Divine DSP ~ Control Freaks Blog Hop

 

Hi friends! Welcome to November's Control Freaks Blog Hop!  This month we are diving in to all of the Divine DSP in our stash.  Did you just come from Melissa's devine project or are you just starting?  Either way, be sure to hop along and see what we all have in store for you today.

I always love a DSP that can steal the show all on it's own!  Storybook Gnomes DSP is one of my favorites from the July-December Mini Catalog.  In addition to all of the cute gnomes, the forest critters are absolutely adorable!

I fussy cut a few of these forest friends and paired them up with another fabulous print from the pack of DSP to create a cozy little winter wonderland.

The only stamping was the sweet little sentiment.  How awesome is it to have the DSP be the highlight of the card?!?

Keep on hopping to the next stop to see what my dear friend Wendy Weixler has done with her DSP!

Happy Stamping!

Gnomest Warm Wishes ~ Monday Montage Blog Hop

Welcome to our Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Did you just arrive from the talented Wendy of Wickedly Wonderful Creations or are you just getting started?  Either way, make sure you hop all the way through!

We have yet to even seen some summer weather, so it's kind of hard to think about creating for Christmas.  But these adorable Kindest Gnomes makes it much easier.  I'm not really for full on Christmas, but a cute wintery scene will work!

I love the stamped images that you can color in this stamp set, but the coordinating dies that help build a gnome are pretty darn cute!

I used my Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends to create a watercolor effect for the gnomes hat. I love the blended look of the trees in the Storybook Gnomes DSP and wanted to create something similar for the hat.

This festive little guy comes together in a hurry with his beard, shoes and nose...along with the hat of course.  I tucked a Wonderful Snowflake behind a piece of cecum to soften things up a bit.  A simple embossed sentiment and a fussy cut tree were all that were needed to complete this card.  I can't wait to showcase this card in my Christmas in July class!

Next up is the happy camper, Cathy of Sugar Shack Designs.  You're going to love what she made!

Happy Stamping!
