Bear With Pumpkins

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have an Autumn card for you today. I created this scene using a cute little bear, surrounded with pumpkins.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Birthday Party Bear, Autumn Centerpiece, Autumn Sweets, Fall Phrases),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (14,5x14,5 cm),
- brushes,
- adhesive foam pads,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the bear. I used black and white pen (not photographed) for the Bear's eyes.

Next I colored all the pumpkins and the leaves.

Then moved to the background. I used brushes to color. Last I colored around the edges with some orange.

Then I just needed the sentiment. I used lighter one for coloring and darker to emphasize the edges.

And then I just arranged and glued all pieces together. I used adhesive foam pads to glue the bear. And my card was done.

Before I go I just want to remind you to check the store for all the new goodies that are still available for 25 % off.

Have a nice Sunday.

Autumn Treats!

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

Happy Thursday to you! It is Pam sharing with you on the blog today!  I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful fall weather and all of the colors that are starting to appear on the trees.  I am continuing to make fall cards not only for Halloween but for Thanksgiving as well.

My card today features the yummy cupcakes from the Autumn Sweets die and the lovely scripts are from the Fall Phrases die.

Design Steps

1.  Cut all of the pieces using the Autumn Sweets die out of white card stock

2.  Use your favorite markers to color all of the pieces

3.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue.  I like to assemble them as soon as I get them colored so I don't misplace any of the small pieces.  Set the cupcakes aside

 4.  Use an A2 white card base.  Fold the front flap in half as shown above.  Cut 2 brown pieces 2 x 5 1/4 and glue to the front.  Then cut a brown piece 5 1/4 x 4 for the inside flap

 5.  Using designer paper cut 2 pieces slightly smaller then the front flap brown cards stock.  Cut one piece slightly smaller then the inside brown card stock

 6.  Using the Stitched Scalloped Oval cut out 2 ovals using lined DP

 7.  Using the Fall Phrases cut out the enjoy and fall out of brown card stock

8.  Glue one of the cup cakes to the oval and attach it to the front flap making sure you only put the glue on one side of the oval.  Also glue down the enjoy to the front flap

9.  On the inside of the card glue down the other cupcake to the lower right side of the card and then add the oval making sure it will be hidden right behind the front flap oval.  Add the word fall and your card is complete

I hope you take some time to really enjoy all of the fall colors!  And you also use that as an inspiration to make some beautiful cards!

Autumn Bake Sale

Hi, Lois here with my regular Monday blog post.  Before I get started though, let me tell you about a huge sale in the CottageCutz store.  It's their Fall into Autumn Sale, where you can save up to 50% on most CottageCutz designs.  The sale ends at 9:00 pm PDT, so you need to hurry if you want to get in on the savings!

I made a Side Step Card today, using several of the new Autumn dies from CottageCutz.  

To start my card, I cut cardstock as follows:

Wood plank cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Cream cardstock pieces - 7/8" x 5 3/8", 2 7/8" x 3 1/4", 3 3/8" x 7/8", 3 3/8" x 2"

Orange plaid paper pieces - 3/4" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" x 3 1/8", 3 1/4" x 3/4", 3 1/4" x 1 7/8"

A side step card is a relatively easy fun fold.  To show you how to cut and score, I made a little diagram.

After I cut and scored the wood plank cardstock piece, this is what it looked like.

I then glued the orange plaid pieces to the cream pieces and adhered them to the card base.

I then cut the Autumn Sweets and Pumpkin Pie and Latte dies from cream cardstock.

After coloring the pieces with Copic markers, using the packaging as a guide, I constructed each of the images.

I also cut the word "fall" from the Fall Phrases die and  rolling pin from the Bake Shop die and stamped the words "bake sale," using my old Snap Stamps.

I then adhered all the die-cut pieces to the card base, gluing the "fall" and rolling pin and using foam pop dots on the others . . .

. . . and my card was complete.

Here is a side view of the card.

Hello Autumn

Hi!

It's Anja here. Autumn is in full bloom. I just love all the colors surrounding us right now. And I wanted to capture it today.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Fall Fox & Hedgehog, Fall Phrases, Fall Leaves, Autumn Sweets, Circle Set),
- Distress Inks (Wild Honey, Fired Brick, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Aged Mahogany, Brushed Corduroy)
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for backgound (14,5x14,5 cm) and die cuts,
- heat gun,
- brush,
- black pen,
- water spritzer,
- paper glue.

First I die cut the fox and the hedgehog. I colored it with Distress Inks. I used black pen for the eyes.

Then I colored the small leaves.

And then the big ones. I really love this die.

And then I colored the sentiment.

Then I made the background. I used Distress Inks, mixed it with water nd spritzed it on the paper withe the brush. I dried it wth the heat gun.

I cut out the bggest circle from the set.

And then I colored around the edges. I colored from light to dark.

And when I had everything colored I arranged it and glued it on the card base. And this is my fnished card.

Before I go I'm inviting you to The Scrapping Cottage store to check Fall Into Autumn Sale and get all the dies I used for less.

Have a great Atumn Sunday and see you again next week.
