Fairy Tale Wishes

Hi!  It's Jeanne sharing my card today.  I love the Wedding Horse & Carriage and Wedding Chapel dies - they remind me of Cinderella! So I wanted to create a birthday card for a girl who loves fairy tales or could be used as a wedding card (just change the "wish" to "celebrate"!)

I cut the cardstock to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored it at the 4 1/4 mark to make a top folding A2 card.  All pieces except the word "Wish" are cut from the same vanilla cardstock.


The die cut images are colored with Copic markers.  (You'll see double in some of my pictures because I often make two of the same card at one time!) I used several shades of brown for the horse and cool greys to shade the carriage and wheels.


The chapel was colored with two shades of very light beige and warm greys for the roof. The rose was colored in the same manner using pinks and greens.
To create the horizon line in the background I cut a free form mask using scissors. Then I used a sponge to create the grass and sky.  The white panel is slightly smaller than the front of the card.
I cut another panel out of vanilla cardstock the same size as the card front.  From this I cut an oval using the largest oval die from Basics Oval Set.  I decided to emboss the front to give it some additional interest.
 I played around with the arrangement within the frame and decided to have the steeple of the chapel outside the frame.
The last things added were the word "Wish" and the rose.  I did need to trim one set of leaves off the rose to fit the space.  I also added rhinestones to the center of the wheels.

I hope I've inspired you to be creative!  See you next week.

Wedding Carriage

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

Have you had an opportunity to visit the online store to see the new dies that have been released? There are 20 new wedding dies and 17 fun new nesting shapes.

Janet (our video artist) has put together a video showcasing all the new nesting shapes dies. Just click on the photo below to be taken to the CottageCutz YouTube channel.
Now onto the card that I have created. Today, I am featuring the new Wedding Horse & Carriage and the Wedding Bells with Bow dies. So let's get started with some details.
 
I am attending an outdoor wedding in September that will be held at a farm type venue. I have seen the property and rustic elegance would be a perfect description. The ceremony will be held in front of a lake on the property and the bride will make her appearance in a carriage. So the new wedding horse & carriage die was spot-on for my card idea.
 
Step 1: I like to make wedding cards with the same colors that the bride has chosen. I always think that's a great compliment to her. I am using chocolate, pearlized gold and a copper metallic paper. Found these papers in my stash that are a good match for her wedding colors.
 
Chocolate Card Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Pearlized Gold Layer: 5 1/4" x 4 1/8"
 Step 2: Embossed the pearlized gold panel with a scrollwork embossing folder. I like the added interest it gave my card.
Step 3:  Cut all the die cuts at this point. The horse & carriage are cut in chocolate,  and the bells and bow are cut in copper. I wanted another layer to my card so I used the largest stitched oval die as a backdrop for the carriage and bow.
Step 4: Decided to add some burlap ribbon to enhance the rustic appeal of my card. Just a strip across the middle of the embossed panel will work fine.  Attached the dies to the oval panel and added a couple of copper hearts.


Step 5: Since I had the bells already cut in copper, I used them to finish the inside of my card. Added another layer of the pearlized gold cardstock, more hearts and the celebrate phrase completed the inside. The hearts are part of the new Mr & Mrs with hearts die.
I hope I have given you some inspiration on a way to use some of these new wedding dies. See you next Saturday and happy crafting!!!
