Tickled Pink

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today.  I am in love with all the little pigs from the new Country Farm release.  This release features the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Chicks to Cows!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. 

I started this card by cutting out the Piggy w/ Crate from white cardstock and used Distress Oxide inks to color.

I colored the pig using the Tattered Rose and then used a sponge dauber to add some shading with the Vintage Photo.

I cut a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches from floral designer paper.  Using the largest of the Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and Stitched Squares I cut out two white squares.  I used the banner from the Windows Slimline die to cut the striped banner.

I stamped my sentiment centered on the bottom of the plain stitched square and then ran it through an embossing folder to add texture and contrast with the scallops.

I mounted the floral paper on a card base and added the squares.  I tied a coordinating ribbon around the center.

My last step was to add the banner and pop up the pig using foam dots.

This little pig is super cute and can be used for many occasions.  I picked this sentiment since I could used it as a congratulatory or birthday card.

Be sure to visit the online store where the new release is on sale for a limited time.

A Warm and Toasty Holiday

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a card that made my mouth water while creating it!  S'mores bring back many of good memories for me - from Girl Scout camp when I was young to sitting in front of our fireplace and making them when our girls were little.

This card was fun and easy to create.  Starting with a sketch is always a time saver and I found one on Splitcoaststampers.

I cut three pieces of cardstock and paper.  First I cut an A2 size panel cut from Crumb Cake,  I then used two different patterns and cut a rectangle using the second largest of the Nested Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies and a square using the middle of the Nested Stitched Scalloped Square dies.  I found this paper in my stash and although it's not Christmas, it fits the theme perfectly.

I used Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo to antique all the edges and then I heat embossed the sentiment with dark brown embossing powder.

For my marshmallow snowman and s'more cookie I cut all the pieces from white cardstock.  I used markers to color the nose, hat, scarf and chocolate.  I also antiqued all the edges of these pieces.  After all, s'mores should be toasted!

Finally I popped up my snowman using foam dots.

Peeking Pup!

Hello My Scrapping Cottage Friends!

Design Steps:

 1.  Using white card stock and the Puppy in Garden Cart die cut out all of the pieces.  I did use a piece of red polka dot DP and recut the umbrella pieces

2.  Using Tim Holtz inks and a small sponge applicator color and shade all of the pieces.  Next assemble them using a fine tip glue

 3.  Use a white A2 card base, a piece of red card stock cut 4 x 5 1/4, a piece of polka dot blue DP cut with a Stitched Scallop Square and a piece of green card stock cut with the Spring Grass die

4.  Attach the ribbon toward the bottom of the red card stock and add your sentiment

5.  Next add the grass to the bottom of the polka dot blue scallop square.  And then glue your garden card to the square as shown.  Pop the blue square to the red panel just above the ribbon and then attach to the white card base.  Lastly add the tiny black rhinestones to the pup's eyes and some tiny red rhinestones to the yellow flowers and your card is complete
