Autumn On The Farm

Hi, Janja is here with you.
A little more, and autumn will come. This is the richest time of the year, enchanting us with beautiful autumn colors, juicy fruits and vegetables.
I tried to capture some of this on a card I share with you today.


CottageCutz dies - Lucky Leprechaun, Hats, Glasses & Mustaches, Old Farm Fence, Cornucopia, Ivy, Carrot Patch Bunny
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 13,7 cm)
- colored cardstock
- corrugated kraft cardstock
- colored ink pads
- watercolor brush
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads
Cut out the central motif with Lucky Leprechaun die and add a mustache.


Now cut out the various autumn crops.


Cut ivy from watercolor paper. I colored ivy with Distress Inks, brush and water.


Prepare a card base and trim a patterned paper. From corrugated kraft cardstock cut a frame and a fence. The outer edge of the frame is the same size as the card base.



First, attach a pattern paper and frame to the front of the card. Then paste the central motif, a fence and ivy. Finally, fill the bottom of the card with all the vegetables and fruits.





Have a nice day.
Janja

Happy Father's Day!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this Father's Day card. These masculine dies made it easy to create this fun card for celebrating dad!
I created my card by cutting the pieces from the Hats, Glasses & MustachesHappy Father's Day Phrase and the Nested Stitched Scallop Square die sets.
I found this mustache themed paper in the Doodlebug Day to Day paper pad and coordinated the solid colors with the patterned paper.
Once I created my card base, I layered the background with the larger Nested Stitched Scallop Square.
The smaller Nested Stitched Scallop Square was turned on it's side and adorned with the die cuts.  I added some Glossy Accents inside the glasses.
While the Glossy Accents were drying, I worked on the inside of my card by adhering the sentiment along with the hat and mustache.  I also stamped a sentiment on a hand cut flag from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Fun Celebrations stamp set.  A piece of solid card stock was also added as a decorative element.
Finally my card was ready to be put together by adhering the die cut pieces to the card base. 
To finish off my card, I added the stamped sentiment at the bottom portion of my card.  The whimsical design of this card will be so fun for Father's Day.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Just For Guys Team Samples (Part 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the new Just For Guys release. There are 14 dies in this release and it's currently on sale for 25% off.
They are ideal for all your masculine type cards. The dies have a great retro and classic look. There are so many possibilities as you will see from the cards today.

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team.  We have 4 more samples for your viewing pleasure today.

Card 1: Our first sample is from Janja Albrecht. She created a chocolate bar and used the Hats, Glasses & Moustaches die to decorate it.
To get the look of a chocolate bar, she used the basic squares dies, brown cardstock and then ink to shadow for such an authentic look. She scored the brown cardstock and made a grid before attaching the square die cuts. She added some torn aluminum foil and patterned paper. Super cute idea for a masculine birthday card.
Card 2: The next sample is from Pam MacKay. She used the Train, Bike & Plane die to create a great masculine birthday card. The retro dies coordinate so well with her punny sentiment.
The fold type is a circle top card. When you open the card front it folds over the circle to display the sentiment on the inside as well. Pam bought pre-cut card stock but here is a link to a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers so you can create the same look.
This is the card inside. You can see how the card front folds over the circle so it lays flat to carry the sentiment to the inside. It's such a creative way to tease a guy about his age. And, it's all in fun.
Card 3:  The next sample is from Anja Zurga. She used the Hats, Glasses & Moustaches plus the Retro Alphabet dies to create an awesome masculine card. This could be used for a variety of occasions -think birthday, anniversary or even Valentines Day. She created a tall and skinny card and the use of stitched circles help draw your eye right to the images. These new dies make masculine card designing a breeze. 
 Card 4: Our last card for today is another from Anja Zurga. On this one she used the Racecar & Flags + the Retro Alphabet dies. This is another example of a great guy card for that special someone who is a car enthusiast or auto mechanic. Or how about as a graduation card for the one who will be going to a trade school to learn auto mechanics.
The team did such a fabulous job with their samples today. I hope they have sparked some additional ideas for ways to use these new dies.  And, remember they are currently 25% off in the online store.

Father's Day Card

Hi!

It's Anja here. Hope you're having a great day celebrating Father's day. This new Cottage Cutz dies are great to make different cards for your dads and men in general. Not just for Father's day, but also for other occasions. I got mine a few days ago and I look forward to using it in my future crafting projects.

For today's card I found inspiration in Lois's card. I really liked what she did with background and I thought all the small icons and pieces would be so great to use. And this is what I did.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Happy Father's Day Phrase, Automotive Icons, Classic Car, Hats, Glasses & Mustaches),
- black card base, made from black card stock (21x15 cm),
- patterned paper (10x14,5 cm),
- black and white card stock for die cuts,
- Vesafine Black Onyx Ink pad,
- sentiment stamp,
- stamping platform,
- paper glue,
- scissors,
- Fiskars cutting machine,
- white pen.

Making this card was easy and quite fast. First I made the card base and cut the patterned paper.


Then I die cut all the small pieces from black card stock.




I glued the small pieces on the patterned paper.


I cut the Happy Father's Day phrase from white card stock.


Then I stamped the sentiment with black ink on the white paper and cut it out with the scissors.


And then I just glued both phrases on the background. And my card was finished.




Before I go, I would like to invite you to the Scrapping Cottage store, to check out Anniversary sale and discounts. It's definitely worth the look.

And now I'm off to my craft room. I have some projects to finish and some football to watch. Enjoy your Sunday.

Anja Z.
