Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge: Freshly Picked Gnomes


I decided to incorporate the Father's Day gift for my stepfather, Chuck, with the BBTB2 Challenge. This is my first time participating in one of their challenges.

Chuck likes garden gnomes, for Christmas I bought him a Boston Red Sox gnome! I cut the gnome 3 at 8 inches and cut each layer twice. The layers are sandwiched with foam tape. I did cheat a little, as I don't have Design Studio software and only a small piece of the gold paper, I used the smallest square Nestability to make his belt buckle. I ran the gnome's beard through my BIGkick with the Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder. A few red pearls were added for added dimension.


For the gift bag, I adhered some "masculine" designer paper, some jute twine and few wooden buttons. Using some Scrabble tiles, I spelled out Chuck's name. For the card/gift card holder, I added a small pocket on the inside. You could put some cash or a gift card inside.


Supplies:
Paper: Bazzill, Recollections, October Afternoon, Creative Imaginations
Cricut: Freshly Picked
Misc: Half red pearls, foam tape, gift bag, scor-pal, tissue paper, scrabble tiles, cuttlebug swirls embossing folder, buttons, jute twine

Thanks for stopping by,
