Thank You Pocket

It's Anja for my Sunday post. It's the second time in a row that I don't have a card for you. This time I made a small pocket that can be used as a little pocket for a short note or maybe for a little money prize. I decorated it with country farm dies. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Country Farm Stable, Dog in Cowboy Boot, Fancy Pocket Plus),

- Distress and other dye Inks,

- white card stock for die cuts,

- patterned card stock for die cuts,

- black pen, 

- white ink,

- black pigment ink,

- sentiment stamp,

- acrylic block,

- scissors,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the horses and the stables. 

Next I cut and colored the boot. 

Then I cut the pocket and colored it around the edges. I adhered the pocket together and added colored pieces to both sides. 

Last I stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I added the sentiment to the front side of the pocket. 

And my thank you pocket was finished.



 
 
And that's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.

Anja Z.

No Peeking 'til Christmas Gift Card Holders

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with gift card holders using the new Christmas Pals Peekers die from Part 2 of the new Christmas release.  Gift cards are my go to gift at Christmas for both my immediate and extended family.

These tag holders are super easy to create and can be attached to a present or hung on the tree.  

To start I cut all my characters from white cardstock using the Christmas Peekers die.

I used Copic Markers to do most of the coloring. I did a bit of shading using Distress Oxide ink in Pumice Stone for the Santa Gnome's beard and hat, and Tumbled Glass for the Snowman and the Penguin's hat.  I used Antique Linen and Tea Dye to color the Santa Gnome's skin.

I will show how I created one of the holders.  All holders were made the same way.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 3 x 6 inches and a piece of coordinating cardstock the same size.  I used a permanent tape runner to adhere these together.


I have a corner punch which I used to round the top corners and a slit punch which gave me the hole for the ribbon.  You could also simply cut the top corners at an angle and use a hole punch for the ribbon.

Next I cut the pocket from the same cardstock using the Fancy Pocket Plus die and heat embossed the sentiment. 

Because I was making several, I used my stamping platform and did all my stamping at one time.

I folded and glued my pocket together before putting it on my card.  I placed several acrylic blocks on top and left them for several minutes to give it a good seal.

I then glued it to the tag and added my peeker!

I cut a 16 inch length of coordinating ribbon and tied it at the top.  Now my tag is ready to hang on the tree!

These are very easy to assemble.  I chose to make each of my tags different, but if you use a paper that's appropriate for all of the characters (stripes, plaid, dots, etc) you can get eight tags from one 12 x 12 inch sheet of patterned paper!  My patterns were on paper so I needed the cardstock backing for stability, but if you use 12 x 12 patterned cardstock you can even eliminate one step!

And now for a little extra:  After I had completed these tags I decided that these would be perfect for my tree and immediate family, but I needed a fourth one.  (I'll be making more for the nieces and nephews).  I wanted something different and in looking through my dies...

I found the Gingerbread Baker from the new Christmas Part 1 release is perfect as a peeker for a gift card!

Be sure  to visit the online store where the new Christmas Release (Parts 1, 2, and 3) are on sale for a limited time!

Gingerbread Gift Card Holder

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today after taking a week off for a business trip.  We're getting down to the wire for Christmas and if you're like me, your go-to gift (especially for teenagers) is a gift card!

The Fancy Pocket Plus die makes the perfect gift card holder.  It comes with accessory dies or you can decorate it for any occasion using other dies.  Here I used the Gingerbread Man Cupcake die.
I cut all of the cupcake pieces from various colors of card stock.
I used Crumb Cake ink and a sponge dauber to shade the edges of  the gingerbread man and icing.
I cut the pocket from a coordinating color and used a hole punch in the top so that I could make a tag type holder.
Next I assembled the cupcake and used foam tape n the back so it would sit up off of the pocket.
After assembling everything I added Nuovo drops for the sprinkles on the frosting.

I love this pocket because it makes gift card holders so easy!  I made this into a tag but you can easily use it to add to a card.

Easter Cross & Tulips

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

We have some fabulous new Spring dies in the store. Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring the Butterfly Cross die.

 I started my card by using this weeks sketch #633 from Splitcoaststampers. Using a sketch almost always is a good starting point for me. When I saw the layout and the rectangle layer in the circle I thought of using the Butterfly Cross die for that part of the sketch.

Daffodil Yellow Card Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Patterned Paper Layer: 5 1/2" x 2 7/8"
Circle Dies: 2nd largest in set
Stitched Circle Die: 3rd largest in set

I wanted the card to be bright to reflect the Spring & Easter season. So I looked through my stash first for patterned paper. I chose this lilac striped paper and decided to pair it with a daffodil yellow card base.

I cut the first elements of the sketch: the card base, patterned paper circle, purple layering piece and the scalloped border. For the scalloped border, I used the Sweet Love Border die. When I placed it underneath the patterned paper, I moved it up just to reveal the scallop edge. For the lilac layer above the patterned paper, I cut it 3/4" x 5 1/2". It's not necessary to use a bigger piece of cardstock to layer in this case.
 
I cut the Butterfly cross in lilac. I decided to add some tulips at the base of the cross. The tulip die is from the Hello Spring die set. This was a 2016 spring release. I cut the tulips in yellow to pick up the card base color. Easter sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black ink.

The greenery under the tulips is the snow bank from the Snowman w/Lamp Post die set. I cut it then placed it in the circle die and cut it again to get the rounded edge. Just another way to get more mileage out of the dies you already own.
To complete my card, I added a butterfly. I used the butterfly die from the Fancy Pocket Plus die set. I cut it in with the lilac cardstock and then a top layer of daffodil yellow patterned paper. Finished it off with a couple of light yellow pearls. 

Well, that's it for me for this week's post. Just a reminder that we are having a Design Team call right now. You can get all the info here. So until next time.........
