Have a Fairy Nice Day!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a card created with the new Magical Garden dies.  The fairies and fairy gardens in this release are absolutely adorable and are perfect for creating a princess themed card.
I die cut the pieces from the new Sweet Fairy and Mushroom Garden die sets.  Some chalk on the cheeks and Glossy Accents to the fairy's eyes gave her a more realistic appearance.  All of the die cuts were shaded with Oxide Inks.
I created my card by using some fun techniques to create the background.  I used 2 different Oxide Ink colors and covered each half of my card with the ink.  I didn't spend too much time on blending the 2 colors knowing the next couple of steps in my process would take card of that.
Next I added droplets of water all over the ink which lightened the colors and gave my card base a more blended appearance.
I splattered a bit of white paint on the background of my card to resemble pixie dust.  A sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Happily Ever After stamp set was heat embossed in the corner of my card.
I added the Mushroom Garden elements along the bottom edge of my card.  I anchored the fairy to have her floating above the garden.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of bling as a finishing accent.
Here are the die used on my card, available in the shop:

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 5)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Stone Fairy Door, Mushroom Fairy Garden and Mushroom Garden and created a beautiful framed art piece. She started with distress oxide inks and then built the cutest fairy garden scene with these dies.  This would make a wonderful gift for a special friend or if you make handmade Christmas gifts this is a great idea.

Sample 2:  The next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used the Gnome on Tree Stump and Tree with Tire Swing to create a fabulous card of encouragement. Such a wonderful way to let someone know you care. The stenciled a ray of light around the gnomes lantern adds a unique touch.  Don't you love the caring, tender look on the little gnome's face?
Sample 3: The next and last sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. using the Wishing Well and Fairy Garden Flowers dies. When I saw the wishing well die, I thought of a bridal shower card and also a get well card. Today I went with the get well card idea.  I used some cloud designer paper for the background. Stamped the get well sentiment and the Wishes phrase is from the Coffee & Cocoa Warm Wishes die. This is a sweet way to send get well wishes to someone that is under the weather or battling a major illness. It lets them know you care.
 
Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you several ideas on fresh ways to use the new dies. We still have 3 more days of group samples so stop by again tomorrow. You can also check us out on FaceBook and Instagram

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Stone Fairy Door die and the Home Sweet Home Phrase (older release) to create this pretty one layer card. She used distress oxide inks to color the fairy door image. The path, grass and sky were masked and colored also using distress oxide inks. How perfect would this be for a new home owner or someone who has just moved. You could also use it as a party invitation just by changing the sentiment.

Sample 2:  Our next sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the Mushroom Garden die and created a birthday card with a fancy fold.  She cut the front panel in half and added the designer paper. The stitched scalloped square was used to showcase the mushroom images which were colored with Copic markers. The color scheme makes this such a soft and feminine birthday card. The sweet little ladybug is an ideal topper for the mushroom.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for more amazing samples.
