Pre-Colored Snowflake Gnome!

Dec18

Today I’m sharing a Christmas CAS card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Pre-Colored Snowflake Gnome from the new December 2024 Release. This pre-coloured image makes it very easy to create lots of last minute Christmas cards.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Whimsy Stamps – Blurry Flurries paper was cut to the same size and applied to the base card using double-sided tape.

The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and fussy cut. Joy Crafts – Merry Christmas Cutting Stencil was die cut using a Cuttlebug and Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust” paper. This was applied along the top of the card using liquid glue. With a spatula, DecoArt Snow-Tex was applied along the bottom of the card and then some glitter was sprinkled onto it while it was still wet. Gentle pressure was used to push the glitter into the DecoArt Snow-Tex. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the upper part of the image and it was popped up onto the card. Lastly, Stickles – Diamond was applied along the bottom of the feet.

Sitting Gnome – Flower Pot!

Dec13

Today I’m sharing a Spring card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Sitting Gnome – Flower Pot from the new December 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink – Salty Ocean and a blending brush, I applied the clouds in the sky with stencils that I had made previous using Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Die. The grass was added in using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks – Mowed Lawn and Lawn Fawn – Clippings – Slimline Grassy Hillside Stencils.

The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers listed below.  Using a Quickie Glue pen, I added some glitter to the butterfly dots, leaves and petals on the flowers. The image was fussy cut and a black marker was applied around the entire image. I applied a shadow in the grass where I knew I was going to position the flower pot. Then using stamps from Lawn Fawn – Garden Before ‘n Afters, I applied the sentiment with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of the ink and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and it was popped up onto the card.

Christmas Tree Gnome!

Nov22

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Christmas Tree Gnome II from the new November 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock.  The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and then it was die cut using a Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers (3.5″ x 4.75″). The image was then coloured in with Copic markers listed below.  A white Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was used to create the white snow in the sky and also the sparkles on the snow drifts on the ground. Recollections – Red cardstock was cut to the size of approximately x 3.75″ x 5″ and the finished image was directly applied to this using liquid glue. Once again, liquid glue was applied to the red rectangle and it was adhered directly to the base card. Finally to finish it off, I popped up a sentiment from Creative Expressions – Wordies Sentiment Sheets – Christmas Script (CEW022) using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

Sweet As Candy Canes!

Oct22

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Candy Cane Gnome II from the new October 2024 Release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Sugar & Stripes and everything nice!” and “Cane you believe it’s Christmas?”.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. I had some dark green cardstock in my stash and decided to cut it to the same size as the base and glue it on. I loved the beautiful patterned paper from Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist and thought it went great with the image, so I cut that to be 4.25″ x 4.25″. The edges were inked around with Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Festive Berries and it was adhered to the centre of the card. AC Premium Candy Cane Ribbon was applied to the top and bottom of the card using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and the image was coloured in with Copic markers listed below. Clear – Wink of Stella was then applied over all of the candy cane to make it sparkle. Both the image and the sentiment were fussy cut leaving a small white border around the image. The sentiment was coloured with YG61 Copic marker and then edged with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rustic Wilderness.

The card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and sentiment and they were popped up onto the card. To finish it off 3 candy canes were added from Eyelet Outlet & Brads – Candy Cane using 2 layers of U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape after I had removed the back tabs from them.

Harvest Blessings!

Oct8

Today I’m sharing a Thanksgiving card using KLM Digital Design – Harvest Gnome II from the new October 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling” and “Pumpkin Kisses and Harvest Wishes”. I’d like to wish everyone a wonderful Canadian Thanksgiving this coming weekend!

I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base card using Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. Cardstock. The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and then I printed it out a second time onto regular copy paper and fussy cut around the top part of the image. I used this as a mask on the card. Using cloud stencils that I had created previously out of Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Dies, I created the clouds using a blending brush and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean. I trimmed the image down to be the same size as the base and adhered it to the card using liquid glue.

Pilgrim Gnome!

Aug20

Today I’m sharing a Thanksgiving card using KLM Digital Design – Pilgrim Gnome from the new August 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “There is always something to be thankful for” and “Oh my gourd, you’re handsome”. Canadian Thanksgiving is only a couple of months away, time to start preparing now!

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and then fussy cut leaving a thin white border. I wanted the image to stand out on the card, so I attached the image to Recollections – Black cardstock and repeated the process. The sentiment was trimmed down to 3.75″ x  1″. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Aged Mahogony and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Fossilized Amber. The sentiment was attached to Recollections – Black cardstock using liquid glue and trimmed down to 3-7/8″ x 1-1/8″.

The card was now ready to assemble.  I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Thanksgiving paper was trimmed to be the same size as the base and was attached with liquid glue. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Aged Mahogony and a finger dauber were used to ink around all of the edges of the card. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and sentiment and both were popped up onto the card.

Thankful!!

Today I’m sharing a CAS card using KLM Digital Design – Pilgrim Gnome – Girl image and sentiment from the new August 2024 release. This stamp also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Hello Pumpkin” and “Oh my gourd, your awesome”. Thanksgiving is not that far off, but as the sentiment says, even without the season, “There is always something to be thankful for”.

To create this card, I began with a 6″ x 6″ card base using AC Cardstock – White. Craft Consortium – Happy Harvest patterned paper was cut to the same size and adhered to the base using double-sided tape. I thought this paper was the perfect background for the new stamp and sentiment.

I printed out the main image and sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using an HP Printer. After colouring in the image with Copic markers listed below, I  fussy cut around it and the sentiment. The sentiment was put through a Xyron Create a Sticker and attached to Recollections black cardstock. Then I fussy cut around it again. With a black marker, I inked around the entire image to give it a solid black line. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the backs of the image and sentiment and they were both popped up onto the card.

Card Recipe:

Stamp and Sentiment: KLM Digital Design – Pilgrim Gnome – Girl

To make this card, I began with Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cut to the size of 5.5″ x 4.25 for the base card.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and the image was coloured in with Copic markers listed below. For some finer lines for the feathers, Prismacolor Premiere pencils were added after doing the base with the Copic markers. The finished image and sentiment were cut down to the same size as the base and applied to the base card using double-sided tape.

Little Girl Gnome and Pup!

Jun27

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Little Girl Gnome & Pup from the new June 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “you’re so doggone cute!” and “I wuff you”. All my life, I grew up with pets. They always brought so much joy and laughter to the home and were all so unique!

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Recollections – Black cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and was adhered to the card using double-sided tape. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was cut to the same size as the base. I spritzed the front and back of the cardstock and then using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Pawprints 2 stencil, a rubber mat and my Cuttlebug, I embossed the paper. With the stencil still in place on the paper, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple and small blending brushes, I inked the pawprints and hearts. Once this was done, I cut the paper to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and adhered it to the black background using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen and the eyes and nose for the dog were added using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was applied for the dot in the eyes and accent on the nose for the dog.

My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out was used to die cut the image. I applied a border around the image and sentiment using Recollections – Black cardstock. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and sentiment and they were centered on the card.

Father’s Day Fishing Gnome!

Jun16

Today I’m sharing a Father’s Day card using Polkadoodles – Fishing Gnome For Men – Bundle that I made for my dad who lives to fish! Happy Father’s Day to all of the father’s out there and I hope you all enjoy your special day!

In Microsoft Word, I created a 5.5″ x 5.5″ outline and then imported the background paper first. Next, I created another box as a guideline and inserted the image into it and centered it on the patterned paper. I then brought in the little bait box and sized it to fit next to the chair. Lastly, I inserted the sentiments from the same digital stamp set and changed the background on them to a blue, leaving the black outline around the text. I moved one sentiment to the top and the other to the bottom. Once I was satisfied on how everything looked, I printed it out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with my HP Printer.

The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then attached to the base card of 5.5″ x 5.5″. Lastly, I added some stickles to the dragonflies wings to give them a little bit of added sparkle.

Birthday Paw-ty!

May25

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card using KLM Digital Design – Little Boy Gnome & Pup from the new May 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “sit happens!” and “the journey of life is sweeter when travelled with a dog”.

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers was used to die cut the balloon and party patterned paper from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Party Time paper pad. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Faded Jeans was then applied to all of the edges around the die cuts. Next, Lawn Fawn – Simple Grassy Hillsides and the Rectangle Frames were used to cut the little bits of grass out of green cardstock.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers and then I added some extra fur onto the dog by applying PrismaColor Pencils. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen. The sentiment was applied directly onto the base card on the inside using double-sided tape.

The card was now ready to put together. I applied the balloon patterened paper directly to the base card using double-sided tape. The lighter green grass was attached directly to the confetti die cut with double-sided tape. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and also the darker grass, as well as, the confetti die cut. These were all layered onto the centre front of the card.

I attached the mask that I had created out of the plain paper over top of the coloured image.

Baking Birthday Trolls!

Apr4

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card using Craftin’ Desert Divas – Chef Trolls (Retired) stamp and sentiments that I made for my mom last month! She has always loved to bake, so I thought these were the perfect little images for her.

With a Cuttlebug and Photo-Play – Circle Windows Etched Dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and Echo Park – Birthday Girl – Bouncing Balloons cardstock. With some scrap paper, I die cut the floral scalloped circle using dies from the same set.

I created a base card to the size of 8.5″ x 3.5″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock.  The edges of the the scalloped circle and patterned die cut were inked with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Kitsch Flamingo and a finger dauber were used to ink all of the edges of the large patterned die cut and then it was attached directly to the base card using liquid glue.

Using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, the images were stamped onto the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock circles. These were coloured in with Copic markers listed below and then applied to the base card using liquid glue. The sentiment was applied to the scalloped circle using a MISTI and Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied to the ink and heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. I applied the circle from the base card into the centre circle using liquid glue and then applied some Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Saltwater Taffy around the circle. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to scalloped circle and 3 balloon brads and they were all popped up onto the card. Lastly, using various Stickles listed below, I added some sparkle to the small dots on the patterned paper to finish it off.

Bride To Be Gnome!

Mar16

Today I’m sharing a Bride To Be card using KLM Digital Design – Bridal Gnome II from the new March 2024 release. This image also comes with 3 more sentiments, “Congratulations”, “on your engagement” and “on your marriage”. My niece is getting married this year and I thought this would be a wonderful card for her.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Using a Cuttlebug and dies from Spellbinders – Grand Arch 3D card, I die cut the image and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was used to die cut the Trellis. The clouds were die cut using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. and Lawn Fawn – Platform Pop-Up Cloud Inserts dies. I created a base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock and for the front flap, I used Cuttlebug Embossing Folder – Swiss dots stencil and ran it through my Cuttlebug. The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below. The sentiment and gold background were cut and layered together using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

The card was now ready to assemble. Using liquid glue, I applied the gold trellis and coloured image directly to the base. The sentiment was popped up and centred onto the top of the card. Lastly, using some glue dots, I added in 3 flowers from my stash to both sides at the bottom of the card to give it some extra colour.

Gnome One Else – Valentine’s!

Feb24

Today I’m sharing a Valentine’s card using Whimsy Stamps – Gnome One Else Clear Stamps that I made for my husband this year!

The image and sentiments were stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cut to the size of 7″ x 5″ using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink. I created a base card to be 7.25″ x 5.25 using Recollections – Red cardstock. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below. The hearts were applied using Kraftin Kimmie – Happy Hearts Stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Lumberjack Plaid using a blending brush. Once this was completed, using the MISTI for placement, I applied the sentiments using Versa Fine – Onyx Black from the same stamp set. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Using a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Picked Raspberry, the edges of the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card were inked all around.  The coloured image was then applied to the base card using double-sided tape.

My husband loved his card and I hope you do too!

Flower Pot Gnome – Girl!

Feb6

Today I’m sharing a Thank You card using KLM Digital Design – Flower Pot Gnome – Girl from the new February 2024 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “You are loved” and “Carry on with courage“.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I had created a 5.5″ x 4.25 frame around the image before printing it out with a HP Printer. I also printed out a second image onto plain photocopy paper and fussy cut around it. The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then I attached the mask that I had created out of the plain paper over top of the coloured image. Using some stencils that I had created previously with Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Dies and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean, I created the clouds with a blender brush. Once this was done, I coloured in the grass. The image was then cut to the size of 5.5″ x 4.25 and attached with double-sided tape to a card base of the same size using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.

A Little Birdie Told Me…

Dec19

Today, I’m sharing a masculine birthday card using KLM Digital Design – Birds Nest Gnome from the new December release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Spread your wings & fly” and “Just popping in to say hello“.  It looks like this little birdie told all of his friends too because they’re all ready to party with their hats on. LOL!

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.  I cut the paper from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Party Time paper pack to the sizes of 5.5″ x .75″ and 5.5″ x 3.5″ and applied them directly to the base card. .5″ x 4.25″ was applied across the bottom and the thin stripe is 4-7/8″ x 1/8″.  The edges were inked around the card using  Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink – Chipped Sapphire.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Using a Cuttlebug, I die cut the image using Lawn Fawn – Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and then popped up onto the base using U-Line double-sided foam tape. The sentiment was fussy cut and then applied with glue to a scrap piece of navy blue cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut around it and then applied U-Line double-sided foam tape and popped it up onto the card. Lastly, I added some Stickles – Diamond to the pompoms on the hats.

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.  I inked around all of the edges with blender brushes and a mixture of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink – Wilted Violet, Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Fossilized Amber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.
