Friend Card Using Conie Fong Sunflower Gnome and CTMH Lovely Paper Pack

Hello Friends!  I  hope you are having time to create or do something you love.  I know there are a lot of people still on stay at home orders all over the world; but many have gone back to work too.  It is quite varied at this time.  Please stay safe.

I bought all of these wonderful edgeable dies from Crafters Companion on auto ship; but this is only the 2nd one I have used.  They are so much fun; and I still have more to come.  I am a collector of many things and dies seems to be something I enjoy collecting.  I wish I had time and energy to use them all.  

CTMH has two new Idea books which started Sept 1st and this paper pack outside of card plus inside of card are both from the new set of CTMH Lovely Paper Pack X8015B.  I am in love with this paper.  It is a pack of 12; which is even more exciting and from our Core Idea book; which is good for a year.  

I used the new Conie Fong "Sunflower Gnome" digital image.  I have trouble coloring small images; so I try and make them 4 - 4.5 inches so I can see them.  I have a magnifying lamp; but I still need them larger to color them properly; which is one of the main reasons I use digital images.  I can size them any size that I want, as long as they fit on a card.  LOL!  I also buy the PNG files, so I can add them to my Cricut for print and cut.  It sure makes cutting easier as well.  My hands are quite deformed from arthritis and cutting with thin cuts or Cricut is a big help.

Paper outside and inside is from CTMH Lovely Paper Pack X8015B
Available Sept 1st, 2020 in the new CTMH Core Idea Book

Sending Gnome Sunshine Using Conie Fong Sunflower Gnome

Hello Friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It has been a crazy year so far.  I keep hoping things will improve for everyone and that we will be safe from COVID-19; but the entire world is in trouble; especially the USA.  Please wear a mask, social distance and stay safe.  Many people are dying, including all ages and we must do everything we can to slow this horrible virus until they can make a vaccine for it.  

Now, on to more fun things.  I didn't like Gnomes when they first came out.  I know, I can't believe it either.  I don't like things without eyes showing and a mouth preferred.  LOL!  Conie Fong "Sunflower Gnome" is so adorable and it has eyes, nose and a mouth.  Yay!  

I am also in love with the new Slimline cards and having fun creating with them as well.  I thought I had all the dies I needed; and then they came out with dies for the slimline.  I have several now; so I think I am good on those too.  I am still waiting on my last order from Gina Marie Designs.  She has some fabulous buys on her slimline; a lot less expensive than what I paid for other companies; so be sure to check her out.  I used her Stitched Scallop slimline dies on the inside of this card.  


Available in JPG and PNG (above link is PNG.  I purchase PNG images when they are available; as you can layer them on Microsoft Word, using the sentiment and other images with them as I did on this card.   
The sun is freebie for limited time on Conie Fong Facebook group.
