Fall Designs Group Post (Day 2)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. This post is featuring cards using the new Fall Release. There are 15 designs in this release and are available in the online store with special pricing.

The designs are so perfect for all your Fall projects- birthday, Thanksgiving, thinking of you, encouragement and home decor just to name a few. They allow you to add a beautiful touch of Fall to whatever you may be creating.

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. There are 3 samples in today's post, and we also showed 3 samples on Wednesday. See Day 1 samples here.

Now onto our samples for today. 

Card 1: Our first sample today is from Kristine Breach.  She created such a playful Fall scene featuring the cute critters from the Autumn Friends die and paired it with the Fall Branch w/Swing. Love the owl sitting on the swing.  It's a larger format in a horizontal 5x7 card. 
Her images are all colored with Copic markers. The color scheme followed the Splitcoaststampers color Challenge #968 this week.  Optional was an "anything goes" theme. She took advantage of that by adding a few more Fall colors along with some neutrals.  
lemon-lime twist, daffodil delight, coastal cabana

Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Marla Harris. This tranquil Fall scene is so perfect for a Thanksgiving card.
She used the Fall Gate w/Flowers and the Fall Branch w/Swing dies to create this beauty. 
The images are all colored with Copic markers including the grass in the background. The sky is inked with distress oxide salvaged patina and peacock feather inks. The sunflowers, accents to the fence and pumpkin are all lifted off the background with dimensional adhesive to add depth. 

Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Melinda Beltran. She used the Fall Centerpiece and Autumn Garland dies and designed a beautiful home decor piece. She altered a Dollar Store find to create her own shadowbox. 
Melinda is quite the pro at altering items and achieving a finished upscale look. For this project, she moved away from the traditional Fall colors for her pumpkins and sunflowers to the trendy pastels that are being shown this season.  


That's it for our samples for today. We hope you have enjoyed the samples from the Team that we have presented these past 2 days. You can pick up these dies in our online store at a 30% off limited time sale.

Foxy Fall

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a cute fall card made with one of the new Christmas dies!  I made a small notecard size card using the cute fox from the Holiday Gnomes w/ Fox die set.  This card is also for this week's Clean and Simple challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  The challenge this week is to make a CAS card with an element that begins with "F".  Fall and Fox - I have this one covered.
I first cut all the pieces from fall colored card stock and patterned paper.  I'll admit that the leaves were some that I had left over from a previous card.  If I have left over die cuts, I store them in the envelope with the die so I'll have them handy if needed.
I used a sponge dauber and added some shading to the fox, then assembled him.
Using the third smallest circle from the Stitched Circle set, I cut three Pumpkin Pie and one white circle.  From the plaid paper I cut one circle using the second smallest of the Nested Scallop Circles.
I stacked the plain circles with the white on top and then glued those to the plaid scalloped one.  The fox was glued on top.
I added the medallion, some foliage and the sentiment to a 3.5 x 5 inch note card.
For the finishing touch I added a few matching rhinestones.  I love my bling!  This little fox is so versatile.  Without his hat he is perfect for fall, but add his hat and he's great for Christmas!

Be sure to visit the online store - the new Christmas dies are wonderful!

Bear With Pumpkins


Hi!

It's Anja here. I have an Autumn card for you today. I created this scene using a cute little bear, surrounded with pumpkins.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Birthday Party Bear, Autumn Centerpiece, Autumn Sweets, Fall Phrases),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (14,5x14,5 cm),
- brushes,
- adhesive foam pads,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the bear. I used black and white pen (not photographed) for the Bear's eyes.


Next I colored all the pumpkins and the leaves.


Then moved to the background. I used brushes to color. Last I colored around the edges with some orange.


Then I just needed the sentiment. I used lighter one for coloring and darker to emphasize the edges.


And then I just arranged and glued all pieces together. I used adhesive foam pads to glue the bear. And my card was done.



Before I go I just want to remind you to check the store for all the new goodies that are still available for 25 % off.

Have a nice Sunday.

Anja Z.

Fall Card

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fall themed card to share for my design team post.  After such a hot summer, I'm definitely ready for fall which inspired this card!
I found the perfect fall themed papers in my stash.  The colors are so vibrant and fun.  I especially love the yellow and green mixed with the burgundy!
I used a couple of punches from my stash, one to create a border and the other to punch a scalloped circle for my card.
I used the Flatbed Truck with Accessories, Fall Phrases, Pumpkin Pie & Latte and the Mail Tag Set dies to cut out the pieces for my card.
I created my card base with the patterned papers, added the scalloped border and layered the tag on top of the background.  A small twine bow was used to accent the tag.
Next I placed the Flatbed Truck in the center of my card.  The "fall" sentiment was added to the tag along with the tiny pumpkin on the scalloped circle.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the shop:

Birthday Puppy

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made another birthday card this week. This time I used cute puppy die and some Distress Oxides for the background. 


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Birthday Puppy, Fall Phrases, Circle Set),
- Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Stormy Sky, Shabby Shutters, Mustard Seed) and Oxides (Twisted Citron, Faded Jeans),
- Craft card base (10,5x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- water color paper for background (10x14,5 cm),
- black pen,
- white pen,
- water spritzer,
- heat gun,
- brushes,
- washi tape,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the puppy.


Next I cut and colored the sentiment.


And the I started with the background. I used water color paper. First I cut a circle out of a waste paper and attached it on the background with a piece of washi tape. Then I started coloring around with Distress Oxides. I used make up brushes for coloring and blending.


Next I removed the cut circle and softened the edges of the circle, again with the brushes and Distress Oxides.


Then I used the water spritzer to add water drops for more interest. I used heat gun for drying.


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



And this is all from me for today. I wish you all a lovely Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
