Just For You

Hi!

It's Anja here for my Throwback Tuesday post. For today's post I used three dies from Springtime release and made a simple and classy card.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Flowers in Jar 1, Spring Flowers in Jar 2, Spring Flowers in Jar 3, Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline, Nested Rectangles Slimline),

- grey card base (9x23 cm),

- white and patterned card stock for die cuts,

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- scissors,

- washi tape,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut all the flowers. I cut two sets of each. I arranged it and glued it on patterned paper. Then I cut the rectangle out of the paper. I used the third largest die from the set. I also cut a scalloped rectangle from white card stock. I used washi tape to help me die cut the slimline dies. I glued both cuts on the grey card base. Last I added the stamped sentiment. I adhered it with adhesive foam pads. And my card was done.


And that's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

If Friends Were Flowers Slimline

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

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store. Your slimline cardmaking is going to get a lot easier. We have 9 Slimline designs and they are on a 25% off sale. These are wonderful, basic dies that should be a part of every card maker's collection especially if you are liking the new slimline style.

Have you ever needed to make a last minute card for a gift or a birthday or anniversary that you forgot about? Well, today I have for your viewing pleasuring a CAS style card that would be very easy to reproduce.  

I am using the Spring Flowers in Jar 1, 2, 3 dies and I created a card in the slimline style. So let's get started on some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I started by cutting the images in white cardstock. I thought they would standout nicely against a bold and bright background. 
Next I cut the image panel. I used just the double stitched rectangle from the new Lift Flaps Stitched Rectangle Slimline die and cut it from a bright magenta cardstock. 
I wanted an additional layer so I used the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline and I cut in black cardstock to continue with the bold look. 
I stamped my sentiment in black ink directly on the magenta image panel.  With this sentiment I will be able to use this card for a variety of occasions by stamping another sentiment on the inside. 
Now I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the image panel to the black scalloped layering panel with double sided tape. Then I attached the Flower jars using Ranger multi medium matte. 
To complete my card I cut a white card base measuring 3 1/8" x 8 1/2". I will add another sentiment on the card inside. 
I attached the image panel with double sided tape and scattered a few white faceted enamel dots. 
And that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a slimline card using both the Spring and Slimline dies. See you next Saturday.

Spring Flowers Note Card Set

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today and I a note card set for you that features the three Spring Flowers in Jar dies from the new release.  These cards are quick to make and are the perfect size when you want to write a quick note or attach to a gift.

The cards are 3 1/2 x 5 inches.  I cut card bases for them from white cardstock but then used Bristol cardstock panels for my washes.  You can also use mixed media paper or watercolor paper for the front panels. 

 When I create a wash I tape the paper to a masonite board.  This ensures minimal warping of my paper.  For these cards I used ZIG Kuretake water pens and a brush for the water.  I like these because they have brush nibs and blend well.  You can also use regular watercolors or your dye inks.

For each card I picked two or three main colors and kept inking until the wash had good saturation.  I also would periodically lay down the die (blade down) to make sure my wash was roughly the correct shape.  I wanted the die cut to fit inside the wash.

After all three were finished and dry (and I use a heat tool to speed up drying) I used my stamping platform to stamp "Hello" in the lower right corner of the three panels.

I die cut my flowers from black cardstock.  Because these are fairly intricate dies I used a self-adhesive sheet on the back.  

You can see that the panels are still a bit warped.  I used several heavy books placed on top to help flatten them.

 All that was left was to adhere the panels to the card bases and add a clear crystal "water" drop.  These cards were very quick to create with regards to hands on time.  The hardest part for me was letting them sit under the books for a few hours to flatten out!

I hope you've enjoyed my cards today.  Be sure to visit the online store where the new release is discounted for a limited time!

Oopsy Daisy . . . I'm Sorry I Forgot!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a quick card. The die cuts on my card are from the new Springtime release. This release definitely make me eager for Spring!

I used the Spring Flower Jar die sets to create my card.  Jar 1, Jar 2 and Jar 3 were cut out in white card stock and then masked off to shade the flowers, greenery and jars.

To create the background for my card, I used a brick stencil and some ink to shade the white card stock.  I also inked the edges of my card panel. Next, I splattered it with some black paint for a bit of interest.

A strip of card stock was inked up to coordinate with the background and adhered across the panel.  The largest flower jar was placed in the center of my card.
A second jar was adhered on the right side of my card using the strip of card stock as a guide for placement.
The final jar finished off my card.  The flowers added a pop of color to the subtle brick background.
The sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and affixed in the bottom right corner of my card.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:
