The gnomes are coming July 1st, and this is also the beginning of Sale-a-bration! Today’s card combines the Kindest Gnomes Bundle with the FREE Sale-a-bration designer paper, Rings Of Love. He is very happy in this woodland environment.

Woodland Gnome
I stamped the gnome in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used his Gnomes Die for cutting. Then, I colored him with four Stampin’ Blends: Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Ivory, and Daffodil Delight. Did you notice his plaid hat? This was created with In Color 6X6 Designer Paper in Soft Succulent, using the “paper piecing” technique. I stamped the gnome on the DSP, cut his hat with Paper Snips, glued it in place, and trimmed the excess white border.

For his background, I cut a tree ring from the Rings Of Love DSP, and glued it to Basic White Cardstock , embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder. This white layer was cut 1/8″ smaller than the Soft Succulent Cardstock layer, 3 3/4″ X 5″. Both layers were glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

“You gnome me so well” is from the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Harvest Die.
The leaf and mushrooms are also from the Rings Of Love Designer Paper, fussy cut, and placed on Dimensionals, along with the sentiment and the gnome.

I love combining products from different sets to come up with a card design, and today’s card has four designer papers from different sets. I began with the background, which is Rings Of Love, a FREE Sale-a-bration DSP beginning July 1.
After cutting a 4″ X 5 1/4″ piece, I removed an inch from the middle, and glued the two pieces to a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Four Designer Papers
The remaining designer papers are in the current 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I cut the focal point from Awash In Beauty DSP, using its Organic Beauty Die. It’s wonderful when Stampin’ Up! gives us dies that match the designer paper, isn’t it?

Next, I cut two sprigs, with another Organic Beauty Die, from Pretty Prints DSP in Evening Evergreen. And, I used one more Organic Beauty Die to cut flowers from Vellum Cardstock, glued the three pieces together, and placed on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, “just because” was stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. I used the larger Stylish Shapes Die to cut from In Color 6″ X 6″ DSP, glued them together, cut a straight edge at the top, and attached it with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

The Splendid Stems Dies, in the Splendid Day Suite, are perfect for the “inlaid technique.” This plant would be pretty in any color combination. I used the die to cut the plant in six colors of cardstock: Old Olive, Mint Macaron, Granny Apple Green, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Succulent, and Thick Basic White Cardstock. It was so much fun filling the white “frame” with the colored cardstock!

Inlaid Splendid Stem
Prior to gluing, I prepared the background, layering Splendid Day Designer Paper (4″ X 5 1/4″) on a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″).
After deciding where I would place the potted plant, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink. “Thanks” is from the Simply Succulents Stamp Set.

The pot for the plant was created with Basic White Cardstock, cut with another Splendid Stems Die, and embossed with the Hive Embossing Folder.

How do you like the For Everything Fancy Sequins? I love the variety of shapes and sizes, and they come in three color groups. Click on the picture in my Product List for details. They were added with pin dots of Liquid Glue, the Take Your Pick tool, and a little patience.
