Keep your eyes peeled for gnomes running around this time of year!

This gnome’s playground is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Die, and embossed with the Whimsical Woodland Embossing Folder. This seems perfect for a gnome, don’t you think? After embossing, I glued the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Candy Cane Gnome

 

The gnome was easy to make with Gnome Dies. I first cut his beard and nose from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I colored his nose with an Ivory Stampin’ Blend, and glued it in place. Next, I cut his hat from Painted Christmas Designer Paper, and pants/shoes from Crumb Cake Cardstock. After gluing his hat and pants, I placed him on Dimensionals.

The real fun was adding a candy cane and mistletoe from the Sweet Candy Canes Bundle. I stamped the candy cane in Real Red Ink, and the mistletoe in Garden Green Ink, and used their Candy Cane Dies for cutting.

 

The sentiment that pulls it all together is from the Sweet Candy Canes Stamp Set. I stamped “candy cane wishes & mistletoe kisses” in Garden Green Ink, used a Potted Succulents die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

 

Who needs black ink when you have Stampin’ Up’s coordinating ink colors?
