Sun Prints DSP | The Maui Stamper

The intricate floral frame from the Merriest Frame dies sets the stage for a beautiful traditional card, complete with poinsettias and sparkle.

Color Palette: Basic White, Real Red, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry (inside)
Accessories: Big Boss, Merriest Frames dies, Boughs of Holly DSP, Linen Thread, Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon, Vellum, Stampin’ Dimensionals, retired gold embellishment

I struggled for a bit with the Designer Series paper: it’s pretty bold, and I was trying to use it almost full size on the card front. It was too busy and it overwhelmed the floral frame. But there were some skinny scraps in the chaos that calls itself my craft desk, and they turned out to be just the thing!

More out of the box…I wanted wispy bits of gold ribbon and there was none to be had. However, the end of my gold shimmer ribbon was a little frayed, and as soon as I started pulling on it I realized it was exactly what I needed!! This time I used the warp, not the weft, by cutting a 12 inch piece of ribbon and trimming off one edge. These pieces started unraveling as though they were made for that very purpose!

Oh, these gnomes! They are such fun to cut and assemble like paper dolls! I die cut a big stack of pieces and spent a delightful afternoon putting them together. So much more fun than cleaning out closets. I recommend it.

Stamps: Kindest Gnomes
Color Palette: Basic White, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand
Accessories: Big Boss, Gnome Dies, Aspen Tree Dies, Sun Prints DSP, Blending Brushes, Champagne Jewel Rhinestones, Linen Thread, Wink of Stella, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I had a big stack of Aspens cut from a previous project and a donsy of gnomes (yup, check it out!) The Sun Prints DSP pulled it all together – those papers are so versatile! A little Stella on the embossed lines on his beard dressed up my gnome without overdoing it.

I brushed a little Sahara Sand on the aspens and gave them a little Wink too. For some ridiculous reason I decided the gnome’s hat needed something, so it got a funny Vesuvius tassel. I think I told you earlier this month that I’ve been working outside the box!

It’s quick and easy to cut out the pieces to the gnomes as they’re all pretty simple. Give it a try! See the Gnomes HERE.
