Gnome For The Holidays Holly Jolly Card

I love the fun, angled Designer Series Paper background on this card! You can do fancy measurements to make that angled layer, or simply adhere a piece to the edge and trim away the excess. I like the easier, non-measuring way!

Background Basics—Start this card by embossing part of a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. The texture is only on the top of the layer, so only about 2/3 of the piece should be inside the folder, leaving the bottom smooth and stampable. Stamp the Gnome For The Holidays sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink onto that smooth area. Next, adhere a 'Tis The Season Designer Series Paper piece at an angle on the top right of that textured layer, then trim off the excess. Adhere the layer to the Cherry Cobbler card base.

Sweet Gnome—Die-cut Stitched Shapes circles in Whisper White and a larger one in Cherry Cobbler. Stamp the Gnome For The Holidays image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the White circle and color him in with Stampin' Blends Markers. The hat and ornament are colored in Cherry Cobbler & Shaded Spruce, the shirt with Cherry Cobbler, the shoes and ornament top with Crumb Cake, the beard with Smoky Slate and the face and hands with Petal Pink. Adhere the two circles together, then pop up with Dimensionals.

Gnome For The Holidays Christmas Wish Card

I love the color of this fun Gnome For The Holidays card! So soft and wintery!

Background Basics—Emboss the 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White layer with the Winter Snow Folder and tie Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the layer before mounting it onto a Pool Party card base.

Sentiment Rectangle—Die-cut a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, then stamp a Gnome For The Holidays sentiment in Pool Party ink. Layer it onto a Pool Party scallop rectangle die-cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and pop up with Dimensionals.

Sweet Gnome—Stamp the gnome image in Memento Black onto Whisper White cardstock and color with Stampin' Blends Markers. Color the outfit and hat with Bermuda Bay, his beard with Bronze, his hands & face with Ivory and the shoes & bell with Smoky Slate. Hand-cut with Paper Snips and adhere to the rectangle.

Finishing Touches—Die-cut a So Many Snowflakes snowflake from Whisper White and adhere with Glue Dots, then top with a Pool Party Holiday Rhinestone.
