Rubbernecker Dies – Gnomes on Vacation

Hello and Aloha! Today I am sharing a vacation-themed card created with Rubbernecker die sets. I purchased winter supplies from Rubbernecker at the end of last year, and I’ve recently added more dies to my collection.

Rubbernecker Dies - Gnomes on Vacation

  • I die cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I die-cut the Palm Trees from colored cardstock. Before assembling the trees, I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to help blend the two colors.
  • I die-cut the Beach Bag with accessories from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I printed the sentiment on to white cardstock on my computer and cut it with the frame.
  • I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide onto a rectangle. I blended Desert Sand ink on to cardstock and cut it with a die in the Deckle Hills set.
  • I adhered the Deckle Frame to the sky and sand with foam adhesive. I added the palm trees to the scene, followed by the gnome couple and the beach bag, which are popped up with foam and fall outside of the scene.
  • I added the framed assembly to an orange cardstock base.

Cottage Cutz Garden Gnome (Tomte)

Hello! Today I am sharing a garden-themed card featuring the Cottage Cutz Flower Power Tomte. As I have mentioned in previous posts sharing Cottage Cutz projects, the die-cutting and assembly is a bit like working a puzzle.

  • I die-cut the tomte pieces from a variety of cardstock pieces, including some to which I applied Distress inks.
  • I cut the cart pieces with the Puppy in Garden Cart set, adding the Tomte set bird. (The eyes of the bird are microbeads; it was no small feat adding them!)
  • The assembled pieces were added to a card base on which I stamped the Happy Gnomies sentiment and created a horizon with Distress Oxide inks.
