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!!!

Valentine Release DT Samples Round 2 Saturday

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.

So for the next several days, we will be giving you some additional creative ideas for using the dies. Our cards today are all about St Patrick's Day.

Card 1: The first sample today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the new St Patrick's Day Cupcake die. I thought this cupcake image would make a great card for an Irish friend of mine. She celebrates the day with full gusto (lol)!!! I followed the MojoSketch508 for my card layout. The green leprechaun top hat makes a perfect topper for the cupcake. And, the gold coins that are part of the die fit so well with the Irish blessing sentiment.


Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Anja Zurga. She used the super cute Lucky Leprechaun die. For her sentiment, pot of gold, shamrocks and good luck horseshoe, she used the St Patrick's Day Phrase and More die. Anja creates such great backgrounds with distress oxide inks and for this one she used the smooshing technique. Here is a link to the tutorial she followed. This card would be perfect for any of your Irish friends, a great teacher thank you card or for any of your special little ones.




Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Janja Albreht. She used the St Patrick's Day Cupcake and the St Patrick's Day Phrase & More to create her good luck card. The leprechaun top hat and pot of gold accent both corners perfectly. For another creative touch, she filled the center of her square with shamrocks with gold coin centers. This would be a great card for someone retiring, or starting a new job or even as a graduation card. Think out of the box because our dies can always be used for other occasions.




Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some inspiration on ways to use these new dies. Make sure you stop by again tomorrow for more team samples.

Valentine Release DT Samples Round 2- Friday

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.

So for the next several days, we will be giving you some additional creative ideas for using the dies. Our cards today are all about Valentine's Day.

Card 1: Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Valentine Hedgehog and the Valentine Phrase & More dies to create this sweet Valentine card. I love how she is presenting this cute little hedgehog as the writer of the Valentine phrases. She kept her design on the clean & simple side which is so perfect for the masculine cards we might need. By placing the sentiment panel on an angle and using only red & white colors, her card makes such an impact.



Card 2: This next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used several of the doggie dies to create this ever so cute card. Puppy with Valentine, Puppy Love Letter,  Shamrock & Valentine Scottie and Be My Valentine Puppies to create her pet themed Valentine. Each one of the little pups is cuter than the next. How perfect would this be for your pet loving friends? She kept her design simple to allow the pups to be the center of attention. The "With Love" phrase is an older die and is currently on a 50% off sale. It worked so well as the finishing touch on her card.



Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Valentine Hedgehog and Swinging Monkey dies to create this playful Valentine card. Her background was sponged with distress oxide inks and then she used a cloud stencil and baby wipe to get the white clouds.

For her little scene she has the hedgehog busy painting his little fence for Valentine's Day, and the monkey came and stole away the heart. So cute! This would be a great card for your significant other or a loved little one. Kids love getting cards especially handmade ones.



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.
