Mother's Day Release Design Team Samples (Part 4)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the Mother's Day release.
There are 22 dies in this release that includes 3 Mothers Day phrase dies. All the other dies could be used year round for a variety of occasions as you will see with these DT cards. 

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again this month. The Design Team will start showing cards with the "Just For Guys" dies next week.

There are 4 samples for today from our talented Design Team members Jeanne Knobbe and Pam Mackay.

Card 1:  This first sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Stitched Birdhouse die. It's perfect for new neighbors and a great way to welcome people to the neighborhood.

The card also features the Spring Grass and Nested Wacky Stitched Rectangle dies. Jeanne cut two rectangles from the Wacky Rectangles and used partial die cutting with the Spring Grass die to get the grassy bottom. Her card colors are from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #689.
Card 2:  The next sample is another beautiful one from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Berry Cake, Mother's Day Cupcake, Love Hearts, Sweet Phrase and Scalloped Circles dies to create a card for a special friend. 

This card could be used for a birthday card, thank you card, or just to let someone know they are special. The berry cake and cupcake are so detailed with  the added berries, flowers and icings.

Card 3: Our next sample is from design team member Pam MacKay. She used the Mama Raccoon & Baby to create such a cute outdoor scene. The trees just completes her scene so well and they are part of the Rustic Sign & Trees die. A perfect thank you for the outdoors person.

Or how about as thank you cards from a new mother for a baby gift. By changing the sentiment you could make it a birthday or get well card. Lots of possibilities with this die.
Card 4: Our last sample for today is another from Pam MacKay.  On this one she used the Mom's Garden Bouquet to create such a pretty, feminine card. The colors for her card are also from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #689.
The addition of the stitched eyelet oval draws your eye right to the bouquet and the fancy floral lace border just adds to the feminine appeal. Think birthday, get well or a card just to say hello as some possibilities with this die.
 I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for alternate ways to use these new dies.  They are all so beautiful and the detail in all of them is amazing. All of the dies used on today's cards are on sale. Check out the online store for the exact savings.

Birthday Cupcake!


Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

We have a  Mother's Day Release available in the online store now.  There are 22 fantastic dies!  These dies are so adorable and can be used for other occasions so don't miss out!  Today, I am using the cupcake for a birthday card!
Design Steps:
 1. Using the Mother's Day Cupcake die cut all of the pieces of the cupcake out using pink, green, white and yellow card stock
 2.  Assemble the cupcake as shown above, I colored the heart and small flowers with my markers
 3.  Use an A2 card base, cut a 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 piece of white card stock and run it through the swiss dot embossing folder, cut a piece of striped DP 3 x 5, cut a strip of pink card stock 1/8 x 5 and a piece of dotted DP 1/4 x 5
 4.  Using the Scalloped 2 1/2 inch circle die cut a circle on the striped DP 1 inch from the top.  Glue the 2 strips to the embossed white card stock as shown
 5.  Glue the DP with the scalloped circle cut out to the embossed card stock as shown
 6.  Using foam tape pop the cupcake to the center of the circle
7.  Using white foam sheets that have adhesive on the back run it through the machine using the Expressions Happy Birthday die.  Adhere the Happy Birthday to the front panel just below the cupcake.  Then glue the embossed panel to the card front

Mother Day Release Design Team Samples (Part 1)

http://www.scrappingcottage.com/cottagecutzmothersday2018.aspx
Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We have a brand new release of Mother's Day  at 25% off the retail price.

There are 22 dies in this release that includes 3 Mothers Day phrase dies. All the other dies could be used year round for a variety of occasions.  We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again this month.

There are 3 samples for today and on Tuesday we will post another set of 3 samples. Plus the design team will be featuring these dies in their posts over the next couple of weeks.

Card 1: This first sample is from Janja Albrecht. She used the Mother's Day Cupcake and Flowers for Mom dies to create her set of tags. These beautiful tags would be so perfect attached to your gift for Mom or you could also use these on your handmade card for a 3-D effect. And, they would be so easy to re-create for your own special project. She used the Mom phrase from the Cupcake die on both her tags.

Card 2: This next sample is from Lois Bak. She made this stunning easel card using the Bouquet of Tulips die and the Happy Mother's Day Phrase. She cut the phrase a couple of times for extra thickness. She is using it as her anchor to allow the card to stand for displaying.

She framed the tulips perfectly by using a stitched scallop circle die.

If you have never made an easel card before, here is a link to a tutorial. They are not difficult and what Mom wouldn't like to have a card like this displayed on her mantle on Mother's Day.
Card 3: The 3rd and final sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the Mother's Day Cupcake + the Stitched Tulip & Daisies die to create a card for my Mother-in-Law.
The layout is from The Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #695. I thought the 3 circles would be perfect to display the cupcake, the tulip and also a stamped sentiment.
Adding some heart background paper completes the whimsical look to let my "other" Mom know that I care.
I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for a Mother's Day card or project. The new dies are all so beautiful and again they are on sale for a limited time.

There is also a sale going on today to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. You can save up to 50% on some dies. Check it out here.
