Love You Mom

 Hello Friends

I am making a few Mother's Day cards for our church's annual boutique sale.  I decided to go with a slimline design to best display all of the fun dies I used.  The dies for this card are Pumps Mini, Elegant Hat Box and Love You Mom Phrase.  

Design Steps:

1.  Using the following dies Pumps Mini, Love You Mom Phrase and Elegant Hat Box cut out the following colors of card stock: Pink, black, white, green and silver.  Assemble with a fine time glue.  I cut out 5 additional large pink flowers, 2 additional small flowers and one additional white flower for decoration

2.  The card base is white 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 folded, use the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline die and cut out the black layer glue to the card base.  Use the Windows Slimline  die and cut out a piece of white card stock.  Cut out a piece of polka dot pink DP 2 7/8 x 7 7/8 and glue it to the back of the windows slimline .  Then glue to the black scallop rectangle as shown above

3.  Glue down the hat stand and then glue on the hat to the top window 

4.  Glue the sentiment plus a flower to the center window as shown above

5.  Glue the shoes to the top of the hat box as shown above

6.  Add some additional flowers and rhinestones and your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Blessings and Take Care

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

Today is Throw Back Tuesday so I am taking advantage of this fun day by getting a head start on my Christmas cards!!  I am using a super cute die from the 2019 Christmas Release Part 2.  It is called Ho Ho Friends.  I decided to make two versions one horizontally and one vertically.  Not sure which I like better maybe you can help me decide!!

For the vertical card I used a green slimline base and for the horizontal card I used a white slimline base.  For both versions I used the Hills Slimline die for the snow which is cut out of glitter paper.  For the top card after I glued the hills to a piece of white card stock (only glue down the very bottom of the hills so I could tuck in the Ho Ho Ho). I ran it through my die cutting machine using the Scallop Stitched Rectangle Slimline. For the bottom I just glued the layers directly to the card base and added some DP for sky.

After I got the base done I cut out 2 of each of the reindeer, penguin and Santa shaded them with inks and glued them together.  I also cut out 6 of the holly and lettering using the Ho Ho Friends die

I added the holly to the letter H and tucked them into the snow.  Next I added the characters to the letter O and tucked them into the snow.  The last step is to add glossy accents to the holly berries, penguin beck and reindeer nose stamp the sentiment and glue to card and it is complete

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

We have a new release that are complete must haves for your basic die collection.  It is a Slimline group with 9 different designs.  They are 25% off right now so don't miss out on this great addition to your essential must have dies

Our design team will be doing a few weeks of Throwback Tuesdays!  We will be highlighting some of our favorite dies that are still available in the online store.  I am using a die from our Beach & Tropical release.  The dies are called Hibiscus Flowers and Aloha & Ukulele.  I mixed these two dies with our  Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline.

Just a quick description, I used a white slimline card base. Cut a piece of kraft card stock with the largest Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline twice.  Glue one to the front of the card and save the other.  Then I used a variety of colors and cut out the hibiscus using the Hibiscus Flowers die

Next I cut out 3 Aloha in white using the Aloha & Ukulele die.  I glued the Aloha words together.  I arranged the flowers and glued them down also tucking in the leaves.  The final step was to glue down the Aloha and add a few sequins

I had an extra flower and some leaves so I glued the kraft scalloped retangle to the inside and added the flower to the lower left of the card.  I stamped my sentiment and the card is complete

Friends are Like Sunshine!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends!

We have a new release of Slimline dies and they are just a great addition to any card makers collection.  There are 9 designs and everyone of them can be used on ever single kind of card I can think of!!

Today,  I am using the Windows Slimline and the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Slimline with a variety of additional dies.

Design Steps:

1.  Base card is a white slimline, using the largest Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die cut blue card stock,  use the Windows Slimline die and cut white card stock 

2.  Use the Bird with Bluebells cut out the leaves and the birds in green, blue, light blue, and purple.  Use the Rooster and Chick die and cut out the sun in yellow and light yellow.  Using Garden Accessories cut the white fence. Use Spring Meadow for the green grass and purple flowers 

3.  Assemble the birds and sun using a fine tip glue

4.  Glue the blue scalloped rectangle to the white base card.  Glue down the Window frame and then quickly tuck in the grass, fence and branches.  Add the sun to the top right corner of the card

5.  As I was working on the card I decided that I needed some butterflies so I used the Spring Meadow die again and yellow paper to create the butterflies.  I colored the butterflies bodies with a black Sukura Jelly Roll Pen.  I also used this pen on the eyes along with a white one

6.  Pop up the birds on the branches and stamp your sentiment.  I felt like the bottom of the card needed something more so I used the Mouse with Flower Cart die.  I cut the mouse out of gray card stock assembled him and then tucked him behind the fence.  Add your flowers onto the grass and butterflies and your card is complete
