Gnome Sweet Gnome

Hey everybody, happy Friday! Can you believe it’s the first Friday of the last month of the year?! Just like the last several, this year has flown by! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #110. This is my last post as a Creative Creases designer and I sure have enjoyed myself this year! I love the Match Book line over at Art Impressions and have quite a few of them. Believe it or not, I still have a few in my stash that I haven’t made AND there are some fairly new ones on the Ai website that I haven’t added to my stash yet. I’m such a sucker for gnomes and really had fun with this one!

Using the Art Impressions Match Book Template dies, I cut the base from Waffle Flower Gingham paper. I stamped all the components in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock using the Art Impressions Gnome Home Match Book stamps. I colored them with Copic Ciao alcohol markers and cut them with the included dies.

As I always say, the assembly is the most fun and it was very rewarding seeing this adorable little scene come together! Here are some angled shots along with one showing the teeny tiny envelope (cut with the Art Impressions Match Book Envelope dies).

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  3. Oh, Leslie, this card is adorable! I love every cute detail you made, and the paper is so cheerful. I hate goodbyes (always have!) so I hope this isn’t one for our crafty friendship. Please know that I always love seeing your incredible creations and would love it if you could add one to the gallery when you can. Wishing you and your family the very best during the holidays and the coming year. Hugs!
