Anniversary in the Pines

Happy Friday crafty friends!  

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas ♥ 

We have an after Christmas sale going on right now with savings of up to 80%.  The sale runs through January 2 so stop over and visit to get some dies you may have on your wish list. 


Kris here sharing an anniversary card featuring the Pine Tree, Full and Pine Tree, Slim from our Christmas 2023 Release All the dies in this release are 30% off for a limited time.  

I'm also showcasing the beautiful Garden Bride & Groom die and Stitched Hearts set to make this heart window cutout card for my husband for our anniversary.  We got married a few days before Christmas and had white flocked (and lit) trees in the sanctuary, so I left the top layer of my tree dies white to resemble snow.

Below is the inside of my card.  


I followed the Color Challenge CC979 at Splitcoast Stampers 


Sweet Sorbet
Daffodil Delight
Lemon Lime Twist
Petal Pink
Neutrals of your choice

DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut my Garden Bride & Groom from black cardstock.  Then I die cut my trees and cut a piece of 5-3/8" x 4-1/8" from white cardstock.


I used Twisted Citron, Scattered Straw, Abandoned Coral, and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and blended onto the white panel as shown.


I used Mowed Lawn and Vintage Photo D.O. ink and blended onto tree bases and trunks.  I left the top layers white to resemble snow. 


Next, I spattered white paint with a paint brush dipped in water then paint and hit the handle using another paint brush handle as shown below. 


I cut my card base from black cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" and then with card open, I die cut the largest  Stitched Hearts set  from the center of card front. 


I added a sheet of scrap paper to cover the back 1/2" of my card, then spattered white ink onto the front to resemble snow.  


I mounted my silhouette to the ink blended panel and then I cut a white mat at 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" and taped to inside of card.


Next I stamped and die cut my Happy Anniversary sentiment from a Divinity Designs stamp set and glued to the inside bottom where it won't show thru the front when card is closed. 


For the front, I put a sheet of wax paper inside to cover my silhouette panel, then I added glue to back of trees where it would touch the black card front.  The wax paper prevents any excess glue from ruining your ink blended panel inside.  


My daughter insisted that I needed a snowy bank at the bottom of my card, so I cut a pc of black c.s. at 5-1/2" and die cut the top with the Hills Slimline die.  I then added puffy snow with my Snow Writer.










Thanks so much for taking a peek today!

~ Bride & Groom ~ (new die)

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.

Have you had an opportunity to visit the online store to see the new dies that have been released? There are 20 new wedding dies and 17 fun new nesting shapes.  They are currently on a limited time 25% off sale.

Today, I am featuring the new Garden Bride & Groom die as well as the new nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle die.
I have a wedding to attend soon and this die is perfect. I like the elegant appeal of this silhouette image. So I created a card a bit more on the clean and simple side to keep the bride & groom die cut as the central focus.

So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.
Step 1: When I make wedding cards, I usually choose the colors the bride has chosen for her wedding. In this case, it's a rich denim blue and a soft pink. I cut the scallop frame in the denim and then the bride & groom in white. I used the largest of the scalloped rectangle dies for my frame.
Step 2: I decided to stamp my sentiment on the card base before I placed any of the card elements. Used my stamp-a-ma-jig to help with the placement and to keep it straight. I stamped in the denim ink. I thought this sentiment worked so well with this bride & groom image.
Step 3: As I thought of ways to incorporate the pink into my card, I decided to use some ribbon. It dresses up a card nicely and adds interest. My card base is a little larger than what I usually do.
Card Base: 5 7/8" x 4 3/4"
Step 4: Attached the bride and groom to the scalloped frame with double sided tape. Once that was placed I die cut the corner flourish. I cut them first in white but it just didn't have enough pop. Once I tried the denim blue I liked the look. I used the corner flourish die. Attached the flourishes with mini glue dots.

Step 5: Finished off my card by adding a couple of pink hearts cut from the new Mr. & Mrs. die
Well that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you an idea on a way to use these new dies. Remember, for a limited time you can save 25% on the new dies.
