Celebrate

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have celebration themed card for you today. I combined dies from different releases and this is the final result. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Fox in Airplane, Celebrate Phrase, Clouds Slimline),

- Distress Inks,

- light blue card stock for card base (10x21 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts, 

- black pen,

- white pen,

- cotton string,

- tape,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the fox and the plane.

Next I cut the sentiment three times, glued the cuts together and then colored it.  

I used clouds slimline die for clouds cuts in different sizes. First I trimmed the paper (21 cm long) and the cut the clouds. I colored the edges and then glued the cuts on top of each other. I started with the widest one. 

I taped the string on the back of the plane and added adhesive foam pads to adhere the plane on the card base. I tied up the other end of the string to the sentiment and glued the sentiment on the card base. And my card was done.

 
 
 

Before I go I want to invite you to The Scrapping Cottage online store to check the new farm release and Memorial Day Sale. 

Have a nice Sunday and see you again on next week. 

Anja Z.

Celebrate

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a celebratory card which is perfect for a young child's birthday or even anyone who is just a kid at heart.  The new slimline dies were perfect for this fun card.

I used the Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline dies for my card base pieces and just trimmed them to size. The other dies used on my card are the Circus Lion, the Celebrate Phrase, the Pierced Oval and Oval.
The first step in creating my card was to assemble the 3 pieces for the card background.The largest piece was adhered on a white card base with the other 2 pieces layered on top.

Next, the oval die cut was nested inside the pierced oval die cut and adhered in the center of my card.

The adorable circus lion was centered inside the double ovals as the focal point of my card.

The celebrate sentiment was affixed above the ovals on a curve for a whimsical appearance.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

What Does the Fox Say?

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a fun birthday card using dies from the new Birthday release.  These dies are 25% off right now at the online store.  They are so cute that they are certain to brighten someone's birthday!

Now on to my card and the answer to that question - what DOES the fox say?  I'm not sure what all foxes say, but we'll find out what this one says anyway.
I started with this week's sketch at Splitcoaststampers.
I picked my patterned paper and then the coordinating colors.  I used an A2 card base and cut the panels to 4 x 5.25 inches.
To get the curve, I used the largest of the Stitched Oval dies (you could also used the Pierced Oval or Double Stitched Oval dies) and partially die cut it.  I placed the top plate of my die cut "sandwich" over half of the oval so that only  that portion was cut.
Then I was able to shorten those panels by cutting off the top.

I die cut the fox and the presents and balloons from various colors of card stock that coordinate with my pattern.  I was planning on using just a couple of presents but ended being able to make several which I can now use on other cards.
Ultimately I ended up using only one present.  I placed it on the panel without gluing it down so I knew where to stamp my sentiment and also draw my balloon strings with a multi-liner pen.
 I glued the balloons down and attached my panels to the card base.
And to answer THE question....the fox says CELEBRATE!
To finish off the front of the card I popped up the fox and present using foam dots and added gold sequins.

I hope you enjoyed the card today  Remember to visit the online store and check out this adorable release!

Celebrate!

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans.  It's Jeanne posting today.  Christmas is just around the corner and I've made a card for you that could easily be adapted to Christmas or other celebration just by changing the colors and paper.  Today I made it a birthday card.
This card goes together very quickly.  I cut most pieces from white card stock.  For the cat, balloon and present I used colored or patterned paper.
I used alcohol markers to color the white pieces to match the colors in the patterned papers and glued the pieces together.
I chose some coordinating paper and cut an A2 panel and a square from the second largest of the Nested Wacky Stitched Squares along with the word Celebrate in red.
I angled the square in the lower right corner and added the cat, present, balloon and sentiment.
Finally, I popped the cupcake up using a foam dot and added some sequins.

Country Candle Easel Card

Hi, Lois here with my Monday card.  Before I start, I want to remind you that some of the CottageCutz dies are on sale -- some up to 70% off.  If you're still making fall cards, our new Autumn designs are still on sale at 25% off.  Check them out here.

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week -- and with that comes Christmas right around the corner.  I'm still making Christmas cards, and that's what I have for you today -- using one of the dies from the CottageCutz Christmas release as well as a couple of older dies.

As you may know, I love making fun fold cards -- today's is an easel card.


To start my card, I cut all the die pieces from white cardstock.


I lightly sponged the glass candle holder pieces with Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass ink.  The rest of the pieces were colored using Copic markers.  When they were all colored, I assembled my candle holder.


I then cut the cardstock and patterned paper for my card.

Red - 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", 4 1/4" square
Patterned paper - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"
White - die cut the largest Pierced Wide Square Frame


The large red piece of cardstock was scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".


After folding on the score lines, I placed some Scor-Tape on the first 2 1/8" x 4 1/4" panel.  This is where the square panel will be attached.


I then adhered the patterned paper to the square red panel and attached it to the folded base.



I placed foam tape on the back of the frame and the candle holder . . .


. . . and attached them to the card front.


At this point I decided I wanted to add another element to the card, so I cut some additional pieces from the die, colored and constructed a small sprig of foliage, and attached it to the upper left-hand corner of the frame.


With an easel card, you need something to act as a "bumper" to hold the easel erect.  I often use a sentiment to do that.  I cut "celebrate" five times from red cardstock.


After gluing the die-cut pieces together, I placed the sentiment on the under panel on which I had placed a 4" square of patterned paper.


The word "celebrate" is high enough to hold the card open for display.
