Sweet Fairy

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a lovely little fairy card for you today.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Sweet Fairy, Cottage w/Petal Roof),
- Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Tattered Roe, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Tumbled Glass, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, Cracked Pistachio, Mustard Seed),
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (14x14 cm),
- patterned paper (12x12 cm),
- gold pigment ink,
- black pigment ink,
- black pen,
- scissors,
- brushes,
- sentiment stamp,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored both dies.

Next I used gold pigment ink to color the wings and the star.

Then I started on the background. I cut patterned paper and white card stock. Next I colored white paper with Distress Inks. This time I used brushes for coloring. When coloring was done, I used scissors to distress the edges of both papers.

Next I stamped the sentiment on a small piece of paper.

When I had all the pieces cut and colored, I arranged all the pieces on the card base and glued it together.

And my card was done.

Before I go, I want to let you know that the new Birthday Release is out in the store. Can't wait to get it and start crafting and creating with all new adorable dies.

Wish you all a beautiful Sunday d see you again next week.

Anja Z.

Have a Fairy Nice Day!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a card created with the new Magical Garden dies.  The fairies and fairy gardens in this release are absolutely adorable and are perfect for creating a princess themed card.

I die cut the pieces from the new Sweet Fairy and Mushroom Garden die sets.  Some chalk on the cheeks and Glossy Accents to the fairy's eyes gave her a more realistic appearance.  All of the die cuts were shaded with Oxide Inks.

I created my card by using some fun techniques to create the background.  I used 2 different Oxide Ink colors and covered each half of my card with the ink.  I didn't spend too much time on blending the 2 colors knowing the next couple of steps in my process would take card of that.

Next I added droplets of water all over the ink which lightened the colors and gave my card base a more blended appearance.

I splattered a bit of white paint on the background of my card to resemble pixie dust.  A sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Happily Ever After stamp set was heat embossed in the corner of my card.

I added the Mushroom Garden elements along the bottom edge of my card.  I anchored the fairy to have her floating above the garden.  I couldn't resist adding a bit of bling as a finishing accent.

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.
