Gnome Matter What...

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

I hope you had a fun weekend and were able to get in some crafting time!

Today I am stopping by to share a card that I created using a new digital stamp from

 Digi Doodle Studios named Gnorman's Flower Wagon.

Isn't that little gnome the sweetest??

My card was pretty simple to make. I started by creating a white A2 top folding card base and adding a piece of patterned paper that I trimmed down to 4"x5.25" on top. I used some nesting dies to die cut two additional layers from coordinating patterned paper and layered them onto my card as well. I printed out my sentiment, also included in the Gnorman's Flower Wagon, onto a piece of white cardstock. I trimmed down my sentiment and added two scallop pieces behind it, one in yellow and one in vellum, and added it to my card. I printed out Gnorman and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I cut him out using my Cricut and popped him up onto my card with some foam tape. I finished my card by adding a white bow that I made using some hemp cording. 

Cute cute cute!!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E50, E51, E21--

--Hair: W0, W1, W3--

--Outfit: R11, R14, R24, R27, E41, E42, E43, E44--

--Flowers/Pots: E13, E17, Y15, Y17, C1, YG17, YG67--

 Hi everyone and happy Monday!

I have a super cute card to share with you today that I created using a new stamp from

 Gerda Steiner Designs called Brief Kitten Notes.

Isn't that little kitten the cutest??

To create my card, I started by creating a white A2 top folding card and layering a white scallop rectangle on top. I trimmed down some striped patterned paper to fit inside. I stamped that adorable little cat, fussy cut it out and colored the image with my Copic markers. I die cut a photo frame, stamped my sentiment and added a bit of crochet thread to act as my clothesline. I added my frame to my card front, tilting it a bit for some interest, and added my image with some foam tape. I finished my card by adding a little enamel heart.

Copic Colors Used:

--Kitten: C0, C1, C2, C4, R00, R20--

Some days you're the dog...

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and I created a fun card to offer some encouragement, or even just a good ol' laugh, using one of those adorable little dogs that was just released this month from JB called Gnome Friends: Dog Dies.  

Here is a look at the card that I created:

 

How fun right??

To create my card, I started with a white A2 card base and added some blue patterned paper that I cut out using the Stylized Rectangle Dies. I used the Stylized Rectangle Dies again to cut out a piece of green and brown patterned paper, so that I could match up the stitching along the edges. Once I had them cut out, I used the Mushroom Dies to create a grassy hill and the Tree Swing Die to cut out a tree branch and added them both to my card. I created the hydrant by using the Gnome Dies: Firefighter Add Ons, popping up some of the layers with foam tape for a little dimension. I built my little doggy by using the Gnome Friends: Dog Dies, added some enamel dots for his eyes, and placed him next to the hydrant. I stamped my sentiment using the Dog Gone Awesome Stamp set with some Versafine Onyx Black Ink and used the Dog Gone Awesome Outline dies to cut it out. I added a little enamel dot to the hydrant and a few random white doodles to complete my card. 

This sentiment just makes me giggle! I'm sure we've all had days like that right? lol

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I hope you have a great crafty day!

Jaded Blossom's June Challenge!

Hi everyone and happy June!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

This month is.....

Make A Background (using stamps or dies)!

 We would love to see your projects that use those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 

1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking

2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at the card that I created to share with you today...

I thought it would be fun to make a background and use it as if it were patterned paper. 

I started by stamping my images from the You Are Succulent stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I made sure to turn the images for a little visual interest. Once I had the plants stamped out, I did some simple Copic coloring. I filled in some of the empty spaces with hearts by using the Clear Jar: Valentine Add Ons. I trimmed down my panel, doodled around the perimeter and adhered it to my card base. I used the Stitched Arch Dies to cut out a piece of coral cardstock and a piece of white cardstock and then layered them together. I stamped my sentiment from the You Are Succulent set with black ink and added one of the plant images, that I fussy cut out, next to the sentiment with foam tape. I did a little more fussy cutting with some of the hearts so that I could add them around my sentiment as well. I tied a bow using some hemp cording and popped it up with more foam tape. I added some white gel pen doodles to finish off my card. I think this turned out so pretty!

Copic Colors Used:

Hearts: R20, R22

Pots: YR24, YR27, E99

Cacti: YG61, YG63, YG67, R22, G40, G43, G46

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at the card that I created for the challenge:

I love all things Bees and Gnomes so why not combine them?? haha!

I started my card by die cutting some patterned paper using the Card Mat Dies and adhering it to my white card base. I die cut two hexagons using the Stitched Hexagons Die, once from Vellum and again in a honeycomb patterned paper. I adhered my two hexagons together and cut off one edge before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnomie dressed up like a little bee keeper using the following dies: Girl Gnome Die, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Hair Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons, Gnome Faces Stamp and using the Gnome Dies for the flower. Once I had her built, I added a little blush to her check using some Copic markers and adhered her to the center of the hexagon. I created my sentiment by stamping the HAPPY from the Happy Hello Add Ons 2 using some Versafine Ink and using the coordinating Happy Hello Add Ons 2 Outline Dies and popping it up with foam adhesive. I used the Buzzing With My Gnomies stamp set to do a little selective stamping. I carefully stamped just the word Bee onto some black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder, trimming it down and adding it to the top of my card. I added some hearts using the Embellishment Cluster Die and the Banner Dies, along with a few white Nuvo drops, to complete my card. So super cute!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!

I have a fun card to share with you today that I created using a new stamp set from 

Gerda Steiner Designs called Enjoy The Ride.

This stamp set is so fun! It includes 3 images and 6 sentiments.

There is also a coordinating die set that not only cuts out the dogs, but will cut out the opening for the window in the car. 

I created my card by first making my A2 card base from white cardstock. I trimmed down a piece of blue patterned paper and adhered that to the front of my card. I added a piece of striped patterned paper, added that to the bottom of my card & tied some red crochet thread for a little separation between the two patterned papers. I die cut a scalloped stylized rectangle from some road themed patterned paper and popped that up onto my card with foam tape. I stamped my car from the Enjoy The Ride Stamp onto a piece of red patterned paper, fussy cut it out and added it to a piece of white cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut out my window, going through both layers & ran it through my die cutting machine with a stitched stylized rectangle die so that the stitching was consistent on the car and the white cardstock. I added a piece of vellum to the backside so that it could act as the window on the opposite side of the card before adhering my car layer onto my road patterned paper. I stamped that little doggy with some black Memento Ink and did some simple coloring with my Copic markers. I tucked him behind the stamped window and added my sentiment and some matte enamel dots to complete my card. 

So fun!!

Copic Colors Used:

--Window: B000, B00--

--Dog: E31, E33, E41, R00, R20, E04--

--Glasses and Door Handle: C3, C5, C6--

Jaded Blossom Mini Firefighter Release!

 Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!!

It's time for our new Mini Firefighter Release over at Jaded Blossom! 

We have four new items available! Check them out HERE

🚒🚒🚒

As a Firefighter Mom, I am thrilled for this release!!

Here is what I made using the new items..

My first project features this adorable little Firefighter Gnome lending a bit of encouragement lol!

I started by making a top folding A2 card using white cardstock. I die cut some light blue patterned paper using the Card Mat Dies and adhered it to my card front. I cut a wide strip of striped patterned paper and added it to the bottom of my card, layering it over the light blue paper. I used the Rectangle Dies 2 to die cut a piece of white cardstock, stamped my greeting from the Sound The Alarm Stamp set to the bottom and added that to my card front. I built my little Firefighter using the Gnome Dies along with the Gnome Dies: Firefighter Add Ons and adhered that above my greeting. I separated the two by wrapping some red crochet thread around and tying it off with a bow. I used the tiny circle from the Banner Dies to create some little "faux enamel dots" & added them to the top right corner and topped them off with some glossy accents. I think he is just too cute!!

For my second project, I wanted to make a fun birthday themed card.

I had so much fun making this card! I started with a top folding white A2 card base and added a red layer that I cut out using the Card Mat Dies. I used the Card Mat Dies to cut out another panel, this time from Yellow, and added that to my card at a slight angle, cutting off the excess. I added some doodles with a black Micron pen around both the red and yellow panels. I built that super fun Firetruck using the Car Dies: Off Road Vehicle along with the Car Dies: Firetruck Add Ons. Once I had my truck built, I added some elements from the Gnome Dies: Firefighter Add Ons, like the extinguisher and the fire hose and of course that adorable Dalmatian to the cab of my truck. I added a piece of vellum behind to act as a rear window and added my truck to the front of my card. I stamped my sentiment using the Sound The Alarm Stamp set, cut it out using the coordinating Outline Dies and popped it up under the truck with foam tape. I completed my card by adding some stars that I cut out using the Star Dies and the Embellishment Clusters Die.

 I love how this card turned out! Adorable!

Isn't this mermaid stamp from the Mermaid To Be Friends stamp set the sweetest?

This card was so super simple to make!

I used the Card Mat Dies to cut out a piece of white cardstock and stamped my sentiment from the Mermaid To Be Friends stamp set at a slight angle.

How fun is this little handy man gnome??

I created my card by making an A2 top folding card using Kraft cardstock. Next, I used the Card Mat Dies to cut some red cardstock and added that to my card base. I cut a piece of plaid patterned paper using the Card Layers Dies 2 and added that to the bottom of my card, separating the layers with a thin strip of navy blue cardstock. I used the Gnome Dies and Gnome Dies: Tool Add Ons to create my little handy man gnome. I popped him up using foam tape onto a mat that I created using the Ticket Book Dies. I stamped my sentiment from the Nailed It stamp set and used the Word Bubble Dies to cut it out. I did do a little creative die cutting with the Word Bubble Die to shorten it just a bit to fit my sentiment a little better. I popped it up with foam tape and added some little flat metal pieces around my mat to complete my card. 

I think this would make a fun encouragement card, plus it's cute to boot! 😁
