Cottage Wreath Bundle

 

So which do you like better?

THIS OR THAT????

 

THIS- the card

OR

THAT- the framed decor?

 

These are exactly the same project except the 

Brick & Mortar Crumb Cake Piece is 4 x 5 1/4' on the card.

AND on the framed it is 4 x 6".

 

CHECK OUT the Catalog sample on page 70 in the Holiday Catalog.

I was inspired by the sample there to make these projects!

 

Here is my card......

I added Wink of Stella over the holly berries on the wreath here.

NOTE:  Be careful to stay in the lines of the berries, as the ink will bleed outside the image 

if you go outside the image when using the Wink of Stella on the Classic Ink.

And here is my framed decor.......

 NOTE that on the berries on the door in this framed decor piece

I added the Red Pearlized Enamel Effects to make them pop out (3D look).

 

I bought this 4x6" (window size) frame years ago

& honestly can't remember where.

It was raw wood that was unstained so I used my 

Blending Brush & Crumb Cake ink to add some brown to it.  

I let this DRY for a bit AND 

then added some WHITE CRAFT INK on it by 

LIGHTLY DRAGGING my ink pad across the frame.

*NOTE that the White Craft Ink does take awhile to dry.

(like approx 2 hours or so)

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp sets:  'Cottage Wreath' & 'Leaves of Holly' (words)

card stock:

•  Thick Basic White- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- for card base
  
• Crumb Cake- 4 x 6"(decor) or 4 x 5 1/4" (card)-emboss this with Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

• Basic White- 2 pieces- 1 x 2" & emboss with Timber 3D Embossing Folder (for upper part of the door
• Basic White- 2 pieces- 1 x 2 1/4"- emboss with Timber 3D Embossing Folder (for lower part of the door)

Storybook Gnomes

Look at this cute swinging legged gnome! 

He is just stinkin' adorable!

 

How did I make the gnome?

Here are all of the pieces I used to make the gnome.

Hat, nose, beard, 2 hands, 2 arms & feet.

I cut the swing hole piece out of a 3/4 x 1" piece.

 

NOTE:  I did trim the swing hole piece down though after taking this photo 

& made it 3/8 x 1" & I diagonally snipped of the top corners too a little,

 as it was hitting on the arms when it was wider.

This is the gnome all assembled.

 

Add dimensionals as shown- be sure to not put them too low.

AND put the arms UP a little higher than shown, 

so that they don't hit on the legs when they swing.

 

Add the swing piece & legs like this with 2 mini dimensionals on top of each other.

Theses stacked dimensionals will be stuck to the back side of the beard.

NOTE:  I did snip the top corners off of this just alittle from the swinging mechanism

so it wouldn't hit the arms when it was swinging.

Now add the gnome to the embossed snowflake piece.

This is what the card looks like when it is opened up.

Notice how I added the DSP over the top right side of the white inside piece. 

I made this gnome card a birthday card!

As I think he looks happy & like he is celebrating!

Here are the supplies & measurements.
