gnome - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Cruising into Christmas Cheer

Get ready to smile, because here comes Santa… in gnome form! As the holiday season draws near, we’re steering into the festive spirit with a card featuring the Spellbinders Gnome Drive Holiday die set, part of the Gnome Drive Collection. The charming gnome dressed for Christmas has taken the wheel of a red velvet sports car.

I paired the Gnome Drive Holiday set with a glimmer-foiled sentiment from the Glitter Wishes set in gold, cut with a snowbank die in the Warm Wishes Camper set. As I discussed in this post – “Prepping for Christmas Card Making” – this set of sentiment foil plates was one of my most used.

To create texture, I dry-embossed gray cardstock with the Stargazer folder for the background and added it to a card base. Note: unless otherwise stated, my cards are A2-size.

Once the gnome, car, package, and tree assembly were in place, I embellished the card with snowflakes cut from white glitter foam.

Spellbinders | Gnome in the Haunted Fast Lane

Hello! Imagine a Halloween gnome driving a sports car. I have brought that scene to life showcasing the new Spellbinders Gnome Drive Holiday and Halloween die sets. Gnome-themed designs are appealing and combining a gnome with a sports car on a Halloween card adds a fun twist.

The Halloween add-on die is one of several themed sets in the Gnome Drive Collection. The die set includes a cat, a ghost with a witch’s hat, a witch’s hat for the gnome, and a pumpkin balloon. I have paired the focal image with the sentiment – “Love you ’til the end” from the Dancin’ Halloween Sentiments set.
