I’ll be Gnome for Christmas Holiday Workshop…  

For the last several years, I’ve hosted a Holiday Crafting Workshop.

Because I was feeling a little Gnomish this year, I went with a Gnome theme.

We made Gnome themed cards and Holiday Decorations.

It was so much fun planning the projects and decorations.

(If you would like to learn more about the Holiday Workshop click here.)

Personalized Gnome Themed Gift Bags

When hosting a party or event, you need a few gift/loot bags to match the theme.

I created these Gnome themed gift bags using a

Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*

and StyleTechCraft Adhesive Vinyl*.

The bags held everything they would need to make the projects.

The Gnome SVG Cut files came from The Silhouette Store.

Keeping with the theme and making a statement!

We made matching Aprons using Heat Transfer Vinyl from StyleTechCraft*.

Using Heat Transfer Vinyl…

It was my first time using HTV vinyl*, and I was pleasantly pleased

with how easy it was. I used a regular iron to press the vinyl

onto the Black Aprons* found on Amazon*.

Gnome Christmas Cookies

No Holiday Gathering would be complete without a few Christmas Cookies.

I found this cute Gnome Cookie Stamp at Homegoods and couldn’t resist.

The Gnome Cookies turned out adorable and tasted so good.

Are you looking for a yummy Christmas Cookie Recipe? 

Here’s the recipe my mom gave me as a new bride many years ago.

I have made them every year since. (A Family Favorite!)

Enjoy!

SUE’S FAVORITE SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

  • 1- 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 c. butter or margarine
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2- 1/2 c. all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  1. Cream sugar & butter, add egg & flavoring, mix thoroughly.
  2. Sift dry ingredients together and stir in.  (I dump)
  3. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
  4. Heat oven to 375°.
  5. Divide dough in half & roll out on lightly floured pastry sheet.
  6. Roll thin, but thick enough to pick up the design with the cookie cutters.
  7. Dip cookie cutter into flour before each cutting.  Cut as many cookies from each rolling as possible.  The least amount of working with the dough gives the best cookie.
  8. Place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake 7 to 8 min. or until delicately golden.
  • For the Glaze I dump around a cup of powdered sugar into a bowl.  Add a dash of vanilla.    Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you want.  (hint:  not too runny)

Gnome for the Holidays

Leave a comment

The Holiday Season isn’t even here yet, and Gnomes are popping up in stores everywhere.

That’s a good thing for me because I think they’re adorable.

I especially love the Holiday Gnomes.

Did you know that Gnomes are considered good luck?

The way things have been going this year, I’m going to need a lot more gnomes.

Have you tried making Gnomes yet?

I haven’t made any Gnomes yet myself, but it’s on my Holiday to-do list this year.

I thought this “Gnome for the Holidays” sign would look perfect with the two I already have.

I used StyleTechCraft metallic luster vinyl for a fun shimmery, metallic Holiday Decoration.

Directions:

  • Cut a piece of coordinating holiday scrapbook paper to fit inside of the frame.
  • Use the “Gnome for the Holidays” SVG cut file and the Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to cut the pieces out of vinyl.
  • Use the vinyl pick tool to remove the excess vinyl from inside and around the letters and shapes.
  • Cut a piece of Vinyl Transfer Tape* to fit over the vinyl words.  Gently rub over the transfer paper using the squeegee tool.  Remove the vinyl from the white liner.
  • Using the transfer tape, line up the vinyl words onto the scrapbook paper.

  • Gently rub over the Vinyl Transfer Tape* to make sure all the image has transferred.   Remove the transfer tape.
  • Continue adding the vinyl layers that make up the Gnome.
  • Add into a fun red metallic frame and enjoy it.
