Happy Sunday Friends!
Today it's all about my Gnomies 😉 These darling gnomes are the latest release from Spellbinders and are part of the Gnome for Christmas Collection.
CARD RECIPE #1
- To begin I die-cut the Gnomes from the Gnome Tree Dies out of white cardstock and then used Copics to color each piece.
- On the background layer, I then glued each piece back. To add a little extra dimension, I added another layer behind each of the hats and beards.
- For fun, I added some white gel pen highlights.
- To decorate the Gnome Tree, I then added the ornament strings and stars. To the strings, I added gem stickers.
- Next, I glued the Gnome tree to the background by using the Argyle Socks Embossing Folder.
- To finish this card I added a foiled sentiment from YANA'S CHRISTMAS SENTIMENTS Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Dies.
- On the inside, I also foiled the "from all of us" sentiment.
CARD RECIPE #2
- For this next card, I die-cut all the pieces from the Holly Jolly Gnome Dies using white cardstock that I then colored in with Copic Markers.
- I then glued and pieced the gnome, ornament, and bow together.
- For the background panel, I embossed a dark green piece of cardstock using the Hand Drawn Scallops Embossing Folder, trimmed it, and added it to an A2 card base.
- Next, I glued the base of the bow to the card front. Under the knot of the bow, I stacked a couple of foam dots and then placed the loop of the ornament around them, and then glued the knot of the bow in place. This secures and creates the swing mechanism for the gnome to swing back and forth.
- For added details, I used a white gel pen to add highlights and then added some gem stickers to the top of the ornament.
Well, that wraps up my Gnome for Christmas Cards featuring a few of the sets from the Spellbinders Gnome for Christmas Collection. If you love getting an early start on Christmas cards, I think these adorable gnomes are a must-have!
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
