Berry Best Birthday Slimline

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

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! We have a new collection of Slimline Designs. Your slimline cardmaking is going to get a lot easier. We have 20 new designs and they are on sale. You can get each individual die for a limited time 25% off. The dies have appeal for all styles of cardmaking. So check them out and make your selections.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Circle Windows Slimline die and the strawberry image that's included  to make a birthday card for a friend. She celebrates her special day at the end of the month. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps:
I started my card by cutting the windows slimline in white cardstock. The panel is 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
I wanted to use a strawberry themed designer paper in the windows, and I cut the circles with the 4th largest die from the Circle set. The circles are slightly larger that the opening so they will fit nicely behind. 
The strawberry image is part of this new die and I cut it in a poppy red cardstock and then again in a green cardstock for the hull. 
Now that I have all the card elements cut, I am ready to start card assembly. The card base is 3 3/4" x 8 3/4". It will still fit in a #10 business envelope for mailing or you could make your own. 

I attached the designer paper to the circle openings with double sided tape. Then this panel was attached with the same adhesive. After I attached the panels I realized I hadn't stamped my sentiment. I put it in my MISTI and stamped. I wasn't sure if I would have to ink a few times since I was stamping on 3 layers of cardstock. But one inking was fine. 
Next, I attached the strawberries with dimensional adhesive. I decide to cut three small vines so the strawberries weren't hanging in mid-air. I used an older Strawberry die. 

To finish off my card, I scattered a few green glitter enamel dots for some added interest. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new die. That's it for me for this post. I will see you again next Saturday.

Flower Thanks

 
Hello CottageCutz Fans! Thanks for taking the time to visit with The Scrapping Cottage Blog. It's Mary Marsh here with the Wednesday edition of the blog.

For my card this week, I have created a thank you card with several different dies from CottageCutz. My idea was to create a leaf frame with a flower surrounding it. So let's get started with the details of how this card is put together.



 
I started off my card with some background stenciling. I chose a diamond patterned stencil and some light green ink. Using a sponge dauber I sponged the pattern  onto my cardstock going both darker and lighter.


My next step was to create my leaf frame. I did that with the Cottage Cutz Square Set Dies. I used the 3rd and 4th largest dies for my frame. Ran them through my die-cutting machine and the next photo shows the frame that I ended up with.

 
The open frame is what I used for my card. The smaller square I will use on another project.
 
At this point, I die cut my flower with purple cardstock using the Cottage Cutz 3D Flower #3. The leaves with a light and dark green cardstock using the Cottage Cutz Strawberry Petites die. I layered the leaves around my frame and assembled my flower. My thanks word is from the Cottage Cutz Thanks Die and I cut in the same purple cardstock. I cut it twice and layered for more dimension.
 
Also, to give my flower more dimension, I used foam squares between each layer. This next photo gives a close up view of the flower.
 
 
To complete my card I added a butterfly cut in light pink from the Cottage Cutz Butterfly with Flowers Die and then scattered some candy dots in light pink for added interest. That's it for me for this edition. So until next time........inky hugs!

CottageCutz Petites/Bella Strawberry

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all! 
Today's card was designed for The Scrapping Cottage, using the Beautiful CottageCutz Petites! And Really Reasonable Ribbon's Trim, Flowers, and Ribbon!


Card Measures 5 x 5

I am having so much fun using these Beautiful CottageCutz Petites. Its been years since I have made 4 x 4 cards, and they are super fun and easy to make.
On my card here, I used the Sweet CottageCutz Strawberry Petite. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits, and LOVE how it goes perfectly with the Design Paper I had picked up months ago at American Crafts.

Supplies Used:
CottageCutz/Strawberry Petite
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Moss Green Leaves
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Delicate Stitched Satin Pearl Pink
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Sweetheart Blossoms
American Crafts Design Paper
American Crafts Card Stock
Martha Stewart Around the page punch
Copics for coloring
Stamps/Cricut

 I used the Moss Green Leaves trim to wrap around the front of my card, then I tied it , and added a Delicate Stitched Pearl Pink bow, topping that with the beautiful Sweetheart Blossoms that I LOVE!!!  
I hope you enjoyed my card for today, as this one was super fast and easy to make!
Thank you for looking!!
hugs to all,
Cheryl
