Thank You Pocket

It's Anja for my Sunday post. It's the second time in a row that I don't have a card for you. This time I made a small pocket that can be used as a little pocket for a short note or maybe for a little money prize. I decorated it with country farm dies. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Country Farm Stable, Dog in Cowboy Boot, Fancy Pocket Plus),

- Distress and other dye Inks,

- white card stock for die cuts,

- patterned card stock for die cuts,

- black pen, 

- white ink,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- scissors,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the horses and the stables. 

Next I cut and colored the boot. 

Then I cut the pocket and colored it around the edges. I adhered the pocket together and added colored pieces to both sides. 

Last I stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I added the sentiment to the front side of the pocket. 

And my thank you pocket was finished.

 

 

And that's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Herd the News!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a card featuring dies from the new Country Farm release.  These die sets are absolutely adorable and perfect for so many occasions! This card will be perfect to have on hand for a celebratory occasion!

I used the following die sets on my card:  Stacked Farm Animals, Curly Sheep & Lamb, Country Farm Stable and the Old Farm Fence.  I used colored card stock for all of my die cuts and inked them on the edges for some dimension.

The rustic papers with a bit of country charm are from my stash and were perfect for my card.

I created my card base by layering the 2 panels of paper with the wood themed panel on top.

The grass was affixed to the bottom portion of my card with the farm fence tucked in behind.

Next, the adorable cow was placed on top of the grass as the focal point of my card.

I proceeded to build the stack of farm animals by adhering one on top of another.  The little lamb was nestled next to the cow.

A fun sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and adhered in the upper corner of my card.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Hay There

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends 

IT IS NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Cowboy Chicks!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions.  Today, I am using the Country Farm Stable.  This fun fancy fold hello card will be going to someone that loves horses!

Design steps:

1.  Start with a white piece of card stock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Score at 1 3/8 and 2 1/2.  Flip the card over and repeat the scoring on the other end of the card. Valley fold the first score line and then mountain fold the next two and the final score line is a valley fold as shown above

2.  Using the Country Farm Stable cut out all the pieces with a variety of colors: green, brown, cream, silver, light brown, red, and yellow.  Shade the pieces and glue together using a fine tip glue

3.  For the front of the card cut a piece of cloud DP 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and a piece of green card stock 3 1/4 x 1 1/2.  Use the Slimline Grass die for the background grass.  Cut a rectangle of brown using the second from  the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die and shade with ink

4.  Glue the cloud DP down add the grass strip and then glue down the brown rectangle.  Next pop up the stable door with the horses.  Add the green grass piece to the bottom of the stable door

5.  For the sides of the fold cut 2 pieces of cloud DP 1 1/4 x 5 3/8 and 2 pieces 1 x 5 3/8

6.  Use some small pieces of green cut with the Slimline Grass die.  2 cut at 1 1/4 x 1 and 2 cut at 1 x 1 mine are just slightly different as you can see because the grass die has a slope in it

7.  Add the red flowers with little pearl centers and the butterflies.  Stamp and layer the sentiment and your card is complete.  Just for your info you sign your card on the back!
