Stampin’ Up! Kindest Gnomes Holiday Card

Happy Friday! It has been windy and rainy here on the east coast for most of the week with some almost winter-like temperatures! I’m ready to return to Fall weather now…thank you very much!

I can’t stop creating cards using the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set, Gnomes Dies and Storybook Gnomes 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper! The images are so cheerful and fun to play with!

Several techniques were used to create today’s card – some fussy cutting and ink blending. While Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point aren’t traditional Christmas colors, they sure do create a beautiful winter scene!

I started off with a card base in Pool Party, followed by a mat in Coastal Cabana. A piece of the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper in a Pacific Point snowflake pattern was used for the sky and adhered to the card front. A piece of white glimmer paper was used as a snowbank, and a snowbank was hand cut and adhered to the card front. A number of Christmas trees were cut from one of the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper pack as well as a moose and fox.

Fussy cut Christmas trees were adhered to the card front and the bottoms of the trees were tucked under the snowbank. Using the Gnomes Dies, I die cut and assembled the pieces for the gnome and adhered the gnome to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A fussy cut moose and fox were also added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A portion of the fussy cut fox was glued where the fox overlapped with the gnome.

A sentiment from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set was used on the sentiment label and the label was matted with a piece of Pool Party cardstock and adhered to the top left of the card front. A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added to the card front to complete the front of the card.

Using a piece of scrap paper, I cut another snowbank and used the negative piece of this scrap paper as a mask and blended pool party ink on the bottom of the inside white panel and the bottom of the envelope front. Two additional fussy cut Christmas trees were added to the snowbank for the inside panel. This panel was then adhered to a Coastal Cabana mat, then this unit was adhered to the inside of the card.

I finished off the envelope by adding a piece of coordinating DSP to the envelope flap and this completes the card! How fun is this winter scene? I highly recommend that you grab this suite of products to create your own fun cards!
