Toucan Celebrate Your Birthday!

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! We have a new collection of Slimline Designs. Your slimline cardmaking is going to get a lot easier. We have 20 new designs and they are on sale. You can get each individual die for a limited time 25% off. The dies have appeal for all styles of cardmaking. So check them out and make your selections.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Lattice Slimline die and paired that with the Toucan from our 2020 Beach & Tropical release. I created a birthday card for my daughter-in-law who celebrates in August.  I have plenty of time to make sure it arrives on time (LOL)! I am notorious for getting cards in the mail at the last minute! So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Design Steps:

I started my card by cutting the lattice in white cardstock. For the background I used sky blue designer paper. I am also using a white card base.

Card Base: 3 3/4" x 8 3/4""
Lattice: 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"
Blue Designer Paper: 3 3/8" x 8 3/8"

Next, I started building my outdoor scene. I cut the toucan with cardstock following the packaging colors. I also cut some extra greenery using the Tropical Bouquet die.
For my sentiment I used 3 different stamps and by masking and the help of my MISTI, I stamped on 3 lines in a grape ink. The banner is one of the extra dies that was included in the Windows Slimline die set. 
Now that all my elements are cut I am ready to start the card assembly. I attached the blue designer paper to the lattice with double sided tape. Then the toucans were attached with dimensional adhesive. I have them standing on a green tropical leaf.  
Next, I attached the banner sentiment and the two tropical leaves. 
The Birthday phrase is from the Fairytale Birthday die. I cut two for more dimension in a grape cardstock.
To finish off my card I attached the image panel to the white card base. I added some additional tropical greenery in the corner. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new slimline lattice die with dies you already have in your collection. See you next Saturday.

Make A Wish

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another simple card for you today. This time I made a cat, planting flowers and herbs.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Garden Cat w/ Wagon, Planter Box & Seeds, Fairytale Birthday),
- Distress Inks,
- white card base (10,5x21 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- black pen,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the cat and the planter box with all the plants.


Next I did the same with the sentiment.


Last I did the background. I colored the grass on the ground and cloudy sky in the back.


And my card was done.



And this is all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.

Baby Animal Cupcakes Birthday

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog. 

The new release of Birthday dies have been restocked in the online store. So if you didn't get the ones you wanted previously, all 25 designs are in stock. This release is filled with cute little whimsical animals, birthday cakes, cupcakes and birthday phrases. Everything you need to create some outstanding birthday cards.

Today, I am featuring the Baby Animal Cupcakes die and created a birthday card for a little girl. So let's get started with some details on my card.

Step 1: I had this sketch pinned on Pinterest and thought the circle layout would work well to display my 3 cupcake images. I would be able to use ribbon and add a sentiment.

I chose this pretty pink designer paper for the card background. Little girls and pink -how can you go wrong. I paired that with matching pink (blushing bride) cardstock and my card base is a bright bold pink (melon mambo).

melon mambo card base: 4 1/2" x 5 3/4"
blushing bride layering panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
designer paper panel: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
stitched circles: 5th largest die ( 2 1/4")
I cut the baby animal cupcakes in shades of cardstock just following the colors of the packaging. I used melon mambo, pretty in pink, powder pink, granny apple green, gorgeous grape and ivory.
Next, I cut the Make A Wish sentiment and the candle. I decided not to use the balloon because it seemed a bit to busy with that element.
Step 2: Now that all the card elements are cut, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the designer paper to the pink layering with double sided tape. I placed my circles with the same adhesive and then added my ribbon.
Added my cupcake images to the circles also using double sided tape.
 The sentiment was added with Ranger multi medium matte. I like this adhesive because it dries clear.
To complete my card, I attached the image panel to a melon mambo card base. I thought the right lower side of the card needed something small added just to balance the card. I used 2 metallic enamel dots in granny apple green. I added a 3rd one where the 2 lower circles intersected for the flower element of the sketch.
Well, that's it for me for this week. See you next Saturday!

Party Animal Bus (new die)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog. 

We have a brand new release of Birthday dies in the online store. There are 25 new designs and they are currently on sale at 25% off. This release is filled with cute little whimsical animals, birthday cakes, cupcakes and birthday phrases. Everything you need to create some outstanding birthday cards.

Today, I am featuring the Party Animal Bus. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Step 1:   As I have said so many times before, having a layout in mind at the start of my card is always a big boost for me. It jump starts my creative thought process. I love working with the sketches that are out there in the online world. That way I just choose the colors and designer paper and I am good to go. 

I had this sketch saved on one of my Pinterest boards.  I wanted to use festive designer paper and this sketch was perfect for it. The dimensions are already provided and that's a plus. I changed the dimensions just a bit.

This also fits with the inspiration challenge #710 on Splitcoaststampers. 
Gray Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Pennants Designer Paper Layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Coral Center Panel: 3" x 3 5/8"
Confetti Image Panel: 2 7/8" x 3 1/2"
Step 2: I cut the party animal bus using various cardstocks and used the die packaging for the colors. 
I cut the Birthday phrase in coral cardstock and it's from the Fairytale Birthday die. 
Used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment on coral cardstock in black ink. It helps with stamp placement and also if you have to repeat stamp an image. 
After I stamped I cut it to 1/2" x 4"  and then snipped in the flag ends. 


Step 3:  I am ready to start my card assembly. Attached all the layers with double sided tape. 

The image is adhered with dimensional adhesive. I wanted it lifted off the confetti designer paper. 
To complete my card, I attached the birthday phrase with Ranger multi medium matte. And, that's my card for this week. 
I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new super cute birthday die. See you next Saturday!
