Extraordinary!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam creating with you today!

Today,  I am using the Narwhal die.  This sea creature is so unique I thought it would be a perfect die to use to let a friend know how unique and extraordinary she is!! So the card I am making is one of encouragement with a little whimsy thrown in.  I am hoping it brings a smile to her face!

Design Steps:

 1.  Using the Arctic Snowy Tree die cut 2 trees using green and white card stock.  Using the Snowy Mountains die cut it out using gray and white card stock

 2.  Assemble the trees and the mountain using a fine tip glue

 3.  Cut a piece of blue card stock 4 x 5 1/8, cut a 3 x 5 1/8 piece of green card stock and then make a freehand cut rolling hill on the top.  Use of piece of wave DP 3 x 5 1/8 and cut out the top of the waves

 4.  Cut out a piece of green card stock 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 for the background.  Glue the waves to the bottom of the blue card stock leaving room to slip in the green grass and on the green grass glue it down leaving room to slip in the mountains

5.  Next slip in the 2 pine trees and add a row of the wave DP at the bottom.  Glue just the bottom of that piece so you can slip in the Narwhal

6.  Using the Arctic Whale and Narwhal die cut the Narwhal out of gray card stock and his tusk out of white.  Shade the Narwhal with gray ink and his tusk with a light tan ink.  Use a black marker for his eye.  Slip the sea creature into the waves and add your sentiment

Missing You!

Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I did a type of card I enjoy doing most. More elements combined together into a lovely scene. This time it's a winter scene with arctic animals.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Arctic Moose & Polar Bear, Arctic Baby Foxes, Tree Stump & Log for Peekers, Arctic Snowy Trees),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (18x13 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (17x12 cm, 14,5x9,5 cm),
- craft card stock,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- sentiment stamp,
- embossing ink,
- white embossing powder,
- heat gun,
- white acrylic paint,
- sponge,
- brush,
- scissors,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all the animals and trees.

Then I used white acrylic paint and sponge to add a bit of snow.

Then I cut and colored all the elements for the background. I colored the biggest rectangle. For the other element I just used a bit of blue color around the edges. I used a trimmer and scissors to cut the paper.

Next I did the sentiment. I embossed it on a craft piece of paper.  used white embossing powder.

And then I just assembled all the pieces together and adhered it on the card base. And my card was done.

I also did the inside of the card for more interest.

Hope you have a nice Sunday. See you again next week.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  This is Sukie and I have a fun card to share on this New Year's Day created with the new Arctic Animals die release.  I combined several of the new dies on one card!

I wanted to create a snowy scene for the sweet Arctic Animals so I went with a blue and gray theme. The fun sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Farm Fresh stamp set which was perfect for my card.

I shaded all of my die cuts with some Oxide Inks and also used the inks for the two hand cut pieces at the bottom of my card base.

The scene was built with the hand cut hills and Snowy Mountains. Next, the Arctic Snowy Trees were tucked in behind the mountains.

The puffin from the Arctic Birds set was placed in front of the mountains and the Baby Walrus was added on the left hand side of my card.  The husky is from the Husky w/Sled die set.

The Arctic Baby Fox was tucked in next to the husky and the penguin from the Arctic Penguins & Igloo die set.

My card was finished off with the sentiment flag which was trimmed to fit in the upper right hand corner.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Have a happy and prosperous New Year!

Fox All Occasion Card

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne sharing an all occasion card using one of the adorable dies from the new Arctic Animals release.  This release has a great variety of animals that can be used all year long.  And for a limited time they are on sale for 25% off.

This fox card was very simple to put together and can be used many ways.  I have left the inside blank and can use it for a birthday, thank you, get well, congratulations...you get the idea.  He is wonderful for any gender or age!

To start I cut the fox and trees from white cardstock and colored them using Distress Oxide inks.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and cut it into a strip 1/2" tall by about 6" wide.  I left it long so I could cut to fit the card.  The pine pieces were cut from an older die (Santa's Bag) but any die with  small pieces of greenery will work.  The are cut from white and colored with the DO inks.

I cut an A2 panel from patterned paper that reminded me of snowfall, and two circles using the 4th and 5th largest dies from the Stitched Circle set.

I assembled the card, adhering all to the card base and then used foam to pop the sentiment up just a bit.  I finished by using some Stickles on the "berries".

2.  Assemble the trees using your markers to color the trunks

 3.  For the background use a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of blue glitter card stock, the sky is a piece of DP cut 3 3/4 x 5 and the snowbanks are cut free hand out of white glitter card stock
