Happy Fall

Hello Friend

I am in Arizona where the temperature has been soaring.  It has been over 100 degrees for a month!  So needless to say I am ready for fall!   I am trying to wish autumn here a little quicker with this cute little fall card.  I made this card with a variety of older dies.  The focal point is the Sweet Fox die which is available in the store now!  

I saw a card by Ann Chuang on Pinterest that I loved.  So I used her card as my inspiration.


Design Steps:

1.  Start by cutting all the pieces using the following dies, Sweet FoxMushroom Fairy Garden, Pumpkin Pie & Latte (leaves), and Rustic Sign & Trees (log) and these colors of card stock: red, yellow, rust, orange, tan, green gray, black, white and brown


2.  Ink all of the pieces with coordinating inks.  I used TH inks and a small applicator.  After you ink assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue

3.  The card base is a gray A2 size.  I cut a piece of DP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  The birch trees I cut out of gray using the Merry Christmas w/Deer Family die.  I inked them before I glued them to the DP. Then I glued the DP to the card front

4.  Cut the grass from a 4 1/8 x 2 piece of green using the Grass Slimline die.  Glue the grass to the bottom of the card.  Add the log and the fox to the center of the grass as shown above

5.  Continue to add the Mushrooms, little clumps of grass, foliage and fall leaves to the card as you like.  You can see by the finished card below I moved a few things around before glueing them down
6.  Add the sentiment stamped on gray and layered on rust and your card is finished
7.  I had a few pieces left so I decorated the inside for a little surprise!





We have more inspiration on our YouTube Channel check it out HERE

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Blessings and Take Care

Fox and Bird

Hi!

It's Anja here. Hope you had a good week. I was adjusting back to work after the holidays.
We still have now snow where I live, so I decided to male a winter scene on my card for today's post. I used combination of new and older dies.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Winter Birdhouses, Sweet Fox, Birch Trees),
- Distress Inks 7Tumbled Glass, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick, Walnut Stain),
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background 13,5x13,5 cm),
- white acrylic paint,
- brush,
- black pen,
- black brush pen,
- white pen,
- heat gun,
- scissors,
- paper glue.

First I cut the fox and the little bird. I used Distress Ink for coloring. I used pens for the eyes.


Then I colored the house.


And the the trees.


Next it was the background. I colored it in grey and light blue tones.


I used white acrylic paint for snow. I dried it with the heat gun.


Then I made the snowy ground. I used white card stock and cut it with sccisors.


And when I had all the pieces I assembled the card and glued it together. And my card was finished.





Before I go I just want to invite you to the store to check out new Valentine's day release. You can get all the new dies for lower price.

Have a great Sunday and see you again next week.

Spring Fox

Good morning Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a bit of spring!  I love the Stitched Flowers dies and wanted to showcase them. (And they're on sale for a limited time!)  What better way than with this sweet fox.
I had an idea for my palette of colors but nothing specific.  So I started by using the Stitched Flowers die and cutting them in multiple colors. (I now have a lot extra for additional cards! So easy!)
Then I played with the colors and arrangements and eventually decided on these flowers in the blue family.  The fox is cut from Cajun Craze cardstock with his chest and tail tip in Very Vanilla.
I cut a piece of white cardstock to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4 for a top fold A2 card.  I cut 5 1/2 x 4 1/4  panel for the front that I embossed with a striped embossing folder.  And my last panel was cut with the largest of the Double Stitched Rectangle dies.
I assembled the fox and colored his eye and nose with a black multi-liner pen. Then I took the stitched panel and arranged the flowers.
Finally, I used foam dots to adhere the fox between the flowers and foam tape to pop the stitched panel up off the card face.

I just love the new Stitched dies!  They really add a special detail to the images.  The Stitched dies and the new Spring dies are all on sale for a limited time.  Make sure to check them out!

Fox and Friend!



Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Family!

It is Pam sharing ideas with you today!

I can honestly say I am almost done with my Valentine's Day cards!  I can't wait to send them off to friends and family!
The one I created for you today is one of my favorites!  I love the little fox and his birdie friend!

Designer Steps:
1.  Start by using the Sweet Fox die and cut out a rust colored fox and a light tan fox.
2.  Use the rust colored body of the fox and ink the edges for depth.  Use the light tan for the chest and tip of the tail.  Also ink the edges of both of those pieces.  With your makers color the tan bird blue and the wing dark blue.  Color the heart red, the nose and eyeball black
3.  Assemble the pieces as shown above.  I used a white gel pen for the eye dot
4.  Next cut out the grass using the Spring Grass die and green card stock.  Cut out the fence in white using the Victorian Fence die.  Cut out the piece of cloud DP with the largest Double Stitched Rectange die.  Glue all pieces to the DP
5.  Add the fox to the DP by tucking it into the grass
6.  Use an A2 white card base with an embossed inset
7.  Place a piece of fun foam on the DP panel and pop it to the card front.  Add the sentiment and your Valentine is complete
