Spring Blossoms Thank You

Hello Friends,

It is Pam on the blog today!

Before we get started on today's card I wanted to let you know we are having a St. Patrick's Day day sale with savings up to 60% off selected stamps and dies.  The sale ends today at 9PM Pacific Time.  So hurry on over to the online store just click HERE.

For the card today I made a big beautiful flower arrangement for a special thank you card!



Design Steps:
1.  Start with an A2 white card base, cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (run it through an embossing folder that looks like linen) and a piece of dark brown 3 1/2 x 4 1/2.  Glue the white to the white card base and then the brown to the embossed white slightly toward the top of the card as shown above
2.  For the blue panel I used a piece of light blue mulberry paper 8 1/2 x 11 cut into 4 equal pieces.  I then stacked them together and lightly sprayed both sides with water just so the paper is damp not soaked.  Place them in your embossing folder and then run through the machine 

3.  After you run the mulberry paper through the machine let it dry.  After it is dry use the largest Pierced Rectangle die and cut it with that die.  This makes a really cool effect and textured feel

4.  Cut all the pieces in white using the Spring Flowers in a Pot die.  After you cut them out color with copic makers.  This takes a little time but I love the shading you achieve
5.  Begin building you flower pot on the embossed blue mulberry paper.  I put a large dimension dot under the pot to give it a rounded shape
6.  Start to arrange you flowers using some dimension dots under some of the flower and glueing others flat
7.  After your flower pot is complete put some glue on the back of the mulberry paper and adhere it to the dark brown card stock on the front of the card
8.  Using the Expressions Thank You die cut out 3 on whtie card stock.  Glue the 3 together for added strength and dimension.  Glue them to the bottom of the pot and your card is complete

Shaker Pillow Box - VIDEO


Hi, is Vladka and welcome to my new post where I will show you how to create this Pillow shaker box, using CottageCutz dies.


Here is list of all supplies I used:
Cardstock: Blue Cardbase to die cut the pillow box and additional piece of blue paper
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distress Ink: Peeled Paint
Other: acetate sheet, fun foam, scissors, Sizzix machine, liquid glue, double sided tape, gold glitter

It is always fun to create shaker card and I was thinking that it would be even more fun to create shaker box. So, when I saw Pillow Box Plus die I immediately knew I wanted to try my idea. It is easy to do it, you just need to follow the steps. So, I decided to make the video and here it is:


I love new dies from This N That release, so many beautiful dies and really useful too. Pillow Box Plus die can be really useful to create small gifts for different occasions. And I love all this small additional dies which come together with the main box die.


Thank you for stopping by and for checking the video. And don't forget, third CottageCutz challenge is waiting for you. This time theme is POCKET. You can linked your project here. And please, use only Scrapping Cottage dies.

Thank you cards

Hi, Janja here!

May is considered the month of fertility and love, the month when the buds burst open and the flowers bloom. Perfect for my first post in May to use dies from the flourish & flowers release.


For card we need:
  • white scalloped card base: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm), folded
  • colored cardstock: 4 x 4" (10,1 x 10,1 cm)
  • white cardstock: 3.5 x 3.5" (8,9 x 8,9 cm)
  • glue
  • Distress inks: Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velvet, Cracked Pistachio and Salty Ocean
  • Memento inks: Angel Pink, Cantaloupe, New Sprout, Pear Tart 
From white cardstock cut out a square with a cross-stitched square die (the largest die from the set) and spray it with Distress inks or use a stamp. With foam tape, fasten it to a color coordinated cardstock.
Now we start with cutting out leaves and flowers. I chose two new dies: leaves & stems, and Doodle flower set 1.


When we have flowers and leaves attached to the background, cut out the word thank you in two colors and with a lag also paste it on the background.


As with the thank you card wasn't a lot of work and I was pleased with the pink version, I made two more in other colors.




I hope, I am given you a little inspiration.


Dies, which I used at work: 





Thank you for watching.

Mr. Snuggles and Flower Pot

Hi, all. Vladka is here today. 
Spring is here and also April and funny weather. On Monday when I was creating this card, we had 10 minutes of sun, 5 minutes of rain and then also a little snow. Everything in one. It was really funny and I also had fun with this card. Do you still remember cute little Mr. Snuggles
I've combined this die with Bunny Stuck in Flower Pot and Thank you Expression die. Mr. Snuggles is peeking from the pot and wants to say thank you. Everything was colored with Distress Inks and I used my favorite kraft paper for this card. I hope you like it!

Groundhog

Hi, all! Vladka here today.
Today I have this cute little Groundhog for you. Everything is cut out from kraft paper and colored with copics or Distress inks. 
To complete this card, I used also Vine and Thank you expression dies. Spring release is full of fresh and cute images for Easter and for any other occasions. This Groundhog is perfect also for Birthday card, for example. I hope you like it. 
Have a great day!
