Coffee Gnomes

Good morning and welcome to my blog!

Today I am up on the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's blog and I have some holiday themed

caffeinated inspiration to share with you in my ICU!

Today in the "Intensive Coffee Unit" I have a pair of tags with some

Coffee Drinking Gnomes!

This Simon Says Stamp Gnome Wafer Die is just too cute and I know the second

I put that cute little gnome together he/she needed a coffee cup to go with!

The Karen Burniston Coffee Charms Dies were the perfect size to pair with this

gnome die cut and I distressed them with some Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink.

I started out with some Simon Says Stamp Stitched Dress Up Tags and die cut

them from some Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock.

To give these tags a fun background I used the Echo Park Shine on Stars Stencil

and taped it down to the tag with some Therm O Web Purple Tape.

Next I sponged over the stencil with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on

one tag and Picket Fence Distress Oxide Ink on the other.

While the stencil was still in place over the tags I also layered on some

Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel to add some holiday sparkle!

For the sentiments on my tags I used stamps and dies from the

Simon Says Stamp Clean Line Christmas Stamps and Dies.

I used vellum to stamp on so that the background would show through.

I love how the dies cut out the exact shapes of the sentiments, it such a clean look.

I will be entering my tags in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags put on
by Tracey McNeely each year.
I was inspired by Becca Yahrling's tag this year.
I love how she made a white patterned background on her kraft tag,
so I recreated that look on my tags here today.
Have a look, so cute!
