Polka Dot Orchards: FROM OUR GNOME TO YOURS and CAROLING GNOMES

Hi everyone! I'm back again today to share a Christmas in July card featuring two digi sets from Polka Dot Orchard. The gnome background digi stamp is part of the From Our Gnome To Yours Digi Set. I used Adobe Photoshop Elements to color in the background so I could create my own digital paper. I love that about digis! You can color them in with different mediums including digitally.

 

 

The awesome sentiment is from the Caroling Gnomes Digi Set. I used a scallop circle die from Jaded Blossom and a regular circle die to create the red, scallop frame to go around the sentiment. To finish off the card, I added ribbon from my stash and then raised the circle sentiment on foam tape for more dimension.

 

 

Be sure to head over to the Polka Dot Orchard Store to snag your faves.

Since this month's release was all about coffee, I decided to combine the coffee theme with the Red, White, and Blue Challenge. I used this adorable gal from the set called JAVA TIME. Isn't she CUTE?!  

The best part is that this set is 40% off right now during the JULY CELEBRATION SALE (7/10-7/25)!!

I recently ordered some Jaded Blossom dies, and one of my new favorites is the COFFEE SLIDER DIE. It makes the perfect gift card holder for your coffee loving friends. It's also part of the sale and is 20% off!! To create the coffee bean background I used the new COFFEE BEAN STENCIL (hurry, only 2 of these left in the store) with Broken China and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks. The patterned red, white and blue paper is from Doodlebug Design Land That I Love 6x6 Paper Pad. The "Hope Your Birthday is Grande" sentiment came from the new FRAPPE BIRTHDAY CLEAR STAMP SET.

 

 

Here you can see how the top of it slides out to show the gift card. I raised the Java girl and sentiment on foam tape for extra dimension. 

 

 

 We hope you come play along with us! For more inspiration head over to the Jaded Blossom Blog! And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes.
