Autumn On The Farm

Hi, Janja is here with you.
A little more, and autumn will come. This is the richest time of the year, enchanting us with beautiful autumn colors, juicy fruits and vegetables.
I tried to capture some of this on a card I share with you today.


CottageCutz dies - Lucky Leprechaun, Hats, Glasses & Mustaches, Old Farm Fence, Cornucopia, Ivy, Carrot Patch Bunny
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 13,7 cm)
- colored cardstock
- corrugated kraft cardstock
- colored ink pads
- watercolor brush
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads
Cut out the central motif with Lucky Leprechaun die and add a mustache.


Now cut out the various autumn crops.


Cut ivy from watercolor paper. I colored ivy with Distress Inks, brush and water.


Prepare a card base and trim a patterned paper. From corrugated kraft cardstock cut a frame and a fence. The outer edge of the frame is the same size as the card base.



First, attach a pattern paper and frame to the front of the card. Then paste the central motif, a fence and ivy. Finally, fill the bottom of the card with all the vegetables and fruits.





Have a nice day.
Janja

Art Journal - Live Life Through Art

Hello creatives!  Do you love art journaling?  
I am excited to be sharing the start of my newest art journal, live life through art using the Cornucopia die.
I die cut using watercolor paper.  Then I used watercolors to color in the pieces.
With the leaves, I blended the rich colors of autumn together.
Once dried, I used a charcoal pencil to add additional details.
Then I layered the die cuts adding pop dots to some of the dies to add dimension.
Next, I added lace, additional papers, burlap and ribbon to complete the front of the art journal.

Die used:

Wishing you a creative day.

Autumn leaves

Hi, Janja here!

In a sunny autumn afternoon during a walk in a nearby forest, one hears only rustling of leaves beneath the feet. Under the impression of beautiful colors that flow on autumn leaves, I created this card.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white and color cardstock
- Distress ink: Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo
- Memento ink: Desert Sand

Slightly shadow patterned paper with distress ink and stamp text.


With dies - give thanks and cornucopia cut out the most of oak leaves and acorns. Also cut out branches with winter branches die. Shadow all the pieces with distress inks.


For a hedgehog use forest critters die. At the end stamp " Thinking of you".



 Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Cornucopia Thanksgiving


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Friday edition of the Blog.
 
The 2nd part of the Christmas dies have been released as well as new Autumn dies. If you haven't been over to the online store, you should definitely go and take a look at all the new goodies.
 
 And, today I am showing you several of the new Autumn sets with the Cornucopia, Give Thanks and Wheat Stalks dies. They are all so perfect for creating your Thanksgiving or Fall cards. I like to send Thanksgiving cards to Family and Friends to remind everyone that we have so much to be thankful for.
 
So let's get started with the details of how I created my card today.
Cinnamon Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Vanilla Image Panel: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
 
I started my card this week by die cutting all the fruit, veggies and the cornucopia. I used the color of cardstock corresponding to the fruit or vegetable image. I dusted the edges of the images with inks to match.
 
Now this part of the card is ready for assembly on the vanilla panel. I also die cut the Give Thanks word in a rich raspberry cardstock. Cut it 2x and layered for a little added dimension. On this panel I also used fun foam to lift it up from the card base. I think doing gives the card added interest.
 
Here is a close-up shot of the fruit and veggies. The detail on the CottageCutz dies is so amazing and takes your cards to the next level.
 
The completed card
For this card , I also completed the inside panel with a stamped Thanksgiving sentiment and I used the wheat stalks die cut in kraft cardstock to add a little attention.

 Here is a close-up photo of the wheat stalks. That cute bow is part of this die set. It cuts in one pass with 6 stalks of wheat and the bow.
 
Well, that's it for me for this week. See you again next Friday. Have a great week-end and hope you have time to create. So until next time .......inky hugs.

Thanksgiving Basket

We've been having so much fun showing you great creations to make for Christmas, but I wanted to sneak a Thanksgiving project in here before we missed it! I have always had a thing for cornucopias - so this Cornucopia die was a must have for me! If you start looking at all of the mini-shapes that are a part of this set (leaves, corn apples, pears, etc.), I'm sure you can start thinking of all kinds of ways to use this all year long. I cut all of the pieces out of Kraft cardstock, and then colored them with Copics. I think starting with the Kraft, gave everything a nice, rustic look.








Don't you think this would make a great decoration for Thanksgiving?

hugs,
Gini
