Valentine Truck

 Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today.   

I am getting ready to send out my Valentines in a couple of weeks so I am finishing up a few more today.  The one I am making today is more of a guy's card. So maybe to my hubby or brother!  It is a little more masculine with the deeper reds, wood and truck. The dies I used are: The Flatbed Truck w/Accessories, Puppy with Valentine and Valentine Phrase and More (Hearts from both of them)

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Flatbed Truck cut out the following colors of card stock and a piece of vellum: black, silver, and deep red (I decided to cut out the fencing in black instead of brown)

2.  Use black ink and a small applicator to shade the truck.  Glue together with a fast drying, fine tip glue.  Do not glue on the fencing yet.  Cut out the hearts using Puppy with Valentine and Valentine Phrases and More

3.  Use a white card base measuring 4 1/4 x 6 1/4.  Cut a piece of black checked DP the same size as the base card, Cut a piece of wood DP 5 x 3 1/2 and layer it onto a deep red scallop rectangle

4.  Glue the checked DP to the white card base and then glue down the wood rectangle as shown above

6.  Glue down the truck and add arrange the hearts in the back of the truck.  Glue the hearts down and then add the black fencing

7.  Using the Valentine Phrase and More die cut out love you in black and glue to the front of the card as shown above.  Your card is complete

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

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.
