(New Post) Gnome Sweet Gnome Card

 Gnome Sweet Gnome Card

I think this card would make a great house warming card!

I used the Friendly Gnomes Stamp Set and the matching Gnomes Dies to create this adorable card!

Directions:

Cut a Pale Papaya Card Base, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S and attach to the card front.

Cut a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of the Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In-Color Designer Series Paper. Cut on the diagonal and attach it to the Basic White C/S layer leaving a small gap. See photo.

Cut a Basic White C/S circle from the Beautiful Shapes Dies.

Stamp the mushroom onto this circle using Memento Black Ink.  Colour in using the Stampin' Blends. The Blends that I used are in the Product List below. Add some Wink Of Stella to the mushroom.

Attach this circle to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Die cut an Early Espresso C/S straw from the Share A Milkshake Dies or cut one by hand for the sign post. Attach to the card.

Die cut some Evening Evergreen C/S grass using the Gnomes Dies and glue to the bottom of the sign post.

Stamp "Gnome sweet Gnome" onto a scrap of Basic White C/S using Memento Black Ink. Add a "nail" mark using a Black Stampin' Write marker. Cut out into a small square. Using a Dimensional, attach to the sign post.

Stamp a bird in Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S.  Colour with a Soft Succulent Light Stampin' Blend. Cut out and attach to the top of the sign with a Mini Dimensional.

Add some 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the card to finish it off.

Isn't it just the cutest! I hope you can find some time today to create!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sea Glass Thank-you Card

 Sea Glass Card For Freshly Made Sketches

We just came back from another wonderful trip visiting my parents in beautiful Sointula B.C.

One of our favourite things to do while we are there is to collect "beach glass". It's so peaceful walking along the many beaches collecting all the pieces of beach glass. When we find blue, purple or red we are so excited as those are rare pieces to find!

I decided to incorporate some of the green pieces we found into a card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!

I used the Flowers Of Friendship Stamp Set and Memento Black Ink to stamp the flowers onto Basic White Card Stock. I coloured the flowers using Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends and some Wink Of Stella overtop of the petals. Using a good Epoxy glue attach the sea glass pieces to the leaves.

Cut a Basic White C/S circle, stamp the sentiment and add some Rhinestones. Attach it to the card front.

The card base is Pale Papaya C/S cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". 

I left the card fairly simple so that the sea glass can be the star of the card!

Check out all the other cards this week from Freshly Made Sketches HERE! 

Here are some photos from Sointula.
