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.

Gnomes Bake Shop

Hi, Lois here with my Monday card.  Before showing the card, however, I wanted to let you know that the Christmas Release (Part 3) and new Halloween dies are on sale at 25% off on the CottageCutz website.  I hope you check them out.  There is also a cute new die, Dakota the Husky, which is available only in the CottageCutz store.

Now, on to my card!   I'm a big fan of fun-fold cards, and today's card is a Center Step Card.  If you're unfamiliar with this technique, you can find a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.  This is my card for today.



Cardstock used for this card are as follows:

Brown - 5 1/2" x 11"
Red - 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
White - slightly larger than 3" x 4"
Patterned paper - 3/4" x 5 1/4" (3 pieces)


I die cut the pieces for the bake shop from brown and white cardstock.


Using Copic markers and some distress ink, I colored the pieces and constructed my bake shop.


I then cut the gnomes from white cardstock . . .


. . . then colored and constructed the figures.


Following the directions from the Center Step Card tutorial, I cut, scored, and folded my card base from the brown cardstock.


After die-cutting the white piece of cardstock with the second largest Wacky Stitched Rectangle die, I layered the red and white pieces onto the center of the card; then glued the three strips of patterned paper -- trimming down the vertical strips to size.


I then added the bake shop and gnomes to finish the card.

September Group Post Part 2

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from Part 2 of the 2018 Christmas release. There are 29 new designs in this release. 

And, speaking of new releases Christmas Part 3 has just been released along with some new Halloween dies. You will find these in the online store at a 25% off sale. There is also an exclusive die that can only be purchased through the online store. Check out the sweet Dakota the Husky die.

The DT will be showing samples soon with these new dies. Today, we have a group post showing samples from the recently released Christmas Part 2 dies.

Card 1:  This first sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. Using the ever so cute Bake Shop die and pairing it with the Baking Gnomes die, she created a fabulous Christmas side step card. The Gnomes are busy stirring their batter and giving us an idea of what could be taking place inside this bake shop. How perfect would this card be for your baker friend or your child or grandchild?
Card 2:  The next sample is from Pam MacKay and she has also created a fancy fold card. Her technique is a Z Fold or Bridge card. This fold packs a lot of wow and it lays flat for mailing. She used the Holiday Pickup Truck die for her card.
 This 2nd photo shows the bridge section of her card. She has created a wintry scene for her truck and placed it on a "road" that continues with the addition of the bridge. You can see the dimension it adds to her card with this extension piece.
Card 3: This next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used the cute Nordic Gnomes die to create these stunning Christmas tags and placed them on a background of beautiful designer paper. Wouldn't one of these look awesome on that special Christmas gift you are giving. The lamppost and bow are from the Christmas Mice die.  
Card 4: Our last sample for today is another is from Janja Albreht. She used the loveable Peeker Snowmen die to create this charming Christmas card. Her snowy background was created with a stencil and 3D texture paste. She has her snowmen peeking over a big icicle for a creative touch.  
That's our samples for today. Hope the team has given you some new ideas for using these dies.
