Storybook Gnomes - My Top Pick From The New Mini! • Birdsnest Designs

Hello stampin’ friends and welcome to today’s post. To all of my followers from the USA … Happy 4th of July!! We celebrated the Canada Day long weekend enjoying some sun, time with friends and a BBQ. It was a lovely weekend! I even managed to carve out some time to do a little stamping AND set up and prepare my brand-new Stampin’ Up! Planner. As it is Monday it’s time for me to introduce you to my chosen product of the week … Storybook Gnomes Product Suite!

To say that I ❤ love ❤ this suite would be an understatement. This is hands down my top pick from the new July – December Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue. Everything about it is awesome. Here in Canada the suite is just $110.75 and includes a collection of these five products:

Kindest Gnomes Bundle
Balmy Blue & White 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon
Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems
Snowfall Accents Puff Paint
Storybook Gnomes 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper

If you are liking the looks of this awesome product suite you can purchase it on my online store from anywhere in Canada. Because I love this bundle so much and want to share it with you …. if you purchase the Kindest Gnomes Bundle or the entire Storybook Gnomes Suite this week (July 4 – 10) I will mail you project kits for the three Kindest Gnomes cards I am sharing here on my blog this week for you to recreate. Click here purchase yours today!

Creating today’s appreciation card was quick, fun & easy!

Let’s Make It!

Start with a Pool Party card base (4/1-4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″) to create a landscape side fold card
Adhere a Soft Suede panel 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ to the center front of the card
Run a piece of 3-3/4″ x 5″ Basic White cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the second largest Stitched With Whiimsy dies centered on it
Adhere this to the Soft Suede cardstock
Using the Storybook Gnomes DSP and the coordinating dies from the Gnomes dies cut out three gnomes of your choice and one mushroom house
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, layer the die cut images on to the Basic White cardstock
Die cut two of the grass dies from Pear Pizzazz cardstock and attach to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
On a 1/2′ strip of Basic White cardstock stamp the sentiment with Soft Suede ink, adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals tucking the right edge behind the front gnome, trim off any excess
Complete the card front by adding three of the Pale Papaya Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems

Adding a little something special to the inside of this card was quick & easy too! I simply die cut another one of the sweet girl gnomes and stuck it to the bottom right corner of a Basic White 4″ x 5-1/4″ insert. I attached this to the inside of the card and voila … special touch added! I also spruced up the envelope a little by attaching yet another Storybook Gnome that I die cut to the front of the envelope.

See how simple it was to create this adorable thank you card using the Storybook Gnomes Suite. I am really looking forward to creating and playing with these products all week long. Leave me a comment below if you are also loving these sweet gnomes!
