Pirate Adventure

Hi!

It's Anja here. My third card using the new dies is this one with a pirate on a treasure hunt. So much fun combining this cute dies.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Pirate, Treasure Chest Island, Camping Phrases),
- Distress Inks,
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- silver pigment ink,
- gold pigment ink,
- plastic stencil (clouds),
- pencil,
- brush,
- Wink of Stella glitter brush,
- paper glue.

 First I cut and colored the pirate. I used black and white pen for the eyes.


Next I cut and colored the island. I used Wink of Sella glitter brush for the necklace and the pearl.


I also cut the adventure phrase and colored it.

Then I did the background. I used a pencil to sketch the coloring lines. I did the clouds using a plastic stencil and a brush.


When all the pieces were ready I put the card together. And below is the final result.





Thank you for stopping by. See you again next Sunday.

Adventure Awaits!

Happy New Year Cottage Cutz fans!  I hope your year has started off great!  Mine has been quite nice although having a day off in the middle of the week has thrown me off a bit.

For today's card, I'm using new dies from the Arctic Friends and 2019 Christmas release.
This card would be perfect for anyone who loves to camp or go on road trips.
To start, I cut all the pieces from various colors of cardstock and vellum, and assembled.  I used Distress Oxide inks in Vintage Photo to give some shading to the edges.
Next I cut two sets of mountains in two shades of gray using the Snowy Mountains dies.  To give variety, I used the snow portion in gray for one set.  I decided that if I were camping, it probably wouldn't be in the winter, so I wanted my mountains "snow free".  I used the DO ink on the edges here as well.
For the sky I used a cloud stencil and a light blue ink.
I created the grass by blending three colors of green ink.  After these were done I began assembling the card on a top folding A2 card base.
I first layered the cloud panel, then the grass and finally placed my mountains.  I cut off the over hanging edges of the mountains.
I placed washi tape that looks like a road about 3/4" from the bottom and adhered the word Adventure from the Camping Phrases die.
Using foam dots, I popped up the card and trailer.  I'm very pleased with how this card came out - it may be my husband's birthday card!  However that's not for a several months and I'll probably make him ten more cards by then!  ;)

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

Let's Go Camping!


Hi, Lois here today with a fun fold card.  I have to admit that I'm not much of a camper.   I do remember one summer when I was a kid, we went to the Pocono Mountains for a week; but "camped" in a cabin -- not a tent.  With that said, I have a gatefold card for you today -- using several of the dies from the "Camping" release from CottageCutz.


Supplies for this card are:

Gold cardstock - 5 1/2" x 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 8 1/4"
White cardstock - 2 pieces 5 1/4" x 2 1/2", 1 piece 5 1/4" square
Various scrap pieces of colored cardstock - green, red, pale blue, green, silver, yellow, tan, orange
Distress ink - green, orange, brown
Patterned paper - grass, sky, sand, macadam
Double-sided tape and tape runner

I started by cutting out the pieces for the Jeep and Trailer and constructing each one.  I used double sided tape for the smaller pieces to make it easier to adhere them to the base pieces.

 Then I made the scene by cutting the patterned paper and adhering it to the two white panels, which I then glued to the front panel.  I created my scene by adding the jeep and trailer as well as some trees, the mountains, and the sun.


The fun part of a gatefold card is when you open the panels to the inside.


Using several of the accessory dies in the Camping release, I created a fun campsite.
