All aboard the Easter Express

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. It’s Wendy brining you the blog today. I hope your week is going well so far. We still have the new spring dies on offer at 60% off the entire bundle and you can find them here

The card I’ve made for today was such fun to make. The dies are absolutely stunning and I just had to use them. 

To begin with I took a slimline card and used the ‘clouds slimline’ die as a template to create the sky on the card. You cut out a small line of clouds and then use a distress ink over the stencil with a soft brush or whatever you feel comfortable with. Start part way down the card and then layer up from there. I think I used 3 layers of clouds in total.

Next I took the ‘Grass slimline dies and cut 2 pieces. The first piece I glued down but the second piece I attached to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads for some dimension,

I then cut a very fine sliver of brown card so that the trains look like they are on a track. I just glued this straight to the card.

So to create the train I cut out the ‘Bunny Express Engine’ and the Bunny Express Carrot Cars’ I tried to stick to the colours on the die packet ad the are beautifully coloured. Once assembled, I stuck them to the card with 1mm foam pads. The dies are really intuitive so its really easy to pick out the parts you need to cut

I used the little chick die from ‘Miss Spring Bunny’ as he is super cute and he sits at the back of the train. I also used the trees from the Campin out release and dotted these around the card after the train was assembled.

I loved the sign I used on a card last week that said ‘Easter Blessing’ so I used it again on this card.

I really hope that you like the card and take the plunge to make a super sweet card this Easter

Hugs

Wendy

Happy Spring Kitty with Envelope Card- New Spring Release

Happy Sunday Scrapping Cottage friends!

Melinda here with you today. I am super happy to be sharing a little spring inspiration featuring dies from the new SPRING RELEASE! Today's project is a fun and cheerful card. Take Look!

The finished card is a top folding US-A4 card base. I used some regular white cardstock. 

The main focus of my card is the adorable new Spring Kitten w/Envelope Die. It is part of the fantastic new Spring Release! I started by cutting out my die pieces in white cardstock. I then colored my various pieces in with my markers. I did also cut out the pieces in a light yellow cardstock as well as a patterned paper from Doodlebug. 

Here's a quick look at the envelope pieces in the yellow and patterned paper.

I decided to make a "liner" for the inside flap of my envelope with the patterned paper. I simply cut off the flap and then slid it under the yellow envelope piece. I then started building the scene by adding that adorable little kitty.

I assembled the kitty holding the flowers and added that onto the scallop stitched rectangle with a patterned paper mat. I then used the largest scallop stitched rectangle in the same die set and added a floral patterned paper mat to that. I layered them onto the background mat. To finish off my card I added the Happy and Spring Sentiment from the Spring Sentiments die.

Here is one last look at my finished card.  I think it turned out adorable. Full of springtime happiness! I am looking forward to spreading some cheer to a friend who could really use some!

Spring Chickee (new dies)

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.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store.  You can pick up the entire bundle at a 60% off savings. The individual dies are currently at 30% off. 

There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there. I do a combination of both designs for my Easter cards. Today, I have a whimsical one for you. 

I am using the new Spring Chickee in Basket die and the phrases are from the Faith Sentiments + the Spring Sentiments dies. So, let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I started with my background. I found designer paper that had a sky and cloud theme. It was a bit light, so I took a cloud stencil and tumbled glass distress ink and deepened the color a bit. 

Next, I cut the main image using different bright cardstocks. I liked the colors used on the packaging, and I kept with that color scheme. 

Then I used the Faith Sentiments & the Spring Sentiments dies for the phrases on my card. I cut them in a royal blue cardstock to allow them to stand out on the background. 

Now that my card elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I did cut a grass base using the Grass Slimline die and attached with double sided tape. The basket image is attached with the same adhesive.   

My Easter Blessings phrase is attached with Art Glitter glue. I like it because it dries clear. 

To finish off my card, I attached the image panel to a white card base measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I also added some spring tulips cut from the Spring Kitten w/Envelope die and scattered a few pink enamel dots.  

That's it for me for this week see you again next Saturday!

Easter Blessings

Good morning Cottagcutz fans. It's Wendy bringing you the blog today.I do hope you've had a wonderful week. It's pretty cold out now so I say lets stay in and craft this weekend

Today I'm bringing you a card using the newly release spring dies. They are adorable and they are still on offer at 60% off the entire release. You can find them here

So today's card is pretty quick and easy so I will be giving you a light touch tutorial

To begin with, i used the 'Clouds Slimline' to create a stencil. I used some distress ink (Tumbled Glass) and a brush to rub over the stencil to get the cloud effect. Remember, start part way down your card and then gradually move up the card

Next I cut out the grass slimline dies twice. The first layer was attached with glue but the second was attach with 1mm 3d foam pads.

The first element on my card was the cutest die I have ever seen, 'Miss Spring bunny'. The die is so intuitive and is she easy to put together. Once assembled I added her to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads

Next I cut out element from the 'Spring chicken' die. I used the wooden log and the sign. I found a stamp in my statsh that fitted the sign perfectly. I cut out the vine, flowers and ladybug and attached these to my card

The final elements were the Sun and Tree from the 'Campin Out' range that I will list below for you.

I really hope you enjoyed the card and that i have given you some inspiration for your weekend crafting

Hugs

Wendy
