Christmas Gnome

I made a Christmas card with the adorable new Simon Says Stamp Deco Hat Gnome die and one of the new CZ Design sentiment stamps from the new Simon Make Merry release...

I first embossed the gnome on a piece of cardstock.  This way, I had a base with all the indents of pieces.  This die comes with a background die, but I didn't really want a background for this guy. I hand cut the embossed image with my scissors,  then ran my adhesive all over the cut out paper. I die cut the gnome twice with white cardstock, then added all the die cut pieces onto the cut out gnome with adhesive, putting more adhesive between each layer.   I then die cut the gnome in two different colors of green and red paint chips.  I used all those pieces to the top layer of die cut adhered gnomes.  This top layer also had adhesive all over it, like the first and second layers.  I used my Tombow runner.  His outfit was made with strips of the four colors adhered together and then die cut.  I cut the"HO HO HO" sentiment with my scissors and using my MISTI, I arranged them below one another, stamped, and then embossed the words onto a piece of card stock.  I used glitter embossing paste and a stencil that came out in the Simon STAMPtember® release, last month, that had a die cut oval cut out in the middle (the die also die from STAMPtember® release).  I layered the glittered panel and adhered to a card.  Here's a close up... 

There are lots of little pieces to this die( use a pick up stick...I've listed it below...so easy!), but so stinkin' cute!!
