Shabby Chic Card with Anita Kejriwal

Hello dear friends,

This is Anita here and I hope you are all set to have a wonderful time crafting with me. Today, I am going to share a shabby chic card with you. I have made this card using various CottageCutz dies , the details of which you can find below.
Here is also a video tutorial on making 3D flowers and arranging them on the card.

Here is my card.

To prepare the base of the card, follow these instructions.

1. Cut a white card stock measuring 7.5 inches x 5 inches.

Score at 0.5 inch on the 7.5 inch side and fold. Cut another piece 7 inches x 5 inches and adhere to the folded card.

2.Cut a mat layer out of white card stock measuring 6.75 inches x 4.75 inches and curl the edges. Add texture using modelling paste and script stencil.

3. Cut a pattern paper a little smaller than the second mat layer. Add texture using stencil and modelling paste. Let it dry. Tear in several layers as shown and combine with the CottageCutz dies and add to the card. 

After finishing the base, make the flowers and arrange it on the card. Follow the video tutorial here.

We've Moved

Hi, Vladka here!

Also on today's card I'm using dies from Home sweet home release and also some dies from previous releases. I saw ideas for such a card on the Pinterest and decided to give it a try. So, I used Build a House set 2 die and cut out just upper part of the house to create little houses. Balloons are taking the middle one away to another place. Let me show you how I created this card.

Basics:

White card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)

Additional piece of white cardstock and some white cardstock to cut out the die cuts 

Other Supplies:

CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below

Distress Ink: Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Mermaid Lagon, Dusty Concord, Aged Mahogany, Tumbled Glass

Other: Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, Water, Sheet of Acetate

1. First let's do some smooshing on additional piece of paper to prepare the background.  Add some Tumbled Glass Ink on acrylic block and spritzed some water on it. Then take a piece of plastic acetate and gentle pressed it against the block to pick up some of the ink. Now, press the plastic on the paper to transfer the ink. This will give you a splotchy look. Do the same with green distress ink on the bottom of the paper. This will look like the lawn.

2. Cut the Balloons out of white cardstock and color them with differnet distress inks and use blending tool for that. Distress the edges with darker distress inks. 

3. With Build a House set 2 die cut 3 little houses out of white cardstock. Leave the first two white and glue the roof and the window on both of them. On the third one use the smallest heart from the heart set dies and cut the heart out of the house. Colore the heart red and put it back where it was cut out before. Color also the roof and glue it on the house. 

4. Now it is time to glue everything together. But first cut the expression "We've Moved" out of the white cardstock. Now put all the pieces together as shown on the photo. Use aslo 3D foam adhesive squares to glue some balloons and the house with the heart.

I hope you like this card. Enjoy the summer and have fun creating. And don't forget, fourth CottageCutz challenge is waiting for you. This time theme is GREENERY. You can linked your project here. And please, use only Scrapping Cottage dies.
