Christmas Card using Stampin Up! Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set

                   

  • Stampin' Up! Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set for Christmas Cards
  • Good Things Come in Small Packages Paper Pumpkin Kit arrived just in time for holiday gift cards
  • Valentines?  Easy with the Key to My Heart Paper Pumpkin Kit
This time of the year is crazy busy, and I'm finishing up a few final Christmas Cards and Gift Card packages.  I've fallen in love with the Kindest Gnomes Bundle from the July-December Mini Catalog, and I'm sooo happy it will carry forward.  If you've received your new January - May April 2023 Mini Catalog, take a look at the new Friendly Gnomes Stamp set on page 40.  The dies from the Kindest Gnomes Bundle from the current Mini Catalog work with the Gnomes in the new Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set!!  You'll want to pick up the Kindest Gnomes Bundle now, while its on the Last Chance list, so you can use it with this upcoming new stamp set.  

I used a beautiful snowflake paper from the Textured Chic Designer Series Paper pack from the Annual Catalog, along with one of the Wonderful Snowflakes, and colored the three Gnomes and Mushroom from Kindest Gnomes with Blends Markers.  I used the Gnomes Dies to die cut the Gnomes and added one of the sentiments from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set to the inside of my card.  Scroll down to take a look at the coordinating Gift Card holder I created using the Gift Card holder pieces from the Good Things Come In Small Packages December 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I'm so happy I'll be able to use my Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set and Dies with the new Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set in the new January Mini catalog.

The basecard for this card is Mint Macaron Cardstock.  Then a layer of a snowflake print from the Textured Chic 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  One of the fun accessory pieces from the Mini catalog is the Wonderful Snowflakes.  These snowflakes are iridescent foil, and add a nice sparkle to the card.  Unfortunately, they are on the Last Chance list and are already sold out.

Then I stamped the three Gnomes from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set along with the mushroom house and die cut them using the Gnomes Dies from the Kindest Gnomes Bundle.  I used an assortment of Blends Markers to color the Gnomes.  I love the different personalities each Gnome has.

I used the Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set on the inside of my card, and added a few Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds accessory pack on the card front.  

Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set and Good Things Come in Small Packages Paper Pumpkin Gift Box

Next, I opened my Good Things Come in Small Packages December 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit, that just arrived, and found a couple of gift card holders that worked perfectly with my Gnomes-themed Christmas card.  I select a couple of the Gray gift card boxes from the kit, and substituted the Textured Chic Designer Series Paper in place of the wrapper that came with the Paper Pumpkin Kit in order to match my greeting card.  I added a Gnome, found some retired Mint Macaroon twine in my stash, and added a circle die cut with a sentiment to my Gift Card box.  These gift card holder are going to be great for the Holidays as well as to have on hand for future gift giving like Valentine's, new Baby, Birthdays, or  Graduation.  I may have to order a refill. The Good Things Come in Small Packages Paper Pumpkin refills ARE available to Paper Pumpkin Subscribers.  Item 161847 | $11.00 USD.
