Hello Spring Peeker Bunny Easel Card

Happy Terrific TuesDIE Scrapping Cottage friends!
Melinda here with you today. I am super excited to be sharing with you today. Tuesdays will be my new day to post! So today I am sharing a cute little card I created with dies from the new SPRING RELEASE! Here's my project.

I created this cute Easel card featuring the Bunny in Pocket Die.


To create the Easel Fold

I started with a piece of cardstock measuring 4.25 x 11. That is exactly half of a letter size piece of cardstock. I folded it at the 5.5 mark. That is in half. I then folded the "top" or the right side in half again. I simply folded it to the center fold line.

Here's a picture of the two folds. It is hard to se the center fold on the left, but it is there.

Next I took a piece of white cardstock and cut it to 4.25 x 5.5. I added a pretty patterned paper mat to the top. That mat measures 4 x 5.25. I put adhesive on the bottom half only of the top folding. Next I put the mat onto the top part and lined up the bottom and sides. So only half of the mat is adhered to the base.

Here's a view of the side of the card with the base. This shows you that the mat is only attached to that bottom half. Once that is done, I went ahead and assembled my layers and the main die onto the card.

Here is the panel I added to the "bottom inside" of the card. This piece acts as a stopper of sorts for the top piece. It allows for that piece to be on top.


Here you can see all the fun dimension the layers have. I put some foam tape behind the mats to get them a little extra dimension. I added a sweet little bow in a matching yellow ribbon.

All of these pieces with the exception of the pocket started out as plain white cardstock. I have used this sweet little die in a couple other projects, but this one has a gray bunny. The others I colored that sweet little bunny in more of a brown. If you would like to see those projects head over to that blog post. CLICK HERE.




Here's another look at my finished project.




The Dies I used to create this project:




I used the Stitched Scallop version. That one is currently unavailable, but this is an excellent alternative.

Bunny Birthday Hugs & Kisses (new die)

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 Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. The individual dies are currently at 30% off.

There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there. And the dies don't have to be used strictly for Spring or Easter. Today I have a birthday card using the new Peeker Bunny w/Pocket die and the Spring Sentiments die. So, let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

This week I started with the card colors. I used the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #881. We were to use gorgeous grape, smoky slate and crushed curry for the color trio. Optional was to use our favorite green. 
gorgeous grape, smokey slate, crushed curry
Next, I chose my designer paper and card base. I have many green shades that I like but for this card I chose pear pizzazz because of this heart designer paper. 

pear pizzazz card base: 4 1/4' x 5 1/2"
designer paper layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Then I cut the peeker bunny and pocket in the challenge colors. This sweet little bunny is just too sweet. I love the expression on her sweet face and how she peeks up over the pocket holding a flower. I thought the image was just right for my friend's summer birthday.
The bunny sentiment is from the Spring Sentiments die. Notice the bunny ears on the phrase. How cute is that? 
For the stamped sentiment, I cut a banner from a light green designer paper and stamped the phrase in the gorgeous grape ink. I used my MISTI for placement and because I thought it might need a double ink. And turns out it needed a triple inking.  
Now that all my card elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the designer paper to the card base and the bunny & pocket with double sided tape. 
I attached the bunny phrase with Art Glitter Glue. A great adhesive that dries clear. The banner is attached with double sided tape. And that's my card for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new die. See you next Saturday!

Slimline Shaker

Hi, everyone it seems like the weekends go by so quickly as Monday is here again.  Today I am sharing a slimline window shaker card with two of the new release from the January 2022 release!  Peekers Bunny w/Pocket and Spring Kitten w/Envelope how cute?!! 
CARD

1.  I took the slimline window die and cut it using patterned paper.  I couldn't decide between red and teal so I actually cut it out twice
2.  I then cut two layers of the window using foam so that I could add height for my shaker window.  I added some acetate for the window and then adhered all the layers together

3.  I used some flock paper I had to cut out the bunny and cat to make them more life-like or give them a better look of fur and I love how it turned out.  

I glued all the layers together and added some sequins to my shaker window to complete the look of my card and I hope everyone enjoyed my shaker card and see you next Monday same time same place!

Bunny Peeker Treat Box w/ Bonus Card

Happy Sunday Scrapping Cottage friends!
Melinda here with you today. It's another Sunday Funday and I hope you are enjoying some crafting! I am sharing a little more spring inspiration featuring dies from the new SPRING RELEASE! Today's project is a super cute little box with the adorable new Peeker Bunny w/ Pocket Die for the front!

The new Peeker Bunny w/ Pocket Die is part of the fantastic new Spring Release! I started by cutting out my die pieces in white cardstock. I then colored my various pieces in with my markers. I did also cut out the pocket piece in blue cardstock as well as a patterned paper for the sides of the box mats from my Doodlebug paper pad.


I decided to make my Peeker Bunny w/ Pocket the front of a cute little treat box, instead of a card. The box size I ended up using comfortably holds 3 Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares with some tissue. That's the perfect amount for a little gift for your co-worker's, teachers, etc. this spring season.

Box Assembly
I settled on starting with a piece of paper 5.25 x 5.25 size.


I scored all four sides at 1 5/8th. That is the next 1/8" line past the 1/2" mark.

Here is what it looks like when scored. It is not a perfect square size. I settled on this size to match the width of the pocket piece as close as possible.

Next you will want to cut it as shown. The easiest way to remember how to do this is just cut the line of the outside score to the first cross line. Then do a quarter turn and repeat. Do this all the way around. You will also want to cut a little slice out so that it makes assembly easy.

This photo shows you where to apply your adhesive. You will put it on the "top" of each of the four corner tabs you created. Once you do this, simply fold up the box and adhere the sides.

Here is what it looks like assembled.

This is a slight segue. I wanted to share all the various size boxes I worked up before I settled on my size. I wanted to come up with one that was as close to the width of the pocket without making it too complicated. Can you tell I am not the greatest at math?....LOL!

Here is one more look at the finished box. After I assembled it and took my photos, I realized I left off the sweet little ladybug that sits on top of the flower!!!! UGH! SOOOO.... I had to get it on somewhere!!! 

So I whipped up this cute card. I had extra pieces, so this came together easily. 
My finished card size is a 5x5 top folding card. I used a piece of white cardstock for my base. I then used the same blue cardstock for the pockets as a base mat. On top of that I layered some Doodlebug patterned flowers paper, a strip of some of the bright green paper in the same pad. I then used the Wacky Stitched square for another base and then some more Doodlebug patterned paper for a mat. I set my sweet little bunny in her pocket on top of that. I did add a little foam tape to the back of the die cuts to give them just a bit of lift and dimension.

Here is a side view. You can see that sweet little ladybug on top of this flower. 


Here you can see I used the double stitched rectangle and the hello and spring words from the Hello Spring Bunny Cottage.
