Friendly Gnomes

Don’t you just love this stamp set and matching dies. When they first introduced the gnomes in the holiday catalog I loved them and was excited to see a new set in the mini catalog. I just wish they would have ended up in the new catalog, but unfortunately we have to say goodbye to the cute little guys.

I had a little bit of fun with this card and created some unique folds in how the card opens. I focused on just the image on the front with the message on a special flap that folds down to expose the inside of the card. To create this start with a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of card stock that is scored at 2 3/4 from each side. The face of the card is attached to one side and the other is free to be used for a message. When the card is folded it looks like the background is solid.

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over, (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

The gnome dies that carried over from the holiday mini catalog are also retiring. I thought I’d share this cute card that features just the dies. I love that the dies can cut out the lined images or that you can create an gnome strictly from the dies.

As you can see I really love this set so I thought I’d share a few more samples. I hope you enjoy them. Remember the retiring items are available while supplies last but will be gone for good at the end of the month. There are also many items on sale. Be sure to order today to get your favorites before it’s to late. The hostess code is listed on the right hand side.
