Merry Mischief Bundle Christmas Card with a Sweet Little Gnome

It’s time for a little Merry Mischief this week! I’m featuring the Merry Mischief Bundle from Stampin’ Up!, and oh my goodness, how cute is this little gnome holding a plate of cookies?! Between his festive Santa outfit and that adorable sentiment, this card is just too much fun!

I CASEd this card from Amy Koenders. I just love the playful gnome with the Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper. It’s such a fun combination for a handmade Christmas card!

I started with a Thick Basic White card base and brought in two patterns from the Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper. I adhered a 1-1/2″ strip of the red plaid pattern to a Basic White mat, then layered that onto the larger green polka dot pattern. Another Basic White mat helps everything stand out against the card base. I love how the red and green patterns work together without being too busy!

For the focal point, I die cut an arch from Peaceful Pine cardstock using the Everyday Arches Dies and popped it up on the card front. This gives our little gnome the perfect place to shine!

The gnome from the Merry Mischief Bundle was stamped in black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends in Cherry Cobbler, Petal Pink, Golden Glow, and Basic Black. Of course, we can’t forget those cookies! I colored them with Crumb Cake and the Deep Combo Pack (#200) Stampin’ Blends. I love how the coloring brings this sweet little Christmas character to life.

The sentiment, “May your Christmas be as sweet as a warm cookie,” is stamped onto Crumb Cake cardstock. Seriously, could there be a more perfect greeting for this card?! I finished everything off with a few of the new Pearl Faceted Dots for a little extra detail.

This Merry Mischief Christmas card is a great example of how mixing Designer Series Paper patterns, simple die cut shapes, and Stampin’ Blends coloring can create a card with tons of personality!

When mixing two busy Designer Series Paper patterns, try separating them with a thin layer of neutral cardstock. The Basic White mats on this card give each pattern a little breathing room and help the colors stand out. It’s such a simple trick, but it makes a big difference!

The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
