Cherry Cupcake!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans!


The Birthday Release has really given me the opportunity to stay ahead of all the birthdays I have coming up.  There are a number of sweet yummy cupcakes in this collection and each one of them lends itself to some bright cheery colors.

Designer Steps:

 1.  Using the Birthday Cupcake w/Cherry die cut all the pieces out in white card stock

2.  Color all of the pieces with your favorite makers.  I added score lines to the cupcake bottom and glossy accents to the cherry.  Glue all of the pieces together after the Glossy Accents is dry

 3.  Use a white A2 base card. Cut out a green piece of card stock just slightly smaller then the white card base. Then cut a piece of red checked DP 4 x 5 1/4. Glue the Red checked DP to the green card stock and then glue to the card front

 4.  Cut a piece of cherry DP 5 1/8 x 2 1/2 and then layer it on top of green card stock. Make 2 small banners with DP and adhere to the top of the cherry panel.  Add a ribbon and that panel is complete.  Glue the panel to the front of the card just slightly left of center as shown above

 5.  Cut a piece of green card stock 3 1/4 x 2 1/2 and run it through a dotted embossing folder.  Layer it onto a piece of white card stock

6.  Glue the green embossed panel as shown above

7.   Add the cupcake using dimensional tape.  Cut out the word celebrate twice using the Celebrate Expressions die.  Glue the two Celebrates together and then glue to the card front

Gift Card - Scrapping Cottage

Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans!

It is Pam from Stamper at Heart Blog Spot

I know now a days that so many young people like gift cards.  And it really takes all the thrill out of hunting for the perfect gift!  However it is a lot easier and faster to get the gift card.  So to make it a little more personal I decided to make the gift card holder!

Designer steps:

1.  Start with a 4 1/8 x 9 3/4 piece of white card stock.  Score at 2 1/8, 5, 6 and 7. Fold as shown this is the inside of the gift card

 2.  Flip the card over and glue the mountain fold (which is now the vally fold) together.  Then flip the card back over

 3.  Cut 4 pieces of DP at 4 x 2 3/4 and cut 2 pieces at 2 x 4.  Working on the inside of the card glue one of the 4 x 2 3/4 down as shown

 4.  On the inside glue the flap for the card holder down with a tiny lines of glue on both of the far left and right edges and then push it down onto the DP

 5.  Still working on the inside glue the 2 x 4 inch DP to the top flap and glue the 2 3/4 x 4 piece of DP to the bottom half of the gift card

 6.  Flip the card over and glue down the DP to the front of the card

7.  Next cut out the cupcake using the  Cottage Cutz Stitched Cupcake die also using Cottage Cutz Celebrate die cut out the sentiment.   Assemble the pieces

8.  Glue to the front flap as shown

 9.  Flip the card over and add a sentiment just below the pocket for the gift card and add a small velcro dot for secure closing

Gift Card Holder - Cottage Cutz

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

I just thought I would share another use for this cute little new release Baby Monkey die!  I always need cards for enclosing gift cards. So I found this really easy design on Youtube.  I altered some of the measurements so that it would fit into a A2 envelope.   It seems now a days that a gift card is all anyone wants especially my older nieces and nephews.  I must admit it is much easier then trying to please them but it does take some of the fun out of gift searching!

Designer steps:

1.  Use a light brown card stock base 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 4 1/2, 5 1/2 and 6 1/2.  Use your bone folder and crease the card as shown.

2. Flip the card over and put a strip of strong tape as shown then press together.  This will form the card holder.

3. Use the second to the largest Pierced Rectangle die which is the same wideth as a gift card and make the cut through the mountain fold.

4. And now it is time to decorate the  card!  Cut a white 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 piece of white card stock and emboss it with cupcakes.  Glue to the front of the card

5. Using the Baby Monkey with Balloons die cut all the pieces of the monkey and balloons.  Use brown, tan, and black for the monkey.  Before you assemble the monkey sponge the edges for more depth

6. Glue all the pieces together adding small black pearls for the eyes

7. Cut the balloons using designer paper and the strings out of black card stock

8. Cut a strip of light brown card stock 11 x 1 inches this will make a band around your card to keep the gift card inside it good and safe.   Just take your band and fit it around your card and make a tiny pencil mark as to where you will place the tape

9. Cut a Cross Stitched Circle out of designer paper and glue the monkey and balloons to the circle.  Then attach the circle to the front of the band set aside

10. On the inside of the card cut a Double Stitched Rectangle and glue to the center of the inside of the card

11. Using designer paper cut another set of balloons, string and the word Celebrate glue all to the inside of the card

Here are the Cottage Cutz Products used:

I hope you enjoyed this project and that it will inspire you to make a card with an enclosed gift card!

Blessings and thanks for stopping by!
