Today’s card features the Friendly Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies.The Gnomes Dies debuted in the July- December Holiday Catalog but are currently out of stock (they should be available again the week of March 27th). These are the same dies that coordinated with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set (also in the Holiday Catalog but has retired) but now coordinate with the Friendly Gnomes stamp set that was used on my card today!
I started with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Next, I cut a piece of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and layered it with a piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). After adhering it to the front of the card, I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scalloped circle out of Sweet Sorbet cardstock and a circle out of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then set it aside.
I stamped the gnome from the stamp set, Friendly Gnomes, in Memento ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. I colored the gnome in using these Stampin’ Blends:
- Sweet Sorbet Light – I went over these areas several times to get the shade I wanted
- Petal Pink Light
- Balmy Blue Light
- Soft Suede Light
I cut the gnome out using the Gnomes Dies. Next, I stamped the sentiment, also from the Friendly Gnomes stamp set, in Sweet Sorbet Ink and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the sentiment behind the gnome and then adhered both to the Basic White circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Sweet Sorbet scalloped circle and adhered it to the front of the card. I then placed three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots around the gnome.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Bundle which includes the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies. I also used Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders.
I started with a piece of Pacific Point cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. I then ran a piece of Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the middle of my card.
One of the sheets in Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper is just gnomes, so I used the Gnomes Dies to cut one of them out and set him aside.. I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point using the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and then cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using these same dies, I also cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock.
I tucked the sentiment behind the gnome using several Mini Glue Dots (I forgot to add these into the Supply List) and then adhered the gnome to the stitched circle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circle and one at the very end of the sentiment that hangs off, and then adhered it to the embossed part of the card.
To complete my card, I added three Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems and I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

Today’s card features the Kindest Gnomes Bundle which includes the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and the Gnomes Dies. This was not a bundle I immediately purchased because I’m not really a “gnomes person”. But about a month ago my sister made the cutest gnomes to sell at a craft fair next month and after seeing her cute creations, I was hooked. Plus, I’ve seen so many cute gnome cards from fellow demonstrators. I’m hooked and had fun creating my first gnome card!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card. Then I added a layer of Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper. Then I used that same design to cut a hat for my gnome using the Gnomes Dies.
Using the Scalloped Contours Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the Gnomes Dies to cut the beard out of Basic White cardstock, Petal Pink for the nose and Pacific Point for the feet. I adhered all those piece together, along with the hat and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered my gnome to the front of the card.
I heat embossed the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Silver Embossing Powder and then cut the sentiment out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it below the gnome and tucked it under his feet. To complete my card, I added three Festive Pearls below the sentiment and added two more on the embossed rectangle (unfortunately the Festive Pearls are not available at the moment but should be back in stock the week of November 21st).
How to Heat Emboss
Prepare your cardstock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy (an anti-static pouch that can be found in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit) over the surface of the paper as it helps keep away stray particles of embossing powder. Stamp your sentiment or image using a Versamark pad. This is very sticky ink and your embossing powder will stick right to it. Sprinkle embossing powder over the stamped image and then shake off any excess. Before applying heat to your paper, heat the Heat Tool first so your paper won’t warp (about 10 seconds). Direct the heat over your image and watch as your image becomes shiny and beautiful!
