Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

I don't know about you but I am really ready to see some of my friends and family.  Since I can't physically see them I am making a batch of cards to send out.  This little lamb was the perfect card for my sweet sisters!

Design Steps:

 1.  Cut out the lamb using the Spring Lamb & Chick die.  I cut them out in grey and white card stock

 2.  Using different colors of inks shade and color the pieces of the lamb before assembly.  I used a fine tip glue to attach all of the pieces

 3.  Use a white A2 card base, 4 x 5 1/4 piece of green DP, 3 3/4 x 5 piece of flowered DP, 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of green DP and a 2 x 3 3/4 piece of green DP.  I also cut a pink checked DP square using the second from the largest Nested Stitched Scalloped Square die

4.  Glue the large green piece to the card base then add the flower DP and finally add the strips of green as shown

 5.  Next glue flat the pink checked square

6.  Finally add the lamb using pop dots add the sentiments.  I thought the sentiment needed some flowers around it so a cut out a few and added them around the sentiment

It's your Birthday - Paint the Town!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a bright and cheery card to share for my design team post.  I used one of the intricate dies from the Spring die release.

I cut out the largest butterfly from the Springtime Butterflies die set and opted to leave all of the negative space pieces intact.  The butterfly was inked up with some Oxide Inks.  The doily is from the Nested Stitched Doily Set.

I used a rainbow of Oxide Inks to create the background for my card. Once the ink was dry, I splattered it with some water.

I waited for the water to dry and then splattered the card panel with some white paint.  Next, I embossed it with a butterfly embossing folder.

The doily was adhered in the center of my card base breaking up the rainbow background.  The white doily also helps to bring out the paint splatters.

The butterfly was nestled inside the doily.  A heat embossed sentiment on some vellum was the finishing touch on my card.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Small Cards for Different Occasions

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog today.
I hope you all had a wonderful and healthy Easter holidays.

I made four small cards for different occasions. It's always good to have some of these cards in stock.

- CottageCutz dies: Orchids, Thanks Phrase, Potted Cactus, Valentine Phrase & More, Oh No Kitty, Bear Patient, Sending Hugs Bear, Stitched Squares Set, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set
- blank cards: 4 x 4" (10,2 x 10,2 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3.5 x 3.5" (8,9 x 8,9 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape

I used some flowers, animals and expressions dies.
First, start by cutting out the main motives.

Then, cut four squares out of the patterned paper. Use the largest die of the set.

Also cut two white frames for each card and glue them together.

Paste all cutouts to the front of the cards.

Completed cards.

Thank you for stopping by.

Easter Pals

Hi!

It's Anja here. For today's card I made an Easter scene with these lovely friends.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Springtime Pals, Mr. Peter Rabbit, Miss Petunia Bunny, Picket Fence Border, Rustic Sign & Trees),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (12,5x17,5 cm),
- bristol paper for background (12x17 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- plastic stencil (clouds),
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all the animals.

Next I cut and colored the fence and the Easter eggs.

Then I decided to add a few trees for the background.

Then I trimmed bristol paper and painted the sky with the plastic stencil.

When I started putting all the pieces together I added a bit of color to the ground.

And my card was done.

I wish you all a nice Easter Sunday. Even though we can't spend it with all our family, we can still find a way to enjoy it.

Stay safe and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
