DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 6)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.
We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. Today we have a framed wall art and a card. So let's get started with the samples for today. 

Sample 1:  Our first project today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Flower Pot House and Fairy Garden Flower dies to create another beautiful framed art piece, Check out another of her projects here. She used a stencil for her "welcome" phrase. This would be perfect as wall décor in your family room or guest bedroom. How about as a gift for a new homeowner and don't forget Christmas gifts.  So many possibilities. 

Sample 2: The next and last sample for today is one that I  (Mary Marsh)created, also using the Flower Pot House die.  When I saw this die it made me think of my hubby. He is an avid gardener and has flower beds all over our yard. Friends call our house the "flower house".  I love to cut them and give bouquets to our friends. So getting a Thanksgiving card from us that depicts a flower pot house would not be out of the ordinary (LOL)! I used only sunflowers since that represents the fall season. I also used fall colors for the card.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you some ideas for this new die. We still have 2 more days of group samples so stop by again tomorrow. You can also check us out on FaceBook and Instagram .

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 5)

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Anja Zurga. She used the Stone Fairy Door, Mushroom Fairy Garden and Mushroom Garden and created a beautiful framed art piece. She started with distress oxide inks and then built the cutest fairy garden scene with these dies.  This would make a wonderful gift for a special friend or if you make handmade Christmas gifts this is a great idea.

Sample 2:  The next sample is from Janja Albreht. She used the Gnome on Tree Stump and Tree with Tire Swing to create a fabulous card of encouragement. Such a wonderful way to let someone know you care. The stenciled a ray of light around the gnomes lantern adds a unique touch.  Don't you love the caring, tender look on the little gnome's face?

Sample 3: The next and last sample for today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. using the Wishing Well and Fairy Garden Flowers dies. When I saw the wishing well die, I thought of a bridal shower card and also a get well card. Today I went with the get well card idea.  I used some cloud designer paper for the background. Stamped the get well sentiment and the Wishes phrase is from the Coffee & Cocoa Warm Wishes die. This is a sweet way to send get well wishes to someone that is under the weather or battling a major illness. It lets them know you care.

 

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you several ideas on fresh ways to use the new dies. We still have 3 more days of group samples so stop by again tomorrow. You can also check us out on FaceBook and Instagram

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 4)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards for the next week from our brand new Magic Garden release.

There are 14 new dies in the Magic Garden release. And for a limited time the individual dies are on sale at 25% off.  If you love fairies, fairy gardens, gnomes and flowers, you will love these dies.

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

 

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is one that I (Mary Marsh) created. I used the Sweet Fairy die to send some magical fairy dust & kisses along to my sweet niece. I intended this to be a birthday card and the inside sentiment will be ….and sweet birthday wishes.

Although with the sentiment on the card front it doesn't have to be limited to birthdays, it could also be used as a special way to say hello.

I thought the rainbow patterned paper complemented the enchanted fairy scene nicely and a few sequins completed the card.  

 

Sample 2:  Our next sample today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the Mushroom House die to create a sweet housewarming card. Her patterned paper choice complements the playful house image well. The sentiment she used communicates a heartfelt message in such a whimsical way. How fun to celebrate with someone the special occasion of moving into a house and making it a home. 

 

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope we have given you some ideas on ways to use the new dies. Stop by again tomorrow for more amazing samples from the team.

DT Samples w/Magic Garden Dies (Day 3)

We want to give you some creative ideas for using the dies. So let's get started with the cards for today.

Sample 1:  Our first sample today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Stone Fairy Door die and the Home Sweet Home Phrase (older release) to create this pretty one layer card. She used distress oxide inks to color the fairy door image. The path, grass and sky were masked and colored also using distress oxide inks. How perfect would this be for a new home owner or someone who has just moved. You could also use it as a party invitation just by changing the sentiment.

Sample 2:  Our next sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the Mushroom Garden die and created a birthday card with a fancy fold.  She cut the front panel in half and added the designer paper. The stitched scalloped square was used to showcase the mushroom images which were colored with Copic markers. The color scheme makes this such a soft and feminine birthday card. The sweet little ladybug is an ideal topper for the mushroom.

Well, that's our samples for today. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new dies. Stop by the Blog again tomorrow for more amazing samples.

Wedding Card In Gold

Hi!

It's Anja here. Wedding Season is in full bloom. I'm working on a few wedding projects right now. And I made another, using Cottage Cutz dies from previous releases.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Fancy Doves w/ Ribbons, Wedding Rings, Expressions Congratulations, Victorian Corners),
- Distress Inks (Pumice Stone, Mustard Seed),
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- gold pigment ink,
- black pen,
- Wink of Stella glitter brush,
- adhesive foam pads,
- water spritzer,
- brush,
- heat gun,
- paper glue.

First I made the background. I mixed gold ink with water and spritzed it o the card base.

Next I dried the paper with the heat gun and then colored around the edges with golden ink.

Next I cut and colored the doves.

Then the rings. I used glitter brush for the diamond.

Then I cut and colored both corners and the sentiment.

When I had everything colored I arranged it on the card and glued it together. I used adhesive foam pads for the doves.

This is all from me for today. I wish you a lovely Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
