✂️ One Session, Four Cards: The Gnome Love Card Kit
Using the sweet little Gnome Love Card Kit along with my EZ Wonder Die #1 and its add-ons, I was able to whip up four complete cards in just one crafty session!
This kit is designed for efficiency and cuteness. It includes:
An EZ guide laid out for perfect cutting with the EZ Wonder Die #1.
6 individual gnome images, plus 2 on the EZ Guide.
2 half sheets of patterned prints.
2 full sheets of patterned prints.
2 full sheets of solid colors.
1 sheet of sentiments (designed to work perfectly with the Ultimate Sentiments Die and other EZ add-ons).
💙 Card Spotlight: Blue Gnome Smiles
The Image: I cut the gnome image using the dies from the Ultimate Snowglobe Shaker Die.
The Sentiment: I used the Ultimate Sentiments Die for the cut and then inked it with Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink to make it pop.
The Details: I matted the sentiment with a frame from the same set and added die-cut hearts and two banner ends from the EZ Wonder Die #1.
The Sparkle: To finish, I added some rhinestone hearts and a tiny bit of Stickles to the gnome for that perfect touch of shimmer.
💌 Card 2: The Perfect Pair
For my second card, I focused on this sweet little gnome couple. I framed them using the EZ Wonder Die #1 and its add-ons to create a clean, layered look.
The Layout: I added a panel at the bottom featuring a coordinating heart print to ground the image.
The Sentiment: I used the kit's sentiment, cut and matted with the Ultimate Sentiments Die.
The Finish: You know I love my sparkle! I added just a hint of Stickles to give the couple a little extra magic.
🏁 Card 3: Plaid, Hearts, & Dimension
The third card makes great use of the pieces cut from the EZ Guide. That plaid print is definitely a favorite of mine!
Edging for Contrast: To create a clear distinction between the light blue heart print and the white card base, I inked the edges with Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink.
Handmade Details: I hand-cut a heart from one of the patterned prints and coated it with Glossy Accents and Rock Candy glitter for a thick, sugary shine.
Embellishments: I finished the look with more Stickles and a few Sparkle Enamel Dots for extra texture.
❤️ Card 4: Gnome One Compares
The final card used up the rest of my EZ Guide cuts—nothing goes to waste!
Background Interest: I ran some white cardstock through my die machine with a heart embossing folder to give the backdrop plenty of texture.
Angles & Shapes: I tilted the plaid square on an angle for a more dynamic feel, trimming off the excess. I then layered my fussy-cut gnome over a simple scalloped edge framed circle.
The Final Touches: I added banner ends to the corners and used the punny "Gnome one compares to you" sentiment. For the sparkle factor, I applied White Liquid Pearls to the scalloped circles and, of course, a bit more Stickles on the gnome.
Which of these four layouts is your favorite? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!ome.
