Pumpkin Latte!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you today!

It is time for all of our very favorite flavors and spices!  I don't know about you but I love the pumpkin scones at Star Bucks.  And of course if they don't have the scones I settle for a delicious cup of pumpkin latte!  Oh I love fall!!!

With all of the wonderful colors, smells and crisp air who can resist autumn.  This fabulous season is my inspiration today.

Designer Steps:

 1.  Using the Mr. Snuggles die and the Pumpkin Pie & Latte die cut out all of the pieces using white, cream and brown card stock

 2.  Shade the bear piece with TH Vintage ink and color the cup using your favorite markers.  I used my Copics

3.  Assemble the bear and cup set aside

 4.  Use a white A2 card base, cut a piece of brown card stock just slightly smaller then the base front, Cut a piece of checked DP 4 x 5 1/4 and a piece of leaf DP 5 1/4 x 2.  Make a brown bottom layer slightly bigger for the 5 1/4 x 2 inch piece of leaf DP.  Use the 4th from the largest Pierced Rectangle and cut it on white card stock

 5.  Layer the Leaf DP on top of the brown and add the raffia ribbon and bow

 6.  Stamp the upper right hand corner of the white Pierced Rectangle with Happy Fall and then pop the bear onto the rectangle

7.  Glue the brown and checked paper to the white card front and add the strip of leaf DP.  Next just pop up your little bear panel and your card is complete

Scarecrow Card

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have a fall card to share.  I'm excited for fall which is just around the corner.  It is definitely my favorite time of year and I absolutely love crafting for the holidays!

When I selected the papers for my card, I wasn't sure how well they would work together even though they were in the same paper stack. However, with the coordinating die cuts, everything pulled together perfectly for a cheerful fall theme.

I used the Harvest Scarecrow, Double Stitched Rectangle Set and the Circle Set dies to cut out all of the elements for my card.  I inked the circle with some Fossilized Amber Oxide Ink.  Each of the die cuts were also inked on the edges for added dimension.

I built my card base by layering the rectangle frame at an angle.  The inked circle was placed over the rectangle to break up the pattern.

The scarecrow was centered on my card base and surrounded by the large sunflowers.  All of the details in this die set created the perfect fall scene.

The plump pumpkins were the finishing accents.  I opted not to add a sentiment on my card so as to not distract from all of the details on my card.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the shop:

Get Well Soon

Hi! Janja is with you today to share a card created with a few spring dies.
Let's take a closer look at the card I created.

- CottageCutz dies: Spring Teapot & Cups, Spring Bowl w/ Eggs, Coffee & Donuts, Nested Stitched Doily Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- white crystal drops
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

Cut a teapot, two cups, and a bowl from colored cardstock. Fill the bowl with donuts.

Trim a piece of white cardstock. Lay a cardstock on a scoring board and create a few fold lines on it.

Now color a cardstock with Distress Oxide pad.

To add some texture, spray the cardstock with water and emboss it with a lumber folder.

Left and right paste a patterned paper and cut the background with a square die. The size of the square is 4.9 x 4.9" (12,5 x 12,5 cm).
Unfortunately, the relief becomes slightly flattened while cutting with a die. It would be better to use a paper cutter.

Cut out a napkin and a strip of white cardstock. Stamp a sentiment.

Completed card.

Have a nice day.

Imagine Summer

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made one last Summer card for this season, before I move to Autumn and Christmas cards.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Surfboard 1, Flipflops, Happy Fish 2, Circle Set, Clouds & Sun, Imagine Phrase),
- Distress Inks and Oxides,
- craft card base (10,5x15 cm),
- white and craft card stock for die cuts and background (9,5x14 cm),
- black pen,
- brush,
- scalpel,
- pencil,
- double sided wide tape,
- scissors,
- sand,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the flip flops- I cut two pairs of bottom for more dimension.This time I used Distress Oxides for coloring.

Next I cut the sun.

And then the fish. I used black pen for the eye.

I did the circles and the sentiment next. i used craft card stock for the sentiment. And I used blue ink for the edges of the circles.

Then I cut a surfboard and used it as a stencil to cut another from the white card stock. I used this one as the bottom of the surfboard. I then cut one more with the die.

I had three surfboards cut and I colored It with Distress Oxides. I only used smaller pieces of the red surfboard to insert it in the yellow one.

Next I did the sandy beach. I taped double sided paper on the card stock and then put sand (I brought it from my vacation and stored in a jar) on the other side. I cut a piece out for the card using scissors.

Then I used a scalpel and cut a piece to insert the surfboard.

Last I did the background. I used a brush to make some waves with water.

And when all that was done I glued all the pieces together and my card was done.

I wish you all a nice Sunday. See you again next week.

Anja Z.
