Birthday Gnomie

This is my favorite of the 4 cards that I made using the Gnome Sweet Gnome set. This little gnome is ready to party! With all those sweets behind her, who wouldn't be? I colored her in with markers. I tried some of the marker layering but I'm not sure it worked real well. Anyway, she's still a sweet little card. My youngest daughter, Belle has already used this card for a birthday party that she had been invited too! I guess she thought it was cute!

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Short & Sweet
Ink: Wisteria Wonder, Basic Gray
Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Whisper White
Accessories: Markers: Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, 
Indigo Island, So Saffron, Wisteria Wonder baker's twine, Sweet Shop DSP

I hope you enjoyed seeing my gnome cards. I had lots of fun making them. I may have to make a few more just because I can!

Happy Stampin'!

Baby Gnomie

I wanted to show my club that you don't have to color everything in to make it look good! That's how this card started out. I inked up the D acrylic block with Baja Breeze and stamped using the block. I did this again and stamped again leaving the ink in the block shape on the cardstock. I stamped the baby gnome with Indigo Island. I like the way this turned out with the block stamping. Very simple (would make a good workshop card) but still effective!

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Island Indigo, Whisper White

Ink: Baja Breeze, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories: Twitterpated DSP, Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder, Acrylic block D

One more gnome card tomorrow. That one is my favorite which is why I saved it for the end. Come back and see it!

Happy Stampin'!

Gnomie in Red

 This is my gnomie in red. Every time I think of this gnomie in red the song The Lady in Red plays through my head! Weird, I know! I found this Youtube video so you to can have this song now stuck in your head!

Anyway, my gnomie in red is not my favorite of the gnome cards that I made. I like the layout but something just feels like it's missing.

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature

Ink: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Whisper White

Accessories: Decorative label punch, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle

punch, Twitterpated DSP, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon

So what do you think? At least I used a set that I really didn't think would see ink in my house! (I bought Gnomenclature after my club issued the challenge of creating 4 cards with the gnomes! Pretty cheap set too.)

Happy Stampin'!

Hangin' With My Gnomies

The ladies in my club found out that many demonstrators for Stampin' Up! received the gnome set for free free and they wanted me to make 4 cards using this set. (We got this set by rising above the challenge that home office set before us! Yeah!) I have to admit, that I would NOT have purchased this set on my own but free is free! Because it's not a set that speaks to me, I was a little nervous about this challenge from my club! So I started this challenge with a sketch (I'm not sure which sketch this is as I don't have my sketch book with me!) and started to layout all the pieces. 

This was the first card.

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature

Ink: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzaazz, Island Indigo, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White

Accessories: Aquapainter, Modern label punch,  Word Window punch, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon, Twitterpated DSP, dimensionals

I wasn't sure how much I liked the first one, so I created another and added a layer of Indigo Island under the ribbon and moved the phrase to the top of the card.

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature

Ink: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzaazz, Island Indigo, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze

Cardstock: Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White

Accessories: Aquapainter, Modern label punch,  Word Window punch, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon, Twitterpated DSP, dimensionals

So what do you think? I will be sharing the other 3 cards this week, I hope!

Happy Stampin'!
