Gnomes have been all the rage lately maybe it will last another year who knows.  This cute little gnome is for Christmas.

I used a deckle edge to frame the gnome and then die cut him out and added a couple of paper banners. For the inside just a simple sentiment to finish off the card.

I love angels, they are my second best thing to collect after hearts, so when Stampin Up came out with this stamp set it was the first one I purchased from their catalog.

Sorry to say it is no longer available but I’m sure there are demonstrators who are selling their stamp sets just check eBay.

I first stamped all the images and used gold embossing powder to make it shine ad then stamped the sentiment.

As you open the card the two boxes start to pop up and there is still room to write a message in the top right and lower left part of t card. This card folds flat for mailing.

I received this stamp from one of the ladies at one of the card clubs I am involved in.  The main reason I took the stamp was because we have a black cat in our family and she would probably do just what this kitty did with the lights.

I first stamped the kitty and then colored her with markers, you can’t really tell by the picture but I used winkastella on the lights to make them look like they are on. I added a layer of patterned paper and the a layer of red card stock to make the picture pop.

For the inside I found this sentiment and thought it was perfect for the card.
