Here is my card using the new release die Strawberry Gnome Girl!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut all the pieces using the Strawberry Gnome Girl die and the following colors of card stock: green, blue, black, tan, red, and white

2.  Shade the hands and nose with a pink ink and a small applicator.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip, fast drying glue

3.  Use an A2 white card stock base and cut a piece of black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, cut checked black and white DP 4 x 5 1/4 and finally use the second from the largest Scalloped Rectangle die cut on white.  Stamp the sentiment in black ink on the white rectangle as shown above

4.  Glue the black card stock to the white base, glue the checked DP to the black.  Wrap the scalloped rectangle with black and white twine and glue dot a bow to the twine just slightly off center as shown above.  Pop the whole rectangle onto the center of the card front.  Pop dot the little gnome to the card as shown and then add a few black pearls and some yellow Stickles to the center of the flowers

5.  I decided to add a little decoration to the inside of the card.  Cut a piece of black card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, piece of white 4 x 5 1/4 and a strip of checked DP 4 x 1.  Cut the vine using the Strawberry die and white, green and red card stock. Assemble the vine 

6.  Glue the black card stock inside of the card.  Stamp the sentiment to the white card stock as shown. Then glue the white on top of the black. Glue the checked strip to the left side of the card and add the strawberry vine.  Add some yellow Stickles to the white flowers and your card is complete

You Are Sweet

Hi!

It's Anja here for my Sunday post. My slimline dies have finally arrived and today I have the first card to show you. I used Vintage Trellis Slimline to make a beautiful background for the sweet strawberries. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Vintage Trellis Slimline, Springtime Strawberries, Strawberry),

- Distress Inks,

- white card stock for die cuts and background (21,3x8,7 cm),

- red card stock for card base (22x9,5 cm),

- vellum paper for background (21,3x8,7 cm),

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- eye shadow applicator,

- yellow liquid drops,

- paper trimmer,

- scissors,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the strawberries. I used this make up applicator to color the inside of the flowers. I used a bit of pink in the middle.

Next I made a card base from red card stock and cut all the other elements for the background.

Then I adhered all the above pieces to the card base. I added strawberries. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere the strawberries on the front side and regular paper glue for the inside. Next I stamped and cut the sentiment.

Last I added yellow liquid drops to the middle of the flowers and let it dry.

 And my card was done.

 

And that's all from me for today. Before I go I want to invite you to The Scrapping Cottage online store to check the new Lil' Bluebird Designs release. You can find lovely ideas on the blog by other Design Team members. 

 

Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Anja Z.
