This month we are sharing any Christmas projects we wish!

The adorable Santa’s Delivery bundle is one of those Stamp sets that has so many possibilities. You can see my 3D Wow Advent Calendar HERE

Great for colouring as you can see below, but if that’s not your thing, then there are some amazing images in the coordinating DSP that you can use the dies to cut out saving ooodles of time

Santa’s Delivery Z-Fold Card

I just love how this card came together.

It features some of the fabulous Storybook Gnomes 12″ x 12″ DSP to create a lovely background scene.

Z fold templates are a great way to create fabulous long image cards.

The images has been coloured with Blends and then a lovely shimmer effect has been created using a Wink Of Stella Glitter pen.
