Fall Truck

 Hello Friends

It is Pam creating with you on this wonderful Thursday!  Just to let you know we still have some great sale prices on some of the dies so check it out HERE!

Today,  I have a fall card to share.  I am featuring the Flatbed Truck w/Accessories.  I added some pumpkins to fill up the truck.



Design Steps:

1.  Using the Flatbead Truck die cut out the following colors of card stock: blue, black, white, brown, silver and vellum.  Using the Scarecrow die cut out the pumpkins in orange and green
2.  Ink the truck and pumpkins with coordinating ink colors and then assemble
3.  Use a white card base (4 1/2 x 6 1/4) cut a piece of rust DP 4 1/8 x 6 1/8, cut a piece of white DP 5 1/4 x 3 1/2, cut a piece of corrugated kraft card stock 1 x 5 1/4
4.  Glue the white DP to the rust DP and then glue down the strip of corrugated kraft to the bottom of the white DP. Add a double piece of twine and a bow to the corrugated kraft card stock (as shown above) 
Glue to the white card base
5.  Add dimension dots to the back of the truck (do not put dimension dots on the back of the truck rail so you can slide in the pumpkins) and pop it to the card front (as shown below).  Put dimension dots on the back of the pumpkins and slide them behind the truck rail.  I then added a little glue to the truck rails and glue it to the pumpkins
6.  Add the sentiment and your card is complete



We have more inspiration on our YouTube Channel check it out HERE

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Blessings and Take Care

America....Land That I Love

Hello CottageCutz 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 the 4th of July weekend, and I am sending patriotic wishes to all. 

We have a brand-new release in the online store. It's our Patriotic 4th of July release with 12 amazing patriotic designs. You can pick up the individual dies at 30% off . If you love making patriotic cards to honor a veteran, to celebrate the 4th of July or to display your love for America, we have you covered with this new release.

There is also a 4th of July sale going on right now in the online store. It runs through July 7th with savings of up to 70%.

My card for today is featuring the USA Flag and the Patriotic Rainbow dies in a slimline design. I love making patriotic cards and mail them out for the 4th of July celebration. So, let's get started on some details on how I created my card.


Design Steps: 

The inspiration for my card came from a red truck that I saw driving by me recently. I loved the flag furling in the wind from the back of his truck. So, my card idea was born.

I cut my flag in red, white and blue. I love how the detail in this die that gives the impression that it is waving in the wind. 
Next, I cut my truck. I used an older CottageCutz die - Flatbed Truck w/Accessories. It is still available in the online store. 
I stenciled some clouds in broken china distress ink and added a 1/2" section of black cardstock with small white lines down the middle as a road for the truck. 
My card elements are ready and I can start card assembly. I attached the truck and the flag with dimensional adhesive. The America Phrase was secured with clear drying glue. 
To finish off my card, I stamped my sentiment and scattered a few stars. 
That's it for me for this week. See you next Saturday.

Wool Ewe Be Mine?


Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another Valentine's card for you today. This time I used two older dies and made a cute card.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Flatbed Truck w/Accessories, Nativity Set Animals),
- Die Inks,
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- bristol paper for background (12,5x12,5),
- black card stock for background (12,8x12,8 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- silver pigment ink,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- printer,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the truck.


Next I colored the sheep.


Then I printed the sentiment on bristol paper and trimmed both paper for the background.


Then I colored the background.


And when I had all the pieces ready I assembled the card together.



This all form me for today. Before I go I invite you to the online store where you can check out all the new goodies. Can't wait for the package to arrive.

Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

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:

October Harvest

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.

There isn't a new release of dies for July,  but there is a Christmas in July sale going on right now. You can save up to 65% on selected dies in the online store.
This is also a throwback month for designs.  The team will be featuring some of our previously released dies to give you fresh ideas for using them.

I jumped ahead a few months and thought I would feature a happy harvest card. Not that I am looking for summer to end anytime soon (LOL)!!! My card today is showcasing the flatbed truck w/accessories die. Let's get started with some details on how I created this card.

Step 1: This week I started with my layout. I saw this one on Splitcoaststampers and thought it would work great for the card that I had in mind. I flipped the sketch to accommodate the truck image. It also would allow me to use fall themed patterned paper.

Step 2: I chose my card colors from the patterned paper I found in my stash. The card base is a deep, rich brown shade.
Espresso Brown Card Base (Element 1): 5 1/2" x 4 14"
Patterned Paper (Element 2): 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Vanilla Rectangle Panel (Element 3):  3 7/8" x 2 7/8" - 2nd largest stitched rectangle die
Step 3: I cut my truck from colored cardstock- using 2 shades of green for truck body, black and 2 shades of gray for tires, a light gray for door handle and trim around windows, suede for the wood planks, baskets are a brown sugar cardstock.
 The October Phrase is cut in a Cajun cardstock (cinnamon). Used the calendar months die. Looks like it's currently out of stock, but you could use one of Expressions Phrases dies such as Blessings, Grateful or Happy.
Step 4: Started the card assembly. Attached the first 3 panels together using double sided tape. Before I attached the image panel I decided to sponge a few clouds and at the bottom I sponged some kraft ink to simulate the dirt in the harvest field.
I attached the truck using dimensional adhesive. I always like the look of an image lifted from the panel a bit. I forgot to stamp the sentiment before I attached the panel so I did it at this point. I used my MISTI because it's a clear stamp and sometimes it needs stamped twice- and it did. I used Cajun ink so it would match my October phrase.
Step 5: I attached the wood truck planks with Ranger multi matte medium. I ended up cutting the October phrase 3x to give it more dimension on the card.Especially since part of it was against the designer paper ,which is a bit busy. This is element 4 of the sketch. I moved it up top. I guess I took a bit of liberty with this sketch.
For the 3 embellishments of the sketch I found some sunflower buttons in the stash. I thought they worked great.
 
Well that's it for me for this post.  I hope I gave given you some inspiration if you have this truck die. If you don't, it's still available in the online store. See you next Saturday.
