Directions:
Using a wavy edge ruler or scissors, cut 2 cranberry, and 2 evergreen
borders, 12 inches in length and about 1 1/2" across at the widest
part. Adhere them to the outer edges of your page with the two cranberry
pieces on the top and bottom, and the two evergreen pieces on the left and
right. Don't worry about how they overlap in the corners, this will be
covered up with the square pieces later. Using a paper trimmer, cut two
cranberry gingham and 2 evergreen gingham squares (2 1/4" X 2 1/4").
Next, cut out the pattern pieces along with your decorative paper:
Gingerbread boy--Use dark brown paper and decorate using an opaque white
pen.
Present--evergreen paper
Bow--Use cranberry paper and draw detail with black pen
Santa's beard and the ball for his hat--white paper
Santa's hat--cranberry paper
Santa's face--Use flesh colored paper and draw eyes with black pen, and a nose
with a red pen
Tree--evergreen paper
Tree trunk--brown paper
Star--Gold paper
Adhere gingerbread boy to a cranberry gingham square, present pieces to an
evergreen gingham square, tree pieces to a cranberry gingham square, and santa
pieces to an evergreen gingham square. Adhere squares to the corners of
your page.
