Let the Good Times Roll!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam sharing with you on this fine Thursday!

I have another Valentine for you today.  I am loving the color palette for this one.  I have done several of the Classic 50's card in it.  And I just can't seem to get enough of these wonderful colors.  This time I have designed a slimline using the Classic 50's Collection.  I used 3 of the dies to make this cute card they are: Classic Radio, Skates and Poodle Skirt.  

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a black slimline card base measuring 3 1/2 x 8 1/2

• Cut a piece of black and white checked DP 3 1/2 x 8 1/2
• Using the Whimsical Heart Slimline die cut a piece of white card stock
• Use the Stitched Heart set cut a black heart out of card stock using the largest heart
• Glue the checked DP to the card front and then glue down the white Whimsical Heart card stock
• Glue the black heart to the middle of the card

2.  Using the following dies Skates, Poodle Skirt and Classic Radio cut the pieces out of the following card stock: black, yellow, white, pink, light and dark gray, and turquoise 

3.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip, fast drying glue

4.  Arrange to skates side by side like pictured and pop them up inside of the black heart

5.  Add the radio to the top of the card and the poodle skirt to the bottom of the card by using dimension dots

6. Type your sentiment and print it on white card stock then layered it onto turquoise card stock. Glue it next to the skates on the left side.  Your card is complete

Group Post Black Friday Release Dies (Day 5)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store. You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We have been featuring group posts for the past several days to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed our first 4 posts, you could see them here, here, here and here.

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Melinda Beltran. She created a multi-layered holiday card. The colors, layout and designer paper come together perfectly for a beautiful non-traditional card. It's tailor-made for the friend or family member with that sweet tooth. We all know someone and this stylye card would be so fun to send out to them. 

To create her card she used the Fifties Soda Bar, Milkshake & Root Beer Float and the Cinema Drive-in Sign. 

Card 2: Our next samples for today are from Linh Van. She created 4x4 notecards using the Poodle Skirt & Rollerskate dies. I like the Bohemian style she achieved on the poodle skirt with her designer paper pattern. The "hi" phrase is from the 2018 Retro Alphabet die. One sale right now for 75% off. 

These would be perfect for a set of cards to give as a gift to a friend for her birthday or Christmas. Who wouldn't like to receive something handmade? Or to send yourself to let someone know you are thinking of them. That's always appreciated.  

That's it for our samples for today. Drop by again tomorrow for more inspiration.

Group Post Black Friday Release (Day 2)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store.  You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We will have group posts this week to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. The Design team has some great ideas for ways to use these new dies.

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Kristine Breach. I Love all the bright and bold colors she used to create an awesome center step fun-fold card. This card would be perfect for any age birthday. Or how about the young ones who are having sock hops for their birthday parties. You could make this card to go with the party theme. 

She is featuring the new Jukebox die for the main image. Her side panels are embellished with faux "vinyl" records from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die. The Happy Phrase on the bottom panel is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die.  The letters and decorative background panels are included with this die. 

This view shows the card inside. She ink blended the birthday phrase. It complements the card front.

And of course, the card folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard envelope. 

Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Pam MacKay. She is featuring a slimline design that has such great nostalgic appeal. The background checkerboard paper and her card colors really complete the retro look.  This one would be perfect for the classic car collector, someone who is turning 50 or who grew up in the fifties. I have family & friends in all these categories.  

She used the Classic Car (Side) for her main image. The phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. It's a perfect complement to the classic car. The other phrases are from an older 2018 collection - Route 66 Road Signs. They work perfectly with her card and are currently 75% off for our Black Friday sale. 

Card 3: The last sample for today is one that I, Mary Marsh, created. Turning 50 and images from the 50's are so perfect for my friend who is celebrating a 50th birthday soon. 

I used the Poodle Skirt die and cut from cardstock in a classic 50's look. I wanted to keep my card colors in pink and black - it's a feminine card after all (lol)!!! 

The Rock n Roll phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. I love the shadow. The Birthday phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die. My other embellishments -music notes and records- are from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die.  The arrow is from the 2018 Route 66 Road Signs die. It's 75% off right now. 

Well, that's it for our samples for today. Join us again on Friday for more team samples from this Classic 50's release.
