Happy Galentine’s Day Like Gnome Other

I love to make Valentine’s Day Cards! For today’s cards, I used a stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog that I just didn’t get to play with enough before it retired, Gnome For the Holidays. I really like the play on words with the sentiments in this set and the gnome is just stinkin’ cute! Who says you can’t turn a Christmas gnome into a Valentine’s Day one?!

I was inspired by Julie Gilson’s Christmas card. All I had to do was change the designer series paper from Christmas to Valentine’s and cover up the ornament hanging from the gnome’s hat. I found the perfect size heart in the Stitched Be Mine Dies. (*You can view the complete list of supplies I used in the product list below.)  The hearts and squiggly paper is from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. This pack has lots of fun designs!

The inside sentiment I used is from the Hearts & Kisses Stamp Set. It is perfect for a friend’s valentine card.

I like the other sentiments in this set too and know I will use them throughout the year.

Here’s the details to make this card:

Measurements

  • Card Base (Basic White Note Card): 5 x 7 scored at 3 1/2
  • Real Red: 3 1/2 x 5, 2 1/8 x 3 5/8
  • Basic White: 4 5/8 x 3 1/8, 3 1/2 x 2, 3 x 2 (to stamp gnome and cut out with Layering Ovals Die)
  • Designer Series Paper (Snail Mail): 4 1/2 x 3
  • Basic Black: 3 x 2 to cut Scalloped Oval Die
  • Blushing Bride: scrap to cut heart from Stitched Be Mine Dies

Directions:

  1. Fold and burnish note card. Adhere Real Red cardstock layer.
  2. Adhere DSP to Basic White layer.
  3. Stamp sentiment in Memento Black Ink on 3 1/2 x 2 Basic White. Emboss with Subtle 3D Embossing folder. Adhere to Real Red layer.
  4. Wrap Black & White Baker’s Twine (from Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack) around sentiment layer and tie a bow. Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Stamp gnome on Basic White and cut with Layering Ovals Die. Color with Real Red, Gray Granite, and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
  6. Adhere gnome to Basic Black Layer. Adhere to Card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  7. Cut heart die from Stitched Be Mine Dies and adhere to hat on top of ornament.
  8. Stamp inside sentiment and hearts with Real Red Ink.

What could be better than a cute gnome valentine? A “gnomie” to go with it of course! I have several friends who like and collect gnomes so I sent a little gift with their card. They can put it with their Christmas ornaments and add it to their tree next year. I added a little tag with the same sentiment I used on the front of their card.

The Stampin’ Up! Gusseted Cellophane Bags were the perfect size to wrap up these gnomes for gift giving. I added a Real Red Sheer Ribbon bow and my Valentine’s were complete!

Stitched Be Mine In Color Note Cards

I was able to order the 2020-2022 In Colors (as well as a few other products) that will make their debut in the new Annual Catalog in June.  I could not wait to play with these new colors! I absolutely LOVE them!  So much so that I had to pull out a heart from the Stitched Be Mine Dies to showcase these lovely colors!

Stampin’ Up! is the best at color coordination! The new Designer Series Paper, soft pliable ribbon, enamel dots, Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, and more all coordinate with the new In Colors.

I started with a Whisper White note card and added a layer of Shimmery White cardstock that measures 3 1/4 x 4 3/4. I cut a Stitched Circle from the In Color 6 x 6 DSP and adhered it to the Shimmery White. Then I added the ribbon with a few Mini Glue Dots to secure it. The solid cardstock heart is cut using the Stitched Be Mine Die and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The Shimmery White cardstock is popped up on the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few In Color Enamel Dots add the finishing touch with one on the heart and 3 in the bottom corner! It’s quick & easy card for any occasion!

The heart doilies come in Real Red and Flirty Flamingo or you can flip them over if you prefer white. I love how they are sized to fit the Heart Foil Tins or card fronts.  I’m planning to make homemade fudge for Valentine’s Day to give to family and friends.  The heart foil tins are food safe and perfect to pour the fudge in and let it mold in to shape! Talk about easy! There’s so much you can do with this suite for year round cards and gifts!
