Easy Birthday Card

Happy TuesDIE Cottage Cutz Friends!
Melinda here with you on another Terrific TuesDIE. Today I am sharing a fun and very easy card I created featuring dies that are part of the Great Labor Day Sale Happening Now!

Here's a look at my completed card. This is a shot of the outside and the inside.




Here is what it looks like when closed. It is a standard A2 side folding card. 

The base of the card is a piece of Kraft cardstock cut at 5.5 x 8.5. It is folded to make it a 4.25 x 5.5 size. I then cut two pieces of patterned paper at 4 x 5.25. I mounted them on to each side of the inside of the card. 

Next I cut a piece of Kraft cardstock to 1.75 x 8.5. I then folded it in half and then folded those two halves in half again. This made four equal panels. I then made sure the folds were valley, mountain and valley. I then cut a piece of patterned paper to 1 5/8 x 4. I folded that in half with a mountain fold. Once I did this, i adhered the patterned paper to the center of the Kraft paper strip. Mountain on mountain.


I then applied adhesive to the backs of the two end squares. I adhered one side down roughly in the center and about a half inch from the edge. I then held the folded squares down and closed the card. I burnished the card onto the square with the adhesive so that upon opening back up, it would be solidly adhered to the opposite flap.

I opened it back up and then decorated the flap. I added a scallop, eyelet stitched square from the die set to each end. To their centers I added a piece of matching paper and then a pretty butterfly from the Kayla butterfly die. To the center two squares, I added a smaller square in Kraft cardstock with two hearts from the Stitched heart die set.

Here is another photo of the card opened.

Here is a closer look at the front of the card opened. I added a mat of patterned paper and then two hearts, one white and one Kraft from the stitched heart set. I added another butterfly. For the butterflies, I started with plain white cardstock (actually one was Kraft cardstock) and then colored them with my markers to give them that gradient colored look. I adhered the butterfly to the center of the heart. I die cut the happy birthday in white cardstock and then used my markers to color them as well. For the happy, I just angled it around the heart as I adhered it. For the dot of the "I", I used some stickles.

Here is one last look at the finished card. This is a real easy and quick way to add a little extra something to your cards with minimal extra effort. Plus the sky is the limit on the sizing and style options for this. It is a real easy go to!

We've Moved

Hi, Vladka here!

Also on today's card I'm using dies from Home sweet home release and also some dies from previous releases. I saw ideas for such a card on the Pinterest and decided to give it a try. So, I used Build a House set 2 die and cut out just upper part of the house to create little houses. Balloons are taking the middle one away to another place. Let me show you how I created this card.


Basics:

White card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock and some white cardstock to cut out the die cuts 

Other Supplies:

CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distress Ink: Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagon, Dusty Concord, Aged Mahogany, Tumbled Glass
Other: Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, Water, Sheet of Acetate

1. First let's do some smooshing on additional piece of paper to prepare the background.  Add some Tumbled Glass Ink on acrylic block and spritzed some water on it. Then take a piece of plastic acetate and gentle pressed it against the block to pick up some of the ink. Now, press the plastic on the paper to transfer the ink. This will give you a splotchy look. Do the same with green distress ink on the bottom of the paper. This will look like the lawn.



2. Cut the Balloons out of white cardstock and color them with differnet distress inks and use blending tool for that. Distress the edges with darker distress inks. 


3. With Build a House set 2 die cut 3 little houses out of white cardstock. Leave the first two white and glue the roof and the window on both of them. On the third one use the smallest heart from the heart set dies and cut the heart out of the house. Colore the heart red and put it back where it was cut out before. Color also the roof and glue it on the house. 


4. Now it is time to glue everything together. But first cut the expression "We've Moved" out of the white cardstock. Now put all the pieces together as shown on the photo. Use aslo 3D foam adhesive squares to glue some balloons and the house with the heart.




I hope you like this card. Enjoy the summer and have fun creating. And don't forget, fourth CottageCutz challenge is waiting for you. This time theme is GREENERY. You can linked your project here. And please, use only Scrapping Cottage dies.
