Love You Mom

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made a card for mom today. I used combination of new and older dies to make a card, full of spring flowers. 


For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Spring Flowers in Pot, Love You Mom Phrase, Rounded Rectangles Slimline),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (10x23 cm),

- water spritzer,

-scissors,

- heat gun,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored all the little pieces for the flowers. I cut the vase three times to give it a bit more dimension. 

Next I cut and colored the sentiment.

Then I started on the background. I used the smooching technique. When the paper was dry I colored around the edges with green ink.

I used all the left flowers to decorate the inside. First I cut the rectangle and colored it around the edges. Then I glued the flowers and greenery around the edges. I used the scissors to cut the parts that overlapped the edge of the paper.

I arranged all the parts together. I adhered the bouquet with the adhesive foam pads. And my card was done.



And that's all form me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again on Tuesday for my next post.

Birthday Garden

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

I am using one of our new slimline dies today and a variety of dies from our Springtime Release.  I have a number of birthdays coming up in the spring and summer months so I am getting a head start.



Design Steps:
1.  Begin by using a blue slimline card base and set aside.  Use the second from the largest Slimline Stitched Rectangle die and cut out 2 (one for the inside) using white card stock.  On the white rectangle for the front of the card use a blue ink and blender brush add some sky in the three spots as shown above
2.  Use the Victorian Fence die and cut out 3 pieces of fence on kraft card stock.  Using the Spring Grass die cut out 3 pieces of grass on green card stock.  Trim down the grass and fence then glue the grass to the bottom front of the fence.  Glue the fence bottom only to the card front in the area where you inked.  The reason you only glue down the bottom is so you can tuck in the flowers behind the fence
3.  Use the Spring Flower PotBunny Gnome 1Cat w/Spring Bird, Spring Bloom CottageBird w/ Bluebells, Mouse w/Flower Cart for all of your garden pieces.  I used 2 shades of green, purple, yellow, pink, tan, gray, black and vellum


4.  Assemble your flowers, watering can, birds, and bees.  Glue the flowers behind the fence as shown.  After your flowers are tucked in glue the top part of the fence down.  Pop up the watering can, bunny and bird as shown.  Glue the bees in place as shown,  add little pearls to the inside of your flower then stamp and add your sentiment. Your card is complete

I got a lot of use out of the Spring Release collection with different pieces from a variety of dies.  And I just love how it turned out.

Springtime Bluebird

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today and I have a fun, easy and sunny card for you today.  This card is made extra easy by the new slimline dies which give you lots of layout options!

I started by cutting three panels.  One from rose cardstock using the largest of the Nested Stitched Slimline dies, the next from a tone-on-tone white paper using the thirds largest of the Nested Rectangle Slimline dies and the third from green cardstock using the Windows Slimline dies.

 I adhered  the windows to the tone-on tone paper and centered that on the rose panel base.

I cut all my pieces from the Bird w/Bluebells, Spring Flowers in Pot and the older Hello Spring Bloom dies.  (It is so nice to mix new dies with what you may already own!) The flowers were colored with alcohol markers, the bird I colored with dye ink and brushes, and  the sentiment was cut from coordinating cardstock.

I placed my bird and bluebells first, followed by the sentiment.

Then I added my flowers and a few glitter enamel dots.  In this photo you can see the tone-on-tone leafy background.  It adds dimension to each frame.  If you don't have paper like this, an embossed background would do the same.

Spring Blossoms Thank You

Hello Friends,

It is Pam on the blog today!

Before we get started on today's card I wanted to let you know we are having a St. Patrick's Day day sale with savings up to 60% off selected stamps and dies.  The sale ends today at 9PM Pacific Time.  So hurry on over to the online store just click HERE.

For the card today I made a big beautiful flower arrangement for a special thank you card!



Design Steps:
1.  Start with an A2 white card base, cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (run it through an embossing folder that looks like linen) and a piece of dark brown 3 1/2 x 4 1/2.  Glue the white to the white card base and then the brown to the embossed white slightly toward the top of the card as shown above
2.  For the blue panel I used a piece of light blue mulberry paper 8 1/2 x 11 cut into 4 equal pieces.  I then stacked them together and lightly sprayed both sides with water just so the paper is damp not soaked.  Place them in your embossing folder and then run through the machine 

3.  After you run the mulberry paper through the machine let it dry.  After it is dry use the largest Pierced Rectangle die and cut it with that die.  This makes a really cool effect and textured feel

4.  Cut all the pieces in white using the Spring Flowers in a Pot die.  After you cut them out color with copic makers.  This takes a little time but I love the shading you achieve
5.  Begin building you flower pot on the embossed blue mulberry paper.  I put a large dimension dot under the pot to give it a rounded shape
6.  Start to arrange you flowers using some dimension dots under some of the flower and glueing others flat
7.  After your flower pot is complete put some glue on the back of the mulberry paper and adhere it to the dark brown card stock on the front of the card
8.  Using the Expressions Thank You die cut out 3 on whtie card stock.  Glue the 3 together for added strength and dimension.  Glue them to the bottom of the pot and your card is complete
