Hay Chickie

Hello!  This is Sukie and I have a card to share featuring the new Country Farm die release! This release has the most adorable die sets for creating those all occasion cards!

I cut out the sweet Cowgirl Chick, the Nested Stitched Scallop Oval and Oval using card stock.  Everything was inked on the edges to add some depth and dimension.

I found the most adorable paper in my stash which was layered on some kraft card stock. The double ovals were layered on top of my card base.

The cowgirl chick was nestled inside of the oval die cuts as the focal point of my card.  I added some glossy accents to her eyes for a glassy eyed look.

The fun sentiment was stamped in brown ink for a rustic look.  I hand cut the sentiment tag and inked it on the edges.

This card has a bit of a western flair and will be perfect for sending a simple hello!

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

Celebrate

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a celebratory card which is perfect for a young child's birthday or even anyone who is just a kid at heart.  The new slimline dies were perfect for this fun card.

I used the Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline dies for my card base pieces and just trimmed them to size. The other dies used on my card are the Circus Lion, the Celebrate Phrase, the Pierced Oval and Oval.

The first step in creating my card was to assemble the 3 pieces for the card background.The largest piece was adhered on a white card base with the other 2 pieces layered on top.

Next, the oval die cut was nested inside the pierced oval die cut and adhered in the center of my card.

The adorable circus lion was centered inside the double ovals as the focal point of my card.

The celebrate sentiment was affixed above the ovals on a curve for a whimsical appearance.

I Wheelie Love You!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a whimsical card to share for my design team post. It's been an absolute treat creating with the latest Circus die release which lend themselves to bright and cheery creations!  Head on over to the store to catch these die sets and many others on sale for President's Day!

For my card, I used the Pedaling Puppy, the Oval Set and the Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set.  All of the pieces were cut from card stock.

My card base was created using a couple of different patterns which seemed to work together.  I'm loving the festive pinwheel design.  

Once I layered my patterned papers on an A2 sized card, I affixed the 2 scallop die cuts in a nested style. The pop of red underneath the white oval brought all of the background colors together beautifully!

The little puppy on his trike bike was nestled inside the double ovals, fitting perfectly.

I found a fun sentiment to stamp on a hand cut flag.  The play on words sentiment was a great way to finish off this quick card!

Have A Nice Day

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a simple and clean card for you today. I combined two of the Safari release dies and made the scene below. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Safari Watering Hole, Safari Zebra, Oval Set),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (15x15 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts and paper stencil,

- black card stock,

- black pen,

- white pen,

- washi tape,

- brush,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored the watering hole. 

Next I cut and colored the zebra. This time I used black cardstock for black parts.

Then I did the background. I made a paper stencil using the oval set dies. I used the largest and cut it out of the white cardstock. I placed the stencil over the card base and set it with washi tape. I used a makeup brush to blend different shades of blue ink for the sky.

Then I added the sentiment.

And last I just added all the cut and colored pieces and my card was done. 

Thank you for stopping by. I wish you all a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.

Happy Birthday

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fun card to share.  I used one of the die sets from the Safari die release and changed it up to a birthday theme.  These die are so versatile and they work perfectly with all types of cards.

I used card stock to cut out all of the pieces from the Safari Ostrich, the Happy Birthday Phrase, the Oval Set and the Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set.  The Happy Birthday Phrase was cut out twice for layering.  I went with a neutral theme for my die cuts.

I selected a basic striped paper for my card base.  The diagonal stripes add an element of interest against the set of nested ovals.

I layered the "happy" sentiment and offset it a bit so the white would show.  The sentiment was adhered along the top edge of my card.

Next, I affixed the other half of my sentiment along the bottom edge of my card base.  The layering of the 2 colors adds a shadow element to my sentiment.

The Safari Ostrich was centered inside the set of ovals finishing off my card.  The colors are not my normal go to colors however, I'm really liking the look of the non-traditional theme on this card.
