TCP January Sneaky Peek Week DAY 1: Hello Gnomie!

Hey there inky friends! Today is the first day of The Cat's Pajamas Sneaky Peek Week and we've got some adorable stamps and dies to share with you this week.  Are you excited to see some. cute stand alone stamp sets and dies?  Get ready!  You're going to flip!  

Day 1 means we're sneaking a peek of the cute little gnome set called WELCOME GNOME!  It's a collection of great gnome images and sentiments for ALL seasons.  I decided to jump right in to all the LURRRVE and dressed up my gnomes for Valentine's Day!  The little heart elements are so fun and make these little gnomes a perfect fit for the lovey-dovey day on Feb. 14.  I paired the stamp set with the fun new GRASSY PATCHES die that is perfect to add that little patch of green to your cards.  I fussy cut my gnome images but you can purchase the CUT FILE HERE.  

I love that you can create your own cute little sentiment by combining a few of the words in the set.  I also love that you can arrange them just so to create a whimsical or formal look...Whimsy for me!  I colored my tag with some Pan Pastels and a blending brush before coloring the stamped images with Copic Markers.  I blended quite a few purples blues and pinks to get just the color I was looking for.  

After stamping and coloring the heart confetti, I stamped the heart banner on the gnomes hands and the heart dangling from the string on that tall hat gnome before fussy cutting all the gnomes and mounting them on the tag.  I added some ribbon and then mounted it on a white panel before mounting on fuschia and aqua paper.  Adding the grass allowed me to add one more tiny little gnome to the center of the card.  

I so love these little guys!  Don't you?  I hope my card inspires you to create something adorable!  Please hop over to my teamie's blogs to check out their fun projects too!  Remember, leave a comment on each blog to have a chance to win a TCP prize!
