Valentine Hugs

 Hello Friends

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME!  The collection is called Flowers and More.  The whole set is on sale at a bundle price of 40% off and individual dies are at 30% off.  The unique thing about this release is that there are not as many pieces in each of the dies.  So they go together really quick and easy!

I am making one last Valentine with one of the beautiful flowers.  The flower is called Flower 4.  To me it looks like a carnation which I love.

Design Steps:

1.  I cut a couple of the flowers in white trying to decide which to use and I decided on Flower 4.

2.  Using my Copic makers I colored the flowers: G99, G94, G21, YG63 for the stems R22, R02, R01 for the flowers.  I glued them together with a fine tip glue

3.  The card base is white 5 x 5

• cut a piece of DP 4 7/8 x 4 7/8  
• using the Hug Phrase die cut it out of white twice then glue together
• using the Be My Valentine Puppies die cut out the heart in white

4.  Glue the DP to the white card base.  Glue the heart to the center of the card slight toward the top as shown.  Last glue down hugs leaving the letter s with no glue until you slip in the flowers or you can glue the hugs down last

5.  Place your flowers and glue to the card as shown above

6.  Add the ribbon to the top left of the heart and add the pearls in the center of the flowers.  Your card is now complete

Countryside Bike Ride

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

It is time to get out all of our summer toys!  How does a bike ride in the country sound to you?

I am using the Spring Bicycle for my card today.  

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Spring Bicycle die cut it out of white card stock.  Use your makers to color the bicycle.  I used my Copic Markers

2.  Use an A2 Kraft card base, cut a piece of cream colored card stock 4 x 5 1/4 and run it through a brick embossing folder.  Cut a piece of kraft card stock 4 x 1 3/4 and give it a little hilly cut

3.  Glue the hilly kraft card stock to the bottom of the embossed cream paper.  Add the ribbon to the panel and then glue to the base of the card

4.  For the top of the card I used the little bird banner cut in white and then colored with Copic Markers.  I popped the banner up on the top of the card as shown below.  Glue the bicycle down flat and then add the sentiment glued flat also and your card is complete

I hope where ever you live here in the US you are able to get out doors and enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
