Fall in Pink

 Hello Friends

I am stepping outside of my comfort zone using color.  I saw a darling card online by Spellbinder (sorry the Artist wasn't mentioned) and thought I would give it a try using CottageCutz dies.  The dies I am using are the Fall Scarecrow and the Harvest Pumpkin.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a A2 cream card base and a piece of cream card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  Run the piece of card stock through an embossing folder.  I used a leaf folder and used ink to blend in a little pink

2.  Use the Fall Scarecrow and cut the following colors of card stock: pink (pants) polka dot pink DP (shirt) black (shoes, eyes, nose, shoes and the words Happy Fall) brown (sign) yellow (straw) cream (face)

Glue the pieces together to create the sign and scarecrow

3.  Use the Harvest Pumpkin and cut the following colors of card stock: orange (pumpkin, leaves and flower) yellow (leaves and flowers) green (stems and leaves) cream (pumpkin, flowers and leaves) Glue the pumpkins together and the flowers

4.  Arrange the pieces onto the card.  Pop up the scarecrow plus the orange and cream pumpkin.  All the other piece glue flat

Halloween Box Card

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I am making a small box card for Halloween for today's post.  This little box will fit into an A2 envelope so they are easy to mail to friends and family.  The dies I am featuring today:  The Spooky Halloween Castle and the Halloween Victorian Gate are the two main ones.

Design Details:

1.  Rather then me explaining the box card base I am attaching a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIcjFCe8H74

2.  Your box card should look like this when complete

3.  Use the following dies to create the scene for your box: Spooky Halloween Castle, Halloween Victorian Gate, Spider Web, and Spooky Tree Gnome

4.  Begin to decorate the box.  The flaps and bottom of the box I used a layer of purple measuring (6 each) 2 x 2 5/8 then added the DP measuring (3 star and 3 check) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2.  The back of the box is 5 1/4 of purple and white measuring 5 x 1 3/4

5.  Add the grass 3 pieces measuring 2 x 1

6.  Finish adding the die cut pieces

Design Steps:

1.  Use a Kraft card stock base measuring 5 1/4 x 5 1/4, DP 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 and cut 3 kraft frames using the Large Stitched Wide Square Frame die

2.  Glue the frames together and ink edges, tear around the DP and ink the edges, and finally ink the edges of the square card base

3.  Glue the DP to the front of the card and then add frames

4. Cut out the greenery, mushrooms and leaves using the following dies: Mushroom Fairy Garden (Mushrooms),  Fall Centerpiece (leaves), Spring Greenery, Greenery and Botanical Garden 2.  Ink the edges.  For the extra texture I dyed a piece of cheesecloth brown.  Lay out your cheesecloth and then to tack down put a little exta glue on the backs of your greenery

5.  Place your leaves, mushrooms and acorns as shown above

6.  Cut out the hello fall 3 times using the Fall Phrases in dark brown card stock.  Glue together add the phrase to the upper right hand corner and your card is complete

Summer and Lemonade Go Together

Hello Friends,

The summers in Arizona is extremely hot so I thought I would do a card with one of my favorite thirst quencher LEMONADE!  This card will probably go to another person who live here in the desert who needs a little summer boast! I am featuring the Lemonade Stand, Garden Bicycle and the Fresh Lemonade Phrases. 

 Design Steps: 

If you would like to see a video this link will take you to Splitcoaststamper side step tutorial.  HERE

1.  Line up the short side of the card stock at 3 inches on a paper cutter.  Start at 1 inch and cut all the way to 6 1/2 inches

2.  Score the 2 1/2 wide section of the card at 4 1/4 inches

3.  Score the 3 inch wide section at 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 1/4 inches, 4 1/2 inches and 6 1/2 inches

4.  Fold the score line on the 2 1.2 side at the 4 1/4 mountain style

5.  To decorate the card front I used the following colors of card stock and dies for the cuts: Garden Bicycle (blue, black, silver) Lemon Branch (yellow, green) Lemonade Stand (wood grain DP, yellow, blue, white, and green) Lemonade Phrases (black light yellow, dark yellow, white and green) Grass Slimline (green) Fall Tree (brown, green and yellow)

6.  Cut a piece of wood grain DP 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and glue to the left side of the side step card.  For the grass the front pieces are 1 x 3 and 1/2 x 3, middle step is 1 1/4 x 3 and 1 x 3, back step is 2 x 3.  Decorate the left side with the Lemonade Word Phrase as shown

7.  Add the trees to the back step, the lemonade stand to the middle step and the bicycle to the front step
