Merry Mischief Bundle Christmas Card with a Gift-Giving Gnome

I’m back with another adorable Christmas card featuring the Merry Mischief Bundle from Stampin’ Up! These little gnomes are just too cute, and today’s card features one carrying a Christmas present. I mean, who wouldn’t want this little guy delivering their gifts?!

For this card, I paired the Merry Mischief Bundle with the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper, some fun die cut details, and a little trick to make those jingle bells shine!

I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and layered a pretty plaid pattern from the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper onto a Basic White mat. I love the classic Christmas colors in this paper! The Cherry Cobbler and green tones make the perfect background for our festive little gnome.

For the focal point, I adhered a Cherry Cobbler square to the card front, then added a Basic White square die cut using the Tile Garden Dies. Can we talk about those detailed edges?! I love how the decorative border adds a little something extra without taking attention away from the gnome.

The gnome from the Merry Mischief Bundle was stamped in black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in Peaceful Pine, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Golden Glow, Deep Combo (#200), Basic Black, and Cherry Cobbler. I love how all those colors work together to bring this little guy and his present to life! I also added a couple of die cut presents using Peaceful Pine cardstock with Crumb Cake bows. They’re such a fun little detail tucked beside the gnome!

And those golden jingle bells on the stamped present? They’re die cut from Golden Glow cardstock, but I wanted them to have a little extra shine. Before die cutting, I added a piece of clear packaging tape to the cardstock. It gives the bells a glossy finish without needing any special supplies. Such a fun little trick!

For the sentiment, I stamped “Merry Christmas” onto Basic White cardstock and layered it over a strip of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I stamped the Cherry Cobbler strip repeatedly with a dotted image in matching ink to create a subtle tone-on-tone pattern.

A few Radiant Gems finished off this handmade Christmas card with just the right amount of sparkle!

Want to give your die cut pieces a glossy finish without adding extra bulk? Try applying clear packaging tape to your cardstock before running it through your die cutting machine! It’s a fun way to add shine to small details like these jingle bells, and you probably already have everything you need at home.
