Camping Friends

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. I hope you have had or are having a wonderful Thanksgiving. We don’t celebrate it in the UK but I pass all my blessings on to you

So it’s Wendy with the Black Friday blog and what an incredible array of new dies we have, each cuter than the last if that is possible. So I’m going to start my tutorial just giving you the basics of how the base card was put together.

Firstly I took a piece of Bazzill Bling Shimmer cardstock. I layered approx. half the card with it

Next I cut out the ‘Grass Slimline’ twice so that I could layer them on top of each other, I have attached the bottom and sides of the hills with 1mm foam pads so that I could slot other elements in them. I also cut out the mountains 3 times with the icy caps because I am making a slimline card and needed all 3

I then layered these elements onto the base card before cutting out the remainder of items to populate my card. The mountains were layered behind the grass

The other elements I used on my card were as follows: 

‘Campin Out Bear in Tent’

‘Campin Out Campfire’

’Campin out Sun’

‘Campin out Trees’

‘The mug from ‘Campin our Bear in Log’ - I found an old heart die from my Cottagecutz stash to put on the mugs which I though was cute 

‘Campin Out Moose and Reindeer’

Here are some close ups for you. All elements were stuck down with 1mm foam pads to give a bit of dimension. I like the fact that they all look like they’ve just got up and are having morning cocoa :-)

 

To finish the card off I printed a sentiment and used a guillotine to cut it to size and here is your final card

I really hope you like the card and have as much fun with these dies as I did. I wish you a very happy weekend and hope you have plenty of time to craft. I shall see you on Tuesday for another blog post

Black Friday Release!!

 Hello Friends

A Very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!  If all the festivities are over it is time to get to those Black Friday sales and ours has already started.  With this adorable new release called Campin Out.  It can be used for almost anything especially those hard to make masculine cards!  Just check out the Black Friday info below!  

Today, I am using the Campin Out Fishing Raccoon and he is just so cute!  Plus I added the Campin Out Trees and the Sign from the Campin Out Campfire & Sign.  This is a birthday card for a friend who loves to fish! 

Design Steps:

1.  Start by cutting out the pieces using the Campin Out Trees, Campin Out Fire & Sign and the Campin Out Fishing Raccoon.  I used green, dark brown, light blue, kraft, gray, black, white, light teal and rust card stock for my scene.  Assemble your raccoon and the trees with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a 6 x 4 1/4 white base, 5 3/4 x 4 piece of yellow, 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of DP,  cut a piece of brown polka dot DP with the second from the largest Wacky Stitched Rectangle.  I used the Hill Slimline to create the brown hill and the waves in the lake

3.  Glue the yellow to the white base card, glue the DP to the yellow then add the retangle with the hills and the water

4.  Add the trees and the raccoon to your scene.  I glued them flat

5.  After the scene is complete stamp you sign and use pop dots to adhere to your card
