This month, the theme is Seasons’ Greetings. This month’s design team members showcase projects inspired by their favorite seasonal time of the year. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Jerome the gnome said it was about time I made a Christmas card, and he asked to bring along a couple of friends! In order to accommodate his buddies, I decided to make a slimline card. This was easily accomplished with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 7″, folded at 3 1/2″. And, the great news is, Stampin’ Up! has ready-made Slimline Envelopes that fit this size perfectly. You can check them out in my Product List below.

Jerome’s Slimline Card

 

First, to make Jerome and friends, I used Gnomes Dies to cut their cut their beards from Basic White Cardstock, and their pants & shoes from Real Red Cardstock. Their noses were cut from Basic White Cardstock, that I colored with an Ivory Stampin’ Blend, and their hats were cut from three patterns of Painted Christmas Designer Paper. Can you guess which one is Jerome? (hint: he wanted to be in the middle).

 

Before attaching the gnomes with Dimensionals, I created the background with Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/4″ X 3 1/4″, and the Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set. I stamped the branch in Evening Evergreen and Garden Green, and used the “two-step” stamp for coloring in a lighter shade.

 

“Boughs of jolly” is from the Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. Jerome said I should hang it from the bough with a Decorated Pines Die, cut from Real Red Cardstock. I liked his idea!

 

While the supplies were in front of me, I completed the inside by stamping the boughs, and “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.” The sentiment is from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink, and cut with a Potted Succulents Die.

Jerome was pleased with his card, but asked to be moved to the end, next to the sentiment. I said he could swap hats, so I guess we’ll never know what he decided.

 

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on [second Wednesday]. Our theme will be Focus on the Sentiment, when the design team will showcase a sentiment as the focal point of their project.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
