Cherry Cupcake!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans!

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today.

The Birthday Release has really given me the opportunity to stay ahead of all the birthdays I have coming up.  There are a number of sweet yummy cupcakes in this collection and each one of them lends itself to some bright cheery colors.

Designer Steps:

 1.  Using the Birthday Cupcake w/Cherry die cut all the pieces out in white card stock

2.  Color all of the pieces with your favorite makers.  I added score lines to the cupcake bottom and glossy accents to the cherry.  Glue all of the pieces together after the Glossy Accents is dry

 3.  Use a white A2 base card. Cut out a green piece of card stock just slightly smaller then the white card base. Then cut a piece of red checked DP 4 x 5 1/4. Glue the Red checked DP to the green card stock and then glue to the card front

 4.  Cut a piece of cherry DP 5 1/8 x 2 1/2 and then layer it on top of green card stock. Make 2 small banners with DP and adhere to the top of the cherry panel.  Add a ribbon and that panel is complete.  Glue the panel to the front of the card just slightly left of center as shown above

 5.  Cut a piece of green card stock 3 1/4 x 2 1/2 and run it through a dotted embossing folder.  Layer it onto a piece of white card stock

6.  Glue the green embossed panel as shown above

7.   Add the cupcake using dimensional tape.  Cut out the word celebrate twice using the Celebrate Expressions die.  Glue the two Celebrates together and then glue to the card front

Animals Celebrating

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a simple and fun card for you today. Again using one of the new Birthday Release dies.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Party Animal Bus, Celebrate Expressions),

- Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Shabby Shutters, Broken China, Barn Door, Fired Brick, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Hickory Smoke, Picked Raspberry) and Oxides (Broken China, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint),

- white card base (15x15 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts,

- silver pigment ink,

- black pen,

- plastic stencil (clouds),

- brushes for background,

- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all the pieces for the bus. I used black pen for the eyes.

Next I cut and colored the sentiment.

And then I made the background directly on the card base. I used brushes for coloring. I made the clouds with a stencil and grass just by coloring on the paper with the brush. I used Distress Oxides for better effect.

And when I had finished my background, all I had to do was glue the bus and the sentiment on top. And my card was done.

That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
