Miss Ewe

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam creating with you on the blog today!

I don't know about you but I am really ready to see some of my friends and family.  Since I can't physically see them I am making a batch of cards to send out.  This little lamb was the perfect card for my sweet sisters!
Design Steps:


 1.  Cut out the lamb using the Spring Lamb & Chick die.  I cut them out in grey and white card stock


 2.  Using different colors of inks shade and color the pieces of the lamb before assembly.  I used a fine tip glue to attach all of the pieces

 3.  Use a white A2 card base, 4 x 5 1/4 piece of green DP, 3 3/4 x 5 piece of flowered DP, 1/2 x 3 3/4 piece of green DP and a 2 x 3 3/4 piece of green DP.  I also cut a pink checked DP square using the second from the largest Nested Stitched Scalloped Square die

4.  Glue the large green piece to the card base then add the flower DP and finally add the strips of green as shown

 5.  Next glue flat the pink checked square

6.  Finally add the lamb using pop dots add the sentiments.  I thought the sentiment needed some flowers around it so a cut out a few and added them around the sentiment

I hope that you are making tons of fun cards during this difficult time.  I know being creative really helps me keep my spirits up!
Blessings

Elephant With Balloons

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another cad for you today. This time I combined this cute new die with some older ones and made a card that open a bit differently than usual.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Party Elephant, Tree With Tire Swing, Nested Stitched Scallop Square Set, Pierced Square Set),
- Distress Inks (Broken China, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo, Black Soot, Spiced Marmalade,
- white, colored and patterned card stock for die cuts,
- black pen
- white pen,
- hole punch,.
- ruler,
- pencil,
- metal rings,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the elephant and the tree. This time I used colored paper for die cuts. I emphasized the cuts with Distress Inks.


Next I made the background. I cut two squares. I colored the edges on the left one, and sky and grass on the right one.

Instead of the card base I cut two scalloped squares this time. I used patterned paper.


I glued the squares together and made two holes on top for the metal rings.


Then I combined both sides with the rings and glued the elephant on top. And my card was done.




And that is all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.

Happy Father's Day!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this Father's Day card. These masculine dies made it easy to create this fun card for celebrating dad!
I created my card by cutting the pieces from the Hats, Glasses & MustachesHappy Father's Day Phrase and the Nested Stitched Scallop Square die sets.
I found this mustache themed paper in the Doodlebug Day to Day paper pad and coordinated the solid colors with the patterned paper.
Once I created my card base, I layered the background with the larger Nested Stitched Scallop Square.
The smaller Nested Stitched Scallop Square was turned on it's side and adorned with the die cuts.  I added some Glossy Accents inside the glasses.
While the Glossy Accents were drying, I worked on the inside of my card by adhering the sentiment along with the hat and mustache.  I also stamped a sentiment on a hand cut flag from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Fun Celebrations stamp set.  A piece of solid card stock was also added as a decorative element.
Finally my card was ready to be put together by adhering the die cut pieces to the card base. 
To finish off my card, I added the stamped sentiment at the bottom portion of my card.  The whimsical design of this card will be so fun for Father's Day.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Floral Corners

Hi, Janja is here with you.
For today's blog post, I prepared a simple birthday card with roses.
I placed roses on the opposite corners of the central layer.


- CottageCutz dies: Little Princess & Roses, Fresh Spring Floral, Cross-Stitched Square Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Square Set
- white card base: 4.6 x 4.6” (11,7 x 11,7 cm), folded
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- white foam
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape

First we cut out the wreath and roses.


Cut a white square with the largest die from the set. Create a background with a spray or use a stamp.
Stamp a sentiment.



Cut the wreath into four parts with scissors. Paste them into the background with glue.



Now place the roses as in the photo.


Prepare a white card base. Cut two squares. Use a foam and a pink cardstock.


Assemble the card.



Have a nice day.
Janja
