Monday Montage Week #179

 

Hello from the Sunshine State! We're currently enjoying the sun in Florida and having a great time! When we get back to reality and a lot of snow, I'll need to finish preparing for Christmas! I'm so glad I've already made some Christmas cards that are ready to go! This is one of my favorites! 

Have a look!



I love how this turned out! I sponged the background of the Whisper White card front with Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and a bit of Blackberry Bliss. I was careful to leave the center of the card unsponged so the stable would appear to be full of light. Stampin' Blends did the trick for all of my coloring.

Gnomes for all Seasons-Summer Gnomies!

Hello friends! Did you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving? I hope so! And I hope you are enjoying lots of leftovers! I think that is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving! 

Today I have one more Gnomes for all Seasons card for you-my Summer version. I think this one might be my favorite! Mostly because I love little red and white mushrooms with spots! And I figured out how to make some really cute ones! But before I tell you how, here is a look at the card!



I wanted this card to be bright and sunny! So, first I cut a rectangle mask and adhered it with Washi Tape on the back of my Whisper White Card front. I used Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pads and sponged on the colors for the background, with Crumb Cake for the path. 
The gnomes were colored with Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, and Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends. I used the Ivory Blends for the skin and Flirty Flamingo for the noses. The trunk was colored with Bronze, and Soft Suede Blends with Daffodil Delight for the lights and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.
The mushrooms were created with the Menagerie Dies!! Aren't they the cutest? And so bright and fun. I used the beaver tail die for the big mushroom, and one of the nose pieces for the small mushrooms. I used the present die for the big stem and the single flowerdie (just the stem) for the little mushrooms. The spots are the circles left over from the flower garland die! It's so fun to create new things from dies!

I hope you like this happy summer card! It makes me smile!

Gnomes for all Seasons-Spring Card!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful day with good food and family! Today I am sharing my Spring version of the Gnomes for all Seasons! This one was a fun card to make!



The stamp set with all of these adorable gnomes is called Gnome for the Holidays. It is such a fun Christmas Set, but there is so much potential for other occasions! Here are a few instructions for making this card!

I used a large circle from the Layering Circles Dies to cut a circle into a scrap piece of paper measuring 4 x 5 1/4 inches to create a mask. Using Washi tape, secure the the mask to the back of  a 4 x 5 1/4 inch piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Use Sponge Daubers to create the background, Granny Apple Green Ink for the grass, Crumb Cake for the path and Balmy Blue for the sky. I also sponged some  Granny Apple Green very lightly where the leaves of the tree would be. Remove the mask. 

The flowers framing the circle are from the Menagerie Dies colored with Stampin' Blends, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight. Save some of the punched out petals and circles from the die! I used them to create the flowers on the girl gnome's hat and apron!

I also used Stampin' Blends to color in the gnomes. I wanted a soft look for spring so I used Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends, pool party, Highland heather, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron. Ivory for the skin and Flirty Flamingo for the nose and cheeks! I created a new hat For the girl gnome and cut them both out with Paper Snips. The trunk is colored with Soft Suede Stampin' Blends And the lights are colored with So Safron.

The sentiment was created using the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. First I colored in 'you're' and then stamped it. After cleaning off the stamp, I inked colored in 'like gnome other' then stamped that on, being careful to line it up correctly.

There you have it! Tune in on Friday for the Summer gnome card!

Now go have some more pumpkin pie!
