Miss You Gnome

 I miss being able to have a spontaneous road trip where I just hop in my truck and head to a friends house for coffee and a chat. I have been mailing out more cards than I normally do through this time because I want to not only keep in touch with my friends and family, but I am also hoping to share a smile too!

"Sweetheart Gnome" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for a thinking of you, love you, miss you or birthday card. Now I just have to decide who needs a hug and smile in a card and get this in the mail!

I stamped this cutie with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and added the Miss You sentiment from the Mini Sentiment Set #1. I coloured her with Copic markers,  hand fussy cut her and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. Patterned paper from a couple of old Bo Bunny collections was cut to fit my A2 size card base. All of the paper edges are inked with antique linen distress ink to make them stand out. 

Next I cut some vines and a pleated lace circle using matching cardstock and added them to my design. Some tiny glittery flowers, ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Flower Gnome Birthday

I love all of the gnomes in the Summer 2020 new release! Flower Gnome is in the house this week! I wish he would move in to my gardens. He could work some magic for me don't you think? Hot, dry, humid weather has brought out the bugs and they have had a feast on my favourite rose bushes! 
Since he probably be waving some magic in my gardens any time soon, I have created a birthday card with him for someone who loves gnomes and flowers. 

After colouring this cutie with alcohol markers and adding some sparkle pen to the heart I hand fussy cut him using my trusty cuticle scissors. I chose paper from the It's A Boy collection from Carta Bella for this A2 design. To make the frame I took two rectangle dies, taped them down and ran it through my Big Kick. One of the sentiments from the Mini Sentiment Set #1 was the perfect size and fit for my fish tail banner collage. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

One Stamp Three Designs

I have a confession - I am in love! "Handsome Gnome" from the new Summer 2020 release is my new love. 
He is sooo versatile and good for so many occasions! Valentine's Day, Birthday, Missing You, Thinking of You ...and the list goes on. 
Paired with the sentiments from the new Mini Sentiment Set #1 this handsome guy is ready to be made in to a card for any occasion. 
I couldn't help myself, I made three different cards.......

I coloured this handsome guy with three different colour combinations of Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. I hand fussy cut two of them and the third one is cut using a tag die.
Red card - I added my stamp to a background circle and used patterned paper from Echo Park. Red ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card. He is perfect for a Valentine's Day card. 
Turquoise card - Patterned paper from Stampin' Up was perfect to add my stamp to. He is cut out using a tag die so I put the ribbon through the hole pulled it behind the tag and added a bow. Flowers and enamel dots finish off this card.
Blue Scene - I cut a white piece of card stock to fit my 5.5 x 5.5 base and cut a circle out using an inside out circle die. I die cut and added some fun mushrooms and grass and added them to the inked sky background.
