Lawn Fawn | Gnome + Home

Hello cardmaking friends! Today I am sharing a cute die-cut scene featuring several Lawn Fawn die sets and a favorite stamp set.

With the Stitched Cloud Backdrop Landscape or Portrait die, die-cut the card background. Since the card is a Portrait, either die works. Add to A2-size card base.
Heat-emboss sentiment from the Simply Sentiments set on green cardstock and die-cut with the Forest Border die. Add to card background.
Die-cut the Mushroom House from cardstock and assemble. I used Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock on the door and window. Add house to scene with dot adhesive.
Die-cut the Garden Gnome from cardstock and assemble. This die set is easy to work with as there is a solid die for the back and an outline die. Add the gnome to the scene with foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
