Awesome Chick

Hi!

It's Anja here for my Sunday post. While I'm still waiting for the new slimline dies and stamp sets to arrive, I'm still making cards with cute Country Farm release dies. This time I made a smaller card with a cute chick.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Cowgirl Chick, Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline),

- Distress Inks and Oxides,

- yellow, orange, red, light brown, dark brown, green and white card stock for die cuts,

- black pen, 

- white ink, 

- dark brown foam,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- scissors,

- plastic stencil (clouds),

- baby wipe, 

- scoring board, 

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored the chick. This time I used colored card stock and just emphasized the edges with Distress Inks. I also cut the hay from foam to give it some dimension. 

Next I cut the rectangle and made a card base out of it.  

Then I colored the card stock with Distress Oxide ink and added the clouds with a plastic stencil and baby wipe. 

Last I stamped the sentiment and cut it out.

 

 

When I had all the pieces ready I adhered the chick on the card base. I used adhesive foam pads for the chick and two layers of foam for the hay to give it more dimension. Last I added the sentiment and my card was done. 

And that's all from me for today. Before I go I want to invite you to The Scrapping Cottage online store to check the new Lil' Bluebird Designs release and Christmas in July Sale.

 

Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Herd it's your Birthday!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a slimline card. I'm excited to use one of the dies from the new Slimline die release.  There are 20 new dies in this amazing release! I combined the new die release with the original Slimline dies and the Country Farm dies to create a fun birthday card.

My card base was cut with the Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline die set and layered with the Hills Slimline die cut. The Farm Fence Slimline was trimmed down a bit to leave enough space for the Farm Truck w/Animals.  The Baby Farm Animals finished off the adorable farm scene along with a fun sentiment sign.

Here are the die set used on my card, available in the store:

Udderly Amazing

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a slimline card featuring some cows from the fun, new Country Farm release.  I used several of the slimline dies and the Country Farm Cows.

I started with this sketch from Splitcoaststampers.  When I saw the sketch I knew these cows would be perfect.

To start I cut the cows from white cardstock and colored using Distress Oxide inks.

These are the colors I used for the cows.  For my black I colored the cardstock with a black Copic marker.

I cut the base rectangle from the largest of the Nested Stitched Rectangles.  I used the third largest Rectangle and cut two - one from green and one from white.  I used the Clouds Slimline to create a stencil and stenciled the clouds on the white rectangle.  Using the Grass Slimline I cut the grass and glued it to the cloud panel.

For the sketch I needed to cut the cloud panel.  I wanted my stitched lines to be on the inside under the sentiment circle, so I cut 5 1/2 inches from the right.

Then I switched the two sides so my long side was on the left and the stitching in the middle.

I added the cows to the left side....

and heat embossed my sentiment in white on a red circle.

Be sure to visit the online store where there is huge July 4th sale going on right now.  Lot's of great dies are on sale including the Country Farm release.  And there is a NEW release of slimline dies that feature wonderful and unique designs!

Hay Girlfriend Peeker Card

It's Jeanne today with the Tuesday edition of the blog.  My card today is similar to the card I posted on June 4 - the instructions for that card are here. 

This card features  the Cow Peeker from the Country Farm Release.  There are two peekers on this release and both are adorable.  For my cards I made them into gift card holders!

I used Co'Ordinations cardstock that can be sanded to give a distressed look.  If you don't have this type of cardstock,you can used regular cardstock and sand it although you will need to add ink to give it a more distressed look.

The banners use the smallest of the new Nested Stitched Slimline Rectangles.  This die makes wonderful banners!

I also stamped and cut the sentiment.
