Walk in the Woods

Hi!

This is Anja again. My brother is finally doing better and we hope he'll be home in the next few days. We have a beautiful sunny Sunday here in Slovenia. Perfect for a nice walk in the woods. Like this fox I made for today's post.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Fox & Bird, Birch Trees, Rustic Sign & Trees, Snowy Tree),
- Distress Inks (Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Pine Needles, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain),
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- craft paper for background (15x14,8 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- paper cutter,
- white pigment ink,
- white pen,
- black brush pen,
- black liner pen,
- paper scissors,
- paper glue.

First I cut the card base. I cut the front for 6 cm. The inside of the card base was a little lighter, so I decided to cut another background (15x 14,8 cm) that's the same color as the outside of the card base. I used white pigment ink to add a bit of mist to the sky. I glued the background inside.


Then I used the dies and cut and colored all the pieces. I cut two sets of birch trees.




I colored the black parts with the black brush pen.


First I glued the birch trees on the card base. I cut two identical stripes of white card stock for the ground.  First is 9 cm long, the second is 14,8 cm long.


When I had the background finished, I added the remaining trees and animals. And this is the final result.





Have a nice Sunday and we'll see each other in a week.

Snowy landscape

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you another card created with CottageCutz Christmas dies. In the forefront of snowy landscape I placed a fox.


For the card we need:
- craft card base: 4.5 x 6" (11,5 x 15 cm), folded
- light blue paper: 4 x 5-3" (10 x 13,5 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress ink: Rusty Hinge, Evergreen Bough, Iced Spruce, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain
- white pigment ink

On light blue background stamp some spruce trees. From white cardstock cut out four stitched ovals (the 7th die from the center) and winter cabin border.


Shadow edges with Distress ink Walnut Stain, and while still wet gently spread them with white pigment ink.


Cut out birch trees with the birch trees and deer die. With Distress ink Walnut Stain strongly emphasize the right edges.


Also prepare a few white cutouts with the snowy tree die. They are treated the same way as ovals.
Cut out the fox from color cardstocks.


"Brr, it's cold outside today", said the fox and put on a scarf  :).


On the right bottom corner stamp warm wishes and start assembling the card. Use a glue and self-adhesive foam pads.


Completed card.
