Space Rocket Santa Slider

Happy Friday friends! 

Kris here, share with you a slimline slider card featuring the Santa Space Rocket die.  And just a li'l reminder that all of the individual dies in our Christmas 2023 Release are 30% off for a limited time!  

Pull the slider to reveal an embossed message from Santa

DESIGN STEPS:

• Start with a light teal top folding card base cut at 9" x 8" and scored in half at 4".  

• Cut a darker teal mat at 8-3/4" x 3-3/4" and adhere to card front. 

• Using the largest of the Pinking Sheer Edge Slimline dies, cut (1) from dark teal and another from a snowflake design paper.  

  --Die cut trees from the Mountains & Trees Slimline die towards the bottom of the teal layer.  (Save the top portion for another project).  Add Snow Writer (puffy snow) to the trees and set aside to dry. 

  -- From the Snowflake layer,  figure out where you want your slider channel to be and die cut the smallest of the Nested Rectangle Slimline set. (You could also use the smallest from the Rounded Rectangle Slimline set if you have that!)   Die cut the end of the die from the short edge in line with your long cut out section as shown below. 

• Cut from thick white cardstock a slider tab that is 3/4" x 8".  Cut the same from Snowflake pattern paper and adhere on top.  

  --I used a tab punch to cut the end of the tab *optional

• Cut a stabilizer piece from white c.s. at 2-3/4" x 1/2" and loosely wrap around the tab as shown.  

• Lay your snowflake patterned paper onto card front and stamp your sentiment in VersaMark in the window and heat emboss with white e.p. 

• On the back of your snowflake layer, place tab towards edge where the opening is and glue the stabilizer down between the open edge and the slimline opening.  Add 1/8" foam strips very close around the pull tab.  

 --I also angled the other end of my tab to follow the tail of my rocket so that part of the slider wasn't showing.  *optional.

• Remove tape backing and adhere to card front.

• Die cut Santa Space Rocket from white c.s., color and assemble. 

• Place rocket towards right edge of card and glue a dimensional or slider disc to the pull tab right under the middle of the rocket.

• Die cut Merry Christmas w/ Friends ... add color or shading... adhere to card front.  

DONE!

Par-fect Day

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

We have a NEW RELEASE which is perfect for all those sports fans in the family! It is called Baseball & Golf! It has 16 fantastic dies which will make your card making and scrapbooking pages look great! The release has special pricing right now so go and check it out HERE!

My husband is a golfer so I am really going to enjoy creating with the golf dies.  I used the Putting Green and Golf Cart for this card.  I mixed it with a few of the slimline dies for the background.

Design Steps:

1.  I used the Golf Cart die and cut gray, silver, red, blue, rust and black card stock.  I then assembled with a fast drying, fine tip glue

2.  I used the Putting Green die and cut brown, red and green card stock.  I will assemble the putting green on the card. You will see on the card I added a little piece of white on the back side of the hole

3.  For the background of the card I used an A2 white base, blue DP for the sky 2 1/4 x 5 1/4, dark green card stock cut with Mountain & Trees Slimline, a piece of green measuring 3 x 5 1/4 cut with the Hills Slimline and not pictured a piece of white 2 x 5 1/4 cut with the Clouds slimline

4.  Glue the sky down first to the white card base. Glue the tree line to the green hills and then glue to the card

5.  Glue the putting green to the green hills as pictured above

6.  Pop up the golf card, add the clouds to the top and your sentiment to the bottom.  Your card is complete

Love You with all my Heart

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 NEW RELEASE TIME! The Winter Release with 15 new designs is in the online store. They are perfect for creating cards for all your winter celebrations. You can pick them up on a limited time 30% off sale.

Today, I am using the new Winter Cat & Bird Sledding and the Winter Ski Trip dies to create a scenic mountain lake with pine trees and sledding slopes. This will be a Valentine's card. 

I like to make non-traditional cards for this holiday, and I thought this image would work great as a love style card. I am not sure who I will give this card to as yet. Maybe my hubby or our precious little granddaughter. So, let's get started with some details of how I created this card. 

Design Steps:

I started off my card by cutting the images. I cut the cat & bird in bright colors. For the cat I used somewhat masculine colors and the little bird in more feminine colors. 

The mountains are cut in a dark gray cardstock and also a very pale blue for the snow caps. The pine trees are cut with the Mountains & Trees Slimline die. I cut the pine trees in a dark green cardstock.

For the sledding slopes, I used the Hills Slimline die.  

Next, I stamped my sentiment. I masked off the words I didn't want to use. I used my MISTI since this is a photopolymer stamp and sometimes, they don't stamp well with just one inking. I had to double stamp this one. 

Now that my elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I used a white card base and for the sky background I used designer paper. I didn't need a full background for the designer paper since the slopes would cover it. 

 

White Card Base: 4 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Designer Paper Layer: 3 1/8" x 4 1/2"

I attached the sledding slopes and the designer paper with double sided tape.  

Next, I attached the pine trees and the mountains. I positioned the mountains to give the appearance of a mountain lake. It reminded me of Lake Tahoe. 

The images are attached with dimensional adhesive. This little pair is so cute and I love how they look placed in the mountain scene.  

To finish off my card, I added my Love phrase. It's cut from cardstock using the Love Shadow die. I added a couple of enamel hearts and this card is finished. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use these dies for Valentine's Day. See you next Saturday.
