Easter Sunday

Hello Friends

It is Pam filling in for Wendy today.  I am starting to make a few of my Easter cards to get a little ahead.  The New Release die I am using is Baptism.  It has several really nice pieces that can be used in a number of different cards such as Easter, Weddings, Baptism and Sympathy.

Design Steps:

1.  I am using a mini white slimline for a base 6 1/4 x 6 1/2 folded in half.  Using the second from the largest Stitched Rectangle Slimline die I was able to make the cuts work using yellow DP.  Cut orange flowered DP 5 1/2 x 2 3/4.  Last cut a piece of orange dotted DP 5 1/2 x 1 3/4 and use a border punch on the bottom of it

2.  Ink all of the edges of the white card base and the DP before you glue together.  Glue down the yellow to card base next the flowered DP and last the dotted DP as shown above

3.  Using the Baptism die cut out the pieces in brown wood DP, white, yellow DP, and black (black Bible and little orange flowers not pictured). Cut the squares from yellow DP with the 4th from the smallest Pierced Square die

4.  Glue the squares at a diagonal as shown above.  Pop up the church in the middle, glue down the Bibles and the Cross flat.  Add the little orange flowers cut with Sending Hugs Bear add little pearls to the inside of the flowers and glue down your sentiment

Birthday Wishes

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

It is time to make the CottageCutz family a little bigger.  We are adding a brand new line of Photopolymer Clear Stamps call Lil' Bluebird Designs.  We are kicking off this new line with 16 new stamp sets that have coordinating dies.  Make sure to check all of them out by clicking HERE. 

 Today, I am featuring the Happy Birthday set.  

Design steps:

1.  Using the Happy Birthday set stamp the images in Memento Black.  Use your Copic makers (colors pictured below) to color your images and then cut them out with the coordinating dies

2.  Using the second from the smallest Pierced Square die cut out 4 white squares.  Blend the squares with a blue ink

3.  Create little scenes with the critters.  I used Spring Grass cut on green card stock and Hills Slimline for the brown card stock hills.  When the scenes on each square are complete I cut 4 white Scalloped Squares using the second from the smallest die.  Then I layered the pieced squares on top of the scalloped square

4.  Pop up the little squares as shown above.  Stamp your sentiment which is also included in the Happy Birthday stamp set.  And your card is complete

Ho Ho Ho!

Hi!

It's Anja here with another Christmas card. I used one of the cute gnomes die.

 

For this card I used: 

- Cottage Cutz dies (Gnome w/ Chimney, Pierced Square Set, Build A House Set 2),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (15x15 cm),

- red card stock for die cuts and background (14,5x14,5 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts and background (11x11 cm),

- green card stock for background (10x10 cm),

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- paper trimmer,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored the gnome in the chimney. This time I used red and white card stock for die cuts.

Next I trimmed the background pieces. I used the biggest die from the Pierced Square Set for the smallest square piece.

Next I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white paper.

And after that I put all the pieces together and my card was done.

That's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again next Sunday.

 Anja Z.

Trick or Treat Ghost

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today!

We have some very cute Halloween dies that are not to scary for anyone you might want to send them too!  I have a very young great niece and nephew that are the perfect age to send a sweet Halloween card too.  I love seeing the wee little ones all dressed up for Halloween. I am using this adorable ghost with his Halloween balloon and pumpkin treat bucket.

Design Steps

1.  I am using a black card stock base with a gate fold.  You start with an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of black card stock then you score it at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8 inches and then fold

2.  Cut 4 pieces of Halloween DP 2 x 5 1/4 and purple DP 4 x 5 1/4.  Use your Pieced Square die second from the largest and cut a piece of purple DP and then layer it onto black card stock

3.  Glue the 4 pieces of Halloween DP to the front flaps of the card and on the inside flaps

4.   Glue the purple DP to the center of the inside of the card.  Glue the purple pierced square to a layer of black

5.  Using the Trick or Treat Ghost die cut out the pieces using orange, black, yellow, white and purple card stock

6.  Using a fine tip glue assemble the little ghost.  Use a fine tip black marker to add the ghost's eyes and the bats eyes.  Dot with the ghost's eyes with a white gel pen

7.  Pop dot the ghost to the purple square

8.  Stamp your sentiment and layer it onto purple then black card stock.  Glue the Ghost square as shown making sure you only put glue on the left side of the panel.  Next so the same for the sentiment

9.  For the inside I cut an additional little pumpkin and I also cut a rectangle using the 3rd from the largest Pieced Rectangle die out of white.   Stamp the sentiment and glue it to the inside along with the little pumpkin.  Your card is complete

Jaws!

Hello My Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam on the blog today!

When I lived in South Carolina near the beach there were multiple shark sightings!  Needless to say when that happened the beaches cleared out very quickly!  The card I am sharing today reminds me of those days on the beaches in Hilton Head.  As a matter of fact this is going to one of my friends on the East Coast.

And don't forget to check out this release of dies in the online store.  This selection of dies features Pirates and Sea Creatures! There are 14 awesome designs in the collection and you are going to want each and everyone of them.   And there is more!! There is another brand new set of dies out called Beach and Tropical Release.  Be watching for our team to create some card designs with this awesome collection.

 1.  Cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 then using the largest Pierced Square die cut a square out of the middle of the 4 1/8 x 4 1/8 piece.  This will create a white frame.  Use a white A2 piece of card stock as the card base.  Cut out a 4 x 4 piece of ocean DP and a 1 x 4 piece of brown card stock cut with a slight hill for the ocean floor

2.  Using the Shark die cut out grey and white card stock.  Use the Mermaid die to cut out the seaweed in two shades of green.  Last use the Paddle and Rope Ladder die to cut out the rope and starfish

3.  Glue the Ocean DP flat to the center of the card front and add the ocean floor.  Place dimension tape to the back of the white frame and attach it around the ocean

4.  Shade all of the die cut pieces and using a fine tip glue applicator assemble the pieces

5.  Glue down the seaweed and add the rope.  Next finish by added additional seaweed, starfish and the shark

6.  I also used some additional tiny fish from the Paddle and Rope Ladder cut.  I cut them in navy and added them above the shark.  Stamp your sentiment and layer onto green and your card is complete
