I did make a quick card last night while playing with my new stamps. I used PTI's Framed and Holiday Button Bits with Fine Linen, Scarlet Jewel and Vintage Cream cardstock. I used a tip that a fellow PTI Post-Its blogger Emily posted about misting the cardstock before embossing it. WOW... It really made a difference! I used Pearl Glimmer Mist on the Scarlet Jewel cardstock before embossing with PTIs linen texture plate. After adding the Scarlet Jewel buttons to the gingerbread man I thought it needed one more button, so I covered the "o" in Joy with another button! I think that it turned out super cute, and it did not take long at all!
This picture shows the misting and embossing that I mentioned.

I agree, this is so cute! Love the gingerbread man with his buttons. And I'm grareful for all the tips & advice from others who share our papercrafting obsession.
That's adorable!
I just love that little guy.
Very cute card! Love the gingerbread man.
What a sweet little "man". Love the way you used the buttons.
Isn't glimmer mist the best. invention. ever??? :) Love your use of the impression plate to add texture to your card, and love the JOY sentiment, too.

Now that's cute! Makes me want to use that wet paper technique too - what a difference it makes to the impression :)
So cute!!! That 3rd button was the perfect finishing touch!!
I love your boxy lines like that leading down to the joy. And yes - so hard to wait showing off something because the person is going to see it!
