Sweet Bee Gnome "I Love You"/Storage Video

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have this darling gnome SVG I put together, and used for my post today for Really Reasonable Ribbon. I absolutely love making these darling bee gnomes, and using them on my memorydex spinner, as I get to see them all daily. Love that! So for this one here, I did use RRR Flowers, ribbon, and foam squares along with some scor-tape all will be linked below for easy finding.

Recipe for my memorydex:

the Memorydex die cut is from Amazon, and I cut it using some black card stock from papertemptress, then added some white paint dots. Next I layered using the darling bee paper from Echo Park Oh Happy day design paper. Love how cute it is. I then decided to use a stamp (i love you)and die set from Mymakersmovement, and added some dots to it. The bee gnome was already put together and ready to go, so I grabbed him to use. I did however make his antennae's and added black dew drops from The Robins Nest. Next I added some greenery and that way I could layout all my flowers for placement. I used Rose buds, sweetheart blossoms, carnations, Mini sweetheart blossoms, Open rose, and then an old aster daisy that I had in my bag of random flowers.

All my layers are popped using the foam tabs from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Love these as you can do lots of layers and they are thinner tabs. Lastly I added my ribbon bow to his hat, yes a ribbon bow on my gnome...hehehehe and then added my dew drops using hot glue.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:

foam tabs

1/4" chevron twill black

Carnations Mixed Pink

Open Roses Pale Pink

Rose buds white

Rose Buds two tone Pink

Mini sweetheart blossoms mixed pink

Sweetheart blossom mixed pink

other supplies:

memorydex die for the base and layer/amazon, white gel pen, svg file, the robins nest dew drops, stamp and die my makers movement, hot glue, echo park design paper, papertemptress card stock, greenery, wire, cricut, bee gnome svg, stickles.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

CottageCutz Butterfly Greetings



Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all!

Today I'm sharing 3 mini greeting cards I designed for today's Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge. We were to use Gold and Cream, and the dessert option was to use a butterfly.

For my 3 Mini cards(Measure 3 1/2" x 3 1/2") I used CottageCutz Butterfly and Flowers die and cut it out in white, then distressed it with antique linen, and some gold ink around the edges. The darker edge is vintage photo. I also added some Viva Pearl Pen dots in cream color to the center of the butterfly.



 

For the Frame in the center I used CottageCutz Elegant frame die. I then layered the circles on top of it, and stamped the Sentiments from StampinUp! on top. I distressed the circles using gold ink

 

The back layer was done using Martha Stewart Punch around the page punches. For the Gold Vellum I used it on the background for my cards. Its from Paper Temptress.

 

I kept my cards pretty simple, as there is no embellishments, ribbon, or sewing on any of these. These came together quickly!

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

I cut them out using Paper Temptress's Black Leather card stock. The butterfly was also cut using Paper Temptress Nero Incandescent Black, and then the vellum. The LOVE tag was cut using black, and then cut again with white. I stamped a SU! sentiment on the love tag with Memento black ink.
