Camping Friends

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. I hope you have had or are having a wonderful Thanksgiving. We don’t celebrate it in the UK but I pass all my blessings on to you

So it’s Wendy with the Black Friday blog and what an incredible array of new dies we have, each cuter than the last if that is possible. So I’m going to start my tutorial just giving you the basics of how the base card was put together.

Firstly I took a piece of Bazzill Bling Shimmer cardstock. I layered approx. half the card with it

Next I cut out the ‘Grass Slimline’ twice so that I could layer them on top of each other, I have attached the bottom and sides of the hills with 1mm foam pads so that I could slot other elements in them. I also cut out the mountains 3 times with the icy caps because I am making a slimline card and needed all 3

I then layered these elements onto the base card before cutting out the remainder of items to populate my card. The mountains were layered behind the grass

The other elements I used on my card were as follows: 

‘Campin Out Bear in Tent’

‘Campin Out Campfire’

’Campin out Sun’

‘Campin out Trees’

‘The mug from ‘Campin our Bear in Log’ - I found an old heart die from my Cottagecutz stash to put on the mugs which I though was cute 

‘Campin Out Moose and Reindeer’

Here are some close ups for you. All elements were stuck down with 1mm foam pads to give a bit of dimension. I like the fact that they all look like they’ve just got up and are having morning cocoa :-)

 

To finish the card off I printed a sentiment and used a guillotine to cut it to size and here is your final card

I really hope you like the card and have as much fun with these dies as I did. I wish you a very happy weekend and hope you have plenty of time to craft. I shall see you on Tuesday for another blog post

Black Friday Release!!

 Hello Friends

A Very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!  If all the festivities are over it is time to get to those Black Friday sales and ours has already started.  With this adorable new release called Campin Out.  It can be used for almost anything especially those hard to make masculine cards!  Just check out the Black Friday info below!  

Today, I am using the Campin Out Fishing Raccoon and he is just so cute!  Plus I added the Campin Out Trees and the Sign from the Campin Out Campfire & Sign.  This is a birthday card for a friend who loves to fish! 

Design Steps:

1.  Start by cutting out the pieces using the Campin Out Trees, Campin Out Fire & Sign and the Campin Out Fishing Raccoon.  I used green, dark brown, light blue, kraft, gray, black, white, light teal and rust card stock for my scene.  Assemble your raccoon and the trees with a fine tip glue

2.  Use a 6 x 4 1/4 white base, 5 3/4 x 4 piece of yellow, 5 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of DP,  cut a piece of brown polka dot DP with the second from the largest Wacky Stitched Rectangle.  I used the Hill Slimline to create the brown hill and the waves in the lake

3.  Glue the yellow to the white base card, glue the DP to the yellow then add the retangle with the hills and the water

4.  Add the trees and the raccoon to your scene.  I glued them flat

5.  After the scene is complete stamp you sign and use pop dots to adhere to your card

December Daily Mini Album: Daily Page

Happy Terrific Tuesday Scrapping Cottage friends! Melinda here with another project share. 

Today I am sharing another page for my December Mini Album- December Daily project. Today's page is my daily page spread. It features dies from the upcoming Black Friday Release! You will want to grab this adorable set! n

Here is a look at my project.

The finished size is 7 x 7.

For the base of the project, I started with a piece of 7x7 medium blue cardstock. I then cut a dark blue cardstock mat at 6.75 x 6.75. I then cut a piece of patterned paper from my stash and then mounted the weekly spread onto the patterned paper mat. 

I went to work cutting and assembling the various die animals. They are all so very cute! I added marker, chalks and inks to give them details.  

Here's a closer look at the cute Campin Out Capfire & Sign, The Campin Out Mountains & Trees, and the Campin Out Moose & Reindeer die sets. 

In this closer look you can see the sweet little Campin Out Fox, the fire from the Campin Out Campfire & Sign, the sweet little mouse from the Campin Out Hedgehog & Mouse die as well as the adorable Moose from the Campin Out Moose & Reindeer die. In the background you can see I used the Campin Out Mountains & Trees I added a touch of Stickles Glitter Glue to the mountains.

Here is one last look at my completed page spread. I think it came out super cute. I am excited to start using these pages!

The Dies I used to create these projects:

Campin Out Fox

Campin Out Campfire & Sign

Campin Out Hedgehog & Mouse

Campin Out Moose & Reindeer

Gingerbread Card Using Gingerbread Family Die - YouTube

Campin out Moose

Happy Sunday Cottagecutz fans. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I am super excited to be showcasing dies from the new Black Friday release. These dies are so cute and versatile and I know that I’m going to be able to use them all year long. There are 14 dies in the set and each one is fabulous for creating your camping scenes and so much more

So my first design today showcases quite a few of the dies, ‘Camping Out Moose and Reindeer’, ‘Campin Out Trees’, ‘Camping Out Mountains & Trees’, and ‘Campin Out Fox’

So I started with a white folded card measuring 5” x 4” when folded. Onto this in navy blue I added the largest of the ‘Nested Scalloped Stitched Rectangles’ and the 2nd largest ‘Stitched Rectangle’ on top for some height. I also cut the rectangle in white which i will explain about later

To create the background I have used the ‘Campin Out Mountains & Trees’ in grey and white card. The white card is for the mountain tops and I used a little blue chalk to give them a frosty feel. 

Next I took the stitched rectangle in white card as and shaped it with the ‘Hills Slimline’ to give a snowy affect and attached with 1mm foam pads

For the next part of the card I cut out all 3 sizes of the ‘Campin Out Trees’ and assembled. I used some dark green chalk to make them look realistic and attached to the card with 3D foam pads.

Next I cut out the moose, sausages on a stick and lantern from the ‘Campin Out Moose & Reindeer’ die and assembled. Before sticking them to the card I used the log from the ‘Campin Out Fox’ so that it looks like Mr Moose is sitting on the log. Both the moose, the log and the lantern were attached to the card with 3D foam pads. To finish I used a white gel pen to give the effect of either stars or snow

So we are now done with the first card or

I really hope you like this release. I was blown away with the dies and the team will be sharing their designs in the coming weeks

I wish you the very best for the rest of the weekend and keep crafting!

Wendy
