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

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Blessings and Take Care

Relaxing Father's Day

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

Just like Mother's Day snuck up on us so will Father's Day!  I am getting a little head start with this fun little gnome just relaxing in his hammock perfect for a Father's Day card!

Design Steps:

1.  Start with a white slimline base use a cloud stencil and blue ink to create the sky

2.  Using the Grass Slimline die cut out all three designs in green card stock

3.  Glue the grass to the card base starting at the bottom only putting glue at the very bottom of the grass.  Next slip in the next layer of grass again only putting glue on the bottom of the grass.  Lastly slip the third layer of grass behind the second layer again only putting glue on the bottom of the grass.  You will add glue to the layers after you slip in the little gnome and the letters

4.  Using the Gnome Sleeping in Hammock die cut out all of the pieces in navy, brown, orange, green, kraft, white, tan and orange polka dot DP.  Shade the pieces using a variety of inks and a small applicator

5.  Using the Stitched Alphabet die cut out the work relax in white and orange polka dot DP.  Glue the DP to the white letters and then ink the edges with orange ink.  Assemble the gnome and slip him in the grass as shown.  Next slip in the letters as shown

 

6.  The last step is to cut out 5 orange flowers using the Gnome Sleeping in a Hammock die and gluing them to the card front as shown.  I added some little orange sequin flowers on top of the cardstock flowers for a little dimension and shine
