Oh No Kitty w/ Pop Up

Hey crafty friends!

It's Kris here to share some Monday inspiration with you!  I've got an interactive card for someone under the weather or has had an injury -- it's sure to make them *SMILE*  Featured on my card is Oh No Kitty, First Aid KitOuch w/ Tooth, and the giraffe from Safari Adventure Gang!




**I got the idea for this particular interactive feature from a crafty gal I follow on IG:  Srushti Patil (@srushtipatil on Instagram) and it was meant to be an interactive album page, but as you can see, I've used it as a fun element inside my card.  I've changed up the measurements (to inches) to make it easier.  I hope you'll give it a try!

DESIGN STEPS:

I started by cutting all my base card elements:  

Grey cardstock:
---(Card Base)  8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" 
---(inside cover mechanism) 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" - scored at 1/2" and 1" on one end
---(pop out mechanism) 1-5/8" x 7-1/2"
---(pop out image panels, x2) 2-1/8" x 2-1/2" 
---(left inside panel) 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" (not pictured below)

Pink/white patterned paper #1 (gingham):
---(front of card)  5-1/4" x 4"
---(inside cover mechanism)  1/4" x 2-1/4"
---(left inside panel) 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" (not pictured below)

Grey/white patterned paper:
---(inside layers x 2)  5-1/4" x 4"

Pink/white patterned paper #2: 
---(pop out image panels)  1-7/8" x 2-1/4"

White cardstock:
---(inside cover mechanism)  2-1/4" x 3-1/4"



1.  Adhere the pink gingham paper to the front of card and the grey/white patterned layers (2) to the inside of your card. 

2.  Adhere the white cardstock to the largest portion of the inside cover mechanism.  Glue the narrow pink/white patterned strip between the 2 score lines of cover mechanism.  (see photo below)

3.  Adhere the 2 pink/white image panels to the 2 grey image panel mats.  Set aside.


4.  With the pop out mechanism (1-5/8" x 7-1/2") vertical in front of you, measure and mark w/ pencil  at 3/8" and 1" across the top and bottom.  Draw a line both lines vertically.

5.  Turn mechanism so that the 3/8" tab is at the top horizontally, and measure and place a mark at 2-1/2" and 5" across top and bottom, draw lines vertically to connect as shown below.

6.  Along the bottom line (at 1" line) measure and place a mark at 3-1/8" and 4-3/8" as shown below.


7.  Using the photo below for reference, Draw diagonal lines from corner to those marks you just drew.


8.  Cut away the 4 corner sections as shown in photo below by scribbles.


9.  SCORE along the bold lines in photo below (the diagonal lines and 2 horizontal lines)  


10.  Push in on the diagonal score lines which will cause the mechanism to fold like this:

11.  Open it back up.  With the 3/8" tab at the top, apply glue to the outer arms as shown.  Be sure NOT to add glue clear up to the diagonal line... try to stop with the edge of the tab.   

12.  With the image panels horizontal, line up the TOPS of them with the top edge of the glued arms.


13.  Pull the 2 panels together so they overlap, and turn mechanism over and apply glue to the back section as shown.  Turn it right side up and position it into the center fold of card.  

**TIP:  It helps to lift the left side of card to form a 90 degree angle so that you make sure not to go over the score line.  


14.  Add glue to the angled portion on top --- be sure not to get glue on the scored tab!  Close the card and rub fingers over the mechanism to adhere. 


15.  Open card up flat and fold the 3/8" flap down.  Apply glue to tab and attach the short edge of cover (not the tabbed end) so the edge lines up with the edge of tab.


16.  Apply glue to the far right tab as shown and tuck it under to adhere.



Mechanism is done!!  Time to decorate!!

Die cut the following:
Oh No Kitty from grey and white cardstock
First Aid Kit from white cardstock
Ouch! from Ouch w/ Tooth
 the giraffe from Safari Adventure Gang from white c.s.
Hugs w/ Shadow from both pink and white c.s.
the 2-3/4" Stitched Squares die from pink patterned paper
the 3-1/8" Nested Scalloped Square die from white c.s.

I colored the white die cuts with Distress Oxide inks and a blending brush.


I thought it'd be cute to take this giraffe's temperature with the thermometer from First Aid Kit.  ☺



I hope you enjoyed this pictorial and will give it a try!  

Have a CRAFT-tastic week!

Feel Better Soon

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this "get well" card.  Since we are in the middle of winter and flu season, this card is perfect for cheering up anyone who is under the weather.
I went with an embossed background for my card and then cut out my pieces from the Ouch With Tooth and the Chicken Noodle Soup die sets.  The napkin is triangle cut with my paper trimmer.
Once I matted the embossed card stock on a blue background, I added the triangle napkin at the base of my card.
Next, each of the die cuts were adhered on top of the napkin with the extra spoon resting on top.
The "feel better soon" sentiment was stretched along the top of my card fitting perfectly across the background.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Blooming Meadows

Hi!

It's Anja here. Meadows around me are in full bloom. I love this time of the year because everything is blooming and colors are just beautiful. But not everyone loves this time of the year. I have a few friends and family that just waits for the trees, flowers and grass to stop blooming, because it gives them awful allergies. And because of all this sneezing around me I got an idea for today's project. I made two Feel better tags to send positive thoughts to all those who cannot enjoy the nature blooming.


For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Flowers for Mom, Mail Tag Set, Spring Foliage Border, Ouch with Tooth, Sending Hugs Bear),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- Distress inks (Peeled Paint, Bundled Sage, Pine Needles, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Stormy Sky, Dust Concord, Seedless Preserves, Fired Brick, Barn Door, Forest Moss),
- brush,
- scissors,
- violet ribbon,
- paper glue.

First I cut the tags and colored them with Distress Ink and brush.

 

Then I die cut and colored flowers and other greenery.



 

Then I cut the sentiments and colored them with Distress Inks.



And then I had to glue everything together. I cut Spring Foliage Border into two pieces, one for each tag.





And this is all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Get Well Bouquet

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog. We are still showcasing the beautiful dies from the Mother's Day release. They are so versatile and can be used for cards other than Mother's Day.

Also, want to let you know that there is a big sale going on at the online store. You can save up to 70% on dies. Lots to choose from so make your way over there to look around. You just might find something that you can add to your collection.

For today's card, I am featuring the Mom's Garden Bouquet die and I created a get well card. I never seem to have any of this type of card on hand when I need one. And, this die has such pretty flowers that it will brighten anyone's day.  So let's get started with some details on how I created my project.

Step 1: I started my card by choosing my layout. This sketch is an older one from Splitcoaststampers. I thought it would work well to show off the floral image, allow me to use  patterned paper and possibly some ribbon.
Step 2: Once the layout was decided on, I chose my card colors. I found this floral patterned paper in my stash and that determined my card colors. 
Vanilla Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Baja Breeze Layer 1: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Patterned Paper Layer 2: 3 7/8" x 2 1/2"
Vanilla Embossed Layer 3: 2 7/8" x 4 1/8"
Artichoke Green Oval Layer 4: 4th largest oval die
Vanilla Oval Layer 5: 4th largest stitched oval die
Step 3: I cut the pieces in the garden bouquet. Used a rose red, saffron (light yellow) and sugarplum cardstocks for my flowers. Used Ranger multi medium matte to secure.
I assembled the bouquet in the pitcher according to the packaging photo.
Then attached it to the oval using dimensional adhesive.
Step 4: Now that all the elements of my card are cut, I am ready to start card assembly.
 Attached the panels using double sided tape.
I decided to go with ribbon and used this baja breeze pleated ribbon.
Attached the oval panel using dimensional adhesive on the top and bottom of the oval. This way it will sit evenly on the ribbon.
For my sentiment, I decided to use the "feel better" phrase from the "Ouch with Tooth" die. I cut it in rose red cardstock 2x to give it a bit more dimension. Used the multi medium matte to attach to bottom of card. To complete I cut a few of the flower centers and added to the top of my card. 
 
And, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you some additional ideas on ways to use these dies for other card giving occasions. See you next Saturday.
