Winter Gnome

Today I am showing you my January card for my challenge for 2023--At Home With Gnomes.   I really like gnomes and I have quite a few stamps or sets, so I really, really need to get on it!  They sure are so dang cute!

This was a pretty easy card to put together--the fold is called center stairstep.    The gnome is from a newer Stampin' Up set called Kindest Gnomes.  It is a fun set and also has a set of matching dies.  There is a new stamp set from Stampin' Up that will also match these dies--it is on my January hostess club order!   I colored the sweet gnomes with my Copic Sketch Markers. The sentiment is one of the cute ones from the same set. I cut it as a tag and added some Bermuda Bay baker's twine.   The cardstock is Pool Party and the patterned paper is from Stampin' Up too called Storybook Gnomes.  I embossed the side panels with myt Softly Falling folder.  

I hope you come back and join me during 2023 for more At Home with Gnome cards!

Jingle Gnomes

Today I am showing you my December card for my challenge for 2022--At Home With Gnomes. I did not do very well with this challenge for myself this year......  In fact, I made a post in January and now one in December!  Okay--so I did bookend 2022 with the At Home with Gnomes challenge--but I will try to do better in 2023 as I do want to continue...................  They sure are so dang cute!

This was a pretty easy card to put together as I had all of the layers for this card on my desk as a card kit.  Sarah, from The Paper Cut, included this "kit" in a recent order and decided the shiny colors of the cardstocks would be perfect for a winter card and for my gnome challenge.  For this card, I picked a gnome stamp from a very fun set from Kat Scrappiness called Christmas Gnomes.  I colored one of the sweet gnomes from the set with my Copic Sketch Markers. The sentiment is one of the cute ones from the same set.  All of the layers are from The Paper Cut--shiny and glittery!   I added some rhinestones for the final touch! 

I hope you come back and join me during 2023 for more At Home with Gnome cards!  I do promise to have more than two!

Different but best of Friends!

It is time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the fun image from Woodware Craft Collection called Gnome Friends that Kelly sent out for our July card, #95! That means we are in the middle of year number 7 with this fun challenge! All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time! 

I think this is the sweetest image.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I think these guys--or gals!, are so cute!!!  Three of them, just like the 3 of us making up the Three Musketeers!  I added the perfect sentiment and the background patterned paper reminds me of Kelly, living in Miami with the ocean by her!    I added some orange bakers twine along with the orange enamel dots for the final touch!   I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of the colorful paper:

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  They may post today or tomorrow, so be sure to check out their blogs for their card!   I am up for our August challenge, so I had better start thinking of what to send.........  Please be sure to join us again.

At Home With Gnomes

Today I am showing you my January card for my monthly challenge for 2022--At Home With Gnomes. Each month in 2021, I created a card using one of my many gnome images. So, I knew it will continue into 2022 as I have more gnome stamps to use. AND--some that have already been stamped are too dang cute to not use again!

For this card, I picked a gnome stamp from a very fun set from Rubbernecker's Garden Gnomes Set. They are not all garden related and I knew I wanted a Valentine related card.  I colored one of the sweet gnomes from the set with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I stamped one of the fun images and die cut it along with a layer from a set of Spellbinders Nestabilities Circles.  The background paper is from a Bella Blvd-Illustrated Faith line called You are Loved--Heart a Flutter!  There is also a strip of pink satin ribbon.  I added some Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces hears in red, pink and white for the final touch! 

Here is the inside of my card:

Happy Birthday Gnome

It is the 15th of the month and normally you would see a post with my card for the Creative Card Ladies.  There have been some issues this month with the mail and receiving the kits, so we are delaying the posting until next Saturday.  So--be sure to check back on the 22nd to see my card.

But for today, here is another card for my new monthly challenge for 2021--At Home With Gnomes. Each month I will create a card using one of my many gnome images. 

For this card, I picked a new-to-me stamp from Unity Stamps called Happy Birthday Gnome. Isn't this a sweet gnome?  I colored this cute image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I wanted to use two of the sentiments from the same set, so I thought a mini-slimline card would be a perfect fit.  The mini-slim card base is from Taylored Expressions.  I added a few bright green enamel dots for the final touch!  AND--there is some Glossy Accents on the balloon for the shine!

Here is the inside of my card, with a strip of washi tape

I am sure I have more than enough gnome images to use a different one each month.  I will be back in June and will show you another gnome, so stay tuned!

Here is another card for my new monthly challenge for 2021--At Home With Gnomes. Each month I will create a card using one of my many gnome images.  I did miss posting a card for March, so this is my second one for April.  Now I am caught up!

For this card, I picked one of my gnome stamps from Whipper Snapper Designs called Easter Gnome. Isn't this a sweet gnome?  I colored this cute image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I cut the image with a Whimsy Stamps Stitched Rectangle die and layered it with a pink panel.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions. The patterned paper is from Bella Blvd Simply Spring called Hippity Hop. Some pink ribbon is the final touch!  I think this is a fun card.
