Slimline St. Patrick’s Day Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps

Hello friends. I am loving the new Springtime Gnome Die Set from Trinity Stamps! You can make so many cute gnomes and they are a nice size too!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a slimline card base, and another piece 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″.

For the background I used the Simon Says Stamp BUILD A RAINBOW Stencil with Catherine Pooler Designs Samba, Limoncello, Lime Rickey, and Something Borrowed Inks to create rainbows. I used same stencil with Catherine Pooler Designs Oh Boy! Ink to create the sky.

I die cut the gnomes from the Springtime Gnome Die Set with Doodlebug Essentials 12 x 12 Lots o’ Luck Paper (I think the paper pack is discontinued), Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock, Simon Says Stamp 100lb Green Apple Cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Cajun Craze 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC KRAFT STOCK Paper Stash, Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS KRAFT STOCK Paper Stash, and DCWV Single-Sided 4.5″ x 6.5″ Brights Mat Stack. And the pot of gold was die cut using Trinity Stamps Leprechaun Loot Die Set from Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock and Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC KRAFT STOCK Paper Stash. And the clover in the leprechaun’s hands is from the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers.

I added a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Strips Lucky which I die cut from the DCWV Single-Sided 4.5″ x 6.5″ Brights Mat Stack.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Doodlebug Essentials 12 x 12 Lots o’ Luck Paper (same as on the gnome) measuring 1 x 3-1/2″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy Add-on with Catherine Pooler Designs Lime Rickey Ink.

I have been an avid crafter for two decades and started card making about fifteen years ago and just fell in love. It started as something to reduce stress but now it’s something I can’t live without. It’s so much fun to play with ink and paper and end up with something pretty cool that you can share with someone else. I love the fact that something that brings me so much joy can bring happiness to others too.
i am a wife and mother to two sweet fur babies, Cola and Bailey, that love to hang around while I craft. They bring me just as much joy as crafting. I couldn’t imagine my life without either!
