Marching Elephants Slider Card

 Hello to all !!
I am Anita here and it's my day to share super fun project using CottageCutz dies. The baby theme dies are all so cute and amazing that we can create many cute cards etc using them . You can check the collection here.
For today, I have a Slider card using the Elephants from the baby collection.
It is very easy to make such cards which are very popular with kids.
This is my card and below are the pictures of how I made them.



Begin by cutting the die cuts from the Elephants on Parade die. I have cut three times as I wanted to create thick die cuts .
Colour the Elephants as shown following the image on the package.
 Pass two Elephants of each size -the ones that have been coloured without shading through a sticker maker.
 Adhere the Elephants as shown and assemble the pieces together.

Cut a card stock 4 inches by 5.25 inches and adhere layers of pattern paper.
Draw a half inch parallel line in the centre and punch out two holes using a 1/4inch punch .
Cut in between the holes.
 Turn the card panel over. Double the 3d foam tape and cut into strips and adhere at the back as shown. Keep the penny in place to know where to place the tape.


Attach a blue pattern paper cut to the size of the Slider panel at the back. Add clouds using distress inks . Add some stamped butterflies .

 Adhere the Slider panel on A 2 card base. Add ribbon and sentiments.

Bear on cloud (gate fold card)

Hi, Janja here!

Teddy bears are so popular toys. They are so soft to touch and ideal for cuddling.
On a gate fold card, that I share with you today, I put a lovely bear on cloud.



Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Bear On Cloud and Moon, Baby, Nursery Furniture, Elephants on Parade, Baby Diaper Pins, Stroller mini, Baby Carrier mini, Bathtub mini, Fancy Victorian Frame, Cross-Stitched Square set, Stitched Wide Oval Frame set
- white cardstock for card base: 11.4 x 5.7" (29 x 14,5 cm)
- patterned paper
- white and colored cardstock
- light pink organza ribbon

For card base trim white cardstock and fold it at 2.85" and 8.55 " (7,25 cm and 21,75 cm)


Trim patterned paper. First, attach organza ribbon on card base, and then cover the base with patterned paper. Use two-sided adhesive tape.



Cut out a square from patterned paper with the largest die from cross-stitched square set. Place it on to a little larger square from white cardstock.
Also cut out frames from white and patterned paper. Cut them in half with scissors, and attach to the back of the square.


Place square over the center fold. Take care that the adhesive is applied only to one-half of a square.


Add selected patterned paper also on the inside of the card. In the middle add space for text. Use the largest die from stitched wide oval frame set.


Cut out with dies all pieces, and assemble them into a whole.



To complete the card, mount all motives as shown, using glue and self-adhesive foam pads.



Thank you for coming over. Have a nice day.
