We've Moved!

Hi Scrapping Cottage Friends!


We have friends that are getting ready to move.  So I am making them this cute card in a set in 5.  It will be a fun little going away present.
I used the whimsical Cottage with a Petal Roof for this charming card.  In this release there are two tiny sweet cottages and plenty of fun little gnomes!

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Cottage w/Petal Roof die cut all the pieces out in white card stock

2.  Color all the pieces with your favorite markers.  I used my Copic markers

3.  Glue the pieces together using a glue with a fine tip

4.  I like to arrange the pieces on my desk to see how I am going to place them on my card

5.  Cut out a rectangle using the Pierced Rectangle set the second from the largest.  I left the rectangle die in place and inked the sky and grass.  This technique gives you a crisp white border

6.  Arrange your little cottage and mushrooms onto the rectangle.  I popped up the cottage

7.  Use an A2 white card base cut a piece of purple card stock 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 and a piece of purple chevron DP just slightly smaller.  Glue them together and then adhere to the center of the white card base

8.  The pierced rectangle with the cottage on it needs to be layered with a piece of purple card stock just slightly bigger then the rectangle and then popped to the center of the DP on the white card base as shown below.  Add your sentiment and your card is complete

Our New Release Magical Garden is just perfect for fun projects in the summer months.  There are lots of wonderful whimsical dies and all of them just let your imagination go wild!  They are 25% off in the store right now so please stop at the online store and take a peek.  The card I am showing you today is made with the popular Bridge Fold. Hope you enjoy!

Designer Steps:

 1.  Cut all of the pieces using the Stone Fairy Door.  I used white, green, gray and dark brown card stock plus DP for the door.

 2.  Shade and color your pieces with your favorite inks and markers

 3.  Assemble the door and set aside

 4.  I colored all the little accessory pieces and then assemble them

 5.  Glue the mushrooms to the top of the door and the door is complete

6.  To begin the Bridge fold you will need a piece of white card stock 8 x 4 1/4.  Scored at 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 5 1/2, and 6 3/4.

 7.  Cut (4) 1 x 4 strips and (1) 2 3/4 x 4 piece of DP then layer them on blue card stock just slightly bigger then the DP. Cut a green strip of green card stock 1 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Cut the top of it to resemble a rolling hill.

 8.  Glue the strips to the scored white card base

 9. Then fold the front flap on the left in and glue the grass to it.  The right side fold is open and you glue the grass it it.  The glue is only on the front left flap and last right flap

 10.  You should be able to stand the card up at this point

 11.  Cut another piece of green card stock 2 3/4 x 2 1/2 and cut the top to look like a rolling hill.  Glue this piece to the bottom of the middle in the center of the card

 12.  Place dimension tape on the little door and pop it to the middle of the card as shown below

Knight on Guard!

Hi Everyone,

I have two of the cutest little great nephews. They both just love any kind of action movie that has to do with super heroes! I thought I would take them back a few centuries and give them a super hero from the past.  A knight in shining armor!  This fantastic knight is in our Magical Fantasy collection.  I think I am going to make 2 of these cards. One for each of them because it turned out so cute.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Knight die cut out all of the pieces.  I used light gray, flesh, and soft yellow card stock

2.  Before assembling the knight use your makers and ink to shade the knight. Add the blush to the cheeks and black for the eyes.  I used a white gel pen for the white on the eyes

 3. Cut out the Castle using the Fantasy Castle die and black card stock line the back of the castle with soft yellow card stock

 4.  Use an A2 white card base cut out a piece of blue dotted paper 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 and cut a piece of dark green card stock 4 1/4 by 3 for the hill

 5.  Glue the blue dotted paper to the front of the card and then using dimension tape add the green to the bottom

6.  Tuck the castle behind the hill as shown

7.  Pop the knight to the grass as shown above and add the sentiment

8.  For the inside I cut an additional lance and shield then glued them right under the sentiment
