I LOVE that you can build a gnome with the Gnomes dies in addition to cutting out the stamped images. Each builder piece has fantastic detail that looks great with not only cardstock, but DSP, Watercolor and Ink Blending.

Today I am sharing one of the cards I made on my Live on Wednesday. If you don’t have the bundle, you need it! In the very least you need the dies. When I first saw this bundle in the new Annual Catalog I wasn’t so sure, but it is now one of my top favorites.
If you’re like me and have a lot of paper scraps, this is another card design they work well on. I created a great “scrap” card with the Happy Forest Friends Suite you can see here. This card uses solely card stock scraps in yellows and purples. All strips started at 5.5 inches long and were trimmed after they were adhered to the card. You can view the step by step tutorial here.
Once you have the strips laid down to your liking, it’s just a matter of adhering the butterflies, sentiment strip and embellishments. This card would be fun with many different color palettes and is a great way to use scraps.

One of my favorite things to do is create backgrounds-especially watercolor. Often times I will just sit and make backgrounds not knowing if they will ever make it to a card or not. There are many ways you can create a watercolor background and for this card my process was simple. I used the back of a stamp (to get a more solid impression) on a glass mat (you can use one of your clear cutting plates), sprayed with water and laid my paper over the top. I like to keep a paper towel on hand to catch any drips once I pick up the paper. I like to turn the paper different directions and let the water take the lead. Once the paper is dry I cut it to the size I want for my card. I also love to die cut from watercolor backgrounds (like I did with the butterflies on this card) because you can get such an amazing gradient of color.
This card is super simple-make space for any sentiment you want to use and cut the panel accordingly. Then adhere your butterflies and some embellishments. If you would like to see the assembly of this card (which was a hot mess) you can view the replay of my Live here.

I hope you have enjoyed the cards in this series so far. Today I am sharing the 3rd and last card.
I chose to fussy cut a tree out of one of the DSP patterns-pretty easy since it’s a large image. I really love the patterns in this paper-whimsical as well as simple.
I mixed it up with the sentiment this time and use a different stamp set called. This is a great set because the dies cut out all the sentiments! Genius.

Welcome back for card 2 in this series. If you missed my last post, you can see it here.
I decided to not use a white card base for this card. Shocker, I know! However, it’s still a standard A2 (and fairly simple). This is a great card for scraps since it uses strips of paper. Again, minimal die cutting.
Remember, this suite isn’t just for kids and babies. You can mix it up and make it your own.
