DT Samples w/Spring & Magical Fantasy Dies (Day 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling cards from our Spring and also our new Magical Fantasy release.

There are 27 new designs in the Magical Fantasy release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off. We want to give your some ideas for your own card making. So let's get started with our samples for today.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She created a card in a box using the new Princess Dress Up, Sweet Unicorns and Magical Unicorn Dreams dies. A card-in-a-box card is a wonderful way to give the recipient an extra "gift" that can be displayed long after the birthday is over.
She also used some older dies  - Spring Window, Spring Grass, Easter Bunny and Chicks. Jean said working with the Princess Dress Up dies reminded her of playing with paper dolls only better. So much fun choosing the dress and hairstyle for the princess.  This card would be perfect for any little (or big) girl who loves unicorns and all things fairytale.

Card 2:  The next sample is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the super cute Frog Prince die to create a creative special occasion card. She used doily dies as a backdrop for her "prince" and surrounded with a few sprigs of greenery and coordinating flowers.  The happy couple who receive this card are sure to live happily ever after.

Card 3: The next sample is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the new Unicorn Cupcake  + Fairytale Birthday dies and designed a whimsical birthday card. A card like this along with a Unicorn stuffed animal would be an ideal birthday gift for any little girl. It would definitely bring a happy smile as she opened it.



Card 4:  Our last sample for today is from Anja Zurga. She also created a card with a cupcake using the Spring Lamb Cupcake die. The distress ink and white paint splatters are a beautiful backdrop for the sweet little lamb. You could use this card for a variety of occasions- Easter, Birthday, Thank you or even a thinking of you. Thinking out of the box gives you more use of your seasonal dies.

Well that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas for creative ways to use the new dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for our final day of DT samples.

There are 27 new designs in the Magical Fantasy release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.

Card 1:  Our first sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She is featuring the new Flying Unicorn die. She created a shaker card that is sure to brighten someone's day. The sweet Flying Unicorn is at the focal point of the card and is accented with the stars and clouds in the background. The inspirational sentiment finishes off this magical scene. To create this polaroid style shaker card she also used the Fairytale Birthday, Unicorn Floral and Square Set dies.

Card 2: Our next sample today is from Anja Zurga. She used the sweet Hatching Bunny and Happy Easter Greeting dies to create her colorful Easter card.  Anja always gives us such beautiful backgrounds for her cards and she didn't disappoint with this card.

 

She stenciled with a bright blue distress ink so perfect for this cute little hatching bunny. The Happy Easter greeting was cut in white cardstock and sponged with a bright pink ink. The Hatching Bunny dies would also work well for a new baby card or even as baby shower invitations. Think out of the box with seasonal dies.

Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Janja Albreht. She used the cute Spring Frog w/Lilypad die to create a great card of encouragement for a friend. It's a perfect mix of a fun card and a way to show a special friend that we understand.  The water underneath the lilypad is from the Fishing Pole and boat die.  Her sentiment is so spot-on when a friend needs a pick me.

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.

Valentine Release DT Samples (Part 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the brand new Valentine & St Patrick's Day release. There are 16 new designs in this release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.

This is Day 3 of the new release sample, so if you haven't seen the other 2 days click here and here. The design team has been showing some creative work  using these new dies.  So let's get started with the cards for today.

Card 1: Our first sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Love Latte & Donut die along with the largest of the Stitched Eyelet Rectangle dies.  The designer paper on her cups really give that upscale look to her card. The "coffee" in the cups was sponged with a chocolate ink for such a realistic look. She used some dimensional adhesive on the right cup to make it pop. This card has such feminine appeal and could be sent to your Mom, sister or your bestie. You could change out the paper on the cups to give it a masculine vibe. The die also includes a donut and the end of a tea bag. So it works for all your tea or donut loving friends as well.

Card 2: Our next sample is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Valentine Hedgehog to create this super cute card She used some non-traditional colors for her Valentine card that would make it perfect to send to the special guy in your life. Her scene was framed on the Double Stitched Square die set and completed with a fun sentiment. Don't you just love the adorable hedgehog all busy with his paint brush? He really got creative for his love on Valentine's Day!  

Card 3: The last sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the Lovebug Butterfly and Valentine Phrase & More dies.  The butterfly is framed with the Sweetheart Doilies die. I made this card with the idea that it would be given  to your special someone. But, with a change of patterned paper this could easily be a Valentine for a child. This cute little butterfly would touch anyone's heart.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some inspiration on ways to use these new dies. And, if you are contemplating a purchase, don't wait to long, The dies are on sale for a limited time.
