KINDEST GNOMES CLING STAMP SET
Put the charm in charming with the adorable Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set! Create playful fairytale cards, tags, and more with four different gnomes to mix and match and a mushroom cottage to complete the set. Nothing says “You gnome me so well” like a card with a couple of these cuties on the front. And the open line-art style means you can customize each gnome by colouring them with Stampin’ Blends, Stampin’ Write Markers, or Watercolour Pencils. Spring, summer, fall, or winter—choose your colour palette and background, then simply stamp and colour to create whimsical cards all year long!
