Lollipop Box and Cards Set

Happy Terrific TuesDIE Scrapping Cottage friends!Melinda here with you for another fun Tuesday. My project features a couple of dies from the marvelous new SPRING RELEASE along with some others!  Here's what I created.

I created a set of three 4.25 x 4.25 note cards and a little "Lolli Box"
To create the Lolli Box
I started with a square piece of paper that measures 3.75". I scored it on all four sides at 1.25"Once all four sides are scored, I proceeded to make some cuts.

Here is how I trimmed it. I cut a slit up to the first line on the score line that is to the right. I then snipped a slight angle off on both sides of the corner. Then I turned the piece a quarter turn to the right and repeated this process. I did for all four sides. I also trimmed just a bit off of each corner. This way it will fold up much easier and remain flush.

Once all the cutting was done, I added adhesive to the opposite side of the cut flaps. See photo. Notice the tabs are bent forward. You can see the adhesive and the way I cut them at an angle.

I then layered a white home onto a kraft cardstock home. The only reason I did this is so that looking at the finished box from the back side will make this seem much more cohesive.

Here I am coloring the bird houses.

Here's a view of the box once it is assembled. It does fit the lollipop pretty good. It is a tootsie roll lollipop. 

Here is where I added mats to 3 of the sides. There are just 1" mats.

Here's a look as I was assembling the die pieces to create the adorable Bunny Cottage. Once I finished, I glued it to the front of the box.

Here is the finished Lollibox. I added the "tree and sign" from the Spring Chicken die set. The top of the tree is from the Carrot House die. I cut it out in some cute Doodlebug patterned paper.

Here's a closer look at the Pink Home. I put a sweet little brown bunny in this one. I added some dew drops to the top left corner of each card. Just for a little something extra~

Here's a closer look at the Purple Home. I went with a gray bunny here.

Here is a closeup of the card with the Yellow home. I did another little brown bunny here.

Here is one last look at the cards and the Lolli box. I think this set turned out very nice.

Carrot House

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

The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there.

And there is still plenty of time to order and get them for your Easter cardmaking. Today for your viewing pleasure, I have a whimsical card for Easter using the new Carrot House die. So, let's get started with some details on how I created this card. 

Design Steps:

I started my card by cutting out the Carrot House image. I used the coloring from the packaging as my guide. I thought they were perfect colors for a Spring card. I also use cardstock for my images. You can also cut in white cardstock then use your favorite coloring medium. 

Next, I cut the bunny phrase from the Spring Sentiments die. I used a grape cardstock.  

I wanted to do something a bit different on the card front, so I looked through my embossing folders for one that would work. I found this older Scrollwork folder from Provocraft. I embossed with a medium blue cardstock. 

Blue Embossed Panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

White card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Now that my elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the carrot house image with dimensional adhesive. The walkway stones are attached with Art Glitter glue. After I attached the image, I realized I placed it on the debossed side. I still think it looks okay though. 

 

I attached the Bunny & Home phrase with the Art Glitter Glue. The Home phrase is from a retired die - Home Sweet Home Phrase. I didn't realize it wasn't in stock any longer. But we do have another die with similar font. It's the "Our New Home" die. And it is on the website. 

To complete my card, I added a few bunny images from the Spring Sentiments die.

Bunny Baker

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

The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there.

And there is still plenty of time to order and get them for your Easter cardmaking. Today for your viewing pleasure, I have a whimsical card for Easter using the ever so cute Spring Bunny Baker die. I made this one for my neighbor who is an avid baker. I have enjoyed many of her homemade treats, and I thought she would really like this card. 

I used the colors from this week's Splitcoaststamper color challenge #887. The color trio is real red, petal pink and pool party. 

I used the challenge colors to cut the elements of the Spring Bunny Baker die. Plus, some allowed neutral colors for the bunny, her mixing spoon and the card base. I thought the pool party needed a darker shade to make it pop. So, I used a dark gray cardstock.  

My card is a little larger than what I usually make, but I needed that because of the layout I used. 

Gray card base: 4 3/4" x 6"

Pool party layer: 4 1/2" x 5 3/4"

Pool party designer paper: 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" 

I used the largest of the Stitched Oval die and cut in pink cardstock and then the largest of the Oval Set die and cut in white cardstock. I attached my image to the circle with dimensional adhesive to give it some depth.

The sentiment is from the 2019 Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes die. It is still available in the online store. I cut it in pink cardstock and used Art Glitter Glue to attach to the image panel. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. I will be back tomorrow for my regular Saturday post.

Spring Chicken

 Hello Friends

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I hope you are wearing green!!

Today, I am making a thank you card because my stash is running a little low.  I decided to use the cute Spring Chicken for my card.  I love the little sign she has with her.  You can really put any sentiment you want on it.

Design Steps

1.  Use an A2 white card stock base and cut a piece of blue 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 run it through a cloud embossing folder

2.  Using the Spring Chicken die and cut the pieces out of tan, rust, brown, pink, yellow, purple, red, and green.  Shade the pieces with ink and glue together with a fine tip glue.  Stamp your sign with Thank You

3.  Cut 3 white frames using the largest of the Pierced Wide Rectangle set.  Glue the frames together.  Use the Spring Grass die and cut it out using green card stock.  Glue the grass to the back of the frames

4.  Layer the back of the frame with dimension tape.  Adhere it to the blue cloud card stock

5.  Glue in the Chicken then the sign.  Finally add in the flower and the white ribbon bow. Glue the blue panel to the white card base and your card is complete
