Gnome Hot Chocolate Stocking Stuffer

Need a last minute stocking stuffer? I saw these adorable Gourmet Village Hot Chocolate packets with gnomes on them! I just had to create something with our Kindest Gnomes Bundle!


The base is Poppy Parade cut at 4" x 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/4" and folded up from the bottom. I trimmed the edges with our Glitter Washi Tape in black, and used Tear & Tape to adhere the pocket on both sides.


The DSP layer is from the Gingham Cottage 12" x 12" pack. The gnome is put together from the Gnomes Dies in Basic White, Poppy Parade, Petal Pink and Santa Express 12" x 12" DSP for the hat.


The Smoky Slate Circle and the Basic White Snowflake are cut using the Celebrations Tag Dies, and the small Basic White Circle was cut using Stylish Shapes Dies. The sentiment is from our Vintage Christmas Stamp Set and is stamped in Basic Gray. I added some Wink of Stella to the snowflake. Enjoy!

Coast to Coast Blog Hop - By The Bay Simple Stamping


 Welcome to our December blog hop! This month's theme is Simple Stamping using only stamps, ink, paper and Designer Series Paper (or ribbon or an embellishment). Check out #simplestamping on Facebook for more ideas and be sure to hop around to my talented teammates' blogs below!

I decided to give you a sneak peek at the By The Bay Suite coming on January 5th in the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalogue!


This is simpler than it looks! I started with a Crumb Cake card base and this paper from the By The Bay 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper.


All I did was tear a strip approximately 2" between the top tear and the bottom tear. I then trimmed this piece to 5 1/2" wide.


I stamped the small shells/dots (from the Seaside Bay stamp set) in Crumb Cake and the dots in Balmy Blue directly on the DSP strip. I also stamped some dots in Crumb Cake on the card base as shown.


I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake on the bottom right of the card base and then glued the DSP strip to the base. That's it! Simple!

Enjoy the rest of the hop!
