Please forgive the lateness of this post, but we had an awesome thunderstorm this morning which actually blew out my modem/gateway and I had no internet. After much research and contacting my service provider, I ran to the store before they closed and switched my old modem/gateway for a brand new one and now I am up and running!
Today I am showing off two fun cards I created using the new Spellbinders Gnome for Christmas Collection. If you love gnomes, this is the collection for you! I especially like the Holly Jolly ornament with the gnome sitting on top as the ornament swings back and forth on the front of the card. I really love interactive cards, as I think they are such a nice surprise for the recipient! Don't forget to check back tomorrow as I show you two more cards from this collection. As always all the products used are listed below.
This first card, as I said is probably my favorite. I started with an A2 card base and added a mat of green glitter paper then a beautiful brushed gold with mirror gold "Merry Christmas" All over it for the background paper. I cut the ornament part of the bow and the red on the gnome all with glitter paper. I attached the ornament with a small foam square and then popped up the bow so that the ornament swings free. Makes for a super cute card. Here are some photos.

The second card is a tree of gnomes which I also did in all glitter paper. Again I started with an A2 base card to which I added a mat of turquoise glitter paper and then a background of white on white snowflake paper. It is hard to see in the photo. I tried to use all the colors of glitter paper I had in my stash. Then I created the lights/ornament string with regular cardstock and then added glossy accents to make them shiny. For a sentiment I hot foiled it from the Glitter Wishes glimmer plates and gold foil. It was then cut out and popped up onto the gnomes. I think it turned out so cute! Here is a photo.
It really makes for a cute, fun, glittery Christmas card.
