Gnome Talkie before Coffee

Exciting news! Colorful Options  and Park Hopping My Happy Place will be teaming up for a fun May 2025 Collaboration!

For this challenge, we’re asking you to choose a color (or colors) from the inspiration photo and make it the star of your creation but if a different shade from the photo speaks to you — go with it!

There’s no wrong way to be inspired, so let your creativity guide you and most importantly… have fun! 

My card features the adorable Jaded Blossom Gnome Brewed Stamp Set, and I paired it with the playful Kat Scrappiness Coffee Quokka Paper Pad for a fun, caffeinated twist!

I started by stamping the adorable images from the Jaded Blossom Gnome Brewed Stamp Set and colored them with Copic Markers. I then fussy cut them out.

For the background, I trimmed a fun patterned paper of coffee mugs from Kat Scrappiness Coffee Quokka Paper Pad to fit an A2 size panel. To make the design a little more interesting, I flipped the paper to showcase both sides of the paper pad — creating a fun, coordinated look that really brought the card together.

I then cut a stitched circle from white cardstock and place it in the center of the panel. The contrast between the clean, white circle and the busy background made the perfect frame for the images. I adhered the images on top using foam tapeto give them added dimension and a bit of lift.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Gnome Brewed Stamp Set, then used a sentiment strip die to cut it out. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape as well, ensuring everything was cohesive and had that extra dimension to make it stand out.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day filled with creativity and joy!
