You're Great!

Hi!
It's the last day of the "Gnome Mania" release over at High Hopes Stamps! The Design Team sure had a fun time playing with all the new images! Today my card uses the adorable "Let's Go Sledding" and the "Gnome Mistake" sentiment.
I wanted to use non-traditional colours on my card today so I decided on a pink and black colour combination. I used some papers from the Paper Rose "B & W Christmas" 6x6 collection and layered pink cardstock behind it. Next I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Friendly paper and coloured the image in with my Copic Sketch markers. I cut the image out using a Gina Marie Designs "Pleated Circle" die. For some added dimension, I popped up the image and sentiment with some foam tape.  A nice white bow finished everything off.
Copics Used:
Skin: E11, E21
Beards: N0, N1, N2, N3
Pink Outfit: RV04, RV06, RV09/ N6, N8

Perfect Blend!

Happy Tuesday!
I love when I can get together with my friends and chat over a good cup of coffee! The "Let's Chat" Gnomes from High Hopes Stamps are adorable and this card will be going out in the mail soon! As the sentiment "Perfect Blend" says..... coffee and friends are the perfect blend!


After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured in parts of the image with my Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Sunny Studios "All Is Bright" 6x6 pad. I had some fun on this card and paper pieced the Gnomes outfits from the matching paper. I haven't paper pieced in awhile and forgot how fun it is and adds a different element to your card. Using a stitched oval die I cut out the image and added it to my card base. A few diamond gems finish everything off.

Coffee!

Howdy!
The Design Team over at High Hopes Stamps is having a blast this month creating with the new "Gnome Mania Release"! I'm using the adorable "Coffee Bean" Gnone. on my card today. I love the "Nothing Begins" sentiment too! In my house it's so true.... nothing begins before that first cup or two of coffee!
I made a fairly simple card design today. To be honest I have limited supplies where I am right now and of course you never bring the right stuff with you LOL. To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Sketch markers. I am using papers today from the Pink & Main "Best Friends" 6x6 collection. Once I had my image ready, I used a Gina Marie Doubled Roped Rectangle die to cut out my cutie. I stamped the sentiment onto a little tag die and added it to my card with some twine. 
Copics Used:
Skin: E00. E21, E11
Beard: C00, C1, C2, C3
Outfit: G28, YG17, YG03, YG01/ C5, 7, C8

Who doesn't love a Gnome?! But a stack of Gnomes, oh my goodness, cuteness overload! This adorable image called "Perfectly Stackable" is from High Hopes Stamp's new "Gnome Mania" release. 
I started making my card by stamping the image onto Copic Friendly paper and colouring it in with my Copic markers. Using a Gina Marie Arched Stitched Tag die, I cut my Gnomes out. I am using papers from the new Echo Park "Winter" 6x6 collection. I love the High Hope sentiment called "Stack of Wishes", it matches these cuties perfectly. Some enamel dots and a pretty white bow finish off my card!

There's something for everyone..... from Christmas to coffee themed to sewing and so much more! I got to use this adorable image called "Checkin' It Twice".
