I’ll Be Gnome for Christmas

High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, Woodsy Christmas Release (High Hopes Stamps), ,

Welcome Everyone;

This is the first week for my self challenge, I used the cute Cocoa Gnome from High Hopes Stamps latest release called “Woodsy Christmas” and some foil.  It certainly didn’t go as  planned.  I used the Gina K Holiday Flora and foiled it twice; once with a piece of Sparkling Silver and again with some green foil.  I then took the negative and put it over the opposite colour.

Upon reflection, I would have just used a couple of strips, and that is what I will try the next time I do this.

Supplies used:

  • Stamps:  Cocoa Gnome, Gnome for Christmas (Woodsy Christmas Release — High Hopes Stamps)
  • Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP – Photoplay Mod Plaid Christmas

New High Hopes Stamps Release — Woodsy Christmas

High Hopes Stamps, Woodsy Christmas Release (High Hopes Stamps), ,

Welcome OCS and High Hopes Stamps fans;

Today is the debut for High Hopes Stamps newest release called “Woodsy Christmas”.  This is a wonderful and cute collection that will be a must have.

For my card, I have created one that will hold a gift card, using Penguin Tag, Magic of Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Front of Card

Inside of Card

I used a piece of 6″ x 12″ cardstock and scored at the 3″ and 9″ marks.  These two side panels were then folded  and met in the center.

The pieces for the front were cut to 2 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ (green cardstock) and the design paper was cut to 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.  For the center panel the DP was cut to 5 3/4″ x 6″.  The side panels were cut to be 2 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ each.  The silver panel was cut to be 3′ x 5 3/4″.

The gift card or certificate can sit inside the silver panel.  After colouring the Penguin Tag, I cut it out and adhered it to the front.  I left the tag portion blank, but you could write anything here.

  • Stamps:  Penguin Tag, Magic of Christmas, Happy Holidays (Woodsy Christmas — new release for High Hopes Stamps)
