After making a gingerbread village scene card last Christmas, I went hunting for this stamp set from Lawn Fawn so I had a cute gingerbread house stamp.

Something Else on Saturday #133 Featuring North Pole Collection from Paper Nest Dolls

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. Today I am using the adorable North Pole Collection from Paper Nest Dolls and this card is totally inspired by one from the design team. This scenescape die is just the perfect way to show these cuties, so I just had to do my version of it!

I do find that making cards in this style I have to back my images so you can't see all the Copic colouring on the back side of the card! Makes it a bit more fiddly as I fussy cut everything twice, but the effect is so worth it! 


And another picture with a slightly more tilted angle...
