Easter Eggs Card

Hi!

It's Anja here. I hope you're having a nice Easter Sunday.

I have an Easter card for you today. I used the beautiful Fancy Spring Eggs die which is one of my favourite Easter eggs dies.

I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Fancy Spring Eggs, Spring Foliage Border, Bib Mini),

- white card base (15 x 15 cm),

- craft paper (14,5 x 14,5 cm),

- 2 white paper strips (6 x 15 cm and 5,5 x 15 cm),

- Distress inks (Barn Door, Vintage Photo, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint),

- paper glue,

- adhesive foam pads,

- round corner punch,

- yellow and white marker

First I die cut three embellished eggs from white card stock and three egg bases from craft paper. I colored the embellished eggs with Barn Door and Vintage Photo Distress ink to make them look like Easter eggs colored in onion peelings. I used the same Distress Inks to color the edges of the bigger white paper strip. 

Then I die cut and then colored two pieces of border. I used Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint distress ink.

I rounded the corners or white card base and craft paper square. I put some Distress inks on the edges of the craft paper. I used the same colors as for the eggs.

Then I glued all the pieces together. I used adhesive foam pads for the white strip. 

I cut a few small flowers and colored them round the edges with Barn Door Distress ink. I gave them a little shape and adhere them to the green border. Finally I used white marker to put a little more interest to the greenery and yellow marker for flower stamens.

And just a reminder. There is a new release of beautiful baby dies and it is available on the Scrapping Cottage site. Don't forget to check it out and get 25 % discount.

Have a nice Sunday.

Baby Screen Card

Hi, Lois here with a card I made using the brand new Baby Dies, which are so very cute.  And right now they're 25% off, so be sure to go over to the store site and check them out!

Supplies used on my card are:

Pink cardstock - 11" x 5 1/2", scored at 3 3/4" and 7 1/4"

Dark pink cardstock (3 panels) - 3 1/4" x 4"

Patterned paper (3 panels) - 3 1/8" x 3 7/8"

White cardstock large enough to cut pieces

Scrap of pink and dark pink large enough to cut circle pieces

Various Copic markers for coloring die-cut pieces

Punches to cut border top and legs

CottageCutz dies - Baby Animal Mobile, Baby Girl Tag Topper, Pram, Stork w/Baby Mini

To start my card, I cut the pink cardbase 11" x 5 1/2", scored at 3 3/4" and 7 1/4", and punched the border top and legs.  You could use any border punch for the top; mine is an EK Success punch that has small moons and stars.  There are many different punches you could use to cut the legs.   I used the Modern Label punch from Stampin' Up.

Then  I cut the dark pink matting pieces and pattern paper . . .

. . .  and adhered the dark pink pieces onto the three panels of the screen.

I cut out  the various pieces from white cardstock, except for the tag topper, where I used scraps of light and dark pink.

I colored the various die cuts and constructed the pram, stork and baby, and tag topper.  I decided that it would be easier to construct the mobile directly on the panel rather than pre-make it, although I did "build" the animals that had several pieces (the giraffe, zebra and lion -- as well as the sun).

I then glued the pram to the first panel, built the mobile on the second panel, and glued the stork with the baby and the tag topper to the third panel . . .

. . . and adhered all three panels to the card.
