Celebrate

  Hello Sweet Friends!  Sheri here today with a fun birthday card featuring the NEW Birthday Gnome digi along with Texture Tiles 8 and Make A Wish stamp sets.

***THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO YOU***

I had a little fun with this one. I like to challenge myself to try new layouts and thought a window would be fun for the Birthday Gnome Digital image to peek out of.

1. Stamp multi-sized polka dots from the Texture Tiles 8 set down the left side of your card panel in orange ink to create a border.

2. Stamp sentiment from the Make A Wish stamp set at the bottom of the panel in blue ink.

3. Create Window in Blue Card Stock. I used a 2 5/8" Square die & 2 1/8" Square die to create this.

4. Print out Birthday Gnome Digital Stamp at 3 1/2", color with your favorite coloring medium (I used copic markers), and then fussy cut him.

5. I popped up my window frame with foam tape (except for the bottom so I could slip the Gnome under). I then added foam tape to the Gnome and slipped him under the frame. His balloons, Hat and sign with be sitting on top of the frame.

6. I attached the white panel to a blue top fold card base. I also added a white piece of card stock to the inside to make it easier to see your message to the recipient.

Card Measurements:

Blue A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")

White Panel: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"

Blue Window: 2 5/8" Square (Outside), 2 1/8" Square (Inside)

White Panel (Inside): 4" x 5 1/4"

Part of our celebration is a different sale each week during November. Our Week 2 sale is a fabulous 20% off products in our Backgrounds and Creative Worship Stamps categories! Sale ends Thursday, Nov. 19, so hurry in to grab some deals!

I used the new A Little Snarky set for the sentiment, then paired it with Encouraging Peonies, and the Faith Wordfetti, Just Say Jesus, and Your Story Creative Worship sets.

Let's take a little look-see at the November release...

Please note you MUST add this set to your cart to receive the discount. Once your order qualifies, the discount will apply to the set in your shopping cart.

Guest designer Lieschen Harshbarger brings on the happy with this fabulous slimline shaker card featuring Bold Birthdays.

Who loves polka dots? We've got a FABULOUS new texture tiles set this month. Swiss dots, polka dots, random dots, big dots, small dots... you'll be seeing spots with this awesome Texture Tiles 8 repeatable background set!

Korin puts the swiss dots from Texture Tiles 8 in the spotlight, paired with the new Make a Wish set. She shared this card on her NEW blog. Be sure to check out her AMAZING birthday giveaway. Seriously, you don't want to miss out on this! Go ahead hop on over, just be sure to come back and hop along with us! 😄

Make a Wish is the next set in our spotlight. The bold fonts  in this extremely versatile birthday set are perfect for both masculine and feminine cards. And the traditional birthday accoutrements like cake, cupcakes, party hats, and candles are so much fun!

I went for a clean mini slimline with lots of white space, wanting to make the fun images and sentiments in Make a Wish take center stage. Love the fun stamp that can be either sprinkles or confetti! I added a little dimension to the hat by curving the paper with my finger, then adding foam tape to the center and then gluing the sides down securely so it stayed rounded.

For our 13th birthday, we thought we'd bring a little bit more sassy to Sweet 'n Sassy with the A Little Snarky set. After all, SNSS is a teenager now! These humorous sentiments are sure to bring a smile.

Janelle brought this set to life with a set of little encouragement cards sure to bring a smile. So clever to use the A Little Snarky hangry sentiment with our Donut Worry set. She also used Grunge Elements 2 on one of the cards.

Our next spotlight set coordinates perfectly with the A Little Snarky set. Humorous Birthday Innies are funny little sentiments perfect for the inside or outside of your cards!

I created a fun slimline birthday card pairing the Humorous Birthday Innies with the new Birthday Gnome DIGI. These sentiments totally make me smile.

Our Creative Worship set this month is sure to light up your studio! Shine Your Light has fabulous encouraging sentiments and lovely lights of all kinds like lanterns, candles, fireflies, and light bulbs. Such a fun set!

Deeds created these gorgeous bookmarks with Shine Your Light. Wouldn't they make the perfect DIY gift for a reader in your life?

That's our November Release in a nutshell! So many fabulous sets to choose from! What's your favorite? Let us know in the comments.
