Life Is Beautiful

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made a brand new scene on a card today. This reminds me of my holidays this year. Camping in nature, surrounded with mountains.


For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Camping Trailer, Moose & Trees, Woodland Pine Trees, Spring Grass, Snowy Mountains),

- die inks,

- craft paper card base (15x15 cm),

- white cardstock for background (14x14 cm) and die cuts,

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- silver pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- brushes,

- paper glue. 


First I cut and colored all the pieces. I cut two sets of mountains and grass and three sets of pine trees.

 
Next I did the background using inks and brushes. 

When I glued all the pieces to the card base I added the sentiment.

And my card was done.


Before I go I just want to remind you there's a huge Labor's day sale going on on The Scrapping Cottage online store. Make sure you get the dies on your wish list before the sale is over. 

Have a nice Sunday and see you again tomorrow with my additional post this week.

Extraordinary!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam creating with you today!

Today,  I am using the Narwhal die.  This sea creature is so unique I thought it would be a perfect die to use to let a friend know how unique and extraordinary she is!! So the card I am making is one of encouragement with a little whimsy thrown in.  I am hoping it brings a smile to her face!

Design Steps:
 1.  Using the Arctic Snowy Tree die cut 2 trees using green and white card stock.  Using the Snowy Mountains die cut it out using gray and white card stock
 2.  Assemble the trees and the mountain using a fine tip glue
 3.  Cut a piece of blue card stock 4 x 5 1/8, cut a 3 x 5 1/8 piece of green card stock and then make a freehand cut rolling hill on the top.  Use of piece of wave DP 3 x 5 1/8 and cut out the top of the waves
 4.  Cut out a piece of green card stock 4 1/8 x 5 1/4 for the background.  Glue the waves to the bottom of the blue card stock leaving room to slip in the green grass and on the green grass glue it down leaving room to slip in the mountains

5.  Next slip in the 2 pine trees and add a row of the wave DP at the bottom.  Glue just the bottom of that piece so you can slip in the Narwhal
6.  Using the Arctic Whale and Narwhal die cut the Narwhal out of gray card stock and his tusk out of white.  Shade the Narwhal with gray ink and his tusk with a light tan ink.  Use a black marker for his eye.  Slip the sea creature into the waves and add your sentiment

Adventure Awaits!

Happy New Year Cottage Cutz fans!  I hope your year has started off great!  Mine has been quite nice although having a day off in the middle of the week has thrown me off a bit.

For today's card, I'm using new dies from the Arctic Friends and 2019 Christmas release.
This card would be perfect for anyone who loves to camp or go on road trips.
To start, I cut all the pieces from various colors of cardstock and vellum, and assembled.  I used Distress Oxide inks in Vintage Photo to give some shading to the edges.
Next I cut two sets of mountains in two shades of gray using the Snowy Mountains dies.  To give variety, I used the snow portion in gray for one set.  I decided that if I were camping, it probably wouldn't be in the winter, so I wanted my mountains "snow free".  I used the DO ink on the edges here as well.
For the sky I used a cloud stencil and a light blue ink.
I created the grass by blending three colors of green ink.  After these were done I began assembling the card on a top folding A2 card base.
I first layered the cloud panel, then the grass and finally placed my mountains.  I cut off the over hanging edges of the mountains.
I placed washi tape that looks like a road about 3/4" from the bottom and adhered the word Adventure from the Camping Phrases die.
Using foam dots, I popped up the card and trailer.  I'm very pleased with how this card came out - it may be my husband's birthday card!  However that's not for a several months and I'll probably make him ten more cards by then!  ;)

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  This is Sukie and I have a fun card to share on this New Year's Day created with the new Arctic Animals die release.  I combined several of the new dies on one card!
I wanted to create a snowy scene for the sweet Arctic Animals so I went with a blue and gray theme. The fun sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Farm Fresh stamp set which was perfect for my card.
I shaded all of my die cuts with some Oxide Inks and also used the inks for the two hand cut pieces at the bottom of my card base.
The scene was built with the hand cut hills and Snowy Mountains. Next, the Arctic Snowy Trees were tucked in behind the mountains.
The puffin from the Arctic Birds set was placed in front of the mountains and the Baby Walrus was added on the left hand side of my card.  The husky is from the Husky w/Sled die set.
The Arctic Baby Fox was tucked in next to the husky and the penguin from the Arctic Penguins & Igloo die set.
My card was finished off with the sentiment flag which was trimmed to fit in the upper right hand corner.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Have a happy and prosperous New Year!

Adventure Awaits

Hi! Janja is here today with a card for all adventure travel lovers.


- CottageCutz dies: Arctic Whale & Narwhal, Snowy Mountains, Seal & Walrus Pals, Camping Phrases, Woodland Pine Trees
- white card blank: 5.5 x 5.5" (14 x 14 cm), folded
- light blue paper: 2.2 x 5.3" (5,6 x 13,5 cm)
- blue paper: 3.4 x 5.3" (8,6 x 13,5 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

First, start making a card by cutting out all of its elements.
I cut all my pieces out of colored cardstock. You can also use white cardstock, and color all the pieces with any color media.


For both islands I used floating ice sheets and for different conifers only their upper parts.


Use colored paper in two shades of blue for the sky and the sea.
Cut the mountains from white cardstock. Use them as a stencil to shade the sky behind the mountains. Now paste the mountains to the shaded spot.
Shade a part of the sea with a bit darker ink pad.


Paste both papers with a double-sided adhesive tape to get a 5.3 x 5.3 inches (13.5 x 13.5 cm) background.
Cut or tear off a strip from the same paper as the sea.
Paste a white "Adventure" cutout on the right.


Paste the forest to both islands and all together on the background. Paste the Arctic Whale on the back of the strip.
Finish the card by attaching the strip to the bottom edge with foam self-adhesive pads.



Have a nice day.
Janja
