Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahin Krafts, back with another CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I created this adorable card using the "Playful Piggies" and the "Country Farm Barn" dies. 

We have two pet piggies, Petunia and Peach.  I thought it would be fun to make the upcoming pig sitter a thank you card!  Peach is on the front of the card, and Petunia is saying thanks inside.

You can find all the card details plus, photos of the piggies over on the YouTube Channel!

While over on the channel, make sure you like and comment for a chance to win the "Playful Piggies" die!

The winner of the "Little Flowers" die from my last video is Margaret D, the details for collecting your giveaway prize are over on YouTube!  

Thanks for stopping in, and happy krafting!

Happy Birthday

It's Anja here. I have a birthday card for you today. This time I used patterned paper for the background to emphasize this cute piggie.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Playful Piggies, Pierced Rectangle Set),

- Distress Inks,

- craft card base (12,6x12,6 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts and background (3,5x12 cm),

- patterned card stock for background (12x12 cm),

- brown card stock for background (12,4x12,4 cm; 4x12 cm),

- black pen, 

- white ink,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the pig. 

Next I cut the background parts. I used patterned and brown card stock.

I stamped the sentiment on a white strip of card stock. I also cut another strip of brown card stock to go underneath.

I placed all the parts to my card base and adhered it. Last I added the rectangle with the pig. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere that one. And my card was done.

 

And that's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again tomorrow for my Monday's post.

Hogs and Kisses

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fun card to share for my design team day.  The new Country Farm die release has been a delight to create with.  There are so many adorable die sets available for a variety of creations!

For today's card, I used the Playful Piggies and Piggy w/Crate die sets using colored card stock.  I also cut out 2 circle from the Pierced Circle Set with white card stock.  All of the die cuts were inked on the edges for added dimension.

For my card base, I used the Nested Rectangles Slimline die set to cut out my patterned paper and inked it on the edges.

The two pierced circles were adhered on top of my slimline card base, leaving a bit of space between them for a sentiment tag.

The Piggy w/Crate was affixed inside the bottom circle on my card.

I placed the Playful Piggy inside the top circle along with the mud splatters surrounding him.

A fun sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and adhered between the 2 circles.

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

Missing you "pig" time

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Monday edition of the Blog.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies from Tractors to Cowboy Chicks! Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. All of the new dies are on sale at 25% off.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Playful Piggies die and I created a missing you card to send to my precious little granddaughter. She loves pigs and will definitely like this card. I thought we might get to see them this summer but I am not sure at this point. They live in California and I am in Pennsylvania. 

My card started with the layout. I found this sketch online and thought it would work well for the image I am using. The designer paper is 5" square, the teal layering panel is 5 1/8" and the pink cardstock is 5 3/8" square. 

I had this designer paper in my collection. I liked the trees with the farm image piggy. 

I cut teal cardstock for the 3 background strips. They are 1/4" x 5".  I used teal enamel dots on the left side and bottom of the designer paper. The punny sentiment is stamped in teal ink. My granddaughter will laugh at this once her Mom explains it to her. 
  

That's my card for today. I will be back on Saturday with another sample from this new Country Farm release.
