Peppermint Village Sweet Christmas Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Welcome to the Honey Bee Stamps Cozy Christmas Release! Today, I’m sharing a charming gingerbread-inspired slimline card that’s bound to bring some holiday cheer. This project highlights the Peppermint Village Rubber Stamps and coordinating dies, alongside a cozy color palette to make everything feel extra warm and festive. (Please note links to new products will go live tonight after the Release Party (8pm Central) 10/28).


CARD RECIPE

Creating the Gingerbread Village Scene

For this card, I wanted to create a whimsical gingerbread village that looks like it's fresh out of a Christmas bakery. Each house was first stamped with Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. This technique gives the designs a raised, frosted effect that’s perfect for capturing that classic gingerbread cookie look! To add a touch of color to some of the details on the gingerbread, I used Prismacolor Pencils. The images then were die cut using the coordinating dies.

To create the layered snowbanks, I used an older die from my collection, the Horizon Slimline Borders. This die adds soft, rolling hills of snow, adding depth and dimension to the village scene. Each layer of snow is edged with chunky sparkle glitter to enhance that freshly fallen snow effect.

For the background, which comes from the Gingerbread Village Paper Pad, I chose a delicate polka dot pattern which adds a playful texture, making the scene even cozier.

Sentiment & Embellishments

The sweet sentiment, “Have a sweet Christmas,” is from the Sprinkled with Joy stamp set. Stamped in matching Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink, it blends beautifully into the snowy landscape while adding a warm holiday message.

For extra festive sparkle, I added Gingerbread Gem Stickers and adorable candy clay bits for pops of color. To mimic snow on the rooftops, I applied Fine Prisma Glitter, which captures light perfectly, giving each house a freshly frosted look. Chunky Glitter was added along the ground to create a snowy base, bringing a touch of winter magic to the card.



Building this little gingerbread village was a joy, and each detail adds to the cozy holiday feel. This Christmas card captures warmth, sweetness, and a touch of sparkle—the perfect combination for the season! I hope you find inspiration in this release and enjoy creating your own Peppermint Village.

Let me know if you try creating your own gingerbread village card—I’d love to see how you bring this sweet collection to life!
