Party Till The Cows Come Home

Hello Scrapping Cottage 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.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies from Tractors to Cowboy Chicks! Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. All of the new dies are on sale at 25% off.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the new Country Farm Cows and created a birthday card for a fun loving friend.. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I started my card design by cutting the cow images. I used different shades of cardstock. You could also cut in white cardstock and then color the cows with your favorite coloring medium. 

Next, I cut 3 grassy slopes from designer paper. On the bottom slope I stamped my sentiment in black ink. I used my MISTI for placement and also because sometimes the clear stamps require a second inking. In this case it did. 

I stenciled some clouds onto my image panel with tumbled glass distress ink. I cut 3 grassy slopes from designer paper and the sun is from the clouds & sun die. 

Now I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the slopes to the image panel with double sided tape and dimensional adhesive. 

Next, I attached the cows to the grassy slopes using dimensional adhesive. 

To finish off the card I attached the image panel to a blue card base. The base is 5 3/4" x 4 1/2". I scattered a few enamel dots and the card is complete. 

I hope I have given you an idea for the Country Farm Cows die. See you next Saturday!

Tickled Pink

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today.  I am in love with all the little pigs from the new Country Farm release.  This release features the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Chicks to Cows!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions. 

I started this card by cutting out the Piggy w/ Crate from white cardstock and used Distress Oxide inks to color.

I colored the pig using the Tattered Rose and then used a sponge dauber to add some shading with the Vintage Photo.

I cut a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches from floral designer paper.  Using the largest of the Nested Stitched Scallop Squares and Stitched Squares I cut out two white squares.  I used the banner from the Windows Slimline die to cut the striped banner.

I stamped my sentiment centered on the bottom of the plain stitched square and then ran it through an embossing folder to add texture and contrast with the scallops.

I mounted the floral paper on a card base and added the squares.  I tied a coordinating ribbon around the center.

My last step was to add the banner and pop up the pig using foam dots.

This little pig is super cute and can be used for many occasions.  I picked this sentiment since I could used it as a congratulatory or birthday card.

Be sure to visit the online store where the new release is on sale for a limited time.

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends 

It is Pam sharing with you today!

IT IS NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Cowboy Chicks!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions.  Today, I am using the Country Farm Cows. 

Design Steps:

1.  Cut out all of the pieces using the Country Farm Cows die.  I used dark brown, white, tan, green gray, black and gold.  Shade the pieces and assemble them using a fine tip glue

2.  For the base card I used a kraft A2 card.  The DP is milk bottles cut at 4 x 4 with a red layer an 1/8 inch larger.  The red gingham is cut at 2 x 5 1/8 with a red layer an 1/8 inch bigger.  A rectangle cut on kraft card stock using the third from the largest Double Stitched Rectangle die

3.  Glue the DP to it's coordinating red layer.  Glue the gingham layer to the center of the card as shown.  Then on top of the gingham layer glue the milk bottles layer slightly to the left of center as shown.  Glue the double stitched rectangle slightly to the right as shown below

4.  Working on the kraft retangle glue down the fence and little clumps of grass first.  Add the milk bottles to the top of the fence.  Pop up the cow and the bucket.  Cut out a few flowers and leaves then glue them on top of the bucket as shown.  Add the sentiment and bow and your card is complete

5.  I decided to decorate the inside with left over scraps of the DP and an addition piece of fence

Hay Chickie

Hello!  This is Sukie and I have a card to share featuring the new Country Farm die release! This release has the most adorable die sets for creating those all occasion cards!

I cut out the sweet Cowgirl Chick, the Nested Stitched Scallop Oval and Oval using card stock.  Everything was inked on the edges to add some depth and dimension.

I found the most adorable paper in my stash which was layered on some kraft card stock. The double ovals were layered on top of my card base.

The cowgirl chick was nestled inside of the oval die cuts as the focal point of my card.  I added some glossy accents to her eyes for a glassy eyed look.

The fun sentiment was stamped in brown ink for a rustic look.  I hand cut the sentiment tag and inked it on the edges.

This card has a bit of a western flair and will be perfect for sending a simple hello!

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

Howdy from the Funny Farm

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a card to share featuring the new Country Farm die release!  There are so many amazing dies in this release to choose from and they are currently on sale!

My card features the Country Farm Barn at the focal point of my card.  The farm barn has so many little details from the animals to the greenery surrounding it.  I selected some bright and cheery patterns for the background of my card and used the Hills Slimline and the Clouds Slimline die sets to create the farm scene. The fun sentiment was perfect for finishing off my card.

You're Invited

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another celebration themed card for you today. This time it's a party invitation. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Juggling Monkey, Circus Snacks, Rounded Rectangles Slimline, Pierced Circle Set),

- Distress Inks and Oxides

- white card base (10x21 cm),

- white card stock and watercolor paper for die cuts, 

- black pen,

- white pen,

-water spritzer,

- white acrylic paint.

- heat gun,

- printer,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the monkey and the snacks.

Next I cut the rectangle and colored it with Distress Oxides.  

 

 

Next I sprinkled the background with water and white acrylic paint. I dried the paper with the heat gun.

 

After that I printed and cut the sentiment. I also cut another circle from white card stock.

 

 

Last I arranged all the pieces to the card base and glued it together. And my card was done. 

 

That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week. 

Anja Z.
