Flower Trio

Hi, it's Lois here with the Monday edition of the CottageCutz blog.  We're still featuring dies from the Mother's Day release, but be sure to check out our new "Just for Guys" release now in the Scrapping Cottage on-line store.  And you might want to take advantage of the Memorial Day sale -- up to 50% off on Select dies and 25% off on this new "Just for Guys" release.  How fun!  New dies on sale!

Now, on to my card.  I'm going back really far for my layout.  I love to look back at old layouts from the Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.  While I'm using the layout as a starting point, I have adjusted it a bit to accommodate my design.  This is Sketch Challenge 27 which was from June of 2005, long before I started doing the challenges.  So it's almost like I'm participating in the original challenge.



As I said previously, I adjusted the sketch by actually eliminating the three individual panels.  This is my card:



To start my card, I cut the pieces from the Stitched Tulip and Daisies die, all from white cardstock.


Using a variety of Copic markers, I colored each piece and assembled my three flowers/pots.


I then cut two shelves from brown cardstock, using the Shelf with Plants die.


I cut an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of white cardstock and a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of woodgrain patterned paper.



After cutting one of the shelves down to size, I glued the patterned paper onto the white card base and added the two shelves.


After placing small foam pop dots on the back of the three flowers and pots, I added them to the shelves,  . . .


. . . stamped the rustic sentiment, and my card was finished.

Lazy Daisy

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a fun card for spring or summer.  This card uses the Stitched Tulip and Daisies die from the new Mother's Day release.  This release features some beautiful dies that can be used for much more than Mother's Day!
For the layout of this card I used the sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers this week.
I love sketch challenges - they save a lot of time in the craft room!
I started with an A2 card base in Night of Navy, one panel of patterned paper 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches, and two panels 3 1/2 x 4/3/4 inches.
I cut three flowers from white card stock, and the leaves and stems from Pear Pizzazz.  I used the Stitched alphabet to cut the word "Hi" and used the centers of the letters A, P and R for the dots.
I used a sponge dauber and Daffodil Delight ink to color the center of the flowers.

I glued the panels down according to the sketch and tied a piece of 12 inch gingham ribbon around the panels.
I added the flowers and sentiment then glued the panel to the card base.  My last step was to adhere a small daisy to the ribbon using a foam dot.

Mother's Day Release Design Team Samples (Part 2)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We have a brand new release of Mother's Day  at 25% off the retail price.

There are 22 dies in this release that includes 3 Mothers Day phrase dies. All the other dies could be used year round for a variety of occasions.  We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again this month.

There are 3 samples for today and later in the month, we will post another set of 3 samples. Plus the design team will be featuring these dies in their posts over the next couple of weeks.

Card 1: This first sample is from Janja Albrecht. She used the super cute Breakfast in Bed die to create her fabulous card. What Mom doesn't want to be treated like a queen on her special day? And, giving her a card like this can be part of your breakfast in bed treat?

She framed her image with some CottageCutz scalloped stitched square dies and a corner ribbon - so sweet.

This die could be used on Mom's birthday or even as a get well card for a friend who is under the weather. There is always such incredible detail in every CottageCutz die. This is what sets the company apart from other dies on the market.
Card 2: This next sample is from Lois Bak. She used the Stitched Tulip & Daisies die to create her pretty card. Her layout is perfect for displaying the pot of daisies. She framed her images and patterned paper with the double stitched square and rectangle dies.

And,  the sentiment allows it to be used for Mother's Day or another special event - birthday, thinking of you, thank you etc. Love how she added the cute little bee.
Card 3: The 3rd and final sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the Orchids die to create my Mother's Day card. The color combination is from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #686.
The layout I chose allows the orchid image to be the center of attraction. And, also allows the use of patterned paper without it getting covered up. Pink & Black make for a great Mother's Day card. Sequins and enamel dots are always a nice finishing touch.

I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for a Mother's Day card or project. The new dies are all so beautiful and again they are on sale for a limited time.

There is also a sale going on today to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. You can save up to 50% on some dies until 9:00 pm tonight. Check it out here.

Mother Day Release Design Team Samples (Part 1)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We have a brand new release of Mother's Day  at 25% off the retail price.

There are 22 dies in this release that includes 3 Mothers Day phrase dies. All the other dies could be used year round for a variety of occasions.  We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release.

There are 3 samples for today and on Tuesday we will post another set of 3 samples. Plus the design team will be featuring these dies in their posts over the next couple of weeks.

Card 1: This first sample is from Janja Albrecht. She used the Mother's Day Cupcake and Flowers for Mom dies to create her set of tags. These beautiful tags would be so perfect attached to your gift for Mom or you could also use these on your handmade card for a 3-D effect. And, they would be so easy to re-create for your own special project. She used the Mom phrase from the Cupcake die on both her tags.

Card 2: This next sample is from Lois Bak. She made this stunning easel card using the Bouquet of Tulips die and the Happy Mother's Day Phrase. She cut the phrase a couple of times for extra thickness. She is using it as her anchor to allow the card to stand for displaying.

She framed the tulips perfectly by using a stitched scallop circle die.

If you have never made an easel card before, here is a link to a tutorial. They are not difficult and what Mom wouldn't like to have a card like this displayed on her mantle on Mother's Day.
Card 3: The 3rd and final sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the Mother's Day Cupcake + the Stitched Tulip & Daisies die to create a card for my Mother-in-Law.
The layout is from The Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #695. I thought the 3 circles would be perfect to display the cupcake, the tulip and also a stamped sentiment.
Adding some heart background paper completes the whimsical look to let my "other" Mom know that I care.
I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for a Mother's Day card or project. The new dies are all so beautiful and again they are on sale for a limited time.

There is also a sale going on today to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day. You can save up to 50% on some dies. Check it out here.
