Gingerbread Sheet-Pan Holiday Card (Beginner Friendly)
Fresh out of the craft “oven,” this fun-fold holiday card is sprinkled with cozy baking vibes and made with love. I designed it with the Stampin’ Up! Homemade Treats Bundle (stamps + dies) so the little gingerbread cookies look like they just slid off a cookie sheet.
The background is the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper—black with crisp white “Fa la la la” lettering—and inside you’ll find the snowy texture of Silent Snowfall Embossed Specialty Paper. As a finishing touch, I added a Gold Hoop from the Modern Christmas Suite for a pop of festive shine.
Why You’ll Love Making This (Especially if You’re New)
- Beginner friendly: Clear layers and easy die-cuts help you get a polished result fast.
- On-trend & festive: Neutral black-and-white type pairs beautifully with warm gingerbread tones.
- Time-saving pieces: Ephemera and dies whisk you past the fussy steps.
- Versatile design: Swap colors or sentiments to “re-bake” this card for winter birthdays or cookie-exchange invites.
- Fun fold wow: It’s a Double Gatefold layout that opens like the oven door—because, of course!
Envelope & Postage
This fold lies flat and fits a standard envelope. If you’re sending via snail mail, it may require extra postage due to layers and embellishments.
Supplies Spotlight
- Bundles & Dies: Homemade Treats Bundle; Spotlight on Nature Dies
- Papers: Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper (Fa la la pattern), Silent Snowfall Embossed Specialty Paper
- Embellishments: Gold Hoop (Modern Christmas Suite), Greetings for All Ephemera (for the inside sentiment)
