Dream under the Stars

Hi!

It's Anja here. I'm a big fan of camping. Always was, always will be :) I would easily trade a five star hotel for sleeping under the stars. I hope I will be able to go camping for a few more days this summer.  And here is my camping card.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Campfire Clothesline, Dream Phrase, Grass Tress & Vines, Pierced Circle Set, Spring Bunny w/ Flowers),
- Distress Inks (Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Black Soot, Stormy Sky, Seedless Preserves, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Wild Honey, Forest Moss),
- Craft card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock square (14,6x14,6 cm),
- watercolor paper (two 14,2x14,2 cm squares),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- white acrylic paint,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the backgrounds. I used Distress Inks. I shaded the first one from outside in and the second one from bottom to top. I started with lighter colors and then added darker shades. Over the black I shaded with blue and purple again.

Then I sprinkled a few water drops over the colored background and made some little stars with the brush and white acrylic paint.


When the backgrounds were drying I die cut all the other pieces, colored and glue them together.


I colored the pieces as usually and them shaded them with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to make them look darker around the edges.



In the end I just glued all the pieces together. The tent in the front and all the camping equipment inside the card.





Have a nice Sunday.

Friends

Hi!

It's Anja here. My inspiration for today
's card were little kittens that we currently have at home. They are so cute and like to cuddle a lot. So I made a card with cats on it. They are chatting like friends always do.


I used:
- Cottage Cutz Dies (Friends Phrase, Kitty with Spring Chicks, Sweet Spring Kitty, Flowerpot Mini, Springtime Window, Grass Trees & Vines, Spring Bunny w/Flowers),
- Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Wild Honey, Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Scattered Straw),
- Distress Oxides (Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Worn Lipstick),
- white card base (20 x 16 cm),
- white paper (19,8 x 15,8 cm and 19,5 x 15,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- Nuvo Crystal Drops (Dandelion Yellow),

- adhesive foam pads,
- embossing folder,
- glue,

- black and white pen.

First I die cut all the pieces. Both cats and the window are rather big, that's why I needed to cut them first and then adjust the size of the card base. I colored the pieces with Distress Inks and Oxides. I used blending foams for adding color. I also used little make up sponge applicator to add stripes on both cats.








I finished the flowers with some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Then I cut the card base which is larger than usual (21 x 16 cm). I also cut two larger white rectangles. I cut a hole in the smaller one (for the window) and embossed it with an embossing folder to make it look like the outside of the house. I lightly used Scattered Straw Distress Ink on top to add some color. I also added red Oxide ink around the edges of the middle sized rectangle.


When I had all the pieces finished I started to glue them together. I started with the cat behind the window. I glued the embossed paper with adhesive foam pads. And then added all the other elements on top.





And for the end, one of my cute inspirations. The other two were to fast for me and my camera :)


Have a nice and sunny Sunday.

Hello Sweet Baby

Hi!

It's Anja here and I have a cute baby card for you today. I used a few baby animal dies and combined them with the new expressions dies. It's such a fun to play with them :)


I used:
- CottageCutz dies (Hello Phrase, Sweet Phrase, Baby Koala w/ Blanket, Spring Bunny w/ Flowers, Stork, Sweet Baby Lamb, Grass, Trees & Vines),
- Distress Inks and Oxides (Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Faded Jeans, Broken China, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade),
- white card base (10 x 21 cm),
- blue card stock (20,6 x 9,6 cm),
- white card stock (for die cuts),
- white paper and patterned paper (9,2 x 20,2 cm),
- black pen,
- glue,
- Versafine Onyx black stamp pad,
- alphabet stamp set.

First I die cut all the pieces from white card stock, colored them with Distress Inks and Oxides and glued them together. 





Then I cut blue and colored paper (the measurements are written above).


And then I just put all the pieces together using paper glue. To finish the sentiment I stamped "baby" to the inside of the card. I used silicone alphabet stamps.


I also decorated the envelope. I used sentiment stamp that seemed just perfect to go with the stork. 


And this is the finished card from the inside ...


... and the outside. 





The new expressions dies go so well with all the cute Scrapping Cottage images. I am really looking forward to show you all the other projects where I paired them. And to see all the new dies check out these video made by Janet where she showcases them all.


And also go check The Scrapping Cottage store for the Memorial Day Sale and get all the new dies for a lower price.


Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful sunday.
