Black & White Storybook Gnome Christmas Card

Here is my Christmas card made using the Kindest Gnomes Bundle comprising the Kindest Gnomes Stamp set and the wonderful Gnomes Dies from the Storybook Gnomes Suite.

I made this card on a recent Facebook Live and you can see how I made this card in the second half at about 43:30 min into the session, where I was showing some projects using the beautiful Snowflake Speciality Vellum

I am so excited to be sharing this project using one of the Stamp sets available to order from the July to December 2022 mini Catalogue, If you don’t currently have a demonstrator and would like me to send you a copy then please contact me and I will pop one in the post to you right away.

This card uses of lots of die cut pieces so its a great way to use of the scraps of card that like to lurk on your desk

Even better this card has very little stamping so if that’s not your bag then this card is perfect for you.
