Farm Cow Peeker Pocket

Happy Labor Day friends!

We are having a HUGE LABOR DAY SALE going on right now -- save up to 65%!  Great time to stock up on your favorite basic dies or nab some of the uber CUTE CottageCutz dies... even the Li'l Bluebird stamps/dies are on sale!!

Hello ~ Kris here to share some MOO-velous Monday inspiration with you!  


Have you seen these adorable pocket peekers?!  I've used this cute Farm Cow Peeker, and the Peeker Pocket along with the Hello w/ Shadow die.

I've used the Splitcoast Stampers Color Challenge #964 for this week which is

Copper Clay
Moody Mauve
Misty Moonlight

The colors in my photos below do look a bit off from the color challenge, but I did use Misty Moonlight for my card base, and I substituted Pecan Pie for the Copper Clay.  

DESIGN STEPS:

 I cut my card base at 6" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" for a side-folding card.

I used another piece of MM cardstock and stamped a denim looking background stamp onto it with some grey ink (as I didn't have the Misty Moonlight ink and it gave it a more subtle effect).  Then I die cut it using the Peeker Pocket 

To back my pocket and to resemble the brown/tan stitching on jeans, I put a piece of Pecan Pie c.s. behind the pocket and cut it slightly smaller and then glued it behind the denim one.


I cut a piece of patterned paper (from the SU! Earthen Elegance pack as it reminded me of a sort of rustic cowboy print) at 5-3/4" x 4"and adhered to card front.  

I cut a piece of Pecan Pie ginham (from the Glorious Ginghams pack) at 5-3/8" x 3-5/8" and adhered to card front.

Next, I punched 2 small holes at top of pocket and added some rustic metal brads, then glued the sides and bottom of pocket to the lower gingham layer.
 

I die cut my Farm Cow Peeker from White, Sand, and Pecan Pie and then I cut small pieces of the Moody Mauve, Blackberry Bliss, and Mossy Meadow and die cut just the flowers and leaves.  


I added some coloring/shading with Distress Oxide inks and Copic markers and added white highlights on flowers & eyes with a white gel pen.  Then I assembled the cute cow with glue and tucked her head/body behind the pocket and her legs on top.


How stinkin' adorable is she?! ☺


I had this li'l buckle with some engraved detail and some braided twine that I thought would be cool on here, so I attached it with some double-sided tape behind the cow's head.


And lastly, I die cut a 'Hello' from the Moody Mauve c.s. and adhered to the pocket.  


Thanks for taking a PEEK!  Go check out these adorable PEEKERS and grab your favorites or take advantage of this AWESOME LABOR DAY SALE going on to stock up!!

Hogs and Kisses

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today and IT IS NEW RELEASE TIME! The collection is called COUNTRY FARM! It has the most delightful dies.  Everything from Tractors to Chicks to Cows!  Each die is just full of awesome details and can be used for so many different occasions.  Today, I am using the Farm Pig Peeker as a gift card holder / card.

This little gal is adorable with her floral headpiece.

I first started by coloring her with Distress Oxide inks.  I used Copic markers for the smaller floral pieces. (There is a sneak peek here of a card I'll have later this month for you!)

 I cut my A2 base and pocket from a Co'Ordinations cardstock which gives a weathered look when sanded.  I wanted it to have an "old jeans" look.  The Pocket was cut from the Peeker Pocket die which is currently out of stock.

I traced the pocket onto a piece of light blue cardstock and cut it slightly smaller than the pocket.  I glued this to the back of the pocket.

The pig peeker is glued to the pocket NOT the card to make a gift card holder. 

The front view.

I added her flowers and glued the pocket to the card panel.  When adhering a gift card pocket I insert the card while gluing so I know that I have enough room for the card. If I don't, I have at times, glued the pocket piece so tightly to the card that I can't insert the gift card! 

I stamped the sentiment and used the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle Slimline dies to cut a banner.  The excess I trimmed with scissors.

Finally I added a small daisy in the corner to match the daisy in this little piggy's headdress.  This panel can be used alone as a gift card holder or as the front for an A2 card!

Christmas Keys

Hi!

It's Anja here for my Monday's post. I made another "interactive" Christmas card today. I'll tell you a bit more about the crafting process below.

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Christmas Keys, North Pole Express Tag, Peeker Pocket),

- Distress Inks,

- craft card base (13x13 cm),

- white card stock for background (12x12 cm) and die cuts,

- patterned paper for background (11,5x11,5 cm) and die cuts,

- scissors,

- black pen,

- white pen,

- gold pigment ink,

- silver pigment ink,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 


After cutting and coloring all the parts for the keys I started on the background. I used a few pieces of leftover patterned papers. After I cut the pocket I placed it on white card stock and cut a few millimeters around to get a bigger pocket in white. I glued the patterned one on top and then with adhesive foam pads to the card base. That's how I got a bit more space to stick all three keys in. I decorated the pocket with North Pole Express Tag. And my card was done.


Hope you like my project for today's post. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Holiday Card With A Pocket

Hi!

It's Anja here. Hope you had a good time during the holidays. I had a few days off work and it was so nice to spend it at home not doing much.

But I took some time for crafting. One of the projects was this cute holiday card I did for a gift. It my give you an idea as a gift card holder.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Moose Pulling Gnome Sled, Holiday Corners, Santa Over Christmas Town, Peeker Pocket, Nested Wacky Stitched Square Set),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- dark red cardstock for background (3 pieces of 14x14 cm) and die cuts,
- patterned paper (3 pieces of 13,5x13,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- glitter embossing powder,
- embossing ink,
- black pen,
- heat gun,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the moose and the gnomes.


Next I cut and embossed the corners with glitter powder.


I did the same with the snowflakes.


Then I cut all six squares for the background and insides.


And last I cut additional squares and the pocket. I used red card stock for the pocket.


And when all that was cut and colored I assembled the card together.



This is the inside of the card with a pocket to hold your gift card.
 

And that's all form me. I wish you a nice start of the new week and see you again on Sunday.

Peeking Santa

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. Hope you are enjoying your summer. It's been so hot and humid here in the Pittsburgh area. So I thought I would cool things done a bit and bring you a Christmas card.

There isn't a new release of dies for July,  so we have decided to have a throwback month.  The team will be featuring some of our previously released dies to give you fresh ideas for using them.

My favorite TV shopping channel is having a big Christmas in July event. And, of course, I already started my Christmas shopping. 
Since, I am in the Christmas spirit I am featuring the Santa Peeker and the Peeker Pocket. dies. Let's get started with some details on how I created this card.
Step 1: This week I started with my layout. I saw this one on Splitcoaststampers and thought it would work great for the card that I had in mind. It would allow me to use Christmas patterned paper as well as traditional Christmas colors.
Step 2: I chose my colors for my card. The card base 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (#1) is red and I chose a matching patterned paper 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" for layer #2.
For layer 3 on the sketch, I am using the peeker pocket.
Layer #4 is red cardstock cut at 1/2" x 5 1/2".
Layer #5 is mossy meadow twine that matches the peeker pocket.
Step 3: Started cutting the die cut elements. First up is my peeker pocket. I used mossy meadow cardstock that picks up the color in the patterned paper.
Next, I cut the Santa. I colored his face and nose with Copic Markers EOO (skin white) & E02 (fruit pink). The arms, hat & beard are cut in cardstock. For the holly on his hat, I used wink of stella pen for a bit of bling.
The last die cut piece is my sentiment. I thought Believe was so appropriate with a Santa image. The word is from the Believe w/Holly Flourish die.
Step 4: Started my card assembly.
I thought the twine needed something else so I tied a little bow and used a red enamel dot center.  Attached the believe phrase with Ranger multi matte medium to complete my card.
 
Well that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you a bit of inspiration if you own this pocket and Santa die. If you don't have them, they are still available in the online store. See you next Saturday.
