My son's girlfriend loves gnomes, so when I saw this Gnome with a Daisy from The Paper Shelter, I thought it the perfect digi to make a birthday card for her.
I made this diamond easel card using Bazzill cardstock for the base. The patterned paper is from a 6" x 6" Memory Box paper pad called Magnolia Grove.
I decided to include our optional twist of using an embossing folder, and used the Dotty Flourish 3D embossing folder from Creative Expressions, to create the backgroud for the happy gnome.
On the inside, I used three daisies to create the stopper for the card.
I made this card to be 5.5" by 5.5". It fits perfectly into a 5.75" square envelope.
Since I am going to hand deliver it, it won't be a problem for me, but I'm pretty sure that the bow will flatten when put in the mail. In order to avoid from it becoming completely flat, you can insert a couple of foam squares into each loop. I've tried this before and it fared well in the mail.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I would love to you see you play along with us. You have until noon, CST, on 10 September 2024, to link your project to our challenge.
Crafty hugs,
Sooo pretty, Lena xoxo
