Cards with pets

Hi, Janja is here.
Christmas is almost here and we all probably ended up with our Christmas cards.
Today, I prepared three cards with some new dies from Pets release.

- CottageCutz dies: Miss Kitty, Rufus The Hound, Goldfish & Bowl, Fancy Feline (cat), Shelf w/Plants (shelf), Retro Tag Toppers, Fireplace w/Accessories (small bows), Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set, Rectangle Set

- white card base: 4.25 x 5.35" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded

- kraft card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded

- colored card stock

- different ink pads

- plastic stencil: brick wall

- double-sided sticky tape, double-sided foam tape, foam pads, glue

- glossy accents

Start this card by cutting a fish, bowl and cat. 

I used colored card stock. For greater depth, I used different ink pads. On the picture is missing a shelf that I cut out later.

Use a plastic stencil brick wall for the background.

Cut the background to size 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm). Paste it with a double-sided sticky tape to the card base. Stamp a sentiment. 

Attach the fish bowl and cat to the shelf with foam pads. 

Use glossy accents for air bubbles.

-------------------

Cut out all the pieces with the die - Rufus The Hound. I used the die - Fireplace with Accessories for small bows.

Cut two patterned papers of this size: 4 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm) and 4 x 2.9" (10 x 7,3 cm). I printed the sentiment in Word. 

For the final touch, draw a shadow around the dog with a brush. Apply a glossy accents to the water in a bowl.

------------------------

Cut out and assemble Miss Kitty. 

Prepare background and two frames. Cut out two circles and stamp a sentiment. Attach frame and Miss Kitty to card base as shown using double-sided foam tape. 

Finally, add a little pearl to the flower.

Have a nice day.

 

 

 

Festive Cats

Hi!

It's Anja again. Today I have a cat themed card for you. When I saw the latest pets release I first spotted all the cats dies. My best friend has a big cat, named Franček (Francis in English). I often babysit him, when she and her husband go on holidays. And he has this big cat tree. So I used the cat and the tree for inspiration and gave Franček some company :)

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Fancy Feline, Santa Hat Cat, Fluffy Buddies),
- Distress Inks (Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, Fired Brick, Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Scattered Straw, Vintage Photo, Peacock Feathers, Hickory Smoke),
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- patterned paper (14,5x14,5 cm),
- craft card base for background (11,5x11,5 cm),
- white watercolor paper for background (11x11 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- sentiment stamp,
- acrylic block,
- black pigment ink,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the cat tree.

Then the cats. I used black pen for the eyes.

Then the second cat. I used greenery from the first die to decorate the tail.

The I cut the papers for the background.

I don't have a lot of sentiment stamp in English. I found one that seemed quite appropriate :)
Cats bring a lot of joy and peace.

And the I just glued everything together. Ant my card was finished.

I wish you all a peaceful and joyful Sunday.

See you again next week.

Black Friday Release DT Samples

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the brand new Black Friday Release Bundle.
There are 16 new pet designs in this release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 30% off. Or you can purchase the entire release for $99.95 and you will save 60%.

For the next several days, we will be featuring samples from the design team using these new dies. We wanted to  give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon, our new guest designer. She is featuring the Fancy Feline die. She created such a fun card with this whimsical new die.

Don't you just love how the adorable cat is nestled on top of her own kitty condo.  The ball of yarn and tiny mouse add a fun element to the scene. She framed the images with the Nested Stitched Scallop Circle die.
 This card is the perfect way to say hello to the cat lover in your life. Her sentiment completes the theme of the card so perfectly.

Card 2: Our next sample is from Lois Bak. She created a cute birthday card featuring the Doghouse w/Pup & Hydrant die. She placed the puppy in a fun outdoor scene using patterned paper for her sky and grass. The picket fence just adds to the overall appeal of her card.  

Did you notice how she personalized the plaque on the dog house by stamping a witty sentiment. This card design would be ideal for children or adults who may be celebrating a birthday.  

Card 3: The final sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the super cute Peeking Puppy die. I also created an outdoor scene for the lovable little pup.

His little friendly  face would put a smile on anyone's face when they open this card. He looks like he is so eager to give some love. So I thought a sending hugs phrase was so appropriate for this card of encouragement. The sending hugs sentiment is from a previously released die.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some inspiration if you already bought these dies. And if you are contemplating a purchase, don't wait to long, The dies are on sale for a limited time.

 

Stop by again tomorrow for more team samples.
