Eyelet Outlet Gnome Brads and Girl Gnome Brads are the perfect couple for Valentines, Anniversary cards or any other happy occasion you can imagine. This punny compound sentiment is stamped, with the key word of "Gnome" in letters diecut from Gnome Mushroom Butterfly Washi. Bright Fresh Flowers, Hearts and Mini Butterfly Brads complete this happy little scene.
The theme this fortnight at Shopping Our Stash is Love, so we'd like you to make a love-themed project. Here's my card:
I've got LOTS of hearts and lots of color and lots of love, as befits the occasion of my (grown up) niece who was born on Valentine's Day. Being a scrap-saver, I had plenty of small patterned paper pieces from which I could diecut hearts, then handcut two layers of wonky squares to complete my grid design. Believe it or not, the most difficult part of this card was choosing a sentiment die of the right size and shape, then finding a shade of cardstock that stood out well enough on top of All. That. Color!
SOS566: Love Me Do runs until the evening of Monday, February 12th.
I used some gloriously colorful Dina Wakley Collage Sparks from Ranger to create the first few rounds of my mandala (I diecut them into small circles and hearts) then added Fineliner and Posca petals. I cut away the edges of the page after the last round and added a large Collage Spark to the next page as a background. Finished off with a Typed Ledger sentiment attached with a staple.
Speaking of lining up... when I started to assemble the card the design panel was centered on the lacy diecut mat, and the whole thing neatly lined up in the center of my 5.5" square card. Then I accidentally bumped my table and everything slid a bit. Recognizing a Bob-Ross-style "happy accident" when I see one, I attached the layers crookedly, instead!
If, like me, you're in the path of the massive snowstorm brewing up here in the Mid-Atlantic region, I wish you a sturdy shovel, a strong back and accumulations lower than expected!
It's week two of our "Something Old... Something New" prompt at Jingle Belles and we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are. Just a reminder that we'd like to see holiday cards on which you combine an item or two that you've had in your craft stash for a bit; with something new that you received for the holidays... or shopped for yourself!
JB2602: Something Old... Something New runs until the evening of Wednesday, January 28th. Hop over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and start planning what you'll link up with us this time!

That issue is solved by this pre-packaged kit, which features everything you need (except adhesive) to complete five copies of this original design. Also included are complete written instructions (not pictured, but included!) and a nice big photo for reference.
This kit contains everything you see here PLUS complete written instructions. Visit the “Very Very MERRY” page in the Paper Anthology Etsy Shop.
Nothing puts more HAPPY into "Happy Valentine's Day" than a bunch of Eyelet Outlet Hippo Brads dancing joyously across a card! Some pink Heart Brads and a mat of Pink Dot Washi Tape add a touch of seasonal color to the design.
