Card 1: Our first sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She created a fun fold stand up card and using the new Safari Adventure Gang Who's watching who! This adorable gang is having a wild time on their people watching safari! Notice the binoculars and camera the animals are holding!
 
The woven designer paper and stenciled sky are a perfect fit for these safari friends. The "Go Wild" phrase is from the new Safari Phrases die. This would make for a great way to say "Happy Birthday", you only need to add your message and signature!
Here is a photo of her card closed. 
Card 2: Our next sample is from Anja Zurga. We are doing a little change up and featuring a Christmas card from our Christmas Part 3 release and it's on sale as well. She used the Snow Babies die to create this sweet card. This pair is so precious. Her beautiful nighttime sky was done with distress oxide inks and flicks of white paint to give the illusion of snow. The sentiment is heat embossed to make it stand out. 

Card 3:  Our last sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Safari Monkey die to create a card of encouragement. Couldn't we all use a card like this one during these trying times? The vine she added all around the oval frame just adds to the fun vibe the monkey is creating.  The finishing touch is the sentiment which is a fun play on words.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some creative ideas for different ways to use these new Safari dies. We will be back on Sunday with more samples from this release. Check out the online store for the big Black Friday sale with savings of up to 85% on selected dies.

DT Samples- Spring Day 5

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Friday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Spring dies release.

They are in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They will be perfect for your Easter and Spring card making.

We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Easter or Spring cards using these new dies. The cards today are both in a whimsical style. So let's get started with some details on the cards for today.
 
Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the new Spring Frogs die to create her card. We get an extra day this month and it will be Saturday, February 29.  This only happens every 4 years. How often have you said "if only I had another day". Well now you do and Jeanne is celebrating that extra day.
 
The frog, lily pad and cattails are cut from white cardstock and colored with Distress Oxide inks.  The "water" behind the frog is a patterned paper as is the green background.
 
 For the sentiment, she stamped the "happy phrase" from a birthday sentiment set and then created the "leap day" using a small wood mount alphabet set. She stamped each letter at an angle for added interest and the up and down stamping adds to the leap theme.
 


 
Card 2: Our next card for today is from Anja Zurga. She used the new Rooster & Chick die to create this cute outdoor scene. It could be used for a variety of card giving occasions. Think about - thank you, thinking of you, get well or even a Father's Day card. If you changed the sentiment it could be Mother's Day or a birthday card.
 
The images are cut in white cardstock and then colored with distress inks. The rise and shine phrase is from the die of the same name.
 
 
Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new Spring dies. We will be back again tomorrow with our final day of group posts. And, if you are thinking of getting any of these new dies, they are on sale for a limited time in the online store.

DT Samples- Spring Day 4

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Thursday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Spring dies release.

They are in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They will be perfect for your Easter and Spring card making. We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Easter or Spring cards using these new dies. So let's get started with some details on the cards for today. We have 2 different styles today- a religious as well as a whimsical theme. 

Card 1: Our first card today is from Pam MacKay. She used the new Calla Lily Cross die to create this beautiful Easter card. It's a representation of the Christian faith and Easter. 

She used thick gold foil and put it through her die cut machine with the embossing mat instead of the cutting plate. It came out beautifully and with such elegant detail. The cross is framed with the pierced ovals die.  Her background designer completes her card. 

Card 2: Our next sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Bunny Truck and Bunny Treats dies, along with the clouds from Spring Frogs to create this fun outdoor scene. For the  grassy knoll she used designer paper and a plate as a template for the curve. The sky background is also designer paper. This would be a great card to make multiples and send out for Easter.

Group Samples -Christmas Part 2

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Monday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the Christmas Part 2 release.

There are 34 new designs in this release. This release has something for everyone. So if you prefer a more religious tone to your cards- we have you covered. If you like a more whimsical design featuring Santa, reindeer, gnomes, moose or even a hot chocolate theme you will find some really cute dies.
  
We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Christmas cards using the Part 2 dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the ever so cute Moose Pulling Gnome Sled to create her sweet Christmas card.  The pierced rectangle die was used as the background for her image. She created a mask for the snow and then a stipple brush to ink up her sky. Some white acrylic paint mixed with water was used for a snowy sky effect. This card would make a great Christmas card for all age groups.
Card 2: Our next sample today is from Janja Albreht. She used the Warm & Cozy Cocoa dies to create 2 amazing circular easel cards. This type of fold always has such wow appeal. Her images are mounted on burlap which just adds to the charm of her cards. This would be a great card for your coffee loving friend , or for a coffee gift card or even a winter birthday.
Photos of the easel cards when they are opened. Here is a link to a tutorial for circular easel cards.


Card 3:  Our last sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Holiday Gnomes w/Fox  & the Happy Ho Ho Ho dies to create an action wobble card. The curved panel, addition of the designer paper and the enamel dots add to the attraction of her whimsical card.
Check out this short video clip to see the cute little Gnome do a wiggle.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these dies. Make sure you visit the Blog this week, we have a new release of dies coming and there will be group posts starting on Wednesday. The DT has made some awesome samples.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 8)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. This is our last day of DT samples using the new Magic Garden release. If you have missed any of the posts, just look back on the Blog for some fabulous projects and cards.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies. 

So let's get started with our projects for today. It's a Fairy garden house theme today.  

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Cottage w/Petal Roof die and Fairy Garden Flowers die to create this super cute card. This cheery card is sure to brighten anyone's day. The sweet fairies look so contented fluttering above their little cottage.  Her magical scene is framed using the Wacky Stitched Rectangle die. Notice how she placed her sentiment inside a speech bubble. It gives the effect of the fairies sending a greeting.    


Sample 2:  Our last sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Magical Forest, Fairytale Birthday and Forest Critters dies to create a beautiful birthday card. Love the little mouse and birthday cupcake she brought to the house party. The glitter cardstock adds a magical touch to the card. So perfect for a little (or big) girl. Lots of detail with this die but as you can see the effort is so worth it for the resulting card.
Well, that's it for our group posts . We hope that we gave you some ideas for different ways to use these new dies. And, remember you can also check out DT samples on our FaceBook page and Instagram gallery.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Stone Fairy Door die and the Home Sweet Home Phrase (older release) to create this pretty one layer card. She used distress oxide inks to color the fairy door image. The path, grass and sky were masked and colored also using distress oxide inks. How perfect would this be for a new home owner or someone who has just moved. You could also use it as a party invitation just by changing the sentiment.

Sample 2:  Our next sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the Mushroom Garden die and created a birthday card with a fancy fold.  She cut the front panel in half and added the designer paper. The stitched scalloped square was used to showcase the mushroom images which were colored with Copic markers. The color scheme makes this such a soft and feminine birthday card. The sweet little ladybug is an ideal topper for the mushroom.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for more amazing samples.
