SAME SET SYDROME FEATURING KAT SCRAPPINESS

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Handmade Happiness Facebook Page Same Set Syndrome blog hop. You should be coming from Charlotte E (Lady Joyful) if you want to check her Youtube channel out you can click here. Your NEXT stop is over on Instagram with Valerie Powell.

This collaboration is a series of hops that will be for six months featuring small stamp companies. This month Kat Scrappiness is the Hostess for the hop. One lucky person who comments on the hop will win a $20 gift card to the Kat Scrappiness store. Winner will be announced on October 10th on the Handmade Happiness Facebook Page.

Here are my cards for your inspiration.  I am using the Kat Scrappiness Christmas Gnome set.  I may have gotten a little carried away, I loved each image, so I made three cards.  Kat Scrappiness has a wide range of sequins, so I couldn't resist making some shaker cards.  Enjoy!  

My first card is a shaker card, I used the Photo Play paper for my background.  I stamped and cut out the gnome image and colored it with Copics.

My next card I used the Photo Play paper for my background.  I stamped and cut out the gnome image and colored it with Copics.  I die cut a two circles and added them to the card, stamped the sentiment and added the gnome with foam tape.  

My last card is also a shaker card, I used the Photo Play paper for my background.  I stamped and cut out the gnome image and colored it with Copics.

I hope you have been inspired, thank you so much for stopping by, don't forget your next stop is Valerie Powell Instagram page.
