Gnome Birthday

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

We have a HUGE SLIMLINE DIE RELEASE with 20 fantastic dies.  The dies are at a savings of 25% off right now in the store.  The new designs are just so amazing.  They are sure to put your imagination into overdrive!!  Check them out right HERE.

I am using the Whimsical Heart Slimline today!  I have 8 birthdays in September so I am getting a jump start with this cute little gnome birthday card!

Design Steps:

1.  Use a white slimline card base and cut the background in white using the Whimsical Heart Slimline die

2.  Glue the heart panel to the white card base

3.  Using the Flower Power Tomte die cut out all the pieces in: green, tan, white, blue, yellow and dark brown.  Shade the pieces then assemble the Gnome

4.  Cut out the balloons using yellow, red and blue card stock.  Tie a white string to each balloon

5.  Pop dot the gnome and balloons to the front of the card.  Stamp and layer the sentiment then pop it just under the gnomes feet.  Add a few sequins and your card is complete

Mr. Bear

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

As we enter the first few weeks of summer it is fun to see all of the plants and flowers in full bloom.  That also brings the honey bee.  We have some fruit trees in the backyard and they still have a few blooms and the little bees love them! That is my inspiration for this card!

Design Steps:

 1.  Cut the pieces out of a variety of colored card stock using the Garden Bear, Potted Plants, Flower Power Tomte and Potting Shed dies.  Shade the pieces and assemble with a fine tip glue

 2.  Use a piece of white card stock 3 3/4 x 5 and shade in some blue ink for the sky

 3.  Glue your pieces onto the blue shaded background

4.  I decided I need a bit of green at the bottom to ground my scene so I added it using a blender brush just as I did the sky.  Next layer onto a piece of black card stock

5.  I then added the extra pots and the little sign to complete the scene

6. Here is a good trick if you don't have any paper to match your scene.  I used the same ink that I colored the flowers with and brushed it onto the edges of a piece of white card stock 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue the edged panel to a white A2 card

7.  Mount the bear panel to the purple edged panel.  Stamp Hello to the little sign, add sparkle to the bees wings and black dots to the flower centers and your card is complete

Design Steps:

1.  Cut all of the pieces using the Flower Power Tomte die.  I used yellow, green, blue and white card stock

2.  Using a variety of inks shade the pieces and then assemble using a fine tip glue

3.  Use an A2 white card base cut a piece of green 4 x 5 1/4 and DP 3 3/4 x 5.  Use the 4th from the largest Pierced Oval die to cut out a white oval.  Use the 2nd from the largest Stitched Scallop Oval die to cut out a green oval

4.  With the pieced oval die in place shade in the opening with a light blue.  Also stamp your sentiment on yellow and layer onto green

5.  Glue the DP to the green card stock then add the ribbon tying a knot in the center.  I use a glue dot to keep the knot in place

6.  Glue the ribbon panel to the front of the A2 white card base.  Add the green oval and then the shaded blue oval

7.  Place pop dots to the back of the little Tomte and add him to the oval on the front

8.  For the inside I used the Happy expressions die to cut out a yellow and green happy. Glued them together slightly off center then placed inside card.  Add the Birthday sentiment and the strip of DP to the bottom with the little flowers.  To finish I added some rhinestones to the front and inside
