A Snowy Gnome
Well, I finally ordered the Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set! It’s such a cute set and I’m glad I have added it to my collection. It arrived with the Snowflake Splendor Suite and the idea for today’s project was born…a Snowy Gnome! Using the gnome with the snowflakes on his hat in combination with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper, a snow themed card came together. Notice the background of the gnome…it’s created by masking the gnome and sponging inks to create a background that coordinates with the snowy designer series paper.
In the video below, I demonstrate how to color the gnome panel and assemble the card:
Materials:
- Highland Heather Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ score at 4-1/4″ for base; 4-1/4″ x 3″ for oval base
- Whisper White Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 4″ for first layer; 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ for gnome; 3-1/4″ x 3/4″ for sentiment
- Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper: 5″ x 3-3/4″
- Inks:
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
- Balmy Blue Classic Ink Pad
- Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad
- Whisper White Craft Ink Pad
- Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- Ivory
- Misty Moonlight (light & dark)
- Highland Heather (light)
- Gray Granite (light)
- Smoky Slate (light)

Here’s the card from the video with a sentiment from the Snowman Season Stamp Set. After stamping the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White, I used paper snips to trim around the shape.
Stay tuned for more gnome cards! I have more ideas and will be sharing them soon. I would love to hear your comments!
