Gnome Valentine

 Hello Friends

Time for a cute little Gnomie Valentine!  I am showing you how to get multiple uses out of your dies.  The gnomes are actually from an Easter release but with a few subtle changes you can use them for Valentines Day.  The dies are Bunny Gnome 1, 2 and 3.  I also used our Heart XO Windows Slimline and Valentine Phrase and More.

Design Steps:

1.  Folded pink card base measuring 8 3/4 x 3 3/4.  Use the Heart XO Windows Slimline and cut out a piece of heart DP as shown above

2.  Use the Bunny Gnome dies 1, 2, and 3 and cut out the following colors of card stock: red striped DP, Black polka dot DP, Teal checked DP, brown, black, pink, white and flesh.  Use the Valentine Phrase and More die and cut it out the phrase in red.  Assemble the gnomes with a fine tip glue as shown above

3.  Glue the Pink Heart DP to the front of the pink slimline card base.  Glue the Valentine sentiment to the middle heart at an angle as shown

4.  Add the gnomes to the card as shown above

5.  Using the Valentine Phrase and More die cut out a few hearts in red, teal and pink.  Add the hearts to the card along with some sequins and it is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Birthday Garden

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I am using one of our new slimline dies today and a variety of dies from our Springtime Release.  I have a number of birthdays coming up in the spring and summer months so I am getting a head start.

Design Steps:

1.  Begin by using a blue slimline card base and set aside.  Use the second from the largest Slimline Stitched Rectangle die and cut out 2 (one for the inside) using white card stock.  On the white rectangle for the front of the card use a blue ink and blender brush add some sky in the three spots as shown above

2.  Use the Victorian Fence die and cut out 3 pieces of fence on kraft card stock.  Using the Spring Grass die cut out 3 pieces of grass on green card stock.  Trim down the grass and fence then glue the grass to the bottom front of the fence.  Glue the fence bottom only to the card front in the area where you inked.  The reason you only glue down the bottom is so you can tuck in the flowers behind the fence

3.  Use the Spring Flower Pot, Bunny Gnome 1, Cat w/Spring Bird, Spring Bloom Cottage, Bird w/ Bluebells, Mouse w/Flower Cart for all of your garden pieces.  I used 2 shades of green, purple, yellow, pink, tan, gray, black and vellum

4.  Assemble your flowers, watering can, birds, and bees.  Glue the flowers behind the fence as shown.  After your flowers are tucked in glue the top part of the fence down.  Pop up the watering can, bunny and bird as shown.  Glue the bees in place as shown,  add little pearls to the inside of your flower then stamp and add your sentiment. Your card is complete

3.  The base is a white slimline size card.  Use the Stitched Wide Square Frame second from the largest cut out 6 frames.  Glue 2 frames together for a little more stability
