Happy Friday! I'm back today with the last of my gnome cards for now. But don't be surprised if I drag them back out for more projects later. I love the smile on this guy. He looks so happy to be here today. He probably is because it's Friday! I'm really happy with how this one turned out. The snowflake vellum paper goes so well with the blue snowflake pattern paper. The three larger snowflakes are cut out from the pattern paper. Next … [Read more...] about You Gnome Me So Well
Holiday Cards
Warm Wishes
I'm back with more gnomes today. This time I'm using the itty bitty gnome from the pattern paper. And this time he has a friend, Mr. Moose. I like how they are greeting each other on a beautiful Winter day. The gnome and the moose were punched out from the pattern paper. This saves so much time when making cards. I could have just cut out the rectangle, but I like the look of the punched edge. It gives it a little something extra. I'll … [Read more...] about Warm Wishes
Kindest Gnomes
Every time we come out with a Gnome set, I have a really hard time resisting it. I don't know why I think these long-haired little old men are so cute, but they are. Specially when you pair them with an adorable mushroom home. These little guys really are just the cutest! The mushroom house and the tiny fox are cut from the matching pattern paper. The gnome is stamped and colored in using our Blends alcohol markers. I loved this Suite so … [Read more...] about Kindest Gnomes

Merry… Christmas?
What? Too soon? I know, I've raced by Fall and I'm now on to Christmas. Actually, not really. It's just this one card. I found one very similar to this on Stampin Up's Facebook group and I love the simplicity of it. This uses the tree rings from the Rings of Love pattern paper, which I cut out. Then I stamped the leaves and die cut more leaves and the berry springs to go with it. The Rings of Love paper is one of the free Sale-a-bration … [Read more...] about Merry… Christmas?
Happy New Year!
On Wednesday I shared that fabulous treat holder with the mini coffee cups and box. I ended up with some extra bits when making the treat holder, so I turned my leftovers into cards. Here is the first card using up the things I used to decorate the coffee cup. I added the gorgeous pinecone paper as my background and it pairs so well with the pinecone stamps. My second card used up some of the label pieces and strips of pattern paper … [Read more...] about Happy New Year!
One More Snowy Village
As I was working on my Ornament for the post this past Wednesday, I kept getting these beautiful backgrounds behind the trees. But with the ornament and Cloche Domes, you couldn't see much of the sky in the background. Today's card shows that gorgeous background and you can see more of the forest behind the village. What's amazing is that all the backgrounds that I made have a color variation in them so they are all slightly different. To … [Read more...] about One More Snowy Village
Snowy Village
I'm back today with another project using the classic Cloche stamp set. I love the tiny snowy village in this stamp set.. the serene look of the tiny houses all blanketed with snow. That gorgeous pattern paper is from the Peaceful Place Suite along with the matching Subtle Shimmer Sequins. The sequins are not self-adhesive, but they are so pretty and so worth the effort to glue them down individually. I used this card for my September … [Read more...] about Snowy Village
