Christmas in May


I made a hidden gatefold card for Christmas using a SSS gnome die for the main attraction. I used designer papers from Brutus Monroe and SU!. The golden trees were done with a retired SU! mini tree punch and stacked up on each other with tiny die-cut stars to separate them.


When you flip the top of the card up, this is how the gatefold looks inside. I used a SU! framelit die set to create the tree from gold glitter paper and the red mirror star for the top.


I haven't stamped the sentiment inside yet, but I added a strip of matching dsp to coordinate everything together.

I'll enter this into the following challenges:

May Rudolph Days Challenge - anything Christmas goes

Shopping our Stash #446 - gnome doubt about it - use a gnome


MLCCB#34 - May anything Christmas goes


Thanks for stopping by and make it a wonderful day whatever you're doing!

Great fold and design Carol, I love the paper and your adorable Gnome.

As for the Clematis? Yep! my hubby cut a few down in our last garden after I tried to teach him to look at the leaves to identify it, he seems to have learnt his lesson. He thinks if it's not a shrub it's got to be a weed! hahaha

Haha, Carol, there’s that cute gnome! I love your border of gold trees with the tiny red stars connecting them; so pretty. And then there’s the festive plaid and the unique fold - very creative Christmas card. Thank you so much for playing along with the Rudolph Days Challenge.
