Sweet Treat Screen Divider Card

Hi, Lois here with my regular Monday post.  It's hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner.  I don't know if you're like me, but I make Christmas cards all year long.  It keeps the panic at bay!  I have a Christmas card today made with a fun new die from CottageCutz, Cocoa and Sweet Treats.


To start my card, I cut my cardstock as follows:

White - 5 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Green - 3 1/2" x 4" (3 panels)
Patterned paper - 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" (3 panels)


I scored the long white panel at 3 1/2" and 7", creating three sections.  Using a Martha Stewart snowflake border punch, I punched along the top of the white panel.  I then lined up the top of the largest Rounded Square die along the bottom edge of the first panel and cut out the "legs" of my screen.  I then duplicated this process on the second and third panels.


I constructed my screen by gluing the patterned paper onto the green panels, which I then glued to the white screen.


Then came the fun.  I die-cut all the pieces from the Cocoa and Tasty Treats die -- some from colored cardstock and the majority from white cardstock.



I colored the white pieces with Copic markers and constructed my images.  Note the top of the cup for the first panel.  It is cut from a small piece of vellum.


All that remained was to glue the cups and treats to the panels and stamp the sentiments.


Be sure to check out all the dies in the new Christmas release over on the CottageCutz website.  Dies used on my card today are:

Valentines, Part 1

Hi, Janja here!

I wish you all a happy new year full of joy, and creativity.

In the next three posts, I'll share with you a few simple cards created by new CottageCutz dies - Valentines. These dies will be available in store in the next few days.
Motives that are cut out with these dies are very cute, and they speak for themselves.
Let us show someone that we love. Such small attentions are never too much.
To warm up a little, today I will show you two cards from Valentine's series, that I have created.


Supplies:
- white card base: 4.1 x 5.4" (10,5 x 13,7 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3.7 x 5" (9,5 x 12,7 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress ink: Worn Lipstick, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Hickory Smoke
- glue
- double-sided adhesive tape
- adhesive foam pads

Prepare two card bases from white cardstock for both cards. On one card base cut out corners with corner punch. Trim patterned papers, and cut out with dies all the elements that will be placed on cards.

CottageCutz dies: typewriter, love postage, sweet love borders.



 Assemble the card as on photo.



CottageCutz dies: telephone, love hearts, rounded square set (7th die from the middle of a set), rounded rectangle set (the largest die from the set).


Cut out polaroid photo frame. 




Completed card. 



Thank you for coming over and have a nice day.

Cupcake Matching Memory Game


Hi everyone, Janja here. 
For my first post at Scrapping Cottage blog I decided to make a memory game.
We already played and it was a lot of fun; searching for pairs of small cupcakes.

 
I chose a die from the new CottageCutz Basics set - rounded square set. I cut 60 squares (20 white, 20 from patterned paper for backside and 20 colored for front sides, 2 for each color).
After cutting, it was time for gluing. 
On each white square I placed a patterned back paper and a colored front paper.
 
 
While I waited for glue to dry, I made 20 cupcakes. I cut them with die, stitched cupcakesin different colors as well. Of course it was important to make pairs of the same cupcakes. Finished cupcakes were attached to the front sides and our game is finished. 

 
After playing the game, I did not want to lose the squares so I made a custom box, using a ruler, scissors and a paper cutter. For the box cover I printed a sign in Word and attached a cupcake.

I hope you enjoyed my company.
