Gnome For Christmas

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

 

Hello Portal Peeps.  Gail here today with some inspiration for the anything Gnome Challenge.  I've gone shaped card and simple and Christmas with mini Pompom Gnome and his Mushroom House.

I do like this wiggly circle die and it's a nice big layered set so great for fun card bases.  I found a bit of card already smooched with distress ink that seemed a perfect background for my green and gold 'shroom house.  The house and the gnome were both stamped on white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.   To finish I stamped the Happy Christmas directly on the background.

Hope you get some time to get gnomey.  You have all month to share your stamped anythings featuring GNOMES!!  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project and we need at least 20 entries to award the prize.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

new beginning

Cathy here with a gnome postcard.

Stamps Used:

Cherry blossom 

sunglasses gnome

I started out by stamping the cherry blossom stamp and colored the buds with a pink glitter pen. I then stamped the sunglasses gnome and colored him in with pencils.

Lastly, I edged it all with drown ink.

I hope you join the fun challenge.

Hello Portal Peeps!!   Gail here today with more Gnome fun.

I made a tag using Lost Coast Designs Coffee Gnome, ATC Perspective and Pieces of Calligraphy with Carmen's Veranda Coffee Vs Challenges sentiment.

 

I started with a piece of card that had a ray pattern on it and cut it with Daisy Mae tag die.  Then I smeared the edges with yellow archival ink and stamped some of the Pieces of Calligraphy stamps with the same ink to add some texture.

 

I stamped the ATC Perspective with brown archival ink and the sentiment with black archival ink. I stamped Coffee Gnome on white card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut and added him to the tag.  I found some curious bobbly lace for my tag tie.

Hope you like my gnomey tag.  You have all month to share your stamped anythings featuring GNOMES!!  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project and we need at least 20 entries to award the prize.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

clean and simple

Hey - Darlene here with my first make of the month with the theme

this month being 'Gnomes" 

I titled this one clean and simple as thats what it was to make.

The background I had made awhile back just doing some smooshing.

The 3 mini gnomes I embossed and coloured and fussy cut out

The little saying is just from some paper I had laying around also.

So - to me - it looked like an evening sky/sunset happening in the background.

So easy to put together, your cards don't need to have a lot going on to look great.

Be sure to enter your Gnome into this months challenge...maybe win some new stamps !!

Hi everyone, Aimee here! I want to wish my sweet husband a very Happy Birthday today. He brings me much happiness, just like these gnomes.

This card is a chance to use some of your favorite patterned papers. Any paper will do, and any gnome will do as well. There's a huge selection of gnome stamps available on the Lost Coast Designs website. Here I've used the Redneck Gnome, Silly Gnome and Flower Gnome stamps. Follow along to see how I made this card:

I hope you'll join in April's Gnome Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Submit your creation by the end of the month for your chance to win a prize!

Hello Portal Peeps!!  Gail here today and this month we are all about GNOMES!!!!   Lost Coast Designs have so many adorable Gnomes I am sure there are one or two that will appeal to you.  Every gnome needs a good home.  Here's a card I made and sent for the Card Chain Challenge international card exchange, where Gnomes were one of the options. 

Love these ZZ gnomes.  I used Lost Coast Designs Grunge Border 2" on my background panel which I also cut with a mixed media die from sizzix.  Then I stamped the gnome on white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.  The Friends Forever words were stamped on a scrap of card, matted and added to the card.
