Stampin' Up! You Are Simply Fabulous Gnomes Card

 They're back!  Another Gnomes card!  I couldn't resist!  I absolutely love this stamp set!

I created this card for Global Design Project #356.  This week is "Case the Designer."

This is such a cute card!  I love the background and pretty colors!  Even though I don't have this awesome background stamp from Stampin' Up!, I still wanted to play along.

Here's my card using Kindest Gnomes stamps & Dies.  I really liked the angle of the card to case and how everything flowed from one corner of the card to the next, so I decided to try and keep that on my card.

The pretty DSP is Design A Daydream and the card base is Basic White cardstock.

My card isn't complete until I decorate the envelope too!

The larger leaves and flowers are from Simply Fabulous Stamp set and fussy cut.  I pulled the sentiment from this stamp set as well.

The smaller leaves are from the Gnomes Dies and I simply snipped the leaves off the branches and adhered two of them together to tuck under my flowers.

Fine Sparkle Gems are in the center of each flower as well as randomly on the card.

The cute Gnome was colored with Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends and adhered with dimensionals.

I embossed and fussy cut one of the tree rings, using an ink dauber to ink around the edges with Petal Pink.

DSP was added inside the card with a Basic White layer and the leaf image stamped with Mint Macaron.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I hope you enjoyed my card.

Here are a few ideas to hopefully spark your interest and purchase the "All is Cozy & Bright" kit:

As well as creating the cards as suggested in the kit, I also went rogue and created a few alternates.

Since I love the Gnomes so much, I decided to add this cute girl and her Gnome house on one of the cards.  I cut the front of the card to mat onto Poppy Parade cardstock.  I colored the images with coordinating colors from the kit.  The envelope flap was embossed using the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder.

The background for this card is PERFECT for this cute little bird!  I adhered the branch and bird, as well as the sentiment, with dimensionals.  I added some Linen Thread behind the sentiment.

A koala... why not?  He looks so cute on this card background!  I layered the gold ribbon behind the image and adhered with dimensionals.

Here's another option for the bird.  I cut the card front to fit the Poppy Parade cardstock base and then cut it in half.

And my final card was created pretty much the same as the card above by cutting the front of the card in half and adhering onto Poppy Parade cardstock.  The bottom portion of the Poppy Parade was embossed with the Wintry 3D embossing folder.  Then I created the card the same as in the kit, adding the orange slices, flowers and cinnamon sticks.  Mmmmm, can't you just smell all those lovely smells at Christmastime?

Did I entice you to purchase this kit?  Not only are you creating beautiful cards, but you are getting a headstart on Christmas cards!  Why not buy TWO kits?  The more cards, the merrier!
