Stamping With Friends August Blog Hop July-December 2022 Mini Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends August Blog Hop as we showcase our favorite Suites and stamp sets in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get ready for the holidays and the change in the seasons. There is so much to look forward to in the next few months and a perfect time to get creative.

Picking my favorite products from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog was not an easy task, as there are so many great suites, bundles and stamp sets in this catalog. However, I must admit, that the Storybook Gnomes Suite was an instant hit with me the moment I saw it. So for today's card design, I decided to use products from this suite to create my Winter themed card. I love that this suite can be used for so much more than Christmas, with possibilities for projects for any season.

Blue Gnome die cut with the Gnomes Dies

This sweet gnome card is so much fun and so easy to create. I love that the pretty designer series paper does the bulk of the work in creating this design. I used one of the snowflake background designs for the background of the opening for the card design and I die cut one of the cute gnomes from another sheet using the coordinating Gnomes Dies, to create the focal image. The embossed snowflakes add wonderful texture to the card front and I love how the Clear Wink of Stella adds a subtle sparkle to the card. The sentiment tag was die cut using the Tailor Made Tag Dies and I added some White Baker's Twine to finish it off. The Basic Rhinestone Jewels add just the right amount of bling to the background to finish off this fun card design. You could use this card for a variety of occasions and this layout would work well for other seasons just by changing the colors and background for the opening. As you can see, this suite is great for so much more than Christmas.
