Well I got a little stamping in over the weekend. I made a few cards. First I made a thank you card for a dear friend and customer. She was my 1st online order. She lives in the small town of Strawberry, so I broke out my knobby gnomes set. I know it's a retired set, but I couldn't give it up. I think these gnomes are so cute.
I need to work on my photos. This is not a very good picture. It doesn't do my little gnome justice.
I used sahara sand, always artichoke and basic black. I colored my little gnome with my Prismacolor™ Pencils and gamsol. I was real pleasedwith the way it turned out. I hope she likes it.
The next card I made was for my aunt. She had major surgey and will be laid up for a few months. I teased her that we were going to find her watching t.v. and eating bon bons.
This was my attempt at bon bons.
I know it's a chocolatebut what the hey. This is another retired set that I can't let go.
I tried out the scallop edge medallion tutorial on splitcoaststamper. It was so easy and makes for a great element on the card. I put crystal effects on the brown part of the candy to give it a glossy look. I used my new swiss dot embossing folder. I have waited for ever to get this folder. For months I would check Michaels and Jo-Anns; nothing and if they did have folders they were old ones, Jo-Anns would have very few new folders. But not the one I wanted. So one day I was reading a post on splitcoaststampers about a company that give 40% coupons to their VIP customers. Well to make a long story short I finally order it from Cut@home along with my rectangle nestabilities.
Back to my card, I used chocolate chip, of course what else would I have used; a little pretty in pink and a retired dp.
Now on the inside I made spiral pop-ups. Two techniques on one card. I was on a roll, spiral that is.
I know, I know, bad joke. Well here is the inside.
Well that's all I have for right now. I've got a couple of Halloween cards I made. I'll share those with you in my next post.
Thanks for stopping by.

Of course I love it! My parents collected gnomes so it had an extra special meaning. And hold a strawberry - who would have thought!
Great job on the inside of this card! I love the idea...I might have to try it! And the colors are perfect!
