Gnome Sweet Gnome

   
Once in a while I love to do different crafts, and I'm always open to something new. My project today is not paper related but I did use a couple of dies to make it happen. I have a little obsession with Gnomes and have a little collection going already, but I always have room for one more!     

    This fella was so fun to make and he will get a very special place in my home.       

Christmas Gleaming Bundle Teepee Card

    I love Gnomes, and I was kind of heart broken when I didn't see any of these jolly old fellas in the Holiday catalog. But with a little creativity (which we have a lot) :-) we can sure come up with whatever we want! This cute little guy was created with the Gleaming Ornament Punch Pack.     

         I decided to make a Teepee Card so I can decorate each side different. But I ended up using the Evergreen from the In The Woods Die set. This gives it the illusion him being

 in the Forrest. 

    If you would like to make one of these cute little gnomes, make sure you will take advantage of the free shipping which is coming up December 11, 2019. This is a very good time to get some wishes off the list.    

    Let me know if I can help!     

Gnome Or Santa....

       These cute little fellas became pretty popular this time last year and you can still see gnomes of all shapes and sizes popping up everywhere. I have sewn and crafted a few already and I love having the cheery faces all over my house. But I hadn't done one in paper yet, so this is my very first try.        

      Well, I call it a gnome, but when I showed it to my daughter she saw Santa Clause. So it really all comes down who is looking at it.  No matter what, I think he looks darn cute!       

   This is a good size box which comes out at about 6" in height and would be a great gift card holder!

Thanks for stopping by!              

Let it Snow....

    I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. We sure enjoyed this relaxing break in our busy lives, and I was also able to get our house decorated for Christmas. I'm so proud that I was actually done before December hit the Calendar.  This year I plan to try to stay stress free and get all my cards and gifts done so I can also enjoy the Advent time with my family. 
I showed this little Snowman before, but this time I wanted to fill it with some goodies.  

 

I didn't want the snowman to end up in a trash can after it's contents were emptied. So I decided to tie the boxes together and hide the knot underneath the hat. This way you will be able to enjoy this cute little fella for a little while longer.

 

    Also the Year-End Closeout starts December 3rd. You can save big on a selection of retiring and surplus items including holiday catalog items, stamp sets, and Paper Pumpkin past kits. It is not to late to fill somebodies stocking with some crafty items!
