Hello Tags

Hi!

It's Anja here. For today's post I made cute little hello tags. I used different "bugs" dies to make a trio of Spring tags.


For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Busy Bee, Doodle Bugs, Mail Tag Set, Dogwood Branch),
- patterned, colored (black, red, yellow, green, turquoise) and white card stock for die cuts, 
- black pen,
- Wink of Stella glitter brush,
- liquid pearls (black and yellow),
- pieces of ribbon,
- embossing mat,
- embossing tool,
- paper glue.

First I cut the tags. I used white cardstock for smaller tags and patterned card stock for bigger tags.


Next I cut hello phrases and the bugs.


I used black pen for the eyes and glitter brush for the wings to add more interest.


Then I cut the branches and the flowers. I cut two bigger and two smaller flowers of each color.


Then I embossed the leaves and the flowers using the embossing tool and mat.


When I had all the pieces ready I assembled the tags together. When flowers were on its place, I added a bit of liquid pearls in the center of each flower. I let it dry.


When the tags were finished I just added the ribbon. I used two types of ribbon for each tag.




Before I go, I just want to invite you to the store to check out all the new dies from the Gardening release. Can't wait to start using them.

Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Little Princess


Hi!

It's Anja here. I made another card using new Magical Fantasy Designs. I combined it with a few older dies and made a card for a little princess.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Little Princess & Roses, Princess Dress-Up, Springtime Window, Ivy, Dogwood Branch),
- Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed, Spun Sugar, Peeled Paint, Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, Tattered Rose, Shabby Shutters),
- white card base (21x10 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background,
- grey card stock for background,
- bricks embossing folder,
- white pigment ink,
- gold pigment ink,
- black pen,
- cutting knife,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the window.


Next I cut and colored the sentiment.


Then the flowers and the princess.


And last ivy leaves ...

... and two branches with flowers.


Next was the background. I cut and embossed two pieces of grey paper (10x3,5 cm). I used white pigment ink to color the bricks.


Next I cut and embossed white piece of paper (10x14 cm). I cut a square out of it using a cutting knife.


And when I had everything cut  and colored I arranged all the pieces and glued it on the card base. And my card was made.



This is all from me for today.

Have a nice Sunday.

Mother's Day is Coming!

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you today!

Thanks for taking time to stop by today!  We have a brand new release of Llama & Botanical dies available in the online store.  And the dies are currently on sale for a limited time at 25% off the retail price.

The new dies have a couple of super cute Llama images as well as cactus and other succulents.  And don't miss the sweet hummingbird and garden bird too!  This new release is so versatile!  They can be used for all kinds of cards and other projects!

I am using the new Dogwood Branch!
Design Steps:
 1.  Using the Dogwood Branch die cut out all of the pieces in white
 2.  Using the Double Stitched Square die cut out the third largest in white.  Then keep the die intact with the paper.  Place a cloud stencil over the top and sponge on the blue ink
 3.  Pull the square away from the die and it will give you a nice clean edge
 4.  Use your Copic Markers to color the branch and leaves
 5.  Use your Copics to color all of the flower pieces also
 6.  I used a shaping tool to give the flowers a little bend
 7.  Glue the flower layers together
 8.  Glue the branch to the cloud covered square as shown
 9.  Arrange the flowers as shown
 10.  Use an A2 white card base a slightly smaller piece of DP and then a piece of blue cardstock cut to 3 3/4 x 5.  Run it through an embossing folder for some texture
11.  Use craft foam on the back of the cloudy square then glue to the card front.  Stamp your sentiment and layer onto DP glue to the front of the card.  Add the bow and your card is complete!

Llamas & Botanicals Card Samples (Part 1)

 
Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We have a brand new release of Llamas & Botanicals dies available in the online store. And the dies are currently on sale for a limited time at 25% off the retail price.

The new dies have a couple of super cute Llama images as well as cactus and other succulents. And, let's not dismiss our sweet hummingbird and a great garden bird image. There are so many different ways to use these dies and the Design Team will be featuring them in our posts over the next couple of weeks.

We wanted to get a jump start on samples so today we are showing you 4 cards using different dies from this release. You can also see a couple of other samples here and here.

Card 1: This first sample is a card from Pam MacKay. She used the Garden Bird die to create such a pretty and soft feminine card. Her design could easily be used for a variety of occasions - a birthday-thinking of you-get well or even a sympathy card.
Card 2: The next sample is a card from Lois Bak. On this card, she used the Succulent Terrarium die to create a lovely thinking of you card. Perfect for anyone but especially someone who has succulents in their home. They are so popular right now and I see them all over the garden nurseries.
Card 3: This next sample is another card from Lois Bak. She has been a busy stamper creating all these beauties for your viewing pleasure. For her beautiful easel card she used the Iron Stand w/Plants dies and for the easel bumper she used one of the Garden Frames die. These easel cards always make for such a beautiful presentation and Lois didn't disappoint us with this one.
Card 4: Our last sample for today is this pretty hello card from Janet Axtman using the Dogwood Branch die. She watercolored her blossoms, framed them with bling and added her gold hello for a sparkling presentation.
 
That's our card samples for today.  Hope these samples have sparked some ideas for ways to use these dies. They are so versatile and could be used for a variety of occasions. And, remember they are currently 25% off for a limited time in the online store.
