Have A Nice Day

Hi!

It's Anja here. I got my Country Farm release dies this week and today I have the first card to show you. I combined two dies to get this lovely card.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Stacked Farm Animals, Farm Truck w/Animals, Spring Grass), 

- Distress Inks,

- craft card base (12,5x18cm),

- white card stock for die cuts,

- white pen,

- black pen, 

- silver pigment ink,

- white pigment ink,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- background stamp (wood),

- acrylic block,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the pets. 

Next I did the same with the truck. 

Next I started on the background. I used a background stamp to get the wood like look. I stamped it directly on the card base and colored it around the edges.

Next I added white shade to the middle of the background. I used white pigment ink. I also cut and colored the grass.

 

Last I added the sentiment to the background.

And the I just placed all the cut and colored pieces and adhered it on the card base. And my card was done.  

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

Herd the News!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a card featuring dies from the new Country Farm release.  These die sets are absolutely adorable and perfect for so many occasions! This card will be perfect to have on hand for a celebratory occasion!

I used the following die sets on my card:  Stacked Farm Animals, Curly Sheep & Lamb, Country Farm Stable and the Old Farm Fence.  I used colored card stock for all of my die cuts and inked them on the edges for some dimension.

The rustic papers with a bit of country charm are from my stash and were perfect for my card.

I created my card base by layering the 2 panels of paper with the wood themed panel on top.

The grass was affixed to the bottom portion of my card with the farm fence tucked in behind.

Next, the adorable cow was placed on top of the grass as the focal point of my card.

I proceeded to build the stack of farm animals by adhering one on top of another.  The little lamb was nestled next to the cow.

A fun sentiment was stamped on a hand cut flag and adhered in the upper corner of my card.

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Best of Cluck!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends 

It is Pam creating with you today!

IT IS NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Cowboy Chicks!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions.  Today, I am using the Farm Tractor w/Trailer as a best of luck z-fold card.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Tractor w/Trailer die cut all the pieces.  I used red, black, silver, brown and acetate for the window and head light.  I also used the Stacked Farm Animals for the additional chickens.  And the Grass, Tree and Vine die for the background tree.  Shade and assemble all pieces

2.  For the base of the z-fold card I used a white piece of card stock 4 x 11.  Fold it in half and then fold the front fold in half again.  For the little z-fold white strip I cut a 1 x 11 inch strip.  This strip is scored at 2 3/4 x 5 1/2.  

3.  Before attaching the strip glue down your cloud DP 2 panels at 2 5/8 x 3 7/8 and 1 panel at 5 3/8 x 3 7/8.  Next use your Grass Slimline die and cut 2 pieces of green grass about 1 inch high.  Also cut 4 pieces of white fence using the Victorian Fence die.  Glue the fence to the back of the grass and then glue to the z-fold strip.  Using the Stitched Sun, Cloud and Umbrella die cut out a sun in yellow

4.  Pop up the Tractor and Trailer to the card as shown.  Add the sun to the upper left corner

5.  Glue the tree flat to the back panel as shown.  Glue the 2 additional chickens and bags of grain to the card as shown.  Add the sentiment and your card is finished
