Stamps: Gnome for the Holidays, Banner Year

Stampin’ Blends: Ivory, Light Basic Black, Light Cinnamon Cider, Light Old Olive

Cardstock:  Garden Green – three pieces; one cut to 8 ½” x 5 ½” and scored at 4 ¼” for card base, one cut to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and one cut to ¾” x 3 1/8”

Crumb Cake – Two pieces; one cut to 3” x 4 ¼” and one cut to ½” x 2 7/8”

Directions:

Adhere the ½” x 4” piece of Forever Fern Designers Series Paper to the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla and adhere to the inside of the Garden Green card base. Adhere 4” x

5 ¼” piece of Forever Fern Designer Series Paper to the front of the Garden Green Card base.  Set aside..   Use Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp five pumpkins from the Banner Year stamp set onto the 3” x 4 ¼” piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Using the Garden Green and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write markers, color directly onto the leaf and stem stamp from Banner Year stamp set and stamp to add the stem and leaf to the three middle pumpkins (the other two will be partially covered by the Gnomes.  Stamp the two Gnomes onto the piece of Whisper White cardstock.  “Fussy cut” them out (I trimmed off the mistletoe hanging from the hat as well as the lantern).  Color Gnomes using the photo for color placement using the Ivory, Cinnamon Cider and Light Basic Black Blends as well as the Garden Green Stampin’ Write marker.  Use Memento ink to stamp just the hat portions of the Gnomes onto the scraps of Forever Fern Designer paper.  Cut just the hat portions out and adhere to the Gnome images.  Adhere the colored Gnome images to the Crumb Cake cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals (see photo for placement).  Use Memento ink to stamp the sentiment (from Banner Year stamp set) onto the ½ x 2 7/8” piece of Crumb Cake being sure it is centered.  Use the Banners Pick a Punch to punch the ends of both the Crumb Cake cardstock with the stamped sentiment and the ¾” x 3 1/8” piece of Garden Green.  Adhere the stamped sentiment cardstock to the Garden Green piece and then adhere to the 3” x 4 ¼” piece of stamped Crumb Cake cardstock.  Adhere this piece to the 3 ¼” x 4 ½” piece of Garden Green and then adhere to the card front.  .  Enjoy!
