Stampin' Dreams - Christmas in July

Thursday, 14 July 2022

Time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Christmas in July. For my card, I've used the Stampin' Up!® Storybook Gnomes from the catalogue. I've been having so much fun playing with this adorable suite! Check out this pretty Z fold card I made in Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake!

Aren't these gnomes adorable!
