Magical Unicorn Dreams Shaker

Hello friends,

Kris here to share some Friday inspiration with you.  I've created a fun Unicorn Shaker card that is perfect for a young girl.  The inside says "Birthday Wishes"


DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut the Flying Unicorn and the Rainbow with Clouds from white cardstock and colored with Copics.


Next, I cut (2) pieces of white cardstock at 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  From one of those, I die cut the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die from the middle, creating a frame for our card front. 


From the Double Stitched Rectangle that was cut out, I die cut one of the Clouds Slimline dies.


On the other A2 piece of cardstock,  I ink blended Distress Oxide inks over the whole background, then repeated it onto the frame.    



I used Scor Tape to adhere a piece of acetate to the backside of frame, and also to the backside of the clouds border for the front.  Before removing the tape backings, I inset the clouds and glued the rainbow so the ends are tucked under the clouds. 


Once I got my clouds adhered on the front, I flipped it over to the back and added 1/8" foam strips around the opening, then added my shaker elements.  I then placed my ink blended layer (back of shaker) upside-down onto the foam strips.


I die cut "Magical" from the Magical Unicorn Dreams die from lavender c.s. and adhered to bottom of clouds, then I popped up the unicorn with foam strips.  

I cut a white A2 top folding card base and attached my shaker to the front and done!

Big Top Father's Day


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Monday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store. It's our Circus release with 16 new designs. They are currently on sale at 25% off individual dies. The Safari release dies are also on sale at 25% off individual dies. This was our Black Friday release.

The Circus dies are so cute for Birthday, Valentine, Thinking of You or even Father's Day cards. Just let your creativity soar. The DT has been showing some great ideas & techniques for ways to use these dies. So if you missed any check back on the Blog. 

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Circus Tent die and I created a Father's Day card. I had a sentiment that I thought would work well with this image. I make several cards for this holiday so you can never get started to soon especially when an idea hits. 
So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Design Steps:
Since I knew what die I was going to use, I looked through my designer papers for papers that had more of a masculine vibe. Striped paper always seems to work for me. I found this blue diagonal striped paper.
white card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
designer paper: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Then I cut the tent in cardstock colors that would coordinate with the background paper.  
For the image panel, I used the 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle die. Cut in white cardstock and stenciled in some clouds and grass. Looks like this die is sold out. I cut and stenciled before I realized that but you could use the 2nd largest Double Stitched Rectangle die. 
Next, I attached the Circus Tent to the background with dimensional adhesive. I held off the the tent stakes because I wanted the image on the designer paper first for placement. 
Attached the image panel to card base again using dimensional adhesive and also the tent stakes with Ranger multi medium matte. 
 I stamped my sentiments at this point. For the Dad phrase I used the 3rd largest circle from the Circle Set.  I layered this with the 3rd largest stitched circle die.  I masked off the part of the stamp I didn't want to use. 
  
Stamped the next phrase on a flag with the blue ink that coordinates with the designer paper and tent. 
Secured these to the card base with double sided tape and my card is complete. I will stamp a Father's Day sentiment on the inside once I decide who will get this card. I hope I have given you another idea for an alternative way to use these dies. See you next Saturday!

May the Joys of the Season Be With You

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have another card to share featuring the new Christmas dies.  This sweet winter scene was created with the Polar Bears w/Birch Trees die set.
I kept all of my die cuts very basic using white card stock with a pop of colors on the polar bears. The frame is from Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle set.  I gave the die cuts a bit of inking on the edges to keep them from blending into the background.
I used a polka dotted pattern my card base and inked the white rectangle frame with some Oxide Ink.
The Winter scene was pulled together inside the frame with the polar bears at the focal point.  I trimmed the snow mounds so they would fit perfectly in the rectangle.  The tiny heart was adhered on one of the birch trees.
The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Merry Kissmas stamp set.  The sentiment was accented with a small twine bow created with some Totally White Trendy Twine.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the shop:

Scarecrow Card

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fall card to share.  I'm excited for fall which is just around the corner.  It is definitely my favorite time of year and I absolutely love crafting for the holidays!
When I selected the papers for my card, I wasn't sure how well they would work together even though they were in the same paper stack. However, with the coordinating die cuts, everything pulled together perfectly for a cheerful fall theme.
I used the Harvest Scarecrow, Double Stitched Rectangle Set and the Circle Set dies to cut out all of the elements for my card.  I inked the circle with some Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink.  Each of the die cuts were also inked on the edges for added dimension.
I built my card base by layering the rectangle frame at an angle.  The inked circle was placed over the rectangle to break up the pattern.
The scarecrow was centered on my card base and surrounded by the large sunflowers.  All of the details in this die set created the perfect fall scene.
The plump pumpkins were the finishing accents.  I opted not to add a sentiment on my card so as to not distract from all of the details on my card.
