Gnomes are Fun!


I was still in the mood to work with my SSS Gnome die, so I made a couple of cards using snippets of dsp and cardstock. I bought a pack of that beautiful embossed silver cardstock at Tuesday Morning a couple years ago and I have quite a few small snippets left, so I cut 2 for this card design. I also used snippets of a beautiful pink, black, and white plaid paper I bought at a scrapbook warehouse on a visit to Tennessee quite a few years ago. The polka dot dsp is from my stash as well as the pink. I found a printed circle with a SNSS birthday sentiment, and die cut a scalloped circle to place behind it, then added 2 T.E enamel dots in matching colors. I was so pleased with the way this turned out, I decided to make a 2nd card - switching things up a little bit.


For this one, I swapped the outfit colors on the gnome and added a friendship sentiment cut with a Lil Inker stitched die. I added a little twist of twine just for fun.

I will enter the first card into the following challenges:

Cardz4Galz Challenge #120 - Black and Pink



I might possibly have figured out what my issues are with loading photos to my computer after discussing it with a friend. My camera disk may be corrupted or so old it just doesn't want to work anymore, but time till tell after I'm able to fetch a new one to know for sure. I was able to upload these cards I made recently after unplugging the USB cord and plugging back in and formatting the disk in the camera. {finners crossed} I'm that person who doesn't fix things if they're not broke! LOL

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Sunday.  We have some more dreary, rainy weather for today which really doesn't enhance my mood by any means :(

Absolutely adorable cards, love the check and the embossing - fabulous.
I wasn't able to get my photos uploaded and was told to buy a card reader, so now that's the only way I can get photo to computer. It was a LOT cheaper than buying a new camera LOL. Only cost me about £6.
Keep safe and well.

You are so on a roll with creating these amazing gnome cards, Carol! I love each & every one! Love the colors of these as the pink, white & black looks so elegant together! Great choice of papers and the embossed panel under your little guys! Well done! And I have my fingers crossed that you found your issue with loading your cards onto your computer. Your braver than me....I would just hand it over to Ryan to figure out since he is the computer guru! LOL
