Happy St. Patrick's Day Pup

 Hello Friends

ANNIVERSARY SALE ON NOW!! SHOP HERE FOR GREAT SAVINGS!!

I really can't believe how time flies!! I am starting my St. Patrick's Day cards already.  The one I am sharing today has a cute design that allows for a unique display.  I got this cute design from my friend Stacey.  I am featuring the Shamrock and Valentine Scottie die.

Design Step:

1.  Start with an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of white card stock. Score at 1/2 flip the card stock and score at 1/2 on the other end continue scoring 1 1/2, 3, 4, 5 1/2, 7, 8, 9 1/2

2.  Fold all score lines going all the same direction

3.  Put glue one the 1/2 fold on both ends and fold in to create two equal rectangles as shown above.  Do not glue the rectangles together

4.  Using the Valentine and Shamrock Scottie die cut out the following colors of card stock: green, light green, yellow grey, dark gray, black and brown

5.  Assemble the Scottie, I used little rhinestones for the eyes

6.  To assemble the card cut 2 strips of green 4 1/8 x 7/8, 2 strips of DP 4 1/8 x 1 1/4, cut a scallop circle in  green(cut in half), cut a piece of green 5 x 3 1/2 (round the top corners) cut a piece of DP 4 3/4 x 3 (round the top corners)

7.  Glue the DP green to the top and the plain green to the front and back.  Add the circle halves to the top

8.   Glue the DP to the green as shown above and add your sentiment

9.  Slide the St. Patrick's Day panel in between the two rectangles and glue in place. Add the Scottie and I also decided to add a little white fence on the front and back as shown.  Your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

We have a huge Presidents Sale going on in the store right now!  The sale ends tomorrow at midnight EST time.  You can save as much as 70% on some of the items.  It is a great time to stock up and cross off some of those dies on your wish list!! Check it out HERE.  

Today,  I am using 3 of the dies that are currently on SALE!  The Shamrock and Valentine Scottie, Pierced Oval Set,  and Spring Meadow.

Designer Steps:

1.  Use the Shamrock & Valentine Scottie die and cut the following colors of card stock: light gray, gray, green, light green, yellow, brown and black. Not pictured is the grass cut with the Spring Meadow die on green card stock

2. Ink the edges of the pieces with matching inks.  Assemble the pieces with a quick drying glue

3.  For the card base use an A2 cream card stock

• Cut light green card stock 4 x 5 1/4
• Cut cream card stock 5 x 3 3/4 and use the second from the largest Pierced Oval to cut the oval out of the center
• For the oval backing cut a piece of cream card stock 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 

4.  On the 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 piece ink the bottom half with green

5.  Glue the cream inked card stock to the light green card stock.  Glue the pieces of grass as shown.  Use dimension tape on the back of the cream card stock with the cut out oval. Then pop it over the grass

6.  Glue the pup to the center of the grass

7.  I added 3 four leaf clovers to the edge of the card.  To give the clovers dimension I used a stylus, white ink pen for the little veins and to soften the white I went over it with my YG03 Copic maker.  I inked the edges of the leaves with a darker green ink.  I also decided to change up the sentiment to make it pop a little more.  Your card is complete

Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I have a tag for you instead of a card. I used different dies from the previous release and made a tag you cab send to a friend to wish them luck.

For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Be My Valentine Puppies, Lucky Leprechaun, Shamrock & Valentine Scottie, St. Patrick's Day Cupcake, St. Patrick's Day Phrase & More, Mail Tag Set),
- Distress Inks (Black Soot, Mowed Lawn, Forest Moss) and Oxides (Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade)
- white card stock and watercolor paper for die cuts,
- silver pigment ink,
- gold pigment ink,
- white pigment ink,
- gold color spray,
- black pen,
- embossing tools,
- hole punch,
- white pen,
- heat gun,
- string,
- paper glue,
- adhesive foam pads.

First I cut and colored the heart.

Then I prayed it with gold and dried it with the heat gun.

Next I cut and colored the shamrocks and other pieces.

I used white pigment ink and white pen to make it a bit more realistic.

I added the shamrocks a little dimension using the embossing tools.

I wrote the sentiment with black pen.

 I punched a hole into the heart and glued a golden ring around it.

And then I just arranged the shamrocks and other pieces on the heart I used adhesive foam pad for the sentiment.

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

Anja Z.
