Sweet on you easel card

Happy Friday, It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week and have plenty of time planned for crafting this weekend.

Today, yes I’m bringing you another easel but I really think they have a super impact for the recipient.

This is a Valentines card and I was really inspired by Pam’s colour on her card yesterday. What an impact red, black and white can have

Anyway, right to the card. I’m not going to show you every item I’ve die cut as I think that technique is more important. I die cut all the elements from the ‘Sprint Bunny Baker’ die and assembled. Here she is in her crowning glory. I thought the mixer looked very much like my cake mixer so used the colours from mine. Don’t you just love the little bow. I couldn’t help but pop a gem on the top. I also gave her pink cheeks with some chalk

Next I took the largest ‘Stitched Rectangle’ in white card. Once cut I wanted to add some brickwork to the background, to I took a stencil and added some ink with a brush. I have a tool that allows me to pop the stencil on the card with magnets so the card doesn’t move. I wasn’t fussed whether the ink was darker in some places so just take your time and find your happy design

Once inked, here is the finished piece of card 

Next I took the largest of the ‘Stitched Scalloped Rectangles’ in red card and attached my piece of inked card to it with 1mm foam pads. I also attached my assembled bunny to the card with 1mm foam pads

Next I took a piece of black card measuring 10” x 4” and scored in hall. I also cut another piece of black card measuring 5” x 4” for the front of the card. You’ll notice that I scored the front of the main card in half and then attached my other piece if card to the bottom part only to get my easel

 

To finish I attached my other piece of completed card with the bunny to the front. To keep my easel standing up I used the flower from the ‘Bottoms up Bunny Baker’. I cut it 3 times and layered it up to keep the card standing up.

I added some extra embellishments like a pice of white card on the bottom card with a stamped sentiment. I also went through my stash of Cottagecutz dies and found a suitable heart and popped this on the bunny’s hat, the mixer and then next to the sentiment and we are all done!

I really enjoyed making this card and I hope that you like it and it’s given you some inspiration to make your Valentine’s cards.

So I wish you  a wonderful weekend of crafting happiness and I will see you on Tuesday for another project.

Hugs, Wendy

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!

DON'T FORGET THESE DIES ARE PART OF THE FABULOUS NEW SPRING RELEASE! YOU CAN GRAB THE ENTIRE COLLECTION FOR ONE GREAT LOW PRICE FOR A LIMITED TIME!

The Dies I used to create this project:
