To My Favorite Gnomie

Happy Saturday!  It's Jeanne today with a card for you and your favorite gnomie.  I love the new Slimline dies - they offer such fun options for card layout.  I've used dies from both Slimline and Spring release on this card.

To begin this card I cut the gnomes and flowers from white cardstock using the Bunny Gnome 1, Bunny Gnome 3, and Spring Bloom Cottage dies from the Spring release.  I used Distress Oxide ink to colors the images.

I cut the back panel using the largest of the Nested Rectangle dies and the scalloped panel using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies.

For the scene panels I cut two rectangles from white and a green pattern using the third largest of the Nested Rectangle dies, and a frame with the Windows die.

I made a stencil with the Cloud dies to ink the blended sky.  For my ground, I cut a gentle curve using the Hills dies on the green patterned paper. 

 I then assembled all the layers and stamped my sentiment in the center panel.

After all my panels were assembled I added my gnomes and a few 3D flowers.  A fun card to let friends know you care!

I hope you've enjoyed my card today!  Be sure to visit the online store where the Slimline dies are on sale right now for a limited time!  Slimline cards are really on trend and now is a great time time to add to your stock of basic dies!

Birthday Garden

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

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

I got a lot of use out of the Spring Release collection with different pieces from a variety of dies.  And I just love how it turned out.

A Lucky Few Have a Mom Like You!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm back with another card featuring the new Slimline dies. With Mother's Day right around the I decided to create a simple but elegant card.  The floral papers were definitely the inspiration for my card!

First, I cut out my card and 2 layers with the Rounded Rectangles Slimline die set.  All of the die cuts are from the Spring Bloom Cottage die set which has so many elements that can be used separately as I did on this card.  I used some card stock along with Oxide Inks to shade the pieces.  The 3 circles are from the Circle Set die set.

To create my card, I layered the rounded rectangles on my card base and then evenly spaced the circles directly on top.

The watering cans were affixed in the center of the top and bottom circles on my card.

Next, I adhered each of the smaller mushrooms to the larger mushroom and then placed them inside the middle circle.

I heat embossed the sentiment on a coordinating piece of card stock and adhered it under the set of mushrooms.

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

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a Spring card for you today. I combined this lovely cottage with different slimline dies.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Bloom Cottage, Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline, Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline, Grass Slimline, Clouds Slimline),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (9,5x22 cm),

- violet card stock for die cuts,

- white card stock for die cuts,

- silver pigment ink,

- black pigment ink,

- alphabet stamps,

- acrylic block,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored the cottage.

Next I did the background. I made a paper stencil with one of the clouds slimline dies and used it to make cloudy sky. I colored directly on the scalloped stitched rectangle. After the clouds I stamped the sentiment.

Then I cut and colored the grass out of the second largest nested stitched rectangle.

I also cut the largest nested stitched rectangle, this time from violet card stock.

 

 

When I had all the parts ready I finished my card. And this is the final result. 

Before I go I invite you to The Scrapping Cottage online store to check The National Scrapbook day Sale. 

And that's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week. 

Anja Z.
