Evanora

 

Today is the 19th, so here is my August At Home With Gnomes.  I am doing a monthly challenge for myself to use one of the many gnomes stamp or die sets that I have.  Each month I will create a card using one of my many gnome images and I plan to post on the 19th.

For my card this month, I picked a fun Whipper Snapper Designs stamp called Evanora.   I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and die cut the image along with a black backer with a Gina Marie Designs Stitched Rectangle Die.  I decided to use some of the many Halloween patterned papers I have so I picked some from the Echo Park Paper Happy Halloween line.  I added some Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces Black Rhinestones.  I think this is a fun card.

I know I have enough gnomes to use a different one each month.  I will be back on September 19th and will show you another gnome, so stay tuned!

For my March card, I picked a fun Photo Play Paper stamp and die set called Crafting With My Gnomes.  And, the sentiment came from the same set. The Echo Park Paper patterned paper called Let's Create is the perfect match.  The Crafter sticker came from the same pack.  I used my Taylored Expressions All Planned Out 3 Die set for the layers.  I stamped the gnome image and sentiment with my Hero Arts Intense Black ink.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and then die cut the image and sentiment with matching dies.  The sentiment die and backer is from the TE set.  I added some navy glitter dots around the card.  I think this is a fun card.

Happy Gnome Birthday

 

I am a bit late as I missed posting on the 19th--but here I am with my February At Home With Gnomes.  I am doing a monthly challenge for myself to use one of the many gnomes stamp or die sets that I have.  Each month I will create a card using one of my many gnome images and I plan to post on the 19th.

For my February card, I picked a fun Unity stamp set called Happy Gnome Birthday.  And, the sentiments are perfect for a belated birthday, which I need t times...........  I picked my background paper first--a fun Carta Bella patterned paper called It's a Celebration!  I stamped the image and sentiments with my Hero Arts Intense Black ink.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and then die cut the image with a Gina Marie Designs Pierced Chain Rounded Rectangle.  I added the image and sentiments on my card, along with some enamel dots.   I think this is a fun card.

I know I have enough gnomes to use a different one each month.  I will be back on March 19th, hopefully on time, and will show you another gnome, so stay tuned!

At Home with Gnomes-Revisited!

 

So--back in 2021, I decided to start a monthly challenge for myself to use one of the many gnomes stamp or die sets that I have.  My stamping friend Jeanette did a series in 2020 where she made a card every month, using a different gnome image, and posted on her blog.  I loved looking at them whenever she posted those cute non-faces.  So-I asked her if she minded if I "borrowed" her theme for 2021 and she graciously said yes.  So-At Home With Gnomes was created!  But-I did not achieve my goals.  I looked back on my blog and I had posted a couple of cards in 2021 and then a few more in 2022.  And, even one in January of 2023--3 years ago.  But, none since then!  So--I am trying for 2026--cross your fingers for me!  Each month I will create a card using one of my many gnome images and I plan to post on the 19th. I set a date this year so I can see it in my calendar and that might nudge me more.

For my January card, I decided to go with 2 Simon Says Stamp die sets called Large Gnome and Lil Gnome. Each gnome set comes with the backer and then 4 pieces for the hat, body, beard and nose.  I die cut the gnomes a few times for various cardstock pieces in my scrap drawers.  I embossed the background with a Tim Holtz-Sizzix die called Intertwine.  I added a sentiment from a Newton' Nook set called Gnome Garden Set.  Look for me to use that set later this spring.  I think this is a fun card.

I know I have enough gnomes to use a different one each month.  I will be back on February 19th and will show you another gnome, so stay tuned!
