Storybook Gnome Christmas Card by Stampin' Up

True confession time, I don't like the Gnome set by Stampin' Up! but I do love the paper, so I bought just that. The Storybook Gnomes 12x12 designer series paper has the cutest little deer and foxes featured! The patterns and colours are wonderful. The patterned paper features Pool Party which is my current favourite colour. I even have a kettle that matches!

The saying "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is from a new, limited edition stamp set called Framed & Festive. It is available to demonstrators now and will be released to everyone in November. IF you can't wait, consider joining my team and see all the perks there is to being a demonstrator. Check it out HERE.

I used the All Bundled Up stamp set for the background snowflakes. It is another adorable set!

Make it Yourself!

The Double Z fold card can be put together easier and faster than you think. After making the first, they come together quite quickly. When looking down on the cards it looks like this:

Tips:

Stamp the background snowflakes before folding the card base
Tie the ribbon either vertically or horizontally on the front. Choose whichever placement best draws attention to the gnome scene.
Be careful when applying adhesive - only the far-right and far-left of the small Z are glued down to the larger Z card base.

Keep scolling for the printable tutorial!

Happy Stamping,
