2. Using the Pink and Main Arched Stitched tag set cut out the larger tag with paper from the Jolly paper pad.  Cut the next in size tag from the Spring Fling paper pad
3. Pop the larger tag to the center of the card front as show. Then glue the pink checked tag to the green tag
4. Using paper from the Jolly paper pad cut out the medium size bow using the Pink and Main Bow dies

Country Jars! - Scrapping Cottage

Good Morning to Our Scrapping Cottage Fans!

Before I get started I wanted to give you a heads up about the sales we are have at our store.  We have a Collection of new release dies called Rise and Shine that are currently 25% off and they are just so much fun!  To see some card samples from the design team click here,  here and here!

Now onto the card for today! I had a stash of country looking paper so I used that as my inspiration for today's card!  Plus I have a friend from church who makes delicious jams and butters.  I was lucky enought to get one of each.  So I thought this would make a cute thank you card.

 1.  Using the Stitched Jar and Stitched Fruit die cut out the different elements.  I cut the jars out of vellum and silver paper for the lids.  The fruit is cut out of different colors of card stock

 2.  Use copics to give the jars a little shading

 3.  Glue the labels and lids to the jars

 4.  Using the labels as a base glue down the different fruits inside the jars on the back of the jars

 5.  Use a vanilla A2 card base and cut a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 piece of yellow card stock and a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of DP from the Studio Calico South of Market Collection.  Also cut a 5 x 1 1/2 strip of DP newsprint.

 6.  Glue all the pieces together and pop dot the jars to the card front

 7.  Cut out 3 Thanks and glue together and then add glossy accent to the top of Thanks

8.  Cut out a small rectangle using the Double Stitched Rectangle die.  Glue to the front and then glue down the word Thanks

Here is my card for the hop!

I decided to make a gate fold card for our hop!  To make this card I needed to use my Misti to make the mirror image of the little dragon!  And it worked perfectly!!!

Designer Steps:

 1.  I used a red rubber plain stamp to create the base for the ink.  And I have a link to a video that will help you with this method!

2.  I inked the stamp up several time to press the black ink onto the red rubber

3.  After I got enough ink onto the red rubber base I pressed the white card stock onto the image

4.  Next I flipped the paper and stamped the image again to get the opposite facing dragon

 5.  I used the scallop Pink and Main die to cut out the opening on the front of the gate fold after I had glued down the DP from the Celebrate paper pad

 6.  I stamped the images using the Fired Up stamp set and colored with copics: Y13, 19 - RV10, 13, 21 - V12, 15, 17.  I cut out the images with the coordinating dies.

 7.  Stamp the sentiment using the Fired Up stamp set and cut apart then layer onto purple card stock

 3. Cut out the white fence using the Victorian Fence die.  Then glue it just below the greeting

 4.  Next cut out a strip of green card stock 4 x 1 1/4 and 3 grass strips using the Spring Grass die

 5.  Layer the grass onto the bottom part of the card as shown

7.  Shade the bunny with a gray ink then glue on the overalls add the black pearl eye and tiny buttons.  Glue the eggs into the grass and one in the bunny's hand and your card is complete.

5. Pop the scallop the the front of the card and add the navy bow
