Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels

The collective name for a gathering of gnomes is a Donsy, and I created a doozy of a Donsy with the Kindest Gnomes stamps and dies!

Stamps: Kindest Gnomes, Penguin Place, Peaceful Deer
Color Palette: Basic White, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, Sweet Sorbet, and a few random bits
Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome Dies, Storybook Gnomes DSP, Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, Stitched Rectangles dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals

There are bits and pieces of other DSP and papers in all the variations – if you desperately need to know what something is, leave me a comment. I assembled the gnomes with Tombo Multipurpose Glue and then adhered them to the embossed circles with Stampin’ Dimensionals. This was creative matching at its finest!

These cards got a little dusting of Bermuda Bay snowflakes inside. They’re my cards, and I get to choose the colors! Besides, who knows what color it would snow if it snowed on Maui?

I used different sheets of the Storybook Gnomes DSP and mixed and matched hats and feet (and a few noses, too!) to come up with a Gnome Squad of cards. The message from Penguin Place had serious gnome vibes, but I used a few traditional Merry Christmas sentiments as well. Do you have a favorite?

I kinda like the guy in the middle. He has serious middle earth vibes. If you’re still holding out on the gnomes, do yourself a favor. Check out the Gnomes HERE.

Have you seen the Amazing Thanks dies? You’re going to need them. 😁 Today I’m showing the first of two cards, one with the positive image and one with the negative image. Who doesn’t need to say thanks?

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Amazing Thanks Hand Penned DSP

Stamps: None!
Color Palette: Basic White, Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Pool Party (all from the DSP)
Accessories: Big Boss, Hand-Penned Designer Series paper, Amazing Thanks dies, White Crinkle Seam Binding ribbon, Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin Dimensionals

Cut the reverse, tone-on-tone DSP side 1/4″ smaller on two sides from the negative panel. (I am absolutely smitten with our DSP, with this DSP in particular, AND with the way each page has a patterned side and a tone-on-tone side – maximum flexibility!)

Adhere them, then add a Garden Green panel that’s 1/4″ larger on two sides from the negative panel. Pop that up on dimensionals with a bit of ribbon underneath and stick some sparkle in the corner and you’re set! (My negative die cut panel is 1.75 x 4″, the DSP is 1.5 x 3.75″, and the Garden Green panel is 2 x 4.25″)

I’ll be back next week with a great way to use that positive THANKS die cut! Visit the Online Store for your own set of dies!
