Sending Hugs Gnome

Hello Friends

I just couldn't resist one more quick Gnome Valentine.  I had some really cute paper I wanted to use so I used a gnome from Spring Gnome Cottage die. I also used our Stitched Hearts Set.

Design Steps:
1.  Use an A2 white card base cut a piece of bright pink 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, and a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the pink to the white card base and the DP to the pink
2.  On DP paper cut out a heart second from the largest using the Stitched Heart Set.  Stamp the heart with your sentiment with black ink.  Using the Spring Gnome Cottage cut out the Gnome in white, teal, red, green, flesh and black paper.  Assemble the Gnome with a fine tip glue


3.  Glue the heart and gnome as shown above add a little rik rak to the top and bottom.  Place a rhinestone in the center of the flower and your card is complete



Thanks so much for stopping by!

Gnome Valentine

Hello Friends

Time for a cute little Gnomie Valentine!  I am showing you how to get multiple uses out of your dies.  The gnomes are actually from an Easter release but with a few subtle changes you can use them for Valentines Day.  The dies are Bunny Gnome 12 and 3.  I also used our Heart XO Windows Slimline and Valentine Phrase and More.

Design Steps:
1.  Folded pink card base measuring 8 3/4 x 3 3/4.  Use the Heart XO Windows Slimline and cut out a piece of heart DP as shown above
2.  Use the Bunny Gnome dies 1, 2, and 3 and cut out the following colors of card stock: red striped DP, Black polka dot DP, Teal checked DP, brown, black, pink, white and flesh.  Use the Valentine Phrase and More die and cut it out the phrase in red.  Assemble the gnomes with a fine tip glue as shown above
3.  Glue the Pink Heart DP to the front of the pink slimline card base.  Glue the Valentine sentiment to the middle heart at an angle as shown

4.  Add the gnomes to the card as shown above
5.  Using the Valentine Phrase and More die cut out a few hearts in red, teal and pink.  Add the hearts to the card along with some sequins and it is complete
