A Griswold Christmas

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

I don't know about you but I think one of the funniest movies I have ever seen is Christmas Vacation!  This little station wagon brings me right to the scene in the movie when the Griswold's went out to get their Christmas tree! I decided to do a fun fold card with this fun die.

Design Steps

1.  Use the second from the largest Stitched Scallop Circle die and cut a red circle.  Use the second from the largest Pierced Circle die and cut out a DP blue circle

2.  Cut a piece of white card stock 7 x 3 1/2 and fold in half

3.  Glue the blue dotted DP to the red scalloped circle then mount onto the small card front

4.  Cut some red card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and 2 pieces 4 1/8 x 2 5/8. Cut green DP 4 x 5 1/4 and patterned DP 4 x 2 1/2.  Cut a white 11 x 4 1/2 fold in half placing the fold at the bottom of the card then cut the front flap in half

5.  Glue the large piece red card stock to the inside of the card and the two smaller pieces of red go on the outside of the front flap and the inside of the front flap.  Glue the green pattern paper to the inside of the card and the pattern paper to the front of the outside flap

6.  Cut all the pieces using the Griswold Wagon and green, black, brown, red, green and vellum.  Assemble the car with a fine tip glue

7. Glue the small card to the green inside of the card folding the front flap under the flap of the smaller card.  Open up the small white card and stamp the sentiment. I added a small strip of DP for added decoration

8.  Add some white snow to the blue dotted DP and then pop up the car.  Add a snowflake, rhinestone and your sentiment.  I used a small Velcro dot to keep the card closed

Froggie Hello - Scrapping Cottage

Hi Blogging Friends!

I am so happy you stopped by today! And before we get started I wanted to let you know that we are having a wonderful sale in our online store. The new Spring release is 25% off.  Check out the new dies! They are so adorable.

Today, I am using one of the dies from the Spring release.  I think this little frog is just so cute!

Designer Steps:

 1.  Cut out your frog using the Spring Frog with Lily Pad die.  I used two different greens, blue, tan, pink and white card stock

 2.  Use a variety of ink pads to shadow your pieces and then assemble the frog.  I used a black marker to color the white die cut eyes and then added a white dot with a gel pen

 3.  Assemble the flower and the cattail

 4.  Use the large Stitched Scallop die and cut out a white circle.  Use a stencil and blue ink to make the clouds

 5.  Arrange the cattail and lily pad on cloud circle and glue them down.  Then pop up the frog onto the lily pad with dimension tape

 6.  Use an A2 white card base and cut out a slightly smaller piece of blue card stock for the front of the card.  Use a punch on the side of the blue to get the different size holes

 6.  Cut a piece of checked green DP 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 and glue it to the blue card stock.  Then glue it to the front of the card

 7.  Place dimension tape to the back of the scalloped stitched circle and place it on the front of the card

 8.  Use the Hello die and cut it out of white foam and glue it to the front of the card as shown

Halloween Potions! - Scrapping Cottage

Hi Scrapping Cottage Fans!

I really appreciate you stopping by today!

Halloween is fast approaching and I am getting all of my cards ready to send out.  My friends, nieces, nephew, brother and sister love getting them.  So I have designed one that is relatively easy so you can make multiplies pretty fast.

Design Steps:

 1.  Use an A2 black card stock base cut a piece of DP just slightly smaller than the base.  Cut a piece of orange polka dot paper 4 in x 3 in

 2.  Glue the orange dotted paper to the top of the DP.  Add a piece of glittering black ribbon between the two papers

 3.  Mount the DP panel to the black card front

 4.  Use some green DP and cut a circle using the Nested Scalloped Stitched Circle Set.  I used the second from the largest.  Next using the Happy Halloween die cut it out in black cards stock.  Then use a small piece of orange and cut out just the pumpkin

5.  Glue the orange pumpkin on top of the tiny piece of yellow card stock.  Then glue the orange pumpkin on top of the black pumpkin.  Glue the sentiment to the center of the scalloped green circle.  Pop the scalloped circle to the card as shown below
