Spring Bunny Car

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Tuesday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand-new Easter release with 17 new designs available in the online store. There is something for every card maker with faith-based dies, beautiful floral images, whimsical with bunnies and frogs and several lovely birds and butterflies.

You will be able to take the images beyond the Easter or Spring season. And for a limited time you can get individual dies at 30% off. Today for your viewing pleasure I am using the new Spring Bunny Car die. I needed one more Easter card for the two little ones who live next door.

I started my card using the colors from this week's color challenge #942 on Splitcoaststampers. I am the hostess and I chose granny apple green, pumpkin pie & balmy blue for the color trio. Optional is to use 1 or 2 additional colors. I chose polished pink and gorgeous grape.

I wanted the bunny to be driving his car on a "road" so I used a piece of black cardstock and added a strip of white. I used the Slimline Clouds cut in white cardstock and then sponged with the balmy blue ink. The Easter Wishes is from the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die. It's retired and currently on sale at 60% off.  

I stamped a sentiment on the card front in the polished pink color to complete this card. 

That's it for me fore this post. See you on Saturday!

Bunny Baker

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Friday edition of the Blog.

The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there.

And there is still plenty of time to order and get them for your Easter cardmaking. Today for your viewing pleasure, I have a whimsical card for Easter using the ever so cute Spring Bunny Baker die. I made this one for my neighbor who is an avid baker. I have enjoyed many of her homemade treats, and I thought she would really like this card. 

I used the colors from this week's Splitcoaststamper color challenge #887. The color trio is real red, petal pink and pool party. 
I used the challenge colors to cut the elements of the Spring Bunny Baker die. Plus, some allowed neutral colors for the bunny, her mixing spoon and the card base. I thought the pool party needed a darker shade to make it pop. So, I used a dark gray cardstock.  

My card is a little larger than what I usually make, but I needed that because of the layout I used. 

Gray card base: 4 3/4" x 6"
Pool party layer: 4 1/2" x 5 3/4"
Pool party designer paper: 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" 

I used the largest of the Stitched Oval die and cut in pink cardstock and then the largest of the Oval Set die and cut in white cardstock. I attached my image to the circle with dimensional adhesive to give it some depth.

The sentiment is from the 2019 Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die. It is still available in the online store. I cut it in pink cardstock and used Art Glitter Glue to attach to the image panel. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. I will be back tomorrow for my regular Saturday post.

Bunny Tree Cottage

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Tuesday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store. It's our Spring Release with 22 new designs. Everything you need to create Spring, Easter, Birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thinking of you cards and so much more.

The Design Team has been showing samples using these new dies. So if you haven't seen them check back on the blog for lots of great ideas. The dies are currently on sale at 25% off so check all the new designs in the online store for some great selections. 

The Safari & Circus releases are still available at 25% off as well. There is also a St Patrick's Day sale going on until March 18th. You can save up to 60% off on selected designs.

Now onto my card for today. I am featuring the new Bunny Tree Cottage die and I created an Easter card. No tutorial today but I do have some card details for you. 

My card colors are from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #835. I am the hostess and I chose purple posy, night of navy and coastal cabana for the challenge colors. Optional is to use designer paper. 
For my card I started off stenciling a brick background - soft suede ink (neutral) on kraft paper (neutral).  The bunny window scene is cut in the challenge colors . I used designer paper on the bunny outfits and the wallpaper (it's a bit light in this photo).

I used the Spring Grass die and cut in a dark green cardstock (another neutral). I added some Easter eggs (2018 Mr Peter Rabbit die) and tulips (2017 Hello Spring die). My bunny kisses phrase is from the 2019 Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes die. I cut in coastal cabana cardstock and shaded with the same color ink.

The card base is 4 1/2" x 5 3/4". I didn't have cardstock that size so I used a hinge technique to make it larger. Instructions for the technique are here.

Well, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you a fresh idea for a way to use this new die. See you on Saturday!

Basket Of Eggs


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday day edition of the Blog.

The new release of Spring dies are available in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They are perfect for your Easter and Spring card making.

Today, I am featuring the new Basket of Eggs die to create an Easter card. So let's get started on some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:
I started my card this week with the card colors. Jeanne was hosting a color challenge on Splitcoaststampers, and her choices of daffodil delight (yellow), calypso coral and seaside spray (light blue) worked well for an Easter card. 
She also had an optional to use Washi Tape on our card. I just happen to have some wide washi tape in these colors, and I used it for my card background. This tape is 2 3/8" wide so it gives nice background coverage.  

I cut the basket of eggs in the challenge colors and used some designer paper cut with the 4th largest Stitched Circle die as the backdrop. 
I decided to stamp some splatters down the right side of my card in the coral color and added yellow ribbon to the left side for added interest. The Easter phrase is from the Bunny Kisses  & Easter Wishes die. I cut it 3x for more depth in coral cardstock. 
Yellow Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Image Panel" 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

To complete the card, I scattered a few coral enamel dots. Well, that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you a new idea for using this lovely Easter die. See you next Saturday!

Bunny Kisses

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans.  It's Jeanne today with a quick, graphic Easter card.  I love cards that I can easily make multiples of and this is one of them.
I started by cutting an A2 card base from green card stock, a white panel 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and a gingham panel 5 1/4 x 4 inches.
I then cut a complete set of bunnies from both blue and pink card stock using the Spring Bunnies Trio die.
Because I only needed one bunny for this card I now have extras I can use to make more of the same card (or design a new one!)
I used the largest blue bunny with pink ears and cut a frame using the middle of the Stitched Wide Circle Frames.
I cut an opening in the gingham panel using the middle of the Stitched Circle dies.  Since I used gingham it was fairly easy to get the circle equidistant from the top and right side by counting the squares.
Then I lightly traced the circle on the white panel so I would know where to place my bunny.
I glued it down, added the pink ears and used a pen to color the eyes and nose. I also erased the pencil line although it really wasn't necessary.
After I added the top panel and the frame, the pencil would not have been seen anyway.
I cut the sentiment from green card stock that matched the base and used a self adhesive sheet on the back.  I find this makes it easier to adhere thin sentiments to my card.
I used foam tape to adhere the assembled panel to the card and added some sequins in a matching purple.

This card is simple to make and with cutting the multiple bunnies at one time you could easily make several cards quickly.

Easter Wishes!

Good Morning Friends!

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

The weather here in South Carolina has been just beautiful! Not to hot and not to cold! I love to walk in this kind of weather.  The only bad part is the biting bugs are starting to appear.  And the mosquitoes love me! They even get me through my clothes! Oh well on to the card for today.  I have a bunch more Easter cards to make so let's get started on this one.  I used a couple of dies from the new Spring Release.

Design Steps:
 1.  Use an A2 purple card base, cut a piece of white card stock 3 x 5 1/4, use the Fancy Floral Lace Border die and cut it out of white card stock
 2.  Glue the border to the white piece of card stock as shown above
 3.  Glue the white card stock with the border die to the purple card front
 4.  Use purple card stock and cut out the Easter wishes using the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die
 5.  Use the Peeking Egg Bunny die and cut out all of the pieces several times using green, purple, blue, pink, yellow and gray card stock
 6.  Shade the different pieces and color the nose and eyes black using a maker.  Then start to assemble all the pieces
 7.  Pop dot the bunny to the left side of the card and glue the Easter Wishes to the right side of the card as shown above.  I decided to add some small black rhinestones to the eyes for some dimension
