Happy Birthday Koal-ity Friend

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

We have a new release in the online store. It's our Australian Friends with 14 new designs. The dies are perfect for Mother's Day, Baby Cards, Kids & Adult Birthdays, Thinking of You, Thank You - just about any occasion you would need a card for.

They are currently on a limited time sale of 30% off the individual dies. There is also an anniversary sale going on right now with savings up to 75% off. Shop early for best selections.  

Today, for your viewing pleasure I have created a birthday card using the new Koalas die. So let's get started with some details on how I created this card. 

Design Steps:

I started my card this week using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #891. We were to use rococo rose, pretty peacock, so saffron and just jade. Any neutrals are allowed as well. 
Rococo Rose, Pretty Peacock, So Saffron, Just Jade

I cut the koala image in a gray cardstock and sponged the edges for a bit more depth. The eucalyptus tree I cut from white cardstock and colored with Copic and Stampin' Up markers in the challenge colors. 
For my card base I used an espresso cardstock. It's a rich shade of brown that complemented the rose shade nicely. I had an ombre designer paper in the rococo rose color and then used the Pierced Wide Rectangle Frame die to create a frame. 
I stamped my sentiments in a chocolate chip ink. I laid the koala image down first on the background so I could get my placement correct. Then I used the MISTI for stamping. When I saw the new dies being released I bought a few stamp sets with some punny sentiments this is one of them. 
Now that my card elements are prepared, I am ready to attach my Koala image. 
To finish off my card I attached the image panel to the Espresso Brown card base and scattered a few yellow enamel dots to get that color in for the challenge. Well that's it for me for this week. See you next Saturday!

Spring Chicken

 Hello Friends

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I hope you are wearing green!!

Today, I am making a thank you card because my stash is running a little low.  I decided to use the cute Spring Chicken for my card.  I love the little sign she has with her.  You can really put any sentiment you want on it.


Design Steps
1.  Use an A2 white card stock base and cut a piece of blue 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 run it through a cloud embossing folder
2.  Using the Spring Chicken die and cut the pieces out of tan, rust, brown, pink, yellow, purple, red, and green.  Shade the pieces with ink and glue together with a fine tip glue.  Stamp your sign with Thank You
3.  Cut 3 white frames using the largest of the Pierced Wide Rectangle set.  Glue the frames together.  Use the Spring Grass die and cut it out using green card stock.  Glue the grass to the back of the frames

4.  Layer the back of the frame with dimension tape.  Adhere it to the blue cloud card stock
5.  Glue in the Chicken then the sign.  Finally add in the flower and the white ribbon bow. Glue the blue panel to the white card base and your card is complete

Bunnies Secret Cottage

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

Happy Monday!! 

It is Pam sharing with you on the blog today!

I am finishing up my Easter cards for friends and family.   So for today I am using Bunny Tree Cottage.  These little bunnies have a secret cottage in the woods.  There are so many wonderful details to this sweet die.  I am sure it will keep the recipient gazing at it for quite some time.


I cut out 3 frames using the largest of the Pierced Wide Rectangel Frame set.  Glue the frames together and cut out the pieces for the scene using the Bunny Tree Cottage die.  Shade and assemble your pieces
For the background I used blending brushes to create the sky and the area behind the door. I used an A2 card base and a slightly bigger piece of purple glued to the base.  Glue the background inked piece to the purple card stock and then pop up the frame scene on top.  I put a few more pop dots behind each bunnies head and some under the tree branch for support

Stamp the sentiment and layer it onto purple card stock then pop to card and you are done

I am just about done with my Easter cards and I have had so much fun deciding which cards are going to which family member.  I hope you are having fun crafting too!

Blessings and Take Care

Sweet Birthday Wishes


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.
The new release of Beach & Tropical dies are in the online store. We have 14 new designs in this release and they are currently on sale for a limited time at 25% off. 

They are so perfect for creating beach themed or tropical birthday cards, thank you, thinking of you etc. Let your imagination soar! The Design Team has been showing some great samples to spark your creativity. If you haven't seen them, look back on the Blog for lots of eye candy. 

For my card today, I am using the Tropical Fruit die and I created a birthday card for my sister-in-law's September birthday. 

I cut the tropical fruit in various cardstock colors and layered it on a soft seafoam background. I framed it using the Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame set and a light purple cardstock. Stamped my birthday wishes and added a few enamel dots to complete this card. 

I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this Tropical Fruit die set. See you on Saturday! We have our Christmas Release coming and I will be showing a card using the new dies.

Tropical Fishy!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam on the blog with you today!

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store.  This selection of dies features Pirates and Sea Creatures! There are 14 awesome designs in the collection and you are going to want each and everyone of them!!

Now onto todays card.  It has been really hot in Arizona. So the water in this picture makes me want to jump into our pool!!  I have been making a ton of hello cards lately because so many of my friends are still unable to travel.  I sure miss seeing them!  I am praying that this virus will soon just go away!

I am highlighting the new Tropical Fish die.  I love using bright colors and the tropical fish are perfect for these vivid colors.

Design Steps:
1.  Use and A2 white card base, a piece of white card stock 4 x 5 1/4, white frame cut with the largest of the Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame dies, a piece of green card stock cut first with the largest of the Scalloped Rectangle dies and then the center cut out with the largest of the Pierced Rectangle dies.  This will give you a piece of green scalloped trim
2.  On the piece of white card stock use 3 different TH blues inks to create the ocean.  Next spray with water to create the bubbles.  Use a piece of 2 1/2 x 4 inch brown card stock torn in half to create the sand.  I glued one piece to the blue inked card stock and the other to the back of the frame. Glue the green trim to the front of the frame

3.  Glue the blue inked piece directly to the card base.  Place dimension tape on the back of the frame and then adhere on top of the blue inked piece
4.  Using the Tropical Fish die cut out all of the pieces.  I used blue, teal, purple, light green, dark green, white, light purple, dark pink, orange, dark orange and yellow
5.  Shade the pieces using a variety of inks and then assemble
6.  Arrange onto card base and glue down some of the pieces and use pop dots on others.  All of the fish have pop dots behind them.  Stamp the sentiment and add glossy accents to the pearl.  Your card is complete!

By the Sea!

Hello My Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam on the blog with you this awesome Thursday!

Today,  I have a beautiful lighthouse scene to share!  This lighthouse looks exactly like the one on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.  If you watch the Heritage Golf Tournament you will get a glimpse of it!

Designer Steps:
 1.  Use the Lighthouse die and cut out your pieces: Rust, red, white, brown, and teal blue card stock
2.  Shade your pieces using a variety of Tim Holtz inks and a small applicator.  Next assemble the pieces using a fine tip, fast drying glue

 3.  For the base use a piece of white A2 card stock.  Cut out a white frame using the largest Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame die.  Next use the largest Pierced Rectangle die and cut on white card stock.  Place the third from the largest Pierced Oval die in the center of the pierced rectangle piece cut out the oval. Using the same oval die cut out a piece of cloud DP

4.  Glue the white frame directly to the A2 white card front making sure to center it.  Next put dimensional tape on the back of the white pierced retangle piece with the oval cut out.  And tape it to the middle of the frame as shown.  Put glue on the back of the DP cloud piece and push it down into the middle of the oval
5.  Glue down the hill behind the oval frame and slide in the lighthouse behind the hill.  Pop up the little house and then glue down the water.  Next on black card stock cut out two Happys using the Expressions Happy die.  Glue together and then glue on card as shown.  Stamp birthday and layer on red then glue to card as shown
