DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 8)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. This is our last day of DT samples using the new Magic Garden release. If you have missed any of the posts, just look back on the Blog for some fabulous projects and cards.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies. 

So let's get started with our projects for today. It's a Fairy garden house theme today.  

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Cottage w/Petal Roof die and Fairy Garden Flowers die to create this super cute card. This cheery card is sure to brighten anyone's day. The sweet fairies look so contented fluttering above their little cottage.  Her magical scene is framed using the Wacky Stitched Rectangle die. Notice how she placed her sentiment inside a speech bubble. It gives the effect of the fairies sending a greeting.    

Sample 2:  Our last sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Magical Forest, Fairytale Birthday and Forest Critters dies to create a beautiful birthday card. Love the little mouse and birthday cupcake she brought to the house party. The glitter cardstock adds a magical touch to the card. So perfect for a little (or big) girl. Lots of detail with this die but as you can see the effort is so worth it for the resulting card.

Well, that's it for our group posts . We hope that we gave you some ideas for different ways to use these new dies. And, remember you can also check out DT samples on our FaceBook page and Instagram gallery.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 6)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.
We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. Today we have a framed wall art and a card. So let's get started with the samples for today. 

Sample 1:  Our first project today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Flower Pot House and Fairy Garden Flower dies to create another beautiful framed art piece, Check out another of her projects here. She used a stencil for her "welcome" phrase. This would be perfect as wall décor in your family room or guest bedroom. How about as a gift for a new homeowner and don't forget Christmas gifts.  So many possibilities. 

Sample 2: The next and last sample for today is one that I  (Mary Marsh)created, also using the Flower Pot House die.  When I saw this die it made me think of my hubby. He is an avid gardener and has flower beds all over our yard. Friends call our house the "flower house".  I love to cut them and give bouquets to our friends. So getting a Thanksgiving card from us that depicts a flower pot house would not be out of the ordinary (LOL)! I used only sunflowers since that represents the fall season. I also used fall colors for the card.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you some ideas for this new die. We still have 2 more days of group samples so stop by again tomorrow. You can also check us out on FaceBook and Instagram .

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 5)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Stone Fairy Door, Mushroom Fairy Garden and Mushroom Garden and created a beautiful framed art piece. She started with distress oxide inks and then built the cutest fairy garden scene with these dies.  This would make a wonderful gift for a special friend or if you make handmade Christmas gifts this is a great idea.

Sample 2:  The next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used the Gnome on Tree Stump and Tree with Tire Swing to create a fabulous card of encouragement. Such a wonderful way to let someone know you care. The stenciled a ray of light around the gnomes lantern adds a unique touch.  Don't you love the caring, tender look on the little gnome's face?

Sample 3: The next and last sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. using the Wishing Well and Fairy Garden Flowers dies. When I saw the wishing well die, I thought of a bridal shower card and also a get well card. Today I went with the get well card idea.  I used some cloud designer paper for the background. Stamped the get well sentiment and the Wishes phrase is from the Coffee & Cocoa Warm Wishes die. This is a sweet way to send get well wishes to someone that is under the weather or battling a major illness. It lets them know you care.

 

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you several ideas on fresh ways to use the new dies. We still have 3 more days of group samples so stop by again tomorrow. You can also check us out on FaceBook and Instagram

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the Tire with Tree Swing die to create a fun card that reminds you of the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Her background was created using distress inks. She framed the design with the Wacky Stitched Rectangle & Pierced Wide Rectangle dies to bring the focus to the die cut. A great way to let someone know you are thinking about them.

This would be so perfect for a bridal shower or even a wedding card.  The sweet little fairies and color scheme just add to the whimsical appeal of the card.

A Fairy Happy Birthday!

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne and today I'm featuring a card made with the new Magical Garden dies.  These adorable dies are 25% off on the website for a limited time.

I'm trying to make more birthday cards this year and these cute fairies went perfectly with the sentiment I had.  One more done!  For the layout I used the sketch challenge this week at Splitcoaststampers and for the colors I chose some designer paper and used the colors from it.  I thought the clouds and sprinkles went well with the fairies.

I started by cutting the pieces in white and vanilla card stock, using ink and sponge daubers to color the pieces.  I used the vanilla for the fairies skin and the under part of the mushroom cap.

I assembled and glued my pieces together on a silicone mat.  This allows the assembled element to dry and prevents it from sticking to my paper or table.

I decided to make an A6 card - 4 1/2 x 6 inches.  I cut one panel this size, a strip 1 1/2 x 6, a rectangle using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies, and a white square using the third largest of the Stitched Squares dies.

I then heat embossed my sentiment in white on the scalloped panel.

I glued the white square on top and added my fairies and floral pieces.  The fairies and mushroom caps are covered in several coats of Wink of Stella.  I used gold Wink of Stella to add a few "drips" from the watering can.

I adhered the panel and the strip to the card base along with a piece of ribbon.  Then I used foam tape to pop the panel up from the front of the card.

Since fairies are magical creatures that seem to beg for sparkle, I added a few sequins to the scene.  In this photo you can really see the Wink of Stella.

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Don't forget to stop by the store and check out all the new dies!
