Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Candy Cane Gnome II from the new October 2024 Release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Sugar & Stripes and everything nice!” and “Cane you believe it’s Christmas?”.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. I had some dark green cardstock in my stash and decided to cut it to the same size as the base and glue it on. I loved the beautiful patterned paper from Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist and thought it went great with the image, so I cut that to be 4.25″ x 4.25″. The edges were inked around with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Festive Berries and it was adhered to the centre of the card. AC Premium Candy Cane Ribbon was applied to the top and bottom of the card using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and the image was coloured in with Copic markers listed below. Clear – Wink of Stella was then applied over all of the candy cane to make it sparkle. Both the image and the sentiment were fussy cut leaving a small white border around the image. The sentiment was coloured with YG61 Copic marker and then edged with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rustic Wilderness.

The card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and sentiment and they were popped up onto the card. To finish it off 3 candy canes were added from Eyelet Outlet & Brads – Candy Cane using 2 layers of U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape after I had removed the back tabs from them.
