Leprechaun Gnome and His Gold

 Hello Friends 

I am making a few St Patrick's Day cards.  So again I am using some of the dies from my stash and repurposing them.  The dies I used for this card are Gnome Sleeping in Hammock, Warlock Gnome w/Cauldron (I just used the cauldron) and the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie (I used the Shamrock)


Design Steps:

1.  Using the Gnome Sleeping in the Hammock cut out the following colors of card stock: orange, green, tan, brown, flesh and a striped green and white DP.  Assemble with a fine tip glue


2.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of green card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (TIP:  I used the inside of the green piece for another project knowing it was going to be covered up away) Glue the green to the card base

3.  Use the largest Pierced Wide Retangle Frame and cut out a piece of kraft card stock.  Cut a piece of sky DP 4 x 5 1/4 and a piece of green card stock 1 x 5.  Glue the green to the bottom of the sky as shown.  Arrange the gnome on the DP

4.  Using the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie cut about 10 clover and glue to the grass.  Glue the frame around your scene

5.  Glue the framed scene to the card front.  Use the Warlock Gnome W/Cauldron and cut the cauldron in black card stock.  I used a 1/4 inch hole punch and cut out the gold.  Glue the black pot and the gold to the lower right corner add your sentiment and your card is complete

Birthday Bear

Hello Friends

I needed a birthday card for my nephew so I thought I would do a cute little shaker card. I used a variety of dies to create the card.  The balloons and presents are from Birthday Hedgehog, the bear from Campin Out Bear w/Banjo, the background Trellis and the sentiment from Gift Tag Topper.  


Designer Steps: 


1.  I made the shaker using a 2 inch clear circle cup from My Favorite Things.  You just fill the cup with shaker material and glue the the circular back onto the cup.  I then used the Gift Tag die and cut it out of black card stock.  I decided to cut out the little present in the center to show more the the shaker materials


2.   Cut an A2 card base out of white and then use the Trellis Background die and cut it out of black.  Then glue it onto the white card base.  Cut 3 dove tail banners in red DP various sizes and then glue to the upper left hand corner as shown

3.  Use the Campin Out Bear die and cut it out in black and gray.  Assemble the glue to card front.  Next cut out the balloons in blue and the strings in black using the Birthday Hedgehog die.  Assemble then glue to the bears hand as shown


4.  Using the Birthday hedgehog die cut out the packages in blue and black.  Assemble and glue to the card from.  Last add the shaker circle as shown and your card is complete

Sending Hugs Gnome

 Hello Friends

I just couldn't resist one more quick Gnome Valentine.  I had some really cute paper I wanted to use so I used a gnome from Spring Gnome Cottage die. I also used our Stitched Hearts Set.

Design Steps:
1.  Use an A2 white card base cut a piece of bright pink 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, and a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the pink to the white card base and the DP to the pink
2.  On DP paper cut out a heart second from the largest using the Stitched Heart Set.  Stamp the heart with your sentiment with black ink.  Using the Spring Gnome Cottage cut out the Gnome in white, teal, red, green, flesh and black paper.  Assemble the Gnome with a fine tip glue


3.  Glue the heart and gnome as shown above add a little rik rak to the top and bottom.  Place a rhinestone in the center of the flower and your card is complete
