Stampin' Up! Gnome for the Holidays


Oh my goodness.  I am so excited to show you this card and the stamps set that I used to make it!  I think gnomes are something people either love or hate.  My kids think they're creepy, I think they are adorable!  What do you think?  

Here's the full set 

I started making this card by stamping the treehouse image with black StazOn ink.  Then I colored it using Stampin' Up!'s marvelous markers.  Of course, I rarely color without using a blender pen, and this time was no different.  For the actual tree, I colored using my trusty blender pen and Early Espresso.  Usually I just squeeze the ink pad before opening to get a little ink on the lid, but this time I used a drop of the ink refill. 


After coloring my images (I also colored in the little gnome lady with markers), I used the 2nd to largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut out the treehouse.  After cutting it out, I used my Paper Snips to trim along the stitched edge to made the circle just a little smaller.

I used a 2" circle punch and that same circle die to make the Garden Green circle frame surrounding the treehouse.  To cut out the little gnome lady, I used Stampin' Up!'s Paper Snips again. 

The strips of DSP are from 'Tis the Season Designer Series Paper.  They are cut to 
1/2" x 5 1/2"
1/4" x 4 1/4"  (*2)
1/4" x 3 1/2"

Once I had all my pieces colored and cut, it was a snap to put it all together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin' Dimensionals. 

This card was inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #396  Be sure to check out their blog, they have so many great challenges and inspiration!  

Happy Stamping!

  When you buy stamp sets and then get to that amazing day where you have time to just sit and stamp and make pretty things, do you get even...
