Just Because – Ready for Spring

Hello! Today, I am sharing a whimsical, spring-themed, friendship card created with Spellbinders products. Even though Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow (and declared six more weeks of winter), I am crafting with spring colors.

Die-cut bunny, balloon, and flowers with dies in the Open House Spring set.
Die-cut the square card frame (measuring almost 4 1/2 inches) with dies in the Fluted Classics Squares set. Adhere to a yellow card base.
Die-cut the circular frame with dies in the Fluted Classics Circles set.
Die-cut hill with a die in the Color Block Scenic Scape set. Adhere to sky cardstock and cut both with a die larger than the interior of the circle frame. Adhere frame and add assembly to card base.
Adhere flowers to the circular frame. Add the bunny and balloon with foam adhesive.
Glimmer-foil in Gold the sentiment with a plate in the More Sentiments set and die-cut with a die in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set. Attach to card.

Cottage Cutz Garden Gnome (Tomte)

Hello! Today I am sharing a garden-themed card featuring the Cottage Cutz Flower Power Tomte. As I have mentioned in previous posts sharing Cottage Cutz projects, the die-cutting and assembly is a bit like working a puzzle.

I die-cut the tomte pieces from a variety of cardstock pieces, including some to which I applied Distress inks.
I cut the cart pieces with the Puppy in Garden Cart set, adding the Tomte set bird. (The eyes of the bird are microbeads; it was no small feat adding them!)
The assembled pieces were added to a card base on which I stamped the Happy Gnomies sentiment and created a horizon with Distress Oxide inks.
