Watermelon Gnomies Slimline Cards

Looking for absolute cuteness???  Then look no further!  Close To My Heart's new Chillin' With My Gnomies stamp set is just that!!  Today, I want to feature the watermelon gnomie.  He is stinkin' cute (at least in my opinion!)  And because of his simple lines, he is easy to manipulate and use the piecing technique with - which I love!

When designing these cards, I wanted to use the Smoothie cs but quickly found that I didn't have a marker that was close in color to our Smoothie.  So, easy win...I stamped the gnomie on Smoothie cs and cut out the center of the watermelon out with my non-stick scissors and then pieced it into my watermelon.  I then used the same technique to stamp, and paper piece his little hat.

The slimline overlays were from Close To My Heart's Artbooking Cricut Collection, were manipulated, and resized in Cricut Design space.  There are a multitude of possibilities in this collection that are perfect for Slimlines with just a little tlc!

All three of these Slimline cards are a create and take that I designed for the Stamp & Scrapbook Expo Red, White and Blue event and my be purchased my shop.  Here are detailed photos of the cards.

Magical Fairy Slimline Card

Such a sweet card!  This card was created with a previously retired mix-in paper collection as well as our Fairy Tale Magic stamp set and accompanying Thin Cut.  The little fairy is simply adorable!  I have been wanting to use her but couldn't find the right look or feel to partner her with then I remembered this beautiful watermarked butterfly paper and the two paired so beautifully together.

Although challenging to see in the photo (you can click on the photo for it to open up in a new window for a larger view), the butterfly paper is splattered with the Gold and Clear Shimmer Brush while the woodgrain piece is splattered with the Gold, Clear and Peach Shimmer Brushes.  The fairy's dress, shoes and flowers in her hair are colored withe the Peach Shimmer Brush and her wings are brushed with a combination of the Gold in the detailed pattern of the wings and then the Clear Shimmer Brush surrounding the details.  

She is popped up with Thin Foam Tape.  Her head and left wing are elevated with two layers of the Thin Foam tape while the rest of her is elevated with one layer.  I love how this makes her look like she is flying. 

The butterfly patterned paper is cut into three pieces:  3/4", 1" and 1 1/4" and then adhered with a small space between each piece.  This allows the pattern to be continual beyond the spaces.

Supplies used:  (Z3704) Fairy Tale Magic Stamp and Thin Cuts, (Z3661) Peach Shimmer Brush, (Z3293) Clear Shimmer Brush, (Z3316) Gold Shimmer Brush, (Z2832) Pewter Exclusive Ink Pad, (X6044) Peach cs, (X6046) French Vanilla cs, (Z2060) Thin Foam Tape, (Z3372) Adhesive Runner, (X257) Slimline Cards and Envelopes, (retired) Mix-In Paper.

This card can now be found in my card buffet both here and at my on-line events.
