St. Patrick's Day Gnomes

Another seasonal gnome add on set for the Gnome Dies.  This time it's St. Patrick's Day!  
You can make them into gnomes to leprechauns with all kinds of fun little shamrocks and rainbow accessories.

First up is the leprechaun - I chopped off the gnome head and put on his top hat.  I mean, I made a few alterations to the die cut. 😎  
I love all his gold coins that have fallen from the pot of gold.  Remember to face your horseshoe with the opening at the top so your luck doesn't fall out.
The 'good luck' sentiment and the background are made with the St. Patrick's Day Word Dies.


Gnome Dies: St Patrick's Day


This one is made with 5 gnomes, lining their hats up in the center of the card.  I didn't completely make the gnomes, just the hat, nose, beard and mustache.
I added the St. Patrick's Day sentiment from the Lucky Charm Stamps and Dies


What's St' Patrick's Day without chocolate coins?  Man, those things are so hard to find!
I made a little tray to put them in and then slid them into a Wilton Pretzel Bag. Perfect fit!
I die cut a lucky sentiment from the St. Patrick's Day Word Dies and tied it on with the gnome as a tag.

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month - Typing Class!

It is time for the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month and this might be my favorite to date!
I had so much fun creating these, that I'm going to make a few into Valentine' cards as well!


I love typewriters and what I really like about this one is the keys are SO real and dimensional.  
The whole thing is dimensional, but that part is really the icing on the top for me.


The typewriter is made with Silver Fox cardstock. I used silver mirror paper for the key tops.


Another fun thing is it opens so you can put your message in there (or a secret message) as well as the inside of the card.
Large Die of the Month

This die set is a 22 piece die set that includes the typewriter and all its parts plus three flower designs and four leaf designs.

Here is another one done in a mustard color and purple flowers.  This one didn't photograph quite as bright and pretty as it really is in real life.


This one I adhered together, no inside message.

It's a Good Day To Be Happy

It's a good day to be happy, don't you think?  I love that sentiment.
And, I really love these chocolates from The Greetery's latest release called Confectionary. 
So many fine details that make them look real!


The chocolates are all colored with Copic markers.  
Some of my favorite color combinations for chocolate is:
E29, E25, E23
E57, E55, E53, E51
E87, E74, E71
E27, E57, E35, E31




I posted this to my Instagram a few days ago.  I love coloring chocolates!!

The sentiments are from All Kinds of Happy Stamp Set, All Kinds of Happy Dies and All Kinds of Happy Shadow Dies.

The chocolates are a set of dies only called Curio Confections Dies.  They are currently out of stock, so if you are interested, be sure to put your e-mail address on the Notify Me box for this product.

In the first card, I lined up the chocolates as they are.  For this card, I put the chocolates 'in the paper cups' and placed them up the side of the card.

Which do you like best -plain or with the colorful cups?
