A smaller size of this very popular paper set! 1 sheet each of 10 double-sided designs (each sheet is a different design). Plus the back sides of the front & back covers are 2 more designs!

Gnomes and Other Woodland Friends by Kristin Batsel
Happy 2020! Here are my first few projects of the new year, and they can definitely be described as “cute”, largely in part to the awesome wooden woodland cutouts I just got from Alpha Stamps. Some of the details are wood burned, so they’re super easy to paint if you get yourself a tiny brush.
I loved the way that little gnome fit perfectly into an old jewelry box. Using a background cut from scrapbook paper and some mushrooms I painted, I created a little world for him to live in.
(Psst! All 3 of those linked items are part of the New Year Gnomes Kit.)
Next, I painted the set of four gnomes (see below; and don’t fret: another batch of them is already en route.). I gave each of them a bright color and some fun polka dots and stripes. From the base to the tip of their hats, these little fellows are about 2″ tall.
They needed somewhere to be, so I cut out a background of black scrapbook paper and added a moon from a Cosmos Bark paper. The base of the gnomes was painted black and grey to blend in with the background. These little gnomes can stand on their own, so they may end up just living on my desk as is, but I might add them to the front of a book or box. No matter where they end up, I think they’re adorable.
Adorable indeed! See her full supply list here and read more (and see more photos) on Kristin’s blog post. (Psst: check below in the Giveaway section for another little woodland scene!)
