New Christmas Release

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam on the blog today!

I am thrilled to share with you that we have a huge new Christmas release and a spooky but adorable Halloween release!  Each die is so detailed and they really gets your creative juices flowing!  I am having so much fun getting started on my cards for the holidays!

Today,  I am showcasing the ever popular Gnomes that are all over the paper crafting industry right now!  But of course I think our Gnomes are just the cutiest!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut all of the pieces using the Gnome w/Lights and the Moose in the Forest dies.  I used green, green DP,  red, yellow, blue, white, purple, brown, black and orange card stock

2.  Glue the light bulbs to the black light line and also glue the holly berries to the leaves.  Then add Glossy Accents to the bulbs and berries.  Set aside to dry

2.  Use TH's inks and shade all of the pieces and then glue together using a fine tip glue

3.  Use a white piece of card stock cut to 8 1/2 x 7 1/2.  On the long side fold in half then take the front flap and fold it in half.  This will create a little tent

4.  Cut a piece of DP 4 x 7 1/2 and glue to the front tent fold.  I also cut a piece of green DP for the inside of the card measuring 7 1/2 x 3 1/2  

5.  Open the card up and glue down the green DP.   Next cut a piece of white glitter card stock 7 1/2 x 2 and create the snowy hill.  Glue it to the bottom of the green DP.  For the greeting I used vellum with the sentiment printed on it.  The vellum is slightly longer then the card so  that I could tape it to the back of the card.  This way nothing would show through the vellum

6.  Using dimensional dots pop up the tree and the little Gnome

7.  Add a few sticker snowflakes and a larger plastic snowflake to the card and it is complete

Merry Christmas

Hello!  This is Sukie with a project to share.  There's a brand new release of Christmas and Halloween dies in the store with so many fun designs which are all on sale!  I created this festive card using a couple of the new Christmas dies.

I die cut the pieces from the Joy Ornament, Noel Ornament and the Farm Truck Ornament.  The Merry Christmas sentiment was trimmed off of the Farm Truck Ornament.

I added a circle from the Circle Set behind each of the ornaments which helps to showcase the intricate design of the ornaments.  I found the perfect plaid paper for my card base in my stash which was adhered to the green card panel for a pop of color.

I cut out a tiny strip of the metallic card stock and strung the ornament from the top edge of my card base.

The second ornament was also hung from the top of the card panel with a longer piece of card stock.

The Merry Christmas phrase was affixed to the empty space on my card base.  It fit perfectly next to the ornament.

This card was such an easy card to create to create with the fun ornaments.  The classic colors make it the perfect Christmas card! 

Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

You Inspire Me

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have a simple card for you today. I used a Happy Hamster die and made a card to tell someone he's your inspiration. 

I colored the background directly to the craft card base (13x13 cm). I used white pigment ink and a plastic stencil. Then I added the colored hamster. I colored it with die inks and I used silver pigment ink for the wheel.

Last I added the stamped sentiment and my card was done.

You can get the hamster die on sale as a lot of other dies (including new releases). Just check The Scrapping Cottage online store. 

Have a good week and see you again on Sunday.

Life Is Beautiful

Hi!

It's Anja here. I made a brand new scene on a card today. This reminds me of my holidays this year. Camping in nature, surrounded with mountains.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Camping Trailer, Moose & Trees, Woodland Pine Trees, Spring Grass, Snowy Mountains),

- die inks,

- craft paper card base (15x15 cm),

- white cardstock for background (14x14 cm) and die cuts,

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- silver pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- brushes,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored all the pieces. I cut two sets of mountains and grass and three sets of pine trees.

 

 

Next I did the background using inks and brushes. 

When I glued all the pieces to the card base I added the sentiment.

And my card was done.

Before I go I just want to remind you there's a huge Labor's day sale going on on The Scrapping Cottage online store. Make sure you get the dies on your wish list before the sale is over. 

Have a nice Sunday and see you again tomorrow with my additional post this week.

Santa Reading to Reindeer (new die)

Hello Scrapping Cottage 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.

We have three brand new releases in the online store. It's Christmas Part 1 (22 new designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 new designs) and a Halloween release (14 new designs). They are all currently on sale and you can save anywhere from 25% to 60%.

We also have a Labor Day sale going on with savings of up to 60% on selected dies. This sale will run through Wednesday, September 9. 

For my card today I am using the Santa Reading to his Reindeer and the Santa Express Tag dies from the Christmas Part 1 release. So let's get started with some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I decided to create a slimline card with these new dies so I looked for some background paper that I thought might work. I just bought this new Snowflake Splendor paper and I liked this subtle pattern.

Balmy Blue card base: 8 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Designer Paper Layer: 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" 

Next, I cut Santa and his reindeer. I used colored cardstock for the images. You could also use white cardstock and color with your favorite coloring medium

I attached the images to the designer paper using glue dots.

I was going to stamp a sentiment across the top of the panel but I didn't have one that fit this image. So I thought the Santa Express Tag would work well in the corner of my card. 

I cut it from red cardstock and then again from white cardstock. I used the die inlay technique and glued the words and scallops with Ranger multi medium matte.

To finish off this little outdoor Santa scene I attached the image panel to the blue card base with double sided tape. I scattered a few snowflake sequins to complete this card.

That's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new Santa die. See you next Saturday!
