🏠 Design and Artistic Background
This festive stamp series features four unique gingerbread houses, each crafted from gingerbread, royal icing, and various candies. The houses are adorned with sugary fruit slices for shingles, peppermint sticks for support beams, and round, candy-coated chocolates for doorknobs and holly berries, all set against a bright blue background.
