Hot Chocolate Gnome packets

 I'm in a process of making these hot chocolate packets for an upcoming craft show and I decide to show you one. 

I was thinking about adding a candy cane or candy cane spoons, but it's only October and the stores here are still in Halloween mode....and the craft show is in 2 weeks :) That's also why I didn't do it really Christmas-y, but more seasonal/winter-y

Dies and stamps are from Jaded Blossom and the papers are mostly older Stampin Up plus the ccontents of m  scrap box.

Winter Holidays Gnomes

Our newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called Winter Holidays and I made several cards featuring gnome dies and add-ons by Jaded Blossom

It basically started with a lot of leftover papers from a card kit by Photoplay. I made a bunch of layouts that were missing a focal point so I decided to make a gnome for each. Playing with all the add-ons is a bit fiddly but it's fun and you can use up a bunch of scraps.

Gardening Gnomes

This set of cards was done with sketch from Call Me Crafty Al  Sheetload of Cards August Video - that uses 2 sheets of 12x12 papers. The sketch is pretty simple so I decided to add a gnome to each card. 

I used the gardening gnomes by Jaded Blossom and also matching sentiments from the same release. I made 4 boy and 4 girl gnomes and used scraps for die cutting.

I participate in various seed swap groups and these cards will be perfect to accompany the seeds.

 Our new challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called Hot, Hot, Hot and here is my take on the challenge

My gnomie is using the HOT summer weather to grill a burger on his HOT  BBQ.

Gnome and the BBQ add-ons are from Jaded Blossom and I used Simon says Stamp stencil to ink the background. Papers are mostly from my scrap box.

Sycamore Street 7 - final cards

 I finally manged to turn the whole pack of Sycamore Street paper into cards. I started this process in April, this is the 7th post and if I'm counting correctly I made 31 cards. I got a bit side-tracked with other craft projects and my garden.

Jaded Blossom gnome dies work great with these fun colors so I made 3 more gnomie cards

and used the rest of the papers for these cards

all stamps in this image are Stampin Up, except the girl on the bicycle, which is Penny Black

Sycamore Street Challenge 4 - Mother's Day gnomes

 I'm back with more cards made with Sycamore Street DSP and this time I combined some sketches with an upcoming holiday. I used Jaded Blossom gnome dies - love them, they are a nice size and so easy to assemble. Also love how you can combined the different sets/accessories.

he colors are a bit of in this photo - the orange is more coral IRL and the sparkly blue is lighter - but nevermind - it's quite dark and gloomy today and my camera didn't want to cooperate. For this card I used a sketch from Cheerful Sketches.

I'm also entering it into DL. Art Thankful Thursday  - Mother's Day

Next I have a girl gnomie for you with sketch from Try Stampin On Tuesday

As you see I gave her the flower that came in a guy gnome set + added a little flower on her hat.
