Gingerbread House Centre-Step Card

Today I am sharing with you my Gingerbread House Centre-Step Card using the Yummy Christmas Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Cuckoo Clock Dies to create a fun winter scene. This card uses a fun-fold called a centre-step and looks very impressive when the card is open. There is a link to the centre-fold template at the end of this document.

I thought the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper with all the snow people would be perfect to create my scene. There was a lot of colouring involved in this card, but I love to colour and had fun making it!
