Hello friends! WooHoo!! I'm at post/video #17 in my 2020 Christmas card series. My plan is to always do 25 (at least - maybe.....MAYBE I can squeeze in a few more - I have more ideas and stamps and dies than I have time for every year (and always buying more....🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️)) but we shall see how many I can post this year! If you missed any of this years I have links to all of them at the end of this post.
Recently Waffle Flower released several more of their patterned paper pads:
If you aren't familiar with Waffle Flowers patterned paper packs - they're 80lb weight and measure 8.5 x 5.5". So if you score the sheet in half you have a patterned A2 card base. I did a post when they first started releasing patterned paper here:
NEW Waffle Flower Patterned Paper Packs!
Waffle Flower sent me some of their new Christmas papers and the Happy Gnomes stamp set which coordinates with the Happy Gnomes paper pack. I couldn't resist making a bunch of cards and tags using them:
I stamped all the images from the Happy Gnomes stamp set onto Bristol Smooth card stock with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed them with Wow's Clear Matte Dull embossing powder. I used my Karin Brushmarker Pro's and a water brush to color them all in:
After they were all dry I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies and then die cut a bunch of the papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack to make all these cards and tags:
I used Waffle Flowers Oversized Merry wafer die set and the companion stamp set for these two cards. I stacked the die cut Merry 3 times with white card stock then ink blended Simon's Green Apple and Green Leaf inks over it using a blending brush.
I splattered Picket Fence Distress paint on 2 different papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack and used those to create scenes for my cards. The mushroom papers from the pack I die cut with a circle wafer die to create a spotlight for the images and sentiments. The Merry Christmas sentiment is from Waffle Flowers Essential Sentiments combo set with the coordinating wafer dies.
On the insides of all the cards I used the patterned papers from the Happy Gnomes paper pack - all the little characters in the papers are the same size as the stamp set so you can use the coordinating wafer dies for the stamp set on the papers. I die cut a bunch of them and used them to create little scenes on the insides of all the cards.
I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Hugs stamp set onto the inside of all the cards using Faded Jeans Distress Oxide ink. I just love the "sending paper hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs set - I should just use that on every single card I make really LOL!
Last but not least I made some tags with the images and sentiments I had left. I used the Combo Swatch Tag wafer die set to die cut several of the Happy Gnomes patterned papers and adhered all the elements to them.
To finish off all the cards and tags I used several different Nuvo Crystal Drops (specific colors are listed and linked below!) and let those dry and that was it!
