Thankful for You

Hello Friends

I am making a few Thanksgiving cards for family and friends.  I am using the following dies: Fall Tree, Fall Barrel, Mama and Baby Fox (just the baby).  Fall is my favorite color palette and I love sunflowers.  So I really like how this Thanksgiving card turned out.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the following dies cut them out in a variety of colored card stock.  Fall Tree (brown, red orange and yellow) Fence (white) Grass (green) Fall Barrel (sunflowers: yellow, brown and green) Mama Fox and Baby (baby fox: rust, white, black). Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of white 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  On the white piece blend on some blue ink to create a sky

3.  Stamp Thankful for you in black ink.  Position and glue down your trees

4.  Next glue down the fence and then the grass making sure you only put glue on the very bottom of the grass so that you can stick in the sunflowers and fox

5.  Arrange your sunflowers and glue down

6.  Add in the little fox and your card is complete

Card with Foxes

Hi!

This is Anja. Hope you had a good week. Mine was busy at work and it'll be like this till end June. This year Summer vacation will be well deserved. But I wasn't just working, I managed to take some time to craft. I had to color this cute Fox die. I decided to make a card I could give to one of my friends, that always support me.

 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Mama Fox & Baby, Mom's Garden Bouquet, Oval Set),
- Distress Reinkers (Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans, Twisted Citron),
- Zig markers (color numbers: 010, 050, 061, 091, 099),
- card base (13x10,5 cm),
- smooth watercolor paper for background (12,5x10 cm) and die cuts
- sentiment stamp,
- Versafine Black Onyx ink pad,
- adhesive foam pads,
- watercolor brush,
- brushes,
- color pallet,
- heat gun,
- glass surface,
- washi tape,
- paper glue.

First I made the background. I cut the paper and glued it on the surface with washi tape. I put quite a bit of water on the surface and then slowly some color on top with the brush. I used the pallet and the reinkers. When I was satisfied with the color, I dried it with the heat gun.

I did the same withe the green color. When I had the surface dried, I spritzed a few water drops on top and let it dry.

When the background was dry I cut the edges off.

The I cut out a second largest oval.

I used the largest oval die to cut from white paper.

When I had the ovals cut, I glued it together. I also glued what was left of the colored background to the card base. I adhered the ovals on top of that. Then I die cut and colored the foxes. I used Zig markers.

Then I cut the flowers. I used reinkers for the green parts.

When I had everything colored, I just needed the sentiment. I stamped it on the white strip of paper and glued it on the card with adhesive foam pads.

And this is my finished card.

Before I go, I just want to remind you there is a Memorial Day Sale going on at the Online Store. Savings of up to 50% on dies. Also, the new "Just for Guys" release is in the store. That is currently 25% off.

I wish you a great Sunday.

Cottage Cutz dies I used:

Foxy Mama Card

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans.  It's Jeanne posting today with a card created with dies from the new Mother's Day release.  These beautiful dies are on sale for 25% off for a limited time at the online store.

For my card I used the adorable Mama Fox and Baby, the Love You Mom Phrase and the grass from Spring Meadow dies.

I cut a white side fold A2 card base and a panel of Wisteria Wonder card stock the same size as the front - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches.  I personally like cards that have a white base since I find it easier to write inside and I don't have to add a panel to the inside.  However, you could make this card using just the Wisteria Wonder as the base.

Next I cut the foxes from Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze.  I used a Multi-Liner pen to color the eyes and Copic markers to color the noses and inside ear pieces.

I used a sponge dauber with black ink to color the legs since I did not want them solid black. I assembled the pieces.

I cut a panel 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 from white cardstock and using a sponge dauber, I stenciled hearts in Soft Sky.  The grass is cut from Pear Pizzazz using the Spring Meadow die and the sentiment in Wisteria Wonder using the Love You Mom Phrase.

Finally, I assembled everything.  This card makes a precious CAS Mothers Day card!
