Gnome Thank You Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card

My mom sent me the sweetest thank you card! She made a little gnome using the Pine Tree Punch and the December 2019 Something for Everyone Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Gnomes are so popular right now! They are adorable and friendly! I can see why they are in demand right now!

My mom used the Pine Tree Punch to create the gnome's hat, the retired pineapple punch for his nose, and one of the leaves stickers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit for his shoes. She freehand cut the beard. How adorable is he!?!?

Have you tried making a gnome using dies and punches? I would love to see what you have created! I hope you enjoyed this project! Please leave a comment below (click on the pencil icon at the end of this post) or post a project photo on my Facebook page today! I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!
Beth

Fourth of July Daisy Flower Pot Card

Today's card highlights the Medium Daisy Punch and Daisy Lane Bundle (Item #151118). This card is made with patriotic colors perfect for the Fourth of July! I really am pleased out how the flower pot and daisies turned out! I may even use it as a home decor piece instead of a card!

To make the flower pot, start by cutting a 3" by 4" piece of Sahara Sand cardstock. With the 4" side along the bottom of the trimmer or the Simply Scored, score at 1". Fold and burnish the score line. This will be the top or rim of the flower pot.

Lay the Sahara Sand cardstock flat with the flower pot top opened. Mark 1/2" in from the right on the bottom 3" side with a pencil. Mark 1/2" in from the left on the bottom 3" side with a pencil.

Next make the angled cuts to form the flower pot shape. Line up the pencil mark on the right side of the cardstock in the middle of the paper trimmer's track. Keeping the bottom of the cardstock in place, rotate the cardstock so that the right side of the score line is also lined up in the middle of the paper trimmer's track and cut.

Slide the cardstock over and line up the left side of the cardstock in the middle of the paper trimmer's track. Keeping the bottom of the cardstock in place, rotate the cardstock so that the left side score line is also lined up in the middle of the paper trimmer's track and cut.

Then I adhered the flower pot rim down. Next I sponged Sahara Sand ink around the edges of the pot to give it more depth.

I recommend using a liquid glue to adhere the Pinewood Planks embossed cardstock as well as the daisies and the flower pot because the Pinewood Planks embossing folder it not a flat surface but has grooves and bumps. The liquid glue can fill in the spaces for better adhesion and wear.

For the inside of the card, I used the fireworks stamp from Birthday Backgrounds. I used a Real Red and a Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Write Marker to color each firework to get a two-toned look.

I love how the Daisy Lane Bundle is so versatile! This bright and cheery card can be made for the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, fall, spring, or tailored to your recipient's favorite colors. I hope you give this patriotic card a try! I look forward to seeing your Daisy Lane Bundle creations!

You can find the measurements and a supply list for this project at the end of the post. I hope you enjoyed this project! Please leave a comment below (click on the pencil icon)! I would love to hear from you!
