May Your Day Bloom with Happiness

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a card to share featuring the Magical Garden dies.  This whimsical scene was created with the Flower Pot House die set.

This die set has so many detailed pieces that come together to create the adorable Flower Pot House.  I also cut out the Picket Fence Border to coordinate with my other die cuts.  Everything was shaded with some Distress Inks.

The picket fence was trimmed on the edges so it would fit along the base of my card.  I created a sign by stamping a sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Flower Power stamp set on some card stock.  After punching a couple of holes on the top corners, I tied some Totally Natural Trendy Twine to finish off my sign.

I created the soft background by inking my card base in a couple of different colors.  The picket fence was added to the bottom portion of the card base.  A couple of flowers were tucked into the fence posts.

The Flower Pot House was anchored perfectly between the picket fence pieces to create a whimsical scene.

The sign was adhered at an angle above the pot.  A flower shaped brad was perfect for holding up the sign.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in shop:

Farm Scene

Good Morning Friends!

It is Pam creating with you today!

I know so many girls and boys love horses.  So I thought it would be fun to create a farm scene using the horse from our Magical Fantasy release.  I have to admit I love horses too!  This card also combines some dies from other releases.  I love mixing the old and new dies!!

Designer Steps:

 1.  Using the Royal Horse die cut out the body in dark brown card stock.  Then cut out the mane and hooves in tan.  Color the tan hooves black with your favorite markers.  Then use TH ink to shade the mane and add a little pink to the inner ear.  Assemble the horse

 2.  Using the Barn and Windmill die cut out the barn in white.  Color the barn pieces using a black and red marker

 3.  Assemble the barn

 4.  Cut a piece of designer cloud paper 4 x 5 1/4 and add the barn and grass

 5.  Using the Picket Fence Border die cut out a white fence.  Using the Spring Grass die cut out to rows of grass in the same green and as the background grass.  Glue down the fence and then the 2 layers of grass as shown.  Then add the horse

6.  Use a white A2 card base cut a slightly smaller piece of red and glue it to the front.  Then add the panel with the horse and barn and your card is complete

Black Friday Release DT Samples

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the brand new Black Friday Release Bundle.
There are 16 new pet designs in this release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 30% off. Or you can purchase the entire release for $99.95 and you will save 60%.

For the next several days, we will be featuring samples from the design team using these new dies. We wanted to  give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon, our new guest designer. She is featuring the Fancy Feline die. She created such a fun card with this whimsical new die.

Don't you just love how the adorable cat is nestled on top of her own kitty condo.  The ball of yarn and tiny mouse add a fun element to the scene. She framed the images with the Nested Stitched Scallop Circle die.
 This card is the perfect way to say hello to the cat lover in your life. Her sentiment completes the theme of the card so perfectly.

Card 2: Our next sample is from Lois Bak. She created a cute birthday card featuring the Doghouse w/Pup & Hydrant die. She placed the puppy in a fun outdoor scene using patterned paper for her sky and grass. The picket fence just adds to the overall appeal of her card.  

Did you notice how she personalized the plaque on the dog house by stamping a witty sentiment. This card design would be ideal for children or adults who may be celebrating a birthday.  

Card 3: The final sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the super cute Peeking Puppy die. I also created an outdoor scene for the lovable little pup.

His little friendly  face would put a smile on anyone's face when they open this card. He looks like he is so eager to give some love. So I thought a sending hugs phrase was so appropriate for this card of encouragement. The sending hugs sentiment is from a previously released die.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some inspiration if you already bought these dies. And if you are contemplating a purchase, don't wait to long, The dies are on sale for a limited time.

 

Stop by again tomorrow for more team samples.
