Missing You

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

It is Pam creating with you today on the blog!

It is time to make the CottageCutz family a little bigger.  We are adding a brand new line of Photopolymer Clear Stamps call Lil' Bluebird Designs.  We are kicking off this new line with 16 new stamp sets that have coordinating dies.  Make sure to check all of them out by clicking HERE. 

 Today, I am featuring the Forest Friends set.  I have family all over the country so I love sending Miss You cards to them.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a Slimline card which measures 8 1/2 x 3 1/2.  Cut a piece of blue DP 3 1/4 x 8 1/4,  also cut out 3 white Windows using the Window Slimline die

2.  Stamp your images in Memento Black ink using the Forest Friends Stamp set

3.  Color the stamped images with Copic markers.  The colors I used are in the picture above.  After you are finished coloring use the Forest Friends Coordinating die set to cut them out

3.  Glue all three frames together then glue the blue DP to the back of the frame.  Use the Spring Grass die to cut out 2 pieces of grass on green card stock.  Cut the grass down to 2 1/2 inches and glue them into the bottom two frames as shown

4.  Using the Lighthouse w/Clouds die cut out 2 white clouds. For the little hearts I used the Love Cupcake die and red card stock.  I cut out 3 hearts.   Glue all of your pieces into the frame as shown above.  Add the sentiment, sequins and hearts and your card is complete

Framed Lighthouse

Hi, Lois here with another throwback card.  Because CottageCutz isn't having a new release this month, the design team members are pulling out older dies and giving them a fresh look.  Today I have pulled out Lighthouse w/Clouds, Rope Corner, and the Pierced Wide Rectangle Frame set to make my card.

This card is a standard A2 card which folds at the top.  I started by cutting the cardstock and patterned paper for the card base, as follows:

Turquoise - 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"

White - 4" x 5 1/4"

Waves patterned paper - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Next I cut the middle Pierced Wide Rectangle Frame from gray cardstock and a piece of sky patterned paper 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".  I applied two layers of foam tape to the back of the frame and adhered the sky paper to the frame.

I then die cut the Lighthouse and Rope Corner pieces from white cardstock . . .

. . . colored and constructed the images.

All that was left was to place the lighthouse, seagulls, and clouds in the frame, attach the frame to the card, and add the rope and anchor appropriately -- and my card was finished.
