Work Hard and Be Awesome!

Hi friends!  I am so excited to be sharing my first project from using products from the brand new collection from Keep It Simple Paper Crafts - Chore Gnomes!  If you are like me and hate housework, this collection is MADE FOR YOU!  It is full of adorable stamps, dies, papers and die-cut embellishments. 

To create this fun card, I started with one of the patterned papers from the Chore Gnomes 6x6 Paper Pack.  I chose to stick with primary colors, so I die-cut a piece of yellow card stock using the Envelope Edger Dies from Whimsy Stamps.  I inked the edges of both with navy ink and I adhered them to a panel of navy cardstock. 

I wrapped the panel in navy twine and tied a loppy bow, attaching the tag at the same time.  I die-cut a two circles - one stitched circle from white cardstock and a scalloped circle from red cardstock and adhered them together.  I popped the cute little vaccuuming gnome from the Chore Gnomes Die-Cut Pieces up on foam squares. 

I stamped the sentiment in navy ink and I die-cut it using the Tasteful Labels Die from Stampin' Up.  I also die-cut the same label twice each from yellow and red, so that I could back the sentiment panel with two of each color and then I popped it up on the card front with foam squares.  To finish, I added some Dew Drops. 

I am absolutely in love with this collection and I hope you are too!  Make sure to head over to Keep It Simple Paper Crafts and check out the Chore Gnomes collection and all of the other amazing products in the shop.  Also, come join us in the Keep It Simple Paper - Inspiration Group on Facebook.  The Design Team will be sharing their amazing projects throughout the week!
