Christmas Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps

Hello friends. This cute gnome Christmas card features the cute little gnome from the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome dieset.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ to create a square card base, a piece of pattern paper from my stash for the background which I die cut using the Queen & Company Foundation 16. I embossed the panel using the Embossalicious Christmas Merriment Embossing Folder (discontinued) to add some texture.

I die cut the hillsides from Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6×6 Inch Paper using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders and Queen & Company Foundation 16 and used Foam Tape to pop up the front hillside.

I die cut the gnome using the Trinity Stamps Springtime Gnome. I used Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock for the face and nose (I also used some Spun Sugar Distress Ink to color them), Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for his beard, Reverse Confetti Very Merry 6 x 6 Paper (discontinued) for his hat, Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper for his hat band, hands and feet.

I die cut the wreath and trees using the Scrappy Tails German and American Christmas House Add-On Metal Craft Die. I used Crafters Companion Shimmering Cardstock 8 x 8 Green Envy (discontinued) and Garden Green 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock for the trees and Stampin’ Up! Poppy Parade 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, and Reverse Confetti Very Merry 6 x 6 Paper (discontinued) for the bases.

I die cut the sentiment 1x from Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper and 2x from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Queen & Company Sentiment Stacker Dies #1 (discontinued). I finished off the card by adding some Tonic IVORY SEASHELL Nuvo Crystal Drops to the trees.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of pattern paper from Reverse Confetti Very Merry 6 x 6 Paper (discontinued) cut to 1 x 5-1/2″ and a piece of Tim Holtz Metallic Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper cut to 1-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Birthday Gnome Card featuring Trinity Stamps and Honey Bee Stamps

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.

Cards, Spring, St. Patrick's Day, Stenciled Background

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.
