Happy Sunday! If you have been here before you know I may have a slight obsession with gnomes. It started last year and it continues. These Gnomes are the Simon Says Stamp Gnome die.

I quickly die cut several gnomes in plain white neenah cardstock. As part of the coloring challenge, I simply colored them with copics.

The hat is the gingham background, also from Simon Says stamp. It is stamped on a 6×6 piece of white card stock, in black ink. Then I die cut and and added color with copics. This way I can get lots of hats and shirts in gingham of any color.

Holly Jolly sentiment is from Concord and 9th (from last year). The red hat pom poms are from last months Woodland Whimsy card kit. SSS has lots of pom poms to choose from.

ADDED BONUS: This die is part of the Simons Says Stamp Card kit available now. A GREAT DEAL! with adorable gnomes stamps and perfect matching paper. I added the link to the die by itself, as well as the card kit.

I got my coloring inspiration from all the gnomes at HomeGoods. So stinkin’ CUTE!!!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s a non traditional Christmas color for today’s O Christmas Tree (Stamp Simply). PINK! And you know love pink!

Tired of green and red? Shake things up with some pinks, purples or even turquoise blue. It’s really is SO FUN!

To make this card, stamp (randomly) 4 trees on the white panel and color them with copics. Stamps and die cut a 5th tress (color the exact same way) and pop it up on foam squares. Finally, carefully stamp the sentiment. I used distress oxide Picked Raspberry and my misti tool. Each time I stamped, the stamp was only partially inked.

Loving that this card is also part of my 30 day coloring challenge. Please follow me on Instagram if you want to see all the coloring. Ready to try some non traditional colors on your next Holiday project? Go for it and most of all have fun!

This card is super clean and simple. I wanted the main focus to be the flowers but I thought I’d detail the supplies I used:

• In The Weeds Stamp and matching die set
• Light Gray cardstock for the card base, 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5
• Black card stock cut to 4 x 5.25 and .5 x 4
• Versamark ink, white embossing powder and a heat tool
• Neenah White card stock
• Memento black ink and copic markers
• Striped embossing folder. If you dont have one in your stash you can recreate this using a scoreboard and diagonal scorelines .25 inch apart.

Love how simple it is to color this image. Here are the markers that I used.
