All aboard the Easter Express

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. It’s Wendy brining you the blog today. I hope your week is going well so far. We still have the new spring dies on offer at 60% off the entire bundle and you can find them here

The card I’ve made for today was such fun to make. The dies are absolutely stunning and I just had to use them. 

To begin with I took a slimline card and used the ‘clouds slimline’ die as a template to create the sky on the card. You cut out a small line of clouds and then use a distress ink over the stencil with a soft brush or whatever you feel comfortable with. Start part way down the card and then layer up from there. I think I used 3 layers of clouds in total.

Next I took the ‘Grass slimline dies and cut 2 pieces. The first piece I glued down but the second piece I attached to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads for some dimension,

I then cut a very fine sliver of brown card so that the trains look like they are on a track. I just glued this straight to the card.

So to create the train I cut out the ‘Bunny Express Engine’ and the Bunny Express Carrot Cars’ I tried to stick to the colours on the die packet ad the are beautifully coloured. Once assembled, I stuck them to the card with 1mm foam pads. The dies are really intuitive so its really easy to pick out the parts you need to cut

I used the little chick die from ‘Miss Spring Bunny’ as he is super cute and he sits at the back of the train. I also used the trees from the Campin out release and dotted these around the card after the train was assembled.

I loved the sign I used on a card last week that said ‘Easter Blessing’ so I used it again on this card.

I really hope that you like the card and take the plunge to make a super sweet card this Easter

Hugs

Good morning Cottagcutz fans. It's Wendy bringing you the blog today.I do hope you've had a wonderful week. It's pretty cold out now so I say lets stay in and craft this weekend

Today I'm bringing you a card using the newly release spring dies. They are adorable and they are still on offer at 60% off the entire release. You can find them here

So today's card is pretty quick and easy so I will be giving you a light touch tutorial

To begin with, i used the 'Clouds Slimline' to create a stencil. I used some distress ink (Tumbled Glass) and a brush to rub over the stencil to get the cloud effect. Remember, start part way down your card and then gradually move up the card

Next I cut out the grass slimline dies twice. The first layer was attached with glue but the second was attach with 1mm 3d foam pads.

The first element on my card was the cutest die I have ever seen, 'Miss Spring bunny'. The die is so intuitive and is she easy to put together. Once assembled I added her to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads

Next I cut out element from the 'Spring chicken' die. I used the wooden log and the sign. I found a stamp in my statsh that fitted the sign perfectly. I cut out the vine, flowers and ladybug and attached these to my card

The final elements were the Sun and Tree from the 'Campin Out' range that I will list below for you.

I really hope you enjoyed the card and that i have given you some inspiration for your weekend crafting

Hugs

Wendy
