Friends are Like Sunshine

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you today!

We have a new release of Slimline dies and they are just a great addition to any card makers collection.  There are 9 designs and everyone of them can be used on ever single kind of card I can think of!!

Today,  I am using the Windows Slimline and the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline with a variety of additional dies.


Design Steps:
1.  Base card is a white slimline, using the largest Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die cut blue card stock,  use the Windows Slimline die and cut white card stock 
2.  Use the Bird with Bluebells cut out the leaves and the birds in green, blue, light blue, and purple.  Use the Rooster and Chick die and cut out the sun in yellow and light yellow.  Using Garden Accessories cut the white fence. Use Spring Meadow for the green grass and purple flowers 
3.  Assemble the birds and sun using a fine tip glue
4.  Glue the blue scalloped rectangle to the white base card.  Glue down the Window frame and then quickly tuck in the grass, fence and branches.  Add the sun to the top right corner of the card
5.  As I was working on the card I decided that I needed some butterflies so I used the Spring Meadow die again and yellow paper to create the butterflies.  I colored the butterflies bodies with a black Sukura Jelly Roll Pen.  I also used this pen on the eyes along with a white one
6.  Pop up the birds on the branches and stamp your sentiment.  I felt like the bottom of the card needed something more so I used the Mouse with Flower Cart die.  I cut the mouse out of gray card stock assembled him and then tucked him behind the fence.  Add your flowers onto the grass and your little yellow butterflies and your card is complete

The Tandem Bike on a Scenic Route

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

Hope you have been enjoying all of the beautiful creations that the DT has been showing over these past weeks with the wedding dies. If you haven't seen them, just page back through the Blog for some delightful eye candy.

Today I am using one of the wedding dies, Tandem Bike, and decided to create a little outdoor scene with it. I am going to send this to a friend to let her know she is being thought of.  We ride bikes together at a local trail. So this die was perfect to use. Let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 
Step 1: For my outdoor scene, I wanted a tree (grass, trees and vine die) a fence (garden accessories die) and the tandem bike. Cut these pieces first and then I chose my card colors of a medium gray and the blue -green based on the color I used on the tandem bike.
 

Step 2:  I used a cloud template and sponged Tumbled Glass Distress ink for my clouds. I used a Taupe ink and sponged the ground at the bottom of my card.
Step 3:  I am ready to start assembly of the die cuts in my scene. I used multi matte medium, glue dots and dimensional adhesive to secure. The tandem bike has dimensional adhesive. I wanted it lifted slightly off the card base so it wouldn't be flush against the fence.  It gives it a bit more depth this way.
Step 4:  I wanted a sentiment on the front of my card and I found one in my stash that was ideal for this card. Especially since the bike trail we ride on is very scenic. Decided to stamp it inside a cloud with the blue-green ink that matches the bike and the layering panel. Adhere it with dimensional adhesive. The cloud is part of the clouds & sun die.

And that is my card for this week. I hope I have given you some inspiration on another way to use this new wedding die. See you next Saturday.

Chocolate pocket card

Hi, Janja here!

Autumn not only brings us cooler days, but it also makes beautiful warm colors and an abundance of crops for winter days.
Glowing autumn colors found place on chocolate pocket card, which I share today with you.


For chocolate pocket card we need:
- white cardstock for the pocket card base
- patterned paper
- white and color cardstock
- ribbon
- Distress ink: Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Moved Lawn, Vintage Photo, Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany

Cut out cute scarecrow with the harvest scarecrow die. Use cardstocks in different colors, shadow edges with Distress inks and assemble a scarecrow.



Prepare also die cuts with dies: give thanks, garden accessories (fence) and grass, trees & vines (grass) and shadow them with Distress inks.


The base for chocolate pocket card is a white cardstock. Measure the size of a chocolate bar and add 0.25" (0,6 cm).
This is my size of white card base: 11.8 x 7.7" (30 x 19,5 cm). Folding measurements are: 3.75", 4.25", 8", 8.5" (9,5 cm, 10,8 cm, 20,3 cm, 21,6 cm). For the corner flap trim cardstock to size: 3.3 x 1.7" (8,4 x 4,3 cm).


Fit a ribbon to tie on the card base and cut a patterned paper. Shadow the edges with Distress ink Vintage Photo and fasten them on the card base.


Glue corner flaps to the card base.


Chocolate pocket card is ready to decorate.


On the inner side add the text area. Use the 2nd die from stitched wide rectangle frame set and 6th die from rectangle set.


Decorate the chocolate pocket card.





That's all for today. I hope you like it.

Cardinals and birdhouse

Hi, Janja here!

Snow covered grass and bare trees do not offer much comfort to the birds, which are looking for food in our garden in the cold days. Birds will thank us if we hung on a tree a birdhouse with seeds in late autumn.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- kraft cardstock : 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- patterned paper: 4 x 4" (10,2 x 10,2 cm)
- white cardstock: 4.5 x 4.5" (11,5 x 11,5 cm)
- white and brown cardstock
- stencil-snow
- white texture paste
- snow marker
- painting knife
- Distress ink: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Black Soot, Tumbled Glass, Broken China
- Distress marker: Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Black Soot

With two largest dies from basic sets: circle and stitched circle, cut opening in white and kraft cardstock. I like the color of craft cardstock and how it gives a homely feel to the card.
Cut the cardinals and birdhouse from white cardstock with the die cardinals & birdhouse and shadow them with Distress inks.


On kraft cardstock place a stencil and apply a white texture paste over it.


While the snow is drying, cut a bow and tape. For a tape use the die stitched wide rectangle frame. Shadow and attach them to the snow-covered cardstock.



Cut out branches and fence from brown cardstock with the dies: winter branches and garden accessories.
Apply snow with a snow marker.


Assemble the card.



I would like to remind you on our challenge #5 - birthday card. You still have time to share your projects with us. 

That's all for today. Thank you for stopping by.
