Special Delivery

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam on the blog with you today!

I know slimline cards are all the rage right now so I thought I would make one for Valentine's Day.  The Circus dies plus a few of our older dies made such a cute card.  I am not sure I can give it away!  Hee Hee















Design Steps:
1.  Using a variety of card stock and these three dies: Love Letters Pedaling Puppy & Circus Train (for the little basket) cut out your pieces.  Shade them with several different inks and then glue them together with a fine tip glue
2.  Using the Sweetheart Dollies die and white card stock cut out one large circle and two of the second in size. Make your slimline card which is also on white card stock cut a piece 8 1/2 x 7 and then on the 7 inch side score at 3 1/2.  Cut a piece of hot pink card stock 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 and a piece of DP 6 1/2 x 3 1/8
4.  Glue the hot pink to the card front, glue the DP to the middle of the hot pink and the center your circles as shown above
5.  Use pop dots on the back of the little puppy and place in center circle.  Glue down flat the mail box and the little bird.  Stamp your sentiment below the bird and your card is complete

I hope if you haven't tried a slimline card yet you will give it a whirl!  I had so much fun mixing dies and creating this sweet little Valentine!

Made With Love

Hi!

It's Anja here. I played with some Christmas dies for today's post. During last month and a half when I was mostly at home I did plenty of baking. And this is where the inspiration for today's post came.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Gingerbread Baking Set, Baking Reindeer, Made w/ Love Phrase, Sweetheart Doilies),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (17,5x12,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (17x7 cm),
- red card stock for die cuts and background (17x12 cm),
- patterned paper for background (16,7x11,7 cm),
- yellow card stock for background (17x7,8 cm),
- white pen,
- silver pigment ink,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all baking props.


Next I cut the sentiment. I made two cuts from two different colored card stock.


I glued the yellow one on top of the red one.


Then I cut all the pieces for the background.


I decided to add some interest to the background with a few doilies. I die cut three and trimmed it in half.


This is how I adhered it on the back. I used adhesive foam pads to glue this part on the bard base.


Then I added all the other pieces and my card was done.



I wish you all a lovely week and see you again next Sunday.

Happy 2020!

Hi!

It's Anja here for my last post in 2019. Today I have no coloring project for you. I made little tags you could use for decoration for your New Year's dinner.


For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Ugly But Cute Sweater, Sweetheart Doilies, Circle Set, Sugar & Cream Alphabet, Expressions Happy),
- craft, white and dark red card stock,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.

First I cut two sweaters and some decorative elements, one set from white and the other from craft cardstock. I adhered all the pieces with glue.


Next I cut two sets of larger circles, two sets of smaller circles and two doilies.


Then I cut the sentiment and numbers from dark red cardstock.


I adhered the circles together. I used adhesive foam pads to add the sweaters.


And my project was done.




This is all from me for this year. You can also check the online store for some After Christmas sales

I wish you all pleasant New Year's celebrations and all the best in 2020.

Have a nice day and see you again in a week.

Anja Z.

Ballerina Mouse Birthday

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. 

The new release of Birthday dies have been restocked in the online store. So if you didn't get the ones you wanted previously, all 25 designs are in stock. This release is filled with cute little whimsical animals, birthday cakes, cupcakes and birthday phrases. Everything you need to create some outstanding birthday cards.

Today, I am featuring the Ballerina Mouse die. I needed a birthday card for a little girl turning 3 and I was invited to the birthday party. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Step 1: I found this interesting sketch #762 on Splitcoaststampers this week. I thought it would be a good layout to feature this new die and allow me to use designer paper, a birthday number balloon and a stamped sentiment. 
I wanted the papers to be girly and I found this designer paper with shades of pink, teal and cocoa. I used the coordinating cardstocks as layering panels. 
Cocoa Card Base: 4 3/8" x 5 3/8"
Pink Layering Panel: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Designer Paper: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"


I cut the ballerina mouse in a light gray (smoky slate) and her outfit in 2 shades of pink (pretty in pink and pink pirouette). Her ballerina slippers are cut in teal cardstock. 
For the number balloon. I used the Stitched Numbers die and the streamer is from the Ballerina Mouse die. 


For the circle elements of the sketch, I used the Circle (4th largest), Stitched Circle (4th largest), Double Stitched Circle (5th largest) and the Sweetheart Doilies (2nd largest) dies. The sizes fit my image and sentiment well.

Step 2: I am ready to start card assembly Next, I stamped my birthday sentiment. It's a one liner but with the help of my MISTI and masking I changed it to 3 lines. I stamped in teal ink.
Attached the designer paper to the pink layering panel with double sided tape.
Next I secured the ballerina to the circle layer with double sided tape. I am using the #3 balloon as element 5 of the sketch. I just moved it to the other side.
Then I added the sentiment circle.
I thought I was finishing off my card by attaching the cocoa card base and adding enamel dots to the sentiment circle. But I thought it still need something to balance the lower left corner.
So I cut the balloon bunch from the Festive Birthday die.
Still wasn't quite right for me.  I thought I needed something on the top left. I couldn't add any enamel dots because of all the dots on the designer paper. So I cut the happy phrase from the festive Birthday die in teal cardstock. And my card is complete.

Well that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this sweet Ballerina Mouse die. See you again next Saturday.
