Mr. Snuggles Split Front Card

Happy Friday Friends!

Kris here to share some coffee-themed inspiration with you.  Today kicks off the Spring/Summer Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Hop, so I was inspired to make a coffee-themed card using some 'new-to-me' CottageCutz dies that were perfect for this.  I made a fun fold card that is so super simple... let me show you! ☺


To create the split, you start with an A2 landscape card, then make 2 cuts to the front of card, up to the score line.  Adding a supporting cross bar that connects the front 2 side flaps, helps to hold them together as you open the card.  


The middle section inside (which is also the middle of the front of your card) serves to hide your stamped or hand written message.  ☺  It's so simple, but adds a fun unexpected feature.


DIE CUTS:

Kraft cardstock:

White cardstock:
Coffee & Donuts (donuts and steam)
Cookies & Cocoa (just the hearts)
Warm & Cozy Cocoa (just the marshmallows & cocoa oval)

PAPER TRIMMER CUTS:

 Teal Cardstock:
Cut card base at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and score at 4-1/4"

Kraft Cardstock:
2-13/16" x 4-1/16" 
(2) 1-1/16" x 4-1/16"
1-1/4" x 5-7/16"

White Cardstock:
2-5/8" x 3-7/8"
1-1/16" x 5-1/4"
(2) 1-1/16" x 4-1/16"

Designer Paper (coffee cups):
2-5/8" x 3-7/8"
(2)  7/8" x 3-7/8"

Designer Paper (Teal Plaid):
(2) 7/8" x 3-7/8"
7/8" x 5-1/16"

DESIGN STEPS:

• With 5-1/2" edge along top of trimmer, cut just down to the score line at 1-1/4" and 4-1/4"


• Attach your coffee print papers to their brown mats.  
• Attach the larger one to the middle section of card front
• Attach the skinny ones to the inside side panels so there's equal border around.


• Attach white message piece to the inside center.


• Attach plaid papers to the white mats, and attach to the front side panels as shown.


• Attach the longer plaid piece to the white mat, then onto the brown kraft piece.  

• Add adhesive ONLY to the side ends that will be overlapping the 2 side columns (don't attach to the center panel that has cups on it. 



• Add color and shading to your die cuts and assemble.

*Tip:  For the croissant, I angled the ends of the "marshmallows" and colored like a croissant.  For the plate, I added some lines to the cocoa oval.

 **Optional:  I added glossy glaze to my bear's eyes and nose, and the donut icings.  The photo below shows before it dried, so it's a li'l opaque here.  When it dries, it is transparent ☺


• I added foam tape to the lower part of bear and cup and attached them to the cross bar on front of card.



Grab some fun COFFEE or COCOA dies and join in the fun!!

Wishing You a Cup of Cheer!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a sweet card to share for my design team post.  I wanted to create a card that can be used as an all occasion card especially during the winter season!
The Hot Drink Cup and Mr. Snuggles die sets are so versatile that they can be used together or separately. I also used the Nested Stitched Eyelet Oval die set for my card.  The tiny heart was left over on my craft desk from one of my Christmas projects so I incorporated it into my card.
I went with a kraft theme for my card base which coordinated perfectly with Mr. Snuggles and his coffee cup.  I selected a strip of blue card stock to add to my card.
All of the pieces were layered and adhered to my card base.  The die cut oval topped off my card.
Mr. Snuggles and his coffee cup was adhered inside the oval leaving enough room for the sentiment tag underneath.
A triple bow made with some jute twine was the perfect finishing accent on this cheery card.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Pumpkin Latte!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you today!

It is time for all of our very favorite flavors and spices!  I don't know about you but I love the pumpkin scones at Star Bucks.  And of course if they don't have the scones I settle for a delicious cup of pumpkin latte!  Oh I love fall!!!

With all of the wonderful colors, smells and crisp air who can resist autumn.  This fabulous season is my inspiration today.

Designer Steps:

 1.  Using the Mr. Snuggles die and the Pumpkin Pie & Latte die cut out all of the pieces using white, cream and brown card stock
 2.  Shade the bear piece with TH Vintage ink and color the cup using your favorite markers.  I used my Copics
3.  Assemble the bear and cup set aside
 4.  Use a white A2 card base, cut a piece of brown card stock just slightly smaller then the base front, Cut a piece of checked DP 4 x 5 1/4 and a piece of leaf DP 5 1/4 x 2.  Make a brown bottom layer slightly bigger for the 5 1/4 x 2 inch piece of leaf DP.  Use the 4th from the largest Pierced Rectangle and cut it on white card stock
 5.  Layer the Leaf DP on top of the brown and add the raffia ribbon and bow
 6.  Stamp the upper right hand corner of the white Pierced Rectangle with Happy Fall and then pop the bear onto the rectangle
7.  Glue the brown and checked paper to the white card front and add the strip of leaf DP.  Next just pop up your little bear panel and your card is complete

Coffee Please!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today! And I have made 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 am using Mr. Snuggles, Hot Drink and Pierced Wide Rectangle Frame.

Design Steps:
 1.  Cut out all of the pieces of the bear using Mr. Snuggles die and the cup using Hot Drink Cup on white card stock
2.  Color the piece with copic markers: W0, W1 - E21, 23, 27, 29.  After coloring assemble the piece using a fine tip glue
 3.  Use a black A2 size card base, cut a slightly smaller piece of DP.  Use the Pierced Wide Rectangle  die second from the largest and cut out a black frame
 4.  Glue the frame flat to the DP and pop up the bear and the cup and sequins and your sentiment and your card is complete and ready to mail to a friend!

It is time to play so pull out all of those dies and put some new twists to them!  It is so much fun to create new things with what we have!
