A Friend Like Gnome Other

Gnome, Gnome Mania Release, Gnomes, High Hopes Stamps, , , ,
Welcome Everyone;
Well winter is coming, along with plenty of snow.  I know my children enjoyed playing outside when the snow was falling and it was a becoming a mountain.  One of the many fun activities they enjoyed doing was to go sledding, just like these gnomes are doing.
For today’s card, I used the cute Let’s Go Sledding Stamp paired with Gnome Other.  Both are from the Gnome Mania Release from High Hopes Stamps.  After stamping the image onto XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured it with Copic Markers and then cut it out using the Double Stitched Oval Dies.

Helping My Mojo

Gnome Mania Release, Gnomes, High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

A coffee to go is always a good thing.  Whether it be first thing in the morning, midmorning or afternoon or evening it is mostly for one reason only — it helps with their mojo.  There is no doubt that it gets one motivated to go about their tasks whatever they may be.  But it is also enjoyable.

For today’s card, I have used the adorable Hot Brew and Coffee to Go stamps, both from High Hopes Stamps latest release called Gnome Mania.

Using Tsukinko Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped this image onto XPress It Blending Cardstock and then coloured it with Copic Markers.  I used an Eyelet Elegance Rectangle Die to cut the image out.  Even though it isn’t showing up too well, but a Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen was used on the alternating stripes of his hat.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off this CAS A2 card.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Hot Brew – SLF024, Coffee to Go – FLL020. both from the new Gnome Mania Release, High Hopes Stamps
