Snowy Drive thru the Pines

Happy Monday CottageCutz friends!  Kris here with you today, sharing a card using the Classic 50's Release!  



My dad and hubby's birthdays are in December, so this card works for either one!  It's a Bridge Fold card and I'll show you how I made it, but if you'd like a video, there's a great one on Splitcoast Stampers here.
DESIGN STEPS:
Step 1
Cut a cardstock base to 5 1/2" x 9”.
Score at 3” and 6". Fold into a Z and burnish.

Step 2
Center one of the Clouds Slimline Dies (or die of your choice) over the Z folded piece at the top. Secure with Post it notes or Washi tape and run thru machine back and forth a few times to go thru all 3 sections.



Step 3
Cut 3 pieces of white cardstock to 2-3/4” x 5". Using the same cloud die you used on your folded piece, and in the same position, die cut the tops of all 3 pieces.   


Step 4
Score down the center of the outside two pieces of card base and 2 of the white pieces, and mountain fold them. Adhere the non-folded white piece to the center of card and the folded ones to the outside panels.


Step 5
Cut a piece of white cardstock that is 4" x 1-1/2" and score 1/2" on each end.  

Cut another piece of white that is 4" wide by about 2" tall and score 1/2" on each end.  Then cut the top with one of the cloud dies.


Step 6
Add glue to the side flaps of the straight-topped piece and adhere to the inside sides and so the bottom is flush with the bottom of the white sides as shown below.

Adhere the cloud-topped piece half-way between the front "bridge" piece and the back, but up higher, but so the bottom is hidden below the top of the front piece.  (See photo in Step 9)


Step 7
Die cut pieces from Classic Car (front), Woodland Pine Trees, and the Fifties Phrases #2 and assemble.


Step 8
I added Snow Writer to the pine trees for a puffy snowy effect!  


Step 9
Adhere one tree to the center back of card with a foam strip/dot, and then glue 2 trees to the cloud-topped center piece.

Glue "You're a Classic" down the side panels.


Step 10
Add foam strips to the bottom portion of the back of car and adhere to the front center piece.


How CUTE are those dice hanging from the mirror? {♥♥}

Christmas Kitty Car

Happy Monday friends!   Kris here with a cute and simple card using the Christmas Kitty Car, from the Christmas 1 Release!   We do have a 2nd Christmas Release that is now live and on SALE so be sure to go check that out HERE!  All the individual dies from the 2nd release are 30% OFF for a limited time!  

I love this fun car with the wonky wheels and kitty driving.  ☺  Reminds me of driving to the woods with the kids to chop our own Christmas tree.


Design Steps:

1. I sponged some Wilted Violet Distress Ink onto a 5-1/4" x 4" white cardstock.


2.  I die cut some tree from the Woodland Pine Trees set, and another white piece with the Hills Slimline set.  They are not attached at this point, just laid them on there.


3. I colored up the trees, and then I misted my purple background with water and let dry. I then added some white gel pen dots for additional snow.


4.  I glued my trees and snow border onto the purple snow panel.  Then I attached that piece to an A2 lime green card.

5.  I die cut my Christmas Kitty Car and colored it with Copics.  

6.  I cut a grey pc. to 5-1/4" wide and die cut the top with a Hills Slimline die.

7.  I cut a pc. of white cardstock to 5-1/4" wide, stamped the bottom right portion, then die cut the top with another die from the Hills Slimline set.


8.  I then attached the grey then the white layers onto my card and popped the car up with foam tape. 


THANK YOU for taking time to visit today!

I hope I inspired you to get crafty with your favorite CotageCutz dies ~ Have a blessed week ☺

Life Is Beautiful

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made a brand new scene on a card today. This reminds me of my holidays this year. Camping in nature, surrounded with mountains.


For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Camping Trailer, Moose & Trees, Woodland Pine Trees, Spring Grass, Snowy Mountains),

- die inks,

- craft paper card base (15x15 cm),

- white cardstock for background (14x14 cm) and die cuts,

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- silver pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- brushes,

- paper glue. 


First I cut and colored all the pieces. I cut two sets of mountains and grass and three sets of pine trees.

 
Next I did the background using inks and brushes. 

When I glued all the pieces to the card base I added the sentiment.

And my card was done.


Before I go I just want to remind you there's a huge Labor's day sale going on on The Scrapping Cottage online store. Make sure you get the dies on your wish list before the sale is over. 

Have a nice Sunday and see you again tomorrow with my additional post this week.

Adventure Awaits

Hi! Janja is here today with a card for all adventure travel lovers.


- CottageCutz dies: Arctic Whale & Narwhal, Snowy Mountains, Seal & Walrus Pals, Camping Phrases, Woodland Pine Trees
- white card blank: 5.5 x 5.5" (14 x 14 cm), folded
- light blue paper: 2.2 x 5.3" (5,6 x 13,5 cm)
- blue paper: 3.4 x 5.3" (8,6 x 13,5 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

First, start making a card by cutting out all of its elements.
I cut all my pieces out of colored cardstock. You can also use white cardstock, and color all the pieces with any color media.


For both islands I used floating ice sheets and for different conifers only their upper parts.


Use colored paper in two shades of blue for the sky and the sea.
Cut the mountains from white cardstock. Use them as a stencil to shade the sky behind the mountains. Now paste the mountains to the shaded spot.
Shade a part of the sea with a bit darker ink pad.


Paste both papers with a double-sided adhesive tape to get a 5.3 x 5.3 inches (13.5 x 13.5 cm) background.
Cut or tear off a strip from the same paper as the sea.
Paste a white "Adventure" cutout on the right.


Paste the forest to both islands and all together on the background. Paste the Arctic Whale on the back of the strip.
Finish the card by attaching the strip to the bottom edge with foam self-adhesive pads.



Have a nice day.
Janja
