I made this card and banner for our grandma’s 100th birthday.
There was a lot of time making this card. The gnome is a Cricut cut in my stash.
The gnome is an inside family joke
Edited-I did look it up and the gnome is from the cartridge Fresh Picked.
The brick paper is from Recollections and looks like real brick.
I made the grass paper from scraps. I inked them with distress ink and cut slits in the top.
I used dimensional adhesives to give the grass multiple layers.
The mushroom and flower are stickers by K and Co.
The lattice on the left was inspired by the heritage photos I'm scrapping.
I took a vine-like ribbon and weaved it into the lattice die-cut by Cricut.
That ribbon has been in my stash for probably 5 years
The flowers on the vine were made with a punch from Marvy.
It felt good to use a lot of old supplies. And have it come out so cute.
I hadn't been entering challenges but have recently found a few blogs I like. This card is perfect for the summer fun challenge at:
I hoped Siri was correct. I stamped out those numbers. I love how it turned out.
Thanks for looking
Cute card! Love the gnome and brick paper
