Ginger Pocket Peeker

Happy Friday Friends!  

Kris here with you today, sharing a cute Christmas card featuring our Christmas Release!  All the dies in this release are 30% off for a limited time, so a great time to pick some up for those last minute holiday cards for this year OR to get a head start on next year's cards! 


Today I'm showcasing the Ginger Pocket Peeker from our Christmas 2023 Release, and the fun Trellis Background Die from our Black Friday Release!  

It's so easy to create fun plaid backgrounds with this Trellis background die! Marla shared in her latest video HERE how you can layer the die by cutting 2 and turning one upside down!  Easy peasy!!  

CUTTING & SCORING:

Red cardstock:
A2 top folding card

Teal Green cardstock:  

White cardstock:
 2nd largest Scalloped Rectangle

Teal patterned paper with white snowflakes:
3rd largest Stitched Rectangle


DESIGN STEPS:

1.  I layered the white Trellis onto the Green so that they are opposite (one upside down), glued them together and then onto my card front.  **Thanks again for that awesome tip Marla ☺

2.  I glued my patterned paper onto my white scalloped layer, then added foam tape to the back to pop it up a bit to center of my card. 



3.  Next, I stamped a denim background stamp onto my top and bottom layers of my pocket and glued them on. 


4.  I colored my die cuts and assembled.


5.  I added all my elements to the front with 2x the foam tape.  I then added some Snow Writer to the Hat trim and puff for lots of dimension.  I finished it off with a tiny snowflake in the middle of my peppermint and 4 green gems in the corners.  




Such a cute and quick card to make!  

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial ☺ 
 Thanks for visiting!

Strawberries in Tub

Welcome CottageCutz friends!

Kris here with a sweet card that is very easy to recreate using our Black Friday Release.  The individual dies are 30% off!!  


Dies I used:

Design Steps:


I die cut and colored my elements as shown above. I added some gold accents to the seeds on my strawberries.

My card base is cut from Pretty Peacock at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2".  I then glued my Trellis background onto card front. 

I die cut the largest Scalloped Oval from Poppy Parade and from vellum.  I then die cut the largest Stitched Oval inside of the red oval to make a frame and glued it on top of the vellum oval, then onto card front, as shown.


I added my strawberries in the tub to the middle of my oval with foam dots, then added the "thank you" sentiment to tub.


For the inside, I die cut the largest Stitched Rectangle from white and the large strawberry from the Sentiment, Thank You Berry Much die.


I taped the white panel to the inside center and offset the strawberry as shown.


Here's the front again.

Birthday Wishes!

Hello!  This is Sukie and I'm back with a post for my design team day!  For today's card I went with a CAS (clean and simple) design with a pop of color for the background.

The images were stamped with the Lil' Bluebird Designs Happy Birthday stamp set and cut out with the die set.  I colored the images with some bright and cheery distress inks and a watercolor brush.
The panels for my card base were cut with the Cottage Cutz (retired) Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame and Stitched Rectangle Set.
Once I stamped the sentiment on my card panel, I layered the 2 panels on a standard A2 card base which was inked on the edges to coordinate with my stamped images.
The banner was stretched across the top of my card for a fun and festive look on my card.
Next, the 3 presents and gift bag were lined up horizontally in the center of my card.
For a finishing touch, I added a couple of matte enamel dots amongst the presents.
Here are the products I used to create my card:

You Arrrrgh Awesome

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 have lots going on at the online store with a brand new Beach & Tropical release that has 14 new designs. You can currently save a big 60% off the retail price of these dies and pick up the entire bundle for under $100.  The Design Team will begin featuring these new dies next week. We also have a Christmas in July sale with savings of up to 65% on select dies.

For my card today I am featuring the new Pirate die and created a birthday card for a little boy. I always seem to need kid's birthday cards so I like to have them on hand.  So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps: 
I am showing a fun fold card this week. This one is called a split panel fold. I started off with an olive card base measuring 4 1/4" x 11". I scored it at 5 1/2" for an A2 size card. 
Then I cut the front panel at the 2" mark. From the piece I cut off, I cut another 2" x 4 1/4" panel. 

I picked a bright colored designer paper for my layering panel. Bright colors always seem to resonate with little boys. I cut the designer paper at 1 7/8" x 4 1/8"
Next, I decided to cut the Pirate image so I would know how large to make the image panel. I used the cardstock colors to match the designer paper. I used a striped designer paper to give him some fancy pants. For his face, hands and hair I cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I attached the pieces with Ranger multi-medium matte.
Skin: E00, E11, E21
Hair: E35, E57, E59
For the image panels I used the 2nd largest Stitched Rectangle  (2 7/8" x 3 7/8")& 2nd largest Rectangle (2 3/4" x 3 3/4") dies. I sponged the panel with a cloud stencil and tumbled glass distress ink then sponged salty ocean distress ink for water. 
Now that all the elements and panels are cut and stenciled I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the Pirate with dimensional adhesive, I decided to have him stand on a sand dune so I cut one from the Treasure Chest Island die. 
Stamped my sentiment "you arrrrgh awesome" on an angle in the right corner in black ink. Used my misty for placement and just in case I needed a second inking. But with this one one inking was perfect. 
For the image panel I just used double sided tape on the top and bottom.
I attached the image panel to the card base.

Well, that's my card for this week. I hope I have given you a fresh idea for using this super cute die with the fun fold design. See you next Saturday!
