Live Life in Full Bloom

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have cheerful card to share for my design team post. My card showcases the new Gardening dies which include such cute characters with a happy vibe!

I selected the Gardening Mouse and the Garden Phrases for the focal point of my card.  All of the pieces were cut with card stock and inked on the edges for some dimension.

I created a simple background for my card using a cloud stencil with some ink.  I only used one ink color however created an ombre effect. The puffy clouds make for a fun card base.

Once I had my background completed, I added the dirt mound and adhered the garden sign by tucking it into the mound at a angle.

The mouse was adhered to fit perfectly under the sign.  Next I added the rake in his hand creating the whimsical gardening scene.

The final die cut was the small gardening tool added to the dirt mound.  It fit perfectly between the sign and the adorable mouse.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

New Release!! Gardening Mouse!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam sharing with you on the blog this fine Thursday!

It is new release time again!  This collection is so fantastic for spring through summer and especially wonderful for those who love to garden.  Check it out in the online store because right now it is being featured with a FABULOUS discount!!

I am using the Gardening Mouse and it is just the cutest mouse ever!!

Design Steps:

 1.  Cut out all of the pieces using the Gardening Mouse die.  The colors of card stock I used where gray, brown, pink, green and metallic silver

 2.  Shade the pieces with a variety of inks and then assemble using a fine tip glue

 3.  Use a white A2 card base, cut a piece of light orange slightly smaller then the card base, and a piece of DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Using the Victorian Fence die cut out a white fence.  Using the second from the largest Pierced Rectangle die cut out a red rectangle and then layer it onto light orange card stock

4.  Glue the orange to the card base and then glue down the DP

 4.  Glue the garden base to the bottom of the red rectangle leaving the top of the garden base unglued so you can then slip the white fence behind it

5.  Pop up the mouse into the garden and then pop up the little shovel.  Add the sentiment and your card is complete
