Get Well Cards

Hi, Janja here!

I have not managed to create with the new Spring dies, as they have not yet arrived at my address.
So, today I show you some cards I've created with Get Well dies.
With them, you will brighten the day to anyone who feels bad.

Chicken Noodle Soup from our kitchen.
Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Chicken Noodle Soup, Bear Patient, Ouch With Tooth, Nurse Puppy, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set, Build A House Set 2 (window)
- kraft card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress inks: Tattered Rose, Spiced Marmalade, Aged Mahogany, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo
- double-sided adhesive tape, glue and self-adhesive pads

Prepare a card base from kraft cardstock, and two frames. Cut a patterned paper to the desired size. Cut a square from a white cardstock.

Cut all the individual pieces from colored cardstock. Emphasize the edges with different Distress inks.

To finish the card, mount all the elements as shown.

I added the window later. 

Inside the card. 

I embellished the glass on the window, and sentiment with a clear Wink of Stella.

For the next three cards, I used a little smaler card base 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm).

CottageCutz dies I used: Ouch With Tooth, Nurse Puppy, Bear Patient, Oh No Kitty, Sending Hugs Bear, Nested Stitched Scallop Square Set and Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

Let's celebrate

Hi, Janja here!

Today, I share with you an invitation to celebrate a child's birthday.

Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Celebrate Phrase, Balloons variety, Birthday Party Bear, Spring Grass, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,6 x 12,6 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress inks: Antuque Linen, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo

As usual, first cut out all the pieces to compose a motive. In our case, this is a bear. Also prepare a few balloons, celebrate phrase, grass and a white frame. For the frame, use the largest die of the set.

On a light blue cardstock print "Let's", which will be supplemented with cutout "celebrate".
Trim patterned paper, and white card base for an invitation.

Create clouds on a light blue cardstock with cloud stencil and Distress ink pad - Tumbled Glass.

Begin by assembling the invitation.
With a large number of invitations, pay attention that the layout is not too demanding.
First paste background with clouds and white frame in the middle of patterned paper. Use double-sided adhesive tape.

To catch the middle of card base, paste double-sided adhesive tape on the back side of our background. Fix a tape on the edges along the entire length.

Remove only a part of the protective strip. Place all together on a white card base. Since the protective strip is not removed completely, we can easy move the cardstock on the base. When we are sure it is in the middle, place a finger on the base, and pull the protective strips.

Thank you for coming over and have a nice day.
