Stampin with Liz Design: My Favorite Things You Gnome Me Card!

Hi there fellow crafters! Today I'd like to share a whole lot of happiness on a card! I created a fun and bright card with the You Gnome Me stamp set from My Favorite Things. They have a fun sketch up in their blog this week and I had some time to create a card to enter. I always love a good sketch!

A sketch is such a fun way to start creating! It gives you a bit of a start on how you want your card to look. Mostly we tend to create cards in a simple way, grass at the bottom, images from your stamp set on top of the grass and then sky above them. A sketch can take you anywhere!


I started my card by using a white card base in A2 size, which is approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I love this card size, which maches all the fun dies in American sizes. I added a piece of patterned paper in yellow to my card base, which gives it a spring feeling! I then added two pieces of grass. I blended a piece of white paper with Mowed Lawn Ranger Distress Oxide ink, my favorite green ink for blending, and then diecutted this paper with the grass die from the Spring Scene Builder set. I added some cute little flowers with dimensionals on my card, which come from the stamp set Wonderful Woodland Friends and coloured with Copic Markers.

I then started working on my center piece, the cute gnome on his mushroom! I love this set, I said it before, I actually dislike garden gnomes, but I'm so in love with this set! I diecutted a piece of golden foil paper with a die from the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Dies and started building a fun scene. I blended a piece of white paper that I fussycutted in the same size as my rectangle, with the Mini Cloud stencil and Mermaid Lagoon Ranger Distress Oxide ink. I also added a piece of grass at the bottom and a white gate, which is also from the Spring Scene Builder set. I stamped, diecutted and coloured the fun images from the gnome set and added the text in the upper corner. I added this center piece with dimensionals on to my card to finish! 

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!
