Love You Mom

Hi! It's Janja here with a card for moms.


- CottageCutz dies: Polar Bears w/ Birch Trees, Arctic Polar Bear & Cub, Tree, Fall Fox & Hedgehog, Love You Mom Phrase
- blank card: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- markers
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

I cut out all of the pieces from colored cardstock. I used different shades of ink pads and markers to further emphasize the cutouts.




I cut out the phrase Love You Mom twice. 


Then I trimmed the patterned paper and prepared a blank card.


The cutouts are attached to the background with glue and self-adhesive pads.


Completed card. 


Have a nice day.
Janja

From Our Home To Yours


Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I have a bigger project for you. As one of the last projects for this year I made a Christmas scene that will decorate my craft room in this holiday season. I had a frame in my shelf for quite some time and decided to use it for my project and give it a winter touch.


For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Farm Truck w/Tree, Build A House Set 2, Build A House Accessories, Tree, Christmas Trailer, Fireplace w/ Accessories),
- Distress Inks and Oxides,
- black card stock for background (26x21 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- white acrylic paint,
- brush,
- sponge,
- plastic stencil (bricks),
- silver pigment ink,
- white pigment ink,
white picture frame (20x25 cm),
- pencil,
- black pen,
- scissors,
- paper glue.

First I cut all the pieces. I cut additional pieces for the inner side of the windows and door. I colored it with yellow.


Next I colored the parts of the house. I used plastic stencil to make it look as it's build out of bricks.


Then I colored all the other pieces and glued it together. I used white acrylic paint and a sponge to color around the edges to look like snow (not photographed).


The I made the background. I used black cardstock and colored it with blue Oxide inks and white pigment ink. For the finish I splashed it with acrylic paint to look like snow is falling.


And then I cut the bottom part of the scene. I cut the snow ground out of the white card stock. In the end I just adhered all the pieces together and inserted the scene in the frame.
 

And my project was done.




That's all from me for today. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope you can spend it with people you love.

See you again next Sunday for my last project in 2019.

CottageCutz Focus Week - Holiday Treat Holder

Hello and welcome to our Holiday Treat Holder Focus Week. 
Vladka here today!

I decided to create something for Thanksgiving and came up with picnic basket. I created template by myself and after the base was cut out, I cut out also a looooot of stripes and weaved them together to get the look of real weave basket. I did this separate, not directly on my basket. I glued weaves parts afterwards and cut away the excess. I did the same with basket cover, which can be open on each side or removed completely to easily get the treats. After basket was finished, I distressed all sides with brown distress inks. And of course I used a lot of different dies from On the Farm release and all of them are listed at the end of this post. So, if you are interested, just click on the picture and this will get you directly to the die in Scrapping Cottage store.

And this is not all my friends. Also this time we will be giving away a gift certificate for $15.00 to shop at the Scrapping Cottage Store.
