Birthday Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps and Honey Bee Stamps

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. To round off my birthday card series, I decided to make another card with the Springtime Gnome die set from Trinity Stamps! I combined it with the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Tag Die set.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base, and another piece of Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also cut a piece of vellum to 3-3/4 x 5″.
I die cut the gnome using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome. I used Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the beard, face, nose and hands, Honey Bee Stamps Giddy For Gingham 6 x 8.5″ Paper Pad for the hat, as well as Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock Paper. I cut his shoes as well as the balloons and banners from Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper.

I colored his face and nose with Copic Markers. I used R20, E0000 and E00. And B32 and B34 for his hands.

I stamped the sentiment from Mini Messages: Birthday 4×5 Stamp Set onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and used the coordinating dies to cut it out.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Honey Bee Stamps Let’s Party 6 x 8.5″ Paper which I cut to 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ and added a die cut word from Catherine Pooler Celebrate Die (retired) cut from the same paper pad as well as Simon Says Stamp 100lb Black Cardstock.

Gnome Birthday Card

Happy Sunday friends! Hope you are safe and having a good weekend. Today I am bringing you this card featuring the very cute gnomes from Simon Says Stamp Lil Gnome Wafer Dies. This die was included in the December 2019 card kit and but is great for Spring, Easter or any occassion cards! I paired them with some cute Lawn Fawn border dies to create a fun little Spring cards. This card is mostly ink blending and diecutting so if you don’t like stamping or coloring, this card is for you!

I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″, one piece to 4 x 5-1/4” and two pieces of Simon Says Stamp Green Apple Card Stock 100# 8.5 x 11″ to 4 x 2 3/4″ and 4 x 1 7/8″. I diecut the edges of the Apple Green Cardstock pieces with the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border.

I used the My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Edges Mix-ables Stencil and Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and Tim Holtz Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink with my ink blenders to add clouds to the top 2/3 of the panel. Then I used Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink to add color to the grassy areas. Next I diecut two strips of Lawn Fawn Straight Flower Border Die from Simon Says Stamp Green Apple Card Stock 100# 8.5 x 11″ and the flowers from Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant Cardstock 8.5 x 11″ (retired), as well as some yellow scraps from my stash for the flower centers. I adhered the flowers to the flower border strips and those to the back of the grassy border pieces.

I diecut two gnomes with the Simon Says Stamp Lil Gnome Wafer Dies. I used pink plaid paper from Lawn Fawn 6×6 Perfectly Plaid Spring Petite Paper Pack and the purple pattern paper from the Really Rainbow Petite Paper Pack for the bodies, Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the nose, beard and background and pink scrap and Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant Cardstock 8.5 x 11″ (retired) for the hats.

I assembled the two gnomes and moved on to assembling the card. I adhered the sky background to the card base and the added the back grassy border to the card with glue and the front grassy border with 3M Foam Tape. I added the gnomes to the card, adhering one with glue and one with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped “Happy Birthday” from the Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome! stampset with Versamark Ink onto a piece of Stampin’ Up! Elegant Eggplant Cardstock 8.5 x 11″ (retired) and added WOW Embossing Powder Opaque Bright White. I trimmed it down to 1/2 x 2-1/2″ and adhered it to the card front with 3M Foam Tape. To finish it off, I added Tonic White Blizzard Nuvo Glitter Drops.

On the inside of the card, I stamped another greeting from the Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome! stampset in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and added some tulips that were left over from the front of the card. And that completes this card.
