There is something for everyone to help you create birthday, anniversary, thinking of you, graduation, get well and thank you cards. Let your creativity and imagination run wild with these dies.


And, you can pick these new dies up at a great bundle price of only $89.95. But don't wait because the bundle price only lasts for the next 10 days. The sale will end on December 4th.

The DT has created some really cute cards for your inspiration and we have been featuring them over the last couple of days. If you missed those posts check them out here and here. Now, let's get started with our cards for today.

Card 1: Our first sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She created a fun fold stand up card and using the new Safari Adventure Gang Who's watching who! This adorable gang is having a wild time on their people watching safari! Notice the binoculars and camera the animals are holding!
 
The woven designer paper and stenciled sky are a perfect fit for these safari friends. The "Go Wild" phrase is from the new Safari Phrases die. This would make for a great way to say "Happy Birthday", you only need to add your message and signature!
Here is a photo of her card closed. 
Card 2: Our next sample is from Anja Zurga. We are doing a little change up and featuring a Christmas card from our Christmas Part 3 release and it's on sale as well. She used the Snow Babies die to create this sweet card. This pair is so precious. Her beautiful nighttime sky was done with distress oxide inks and flicks of white paint to give the illusion of snow. The sentiment is heat embossed to make it stand out. 

Card 3:  Our last sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Safari Monkey die to create a card of encouragement. Couldn't we all use a card like this one during these trying times? The vine she added all around the oval frame just adds to the fun vibe the monkey is creating.  The finishing touch is the sentiment which is a fun play on words.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some creative ideas for different ways to use these new Safari dies. We will be back on Sunday with more samples from this release. Check out the online store for the big Black Friday sale with savings of up to 85% on selected dies.

Black Friday Release Samples


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit this Wednesday on the day before Thanksgiving here in the USA. 

We have a brand new Black Friday Safari release available in the online store. There are 16 new designs in this release. There is something for everyone to help you create birthday, anniversary, thinking of you, graduation, get well and thank you cards. Let your creativity and imagination run wild with these dies. 

And, you can pick these new dies up at a great bundle price of only $89.95.  But don't wait because the bundle price only lasts for the next 10 days. The sale will end on December 4th. 

The DT has created some really cute cards for your inspiration and we will be featuring them over the next several days. So let's get started with our cards for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Safari Cruiser w/Banner & Savanna dies and created a birthday card. Her punny sentiment is the perfect play on words and helps to accentuate the "wild theme" of the card. 
The fluffy clouds, inked card base and the acacia tree provides the perfect backdrop for an adventure on the Savanna. Love how the safari banner, that is part of this die, completes this scene by floating amongst the clouds.


Card 2: Our next sample is from Pam MacKay. She used the new Safari Watering Hole die and created an anniversary card, but it could be used for multiple occasions. It would work as a Valentine card or a birthday card for that special someone.  
The map designer paper carries through the African Savanna theme really well. The framing of the image draws your eye right to the animals gathered around the watering hole. She used a blending brush to create the sky and grass. It's a perfect look for this idyllic scene. 
  

Well that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas for different way to use these new Safari dies. We will be back on Friday with more samples from this release. Check out the online store for the big Black Friday sale with savings of up to 85% on selected dies.

DT Samples- Spring Day 3

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Wednesday 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.

Card 1:  Our first sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Basket of Eggs die to create this ever so sweet card that doesn't necessarily have to be used for Easter. With the sentiment she used, it could be a birthday card or get well wishes or even thinking of you.

Some inking on the card elements gives off a rustic flair.  Her use of the Stitched Rectangle die frames the Easter basket nicely and sets it as the focal point of this card.  The hand cut, half circle is the perfect back drop for this card.
The patterns and colors compliment the Easter basket creating the perfect layout for displaying the Basket of Eggs.

Card 2:  Our next sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the new Springtime Pals die. The horse, die and fence made creating an outdoor spring time scene so easy.

All I needed to do was add a background. I used some light blue designer paper and added clouds and tulips to complete the scene. The Easter phrase on the fence is from the older Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die.


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

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 8)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. This is our last day of DT samples using the new Magic Garden release. If you have missed any of the posts, just look back on the Blog for some fabulous projects and cards.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies. 

So let's get started with our projects for today. It's a Fairy garden house theme today.  

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Cottage w/Petal Roof die and Fairy Garden Flowers die to create this super cute card. This cheery card is sure to brighten anyone's day. The sweet fairies look so contented fluttering above their little cottage.  Her magical scene is framed using the Wacky Stitched Rectangle die. Notice how she placed her sentiment inside a speech bubble. It gives the effect of the fairies sending a greeting.    


Sample 2:  Our last sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Magical Forest, Fairytale Birthday and Forest Critters dies to create a beautiful birthday card. Love the little mouse and birthday cupcake she brought to the house party. The glitter cardstock adds a magical touch to the card. So perfect for a little (or big) girl. Lots of detail with this die but as you can see the effort is so worth it for the resulting card.
Well, that's it for our group posts . We hope that we gave you some ideas for different ways to use these new dies. And, remember you can also check out DT samples on our FaceBook page and Instagram gallery.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 4)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.
 
Sample 1:  Our first sample today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the Sweet Fairy die to send some magical fairy dust & kisses along to my sweet niece. I intended this to be a birthday card and the inside sentiment will be ….and sweet birthday wishes.
Although with the sentiment on the card front it doesn't have to be limited to birthdays, it could also be used as a special way to say hello.
I thought the rainbow patterned paper complemented the enchanted fairy scene nicely and a few sequins completed the card.  
 
Sample 2:  Our next sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Mushroom House die to create a sweet housewarming card. Her patterned paper choice complements the playful house image well. The sentiment she used communicates a heartfelt message in such a whimsical way. How fun to celebrate with someone the special occasion of moving into a house and making it a home. 
 
Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you some ideas on ways to use the new dies. Stop by again tomorrow for more amazing samples from the team.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden dies (Day 1)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today. It's all about the gnomes!

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Gnome on Tree Stump die to create this awesome card. The card features a gingham background and a jolly gnome looking so cozy sitting on his tree stump. The white picket fence just adds to the appeal of the card.
It would be a sweet way to send a welcome home greeting for a special friend, neighbor or family member. You could also send a card like this as a congratulations on a new home card. The possibilities are many so let your imagination run wild.


Card 2: Our next sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe.  She used the Sleepy Gnome w/Mushrooms, Magical Unicorn Dreams and Spring Mushrooms dies on this creative shaker card. She is giving us a little peek into the gnomes dream. And, of course its about mushrooms (LOL)! Iridescent sequins are the shaker elements and just add to the charm of her card.
This would make a good all-occasion card or one for someone who needs encouragement to take a chance on their dreams.
 Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas for a way to use the dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for more team samples.
