Thanks, teacher

Hi, Janja is here with you.
For today, I made a card on which I used the Valentine hedgehog. Let’s see the hedgehog as a teacher.


- card base: 4.25 x 5.35" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3,74 x 4,96" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- colored card stock
- ink pads
- white and black gel pen
- double-sided adhesive tape, foam tape, glue

First, stamp an alphabet on a black card stock. Then white embossed letters. Cut rectangles and a frame for the school board.


Cut out the hedgehog from a colored card stock. Color the edges with a brush and ink pads. Glue all pieces to each other.


Trim a piece of patterned paper and paste it onto the card front. 
Cut out a thanks phrase and a little owl.



Attach the hedgehog to the card front as shown using a dimensional tape. When everything is finished, darken the floor with a brush under the hedgehog and a bucket of paint.


I would like to invite you to the online store. The new Spring dies are on sale for 25% off.

Have a nice day.
Janja

Valentine Release DT Samples Round 2 Sunday

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are having another round of  DT samples 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.

Today is our final day of group samples and the cards today are all about love, Valentine's Day and outdoor scenes. So without further ado, let me show you what we have for your viewing pleasure.

Card 1: The first sample today is from Anja Zurga. She used the LoveBug Butterfly and Valentine Phrase & More to create her pretty card. She always gives us such unique techniques on her cards and she didn't disappoint with this one. Her chalkboard look was made by sponging worn lipstick oxide ink around the edges of the black cardstock. The smooching technique was used to color white cardstock and then she cut out her butterfly, heart and sentiment. Her card makes for such a simple yet striking impact. Perfect for your special someone.
Card 2: Our next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used the Lovebug Bee and Ladybug and made a beautiful birthday card. To create this sweet outdoor scene, she used the flowers are from the Hedgehogs in Love die and the greenery is from an older die -Wildflowers 1. Don't you just love how she has the little ladybug perched atop the garden greenery and carrying a flower for the birthday recipient? CottageCutz dies are so versatile and can be used for a variety of other occasions. It allows your die collection to extend to other holidays or celebrations.. It just take a little out of the box thinking and that's exactly what Janja has done.
Card 3: The last sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the new Valentine Hedgehog die. I started my outdoor scene by stenciling a cloud background with distress inks. I cut a cloud from white cardstock and stamped my sentiment on it. This little hedgie is so cute painting his Valentine message on the fence for his love. You really don't need to add anything else to your card. And, it would be ideal for your significant other or to send off to a special little one.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some inspiration on ways to use these new dies. And, you still have time to order and receive the dies in time for Valentine card making. If you are contemplating a purchase, don't wait to long, The dies are on sale for a limited time. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!
