DT Samples- Spring Day 4

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Thursday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Spring dies release.

They are in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They will be perfect for your Easter and Spring card making. We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Easter or Spring cards using these new dies. So let's get started with some details on the cards for today. We have 2 different styles today- a religious as well as a whimsical theme. 

Card 1: Our first card today is from Pam MacKay. She used the new Calla Lily Cross die to create this beautiful Easter card. It's a representation of the Christian faith and Easter. 

She used thick gold foil and put it through her die cut machine with the embossing mat instead of the cutting plate. It came out beautifully and with such elegant detail. The cross is framed with the pierced ovals die.  Her background designer completes her card. 

Card 2: Our next sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Bunny Truck and Bunny Treats dies, along with the clouds from Spring Frogs to create this fun outdoor scene. For the  grassy knoll she used designer paper and a plate as a template for the curve. The sky background is also designer paper. This would be a great card to make multiples and send out for Easter. 

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new Spring dies. We will be back again tomorrow with more samples from the team. And, if you are thinking of getting any of these new dies, they are on sale for a limited time in the online store.

DT Samples - Spring Day 1

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Sunday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Spring dies. 

They are in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They will be perfect for your Easter and Spring card making. We thought you might like to have some new and creative ideas for your Easter or Spring cards using these new dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Card 1: Our first card today is from Anja Zurga. She used the new Spring Blooms die to create this beautiful wreath. It could be used for Easter, Get Well, Birthday or Thinking of you cards.   

She embossed her "you are wonderful" sentiment first and then used the smooching technique to create the colorful background. Basically that technique is laying ink on your mat, spraying a bit of water and then smoosh your cardstock into the ink. 

To help with the layout of the flowers, she used the wide pierced circle frame set. She cut the circle and arranged the flowers on top. You get exact results every time! 

The flowers are all colored with various distress inks. This is a perfect card to welcome Easter or Spring.

 

Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She is featuring the new Easter Egg Hunt die and created a fun and whimsical Easter card. 

Her landscape came together beautifully with some soft inking of the die cuts.  Her background designer paper compliments this outdoor scene so well. 

The sweet bunnies were nestled on the Spring Grass die cut.  A few extra tulips were sprinkled on the grass as embellishments.  

She added a couple of bows to the bunnies as a fun element.  Her scene was finished off with the sun and clouds from the new Spring Frogs set.  

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new Spring dies. We will be back again on Tuesday with more samples from the team. And, if you are thinking of getting any of these new dies, they are on sale for a limited time in the online store.
