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! 

Blessings and Take Care

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

We have a new release that are complete must haves for your basic die collection.  It is a Slimline group with 9 different designs.  They are 25% off right now so don't miss out on this great addition to your essential must have dies.

My card today is a thank you for a special friend!  She loves being outdoors so I thought this card was perfect for her!

Design Steps:

1.  Use a Kraft slimline card base cut the front flap of the card in half and set aside.  Cut another piece of Kraft card stock 3 1/2 by 8 1/2.  Cut a tree designer piece of paper 6 x 3 1/2 and a green checked piece 3 1/2 x 2 1/2.

Glue the tree paper to the top of the piece of kraft card stock and the green checked to the bottom of the kraft card stock.  Use your Hills Slimline die (the one with one hill) cut the kraft card stock with the designer paper glued to it

2.  Get out your card base and glue the cut design paper to the front of the cards small flap

3.  Using the largest Stitched Rectangle Slimline die cut a piece of light blue card stock and glue it to the inside of the card

4.  Cut 2 Kraft circles using the Scalloped Stitched Circle die 3rd from the largest.  (one for the inside of the card and one for the front). Using the Spring Tea Party die cut out the fox using rust, black and cream card stock for the raccoon use black, grey and white card stock

5.  Using the Sloth die cut out the leaves using two shades of green.  Cut out the little sign using brown and the Bunny Gnome 3 die.  Before assembling the fox and raccoon shade with a variety of inks and then glue together

6.  For the front of the card glue down the circle leaving the edges without glue so you can tuck in the leaves.  Stamp the Thanks So Much onto the sign and edge with ink.  Pop up the fox and his sign with dimensional 

7.  For the inside glue a 1 x 6 inch strip of tree paper and right under it glue a 1 x 2 1/4 in strip of green checked.  Glue down your scalloped circle making sure it lines up with the front circle so it won't show when closed.  Stamp your sentiment and glue down the leaves and little raccoon
