Default Gum on Carpet

So apparently when I went to pick up my GF off work yesterday that she stepped in a fresh piece of gum prior. Now the gum is stuck on my carpet and I don't know how to remove it. I got the majority of it off since 80% of the gum was on the "Lexus" stitching and came off quite easily, the rest of the 20% is on actual carpet.

How or what should I do or use to clean this off? Should I throw the carpet in the freezer and let the gum freeze and then try scraping it off, I don't want to ruin the carpet if I scrape off the carpet with the gum.
