Gnome for the Holidays
Hello Friends…
Welcome back to my Studio! I’m so glad you joined me today!
Ink n’ Splatter has a NEW RELEASE for September of Fall Gnomes and NEW set of Pattern Paper called “Autumn Cozies“…if you are a Gnomie, you will love these little cuties:
Gnome My Pumpkin Pie…
Today I am featuring the “Gnome My Pumpkin Pie” Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set (sold separately)
and the NEW “Autumn Cozies” Pattern Paper Collection
Easel Tent Fold…
I created a super easy Tent Fold Easel Card. I love this design because only 1 piece of paper is needed to create the card base and when closed, it fits easily into an A2 envelope. 
Card BASe…
For my base, I cut a piece of Kraft card stock at 4.25″ x 11″ and scored it on the long side at approximately 4.25″ and 8.5″ and that’s all you need to create this basic Tent Fold Easel Card…the rest is all dress up!
COLORING…
I stamped all my image from the “Gnome My Pumpkin Pie” Stamp Set on marker paper with black hybrid ink. I colored this Gnomie & his curious little birdie using Copic markers.

Dress Up…
Time to put my card together.
I cut a piece pattern paper approximately 4″ x 4″ for the front of my card and attached it to my card base front. Then I die cut a stitched circle from white card stock and gave it a little color by ink blending the edges with coordinating ink.
I added the circle to the upper center of my pattern paper with foam adhesive and placed my Pumpkin Pie Gnome, with foam adhesive, on the lower portion of my blended circle.
I cut another piece of pattern paper approximately for my lower panel which serves as my easel base 2.25″ x 4″ and attached it to the bottom panel. Then I offset the sentiment strips and added them to the bottom panel with foam adhesive…thi step is important to act as a stopper to create the tent easel.
A Few Extras…
In order to dress up my tent fold easel card I die cut a few random leaf clusters from white card stock and then I ink blended them with a few coordinating fall colors. Then I placed them around my focal image. I also added a few coordinating enamel dots around my card and
I hope I have inspired you today to create something Fabulously Fun & Heart-Warming. Your creations will bring you, or someone else, a little bit of joy for the moment.
