Come And Play With Us

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a simple card for you today, combining two cute animal dies from the latest release.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Lamb & Chick, Duckling with Kite),
- Distress Inks,
- craft cardstock for die cuts,
- craft card base (12,5x17,5 cm),
- bristol paper for background (11,8x16,8 cm, 11x16 cm),
- pink card stock for background (11,5x16,5 cm),
- black pen,
- white pen,
- brush,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored both ducklings and the sheep.


Next I trimmed the background paper.


I used the smallest white paper to color. I did a bit of green in the bottom for the grass. And I used a brush to make it look like the sky.


And then I put all the pieces together and this is my finished card.



Before I go I just want to remind you there's a Home Crafting Days Sale going on on The Scrapping Cottage online store. Great chance to get some new goodies to craft with.

Stay safe and have a nice Sunday.

Anja Z.

Blue Skies Ahead!

Happy Friday!  I hope everyone is staying well.  It's Jeanne today with a simple card using one of the adorable new duckling dies from the Spring release.
I used a card sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as the basis for my card.  Card sketches make designing a card quick and easy!
To start, I cut the pieces from white cardstock and colored using Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Seaside Spray inks along with Smoky Slate to shade the duckling and Crumb Cake for the kite supports.  I decided to make my duck white instead of yellow.  I guess I wanted him to look more like a full grown duck rather than a duckling.
I used an A2 white card base and cut a 2 3/8" x 4 1/4" panel from Daffodil Delight and a 2 1/4" x 4 1/4" panel from a blue watercolor patterned paper.
I stamped my sentiment on the blue panel and then glued that to the yellow panel and card base.
This card sketch is great and works for SO many of the spring dies.  It is very quick and really makes your die cut the focal point!

Duckling with Kite

Hi, Janja here with you. For my post today I have a card with a lovely duck that could be used for many occasions, including Easter holidays.


- CottageCutz dies: Duckling with Kite, Spring Buddies (flowers), Stitched Square Set, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set
- blank card: 5 5/16 x 5 5/16" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

First I cut a duck and flowers out of colored cardstock. For extra shading I used colored ink pads.



I cut the paper with tiny flowers to the desired size. I then cut out a white frame and a square of patterned paper. I used the largest die from both sets.


Completed card.



Have a nice day.
Janja

Have a Dandy Day!

Hello!  This is Sukie and I'm sharing a sweet card for my design team post.  The new Spring die release has some of the most adorable die sets to use for those Easter creations however with a few slight adjustments, the dies are versatile for all types of occasions.
I cut out the ducks from the Daffodil Duck and Duckling with Kite die sets.  All of the die cuts were shaded with some Oxide Inks.
I stamped a sentiment from the Scrappy Moms retired "Walking on Sunshine" stamp set on a piece of card stock.  The stamped rectangle was adhered on a strip of card stock to create a sentiment sign for my card.
A bit more Oxide Ink was used to create a soft background for my card background.  I went with a combination of 2 colors for a CAS look.
Once the background was done, I simply adhered the adorable ducks on my card base for a whimsical appearance.
The sentiment sign was canchored in the middle of the card between the 2 ducks for a finishing touch.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

DT Samples - Spring Day 6

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Saturday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Spring dies release. 

They are in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They will be perfect for your Easter and Spring card making.

We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Easter or Spring cards using these new dies. The cards today are both in a whimsical style and all about the little ducklings. So let's get started with some details on the cards for today. 

Card 1: The first sample today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the new Duckling with Kite die. It's a spring themed card that I am going to be using for a friend's birthday that happens to be the first day of Spring. But it could also be used for a welcome baby card or a thinking of you. There are lots of possibilities for this die so let your imagination go on this one.

I used various colors of cardstock for the images. Added an embossed panel for texture and interest. I completed the card by scattering a few enamel dots.


Card 2:  Our next sample for today is from Janja Albreht. She used the Splish Splash Duckling die to create this super cute card.  This would be another sweet card to welcome a new baby, a Mother's Day card and with the sentiment she used this could be a great retirement card.   
 
Patterned Paper helped to create the sky and grass. She spritzed some light blue glimmer mist on the background.

 
Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new Spring dies this past week. If you missed any of the group posts, click here, here, here, here, and here.  And, if you are thinking of getting any of these new dies, they are on sale for a limited time in the online store.
