Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog.
Today I would like to share with you a card made with another cute die from the gardening release.

- CottageCutz dies: Garden Cat w/ Wagon, Holiday Gate With Wreath
- blank card: 5 5/16" x 5 5/16" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded

- different colors of cardstock
- different colors of ink pads
- enamel dots
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

Start by die-cutting all the pieces for the main image out from different colors of cardstock. Shade all cutouts with ink pads.

Stamp the wood on beige cardstock with coffee-colored ink. Then cut out the gate twice. Use scissors to cut one in half. Assemble the fence.

Trim white cardstock. Use a large brush and blue ink to shade the background.

Paste the main image on the prepared background as shown. 

On the back, add self-adhesive foam over the entire surface and attach to the front of the card.

Lastly add shade under the wagon and shoes. Use a light grey ink pad.

Thank you for stopping by.

Puppy in a Garden Cart

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog.
Today, I want to share with you a card with a cute puppy in a garden cart.

- CottageCutz dies: Puppy in Garden Cart, Potting Shed (potted plants), Retro Tag Toppers
- blank card: 5 5/16 x 5 5/16" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- white cardstock: 4 3/4 x 4 3/4" (12 x 12 cm)
- grey paper strip: 4 3/4 x 5/8 " (12 x 1,6 cm)
- different colors of cardstock
- different colors of ink pads
- brick wall stencil
- white texture paste
- spatula
- enamel dot
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

I used different colors of cardstock for all the cutouts and colored the edges with slightly darker ink pads.
You can also use white cardstock and then color all the cutouts with any color media.

Cut a square out of white cardstock. Then apply a white paste, stained with grey and red ink, over the brick wall stencil and let it dry.

Cut a banner out of white cardstock and stamp a sentiment.

Add a grey strip to the bottom edge of the brick wall.
Complete the card.

Thank you for stopping by.

To brighten your day

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog today.
As much as I love creating my cards with lots of cutouts, it’s fun to take a step back occasionally and create a simple card.

- CottageCutz die Gardening Tomte
- blank card: 4 ¼ x 5 ½" (10,8 x 14 cm), folded
- white cardstock: 3 1/2 x 4 13/16" (8,9 x 12,2 cm)
- different colors of cardstock
- different colors of ink pads
- white ink pen
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape

Start by die-cutting all the pieces for the main image out from different colors of cardstock. For greater depth, use ink pads that are slightly darker than the cardstock.

Then cut out a rectangle from white cardstock.
To add a little more depth to the overall look, leave the die in place and shade around the bottom with a grey ink pad and blender brush. You will get white unshaded edges at the bottom.
I printed this cute quote later on the top.

Trim the selected patterned paper to the size of a blank card. Stick it on the front of the card.

Completed card.

Thank you for stopping by.
