Conie Fong Art & Design - Christmas Gnomes Holiday Card

I have always loved the look of the traditional red and green colors for Christmas, but have discovered I also like pink, blue, and yellow! This color seems more fitting for the countries that celebrate Christmas when it's summer. I am sharing this adorable Christmas card using Conie Fong's new release, Christmas Gnomes. This set of digital stamps come in PNG and in JPG formats. All of Conie Fong's stamps are currently 25% off until November 15. It's a great time to stock up!

I made this slimline card using a template/die I created using Silhouette Studio. I used my Cameo to cut it out. I also created the Ho Ho Ho in Silhouette as well. You can use slimline metal dies or paper trimmer & circle punch to create the card front panel if you don't have a Cameo. For the Ho Ho Ho, you can use any sentiment stamp or die.

• Conie Fong Christmas Gnomes -Links above for PNG and JPG formats
