Ouch!

Scrapping Cottage Friends!

My sweet sister-in-law fell on the ice while unloading groceries and broke her arm.  Luckily no extra surgery was needed and I had the perfect die to make her a get well card.

Designer Steps:

 1.  Cut out the bear using the Bear Patient die.   I cut it out several times in dark brown, light brown, yellow and white.

 2.  Use ink to shade the edges and assemble the bear.  I used a black marker to color the nose and small rhinestones for the eyes

 3.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a slightly smaller piece of blue and the another piece of DP a lightly smaller then the blue.  Cut out the scallops with a border punch and a 1/2 strip of blue

3.  Assemble the card as show then cut out the Ouch! and Feel Better Soon in white using the Ouch! with Tooth die

 4.  Cut out a rectangle second from the largest using the Pieced Rectangle die in blue.  Glue the bear and Ouch! to the rectangle and use foam to attach to the front of the card

 5.  Use the largest Pierced Rectangle die and cut out a rectangle in blue for the inside of the card.  Glue the Feel Better Soon and the can of soup which I colored with copic markers

Foxy Friends - Scrapping Cottage

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Family!

I can honestly say I am almost done with my Valentine's Day cards!  I can't wait to send them off to friends and family!

The one I created for you today is one of my favorites!  I love the little fox and his birdie friend!

Designer Steps:

1.  Start by using the Sweet Fox die and cut out a rust colored fox and a light tan fox.

2.  Use the rust colored body of the fox and ink the edges for depth.  Use the light tan for the chest and tip of the tail.  Also ink the edges of both of those pieces.  With your makers color the tan bird blue and the wing dark blue.  Color the heart red, the nose and eyeball black

3.  Assemble the pieces as shown above.  I used a white gel pen for the eye dot

4.  Next cut out the grass using the Spring Grass die and green card stock.  Cut out the fence in white using the Victorian Fence die.  Cut out the piece of cloud DP with the largest Double Stitched Rectange die.  Glue all pieces to the DP

5.  Add the fox to the DP by tucking it into the grass

6.  Use an A2 white card base with an embossed inset

7.  Place a piece of fun foam on the DP panel and pop it to the card front.  Add the sentiment and your Valentine is complete
