Every once in a while, Stampin’ Up! releases a stamp set that doesn’t whet my appetite. I can’t imagine a reason to own it or to create with it, so I go without it. Then…someone comes along and chips away at my hard exterior, convincing me that I might, after all, need the stamp set.
Day after day, week after week, Ann Murray changed my mind about the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set. Ann, a friend and member of my InKing Royalty team, is a talented cardmaker with a gift for showing the versatility of images and sentiments. She has shown the Gnome for the Holidays in so many wonderful ways, and I’m excited to share some of them with you today.
Here’s a look at the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set:
And here are fifteen precious Gnome for the Holidays cards from Ann (you can click on any of these photos to see her original post for each):
Brilliant, right?! Ann creates and shares so many great projects on her Murray Stamps, Ink blog. I hope you’ll pop over and take a look!
Thanks for stopping by today!
