The Gnomes in the Gnome For The Holidays are just so cute. I used a piece of Cinnamon Cider Designer Series Paper with a woodgrain design to make it look like this little guy is inside a tree trunk.
I’ll show you how to make this Peek-A-Boo opening on the card front to show you they gnome on the inside layer.
This stamp has such adorable images and also some fun sentiments.

For the ornament and mistletoe use Dark Poppy Parade and Dark Granny Apple Green.
Stamp sentiment with Poppy Parade, making sure it’s not stamped too low and doesn’t show through the Peek-A-Boo. Adhere inside Layer, making sure the gnome shows through the card front.
Cut scalloped oval from Cinnamon Cider Cardstock by layering the largest scalloped oval and 3rd largest straight oval. Adhere to card around oval opening.
