More details on my blog Kath's Blog-Everyday Life Of A Crafter
I created place name cards for my Boxing Day Party table and began by die-cutting the base, nose and beard of the Lil Gnome from white card, the hat from Distress Mixed Media Heavystock coloured with Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress inks and the body from Idea-ology Classic Kraft Stock Metallic 2. I used a mini round blending tool to add Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the edge of the beard and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink to colour the nose. I assembled the gnomes, added stars die-cut from Idea-ology Classic Kraft Stock 1 using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Swirling Stars Thinlits and applied Ranger Glossy Accents to the noses.
I deconstructed 2 crackers which were surplus to requirements and trimmed the paper to create a panel for each place card.
I stamped the snowflakes from Simon Says Stamp Gnome For The Holidays stamp set from the December Card Kit inked with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Superfine White Embossing Powder.
I added Tim Holtz/Sizzix Adhesive Sheets to the back of white card, die-cut the letters I needed to create each name using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Alphanumeric Classic Lower Thinlits, peeled off the backing and fixed the letters in place. So much easier and less messy than fiddling around with dots of adhesive. I finished off by adding the gnomes popped up on Tim Holtz/Sizzix Mini Foam Adhesive to create dimension.
