TCP New Release: GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Hey there inky friends!  It's another fun week of new release excitement for me and this week I'm featuring the TCP stamp set called GNOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.  Make sure to visit every day this week for a new and fun creation featuring this most adorable Christmas set!  

To create today's card, I started out by machine stitching my background paper.  I wanted it to look a little shabby and tattered so the edges are a bit fussy.  I think this helps add to the character of this little playful gnome.  I used the Framed Up die to create a red framed element to mount onto my card.  It helped frame the sentiment quite nicely.  

If you take a close look at the center of the card, you'll notice I used the heart Liners CutUps Die and inserted a little red Rinea Foil heart on the inside.  I used my black Staedtler fineliner marker to "stitch" across this diecut.  

I colored my Gnome with Copics and colored pencils and added a bit of gloss to the tea tag, the tea inside the pot and the little heart on his chest.  Isn't he the cutest?!  

Make sure to stop by tomorrow to see another fun project featuring these adorable gnomes.  They're full of mischief!  

TCP New Release...More Snowflakes...

Hello there TCP Fans!  As promised, I'm back to share another snowflake card featuring the new Five Snowflakes dies and the Village Trees Die (exclusively from Poppy Stamps).  Both of these dies are MUST HAVES in your snowflake diecut collection!  

I created my card using some of my most favorite golden sparkle cardstock and mixed the fancy with a bit of masculinity in the graph paper.  I love to add graph paper to my "fancy cards" to bring them down a notch.  HA HA.  

The Village Trees die is a fun little die that reminds me of a frosty village down in the valley.  It sure is a place I would love to visit!  I just diecut this from a piece of white cardstock to allow the light to play off the image.  

Notice the stars and the sentiment?  They come from the Your Gift stamp set.  It's a cute little set with some fun sentiments stars and a bunny placing a star atop a tree.  

To finish off my card, I added a pretty cream colored ribbon/bow and some blingy pearls. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll be back again tomorrow with another "snowflakey" project!  See you soon!
