Night in the Woods!

Hello Scrapping Cottage fans!
My name is Pam MacKay and this is my first time posting as a new design team member. I am just thrilled and honored to have been selected and I can't wait to share with you. The dies and stamps from The Scrapping Cottage are just incredible!

For my first project I decided to make a card for a friend who loves camping and the beauty of nature. She is in need of some cheer and a little time to relax. So when I saw this adorable little cabin I knew it would make a perfect card for her.

Design steps to make this card:
Cut an A2 size kraft card stock base
Cut a 5.25 x 4 inch piece of gray card stock
Cut a 5 x 4.75 inch piece of designer paper and glue to gray card stock then to the card base

Use the 4.25 x 3.25 Double-Stitched Rectange Die and cut the kraft card stock to make the base for your woodland scene
Using the Woodland Cabin (4 x 6) die begin cutting all the piece to create your scene
    I cut all the pieces and then began the assembling. After I got the assembling finished I inked the edges of each piece to give them a little depth and dimension
    I started making my scene by glueing down the background pieces first and all of the layers of grass.
    After the background was complete I popped up the cabin with dimensional tape
    I added more trees to the sides of the cabin by just cutting apart some of the trees from the background and it worked great!

    I just absolutely love how this little cabin in the woods turned out!  I hope you will give it a try!!

    2. Fantastic card featuring the CottageCutz Woodland Cabin die! The scene you created is gorgeous and the designer paper is perfect for the appearance of a starry night. I agree with Janet that one can imagine stepping inside and relaxing for a weekend! Love the card, Pam! Great artwork!

    3. What a wonderful framed forest scene! I love the way you used the same DP for the background as you used for the sky. It ties it all together. TFS!
