Monkey Love

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another Valentine's Day card for you today. 

For this card  used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Safari Monkey, Be My Valentine Puppies, Love Phrase, Bow Mini),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (10x21 cm),

- white and colored (red, pink, dark brown, light brown) card stock for die cuts,

- score tool,

- black pen,

- white pen,

- plastic stencil (clouds),

- brush,

- thread,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 


First I cut three sets of hearts and colored it around the edges. I scored in the middle. I cut the sentiment out of the white card stock.

Next I cut the monkey out of the brown card stock. I emphasized the edges with brown ink.

Then I cut the bow.

Last I did the background. I used a plastic stencil to make the cloudy sky.

Then I adhered the hearts and added the thread in the back. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere the heart on the card base. I also added the monkey and the bow and my card was done.


Hope you have a nice Valentine's Day. See you again next Sunday. 

Anja Z.

Love Cottage

Hi!

It's Anja. Today I have a simple card for you. I used adorable cottage die, which has a lot of lovely small details. I wanted to highlight those details and that's why I made a minimalistic background. 


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz (Valentine Cottage, Love Phrase),
- Distress Inks (Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo, Barn Door, Broken China),
- water color card stock (30x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- water spritzer,
- heat gun,
- paper trimmer,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the cottage. I used Distress Inks to color it.


I did the same with the love phrase.


Then I trimmed the paper for the card base. I made 15x15 cm base.


I used Distress Ink to color the sky. I colored in circles.


Then I spritzed a few water drops to add a little interest to the sky. I used heat gun do dry the paper. Before drying I used paper towel for additional water.


And then I just glued the cottage and the phrase to the card base and my card was done.



Before I go, I would like to invite you to the store to check out the new Spring release. Many new adorable dies, now for 25 % off. Can't wait to start using it.

Have a nice Sunday.

Love Doves

Hi!

It's Anja here. I'm still inspired by the wedding theme, that's way I have another wedding card for you today. This time I used Fancy Doves die and new Distress Oxides colors.


- Cottage Cutz Dies (Fancy Doves with Vine, Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set, Love Phrase),
- Distress Oxides (Abandoned Coral, Twisted Citron, Antique Linen, Peeled Paint),
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock (for die cuts, 14,6x14,6 cm square),
- black pen,
- soft brush,
- Sizzix Impressions pad and Silicone Rubber,
- paper glue,
- foam adhesive pads.

First I cut a square from white card stock and embossed the largest oval from Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set on it. I sprinkled a bunch of drops on the paper. I used Abandoned Coral mixed with water. I dried it with heat gun. I also cut a smaller oval from white card stock.

 

The I die cut all the pieces and colored them with Distress Oxides. I used a brush to color the vines. I wanted a softer touch of green and the brush is great for that. I cut two doves of each. Later I glued them together on one side (where the head is). 


When I had all the pieces colored I put the card together. I glued the smaller oval and the doves with adhesive foam pads. 




Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.
Anja Z.

~ Honeymoon Car ~ (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.

Today, I am sharing a sneak peak of some new dies that will be released over the weekend in the online store. There are 20 new wedding dies and 17 fun new nesting shapes. Today I am showing the new Honeymoon Car die and I placed it inside a Wacky Stitched Circle Die. I also used the Love Phrase word die.

So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Step 1:  I started my card this week by choosing my card colors. Since this is a wedding card, I wanted the colors to be bright and fun. I decided on blushing bride, mint green, and rose red as the main card colors.
Rose Red card Base: 4 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Blushing Bride Layering panel: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Blushing Bride Designer Paper Panel: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Step 2: I cut my wacky stitched circle in a shimmery vanilla cardstock. The Honeymoon Car is cut in the mint green along with the other card colors. The detail on the CottageCutz dies is always amazing and this new car is no exception. Plus, I love the stitching on this new die and we have other shapes coming with the same stitching.
Step 3: I started assembly of the card. At this point I wanted to stamp my sentiment. I am only going to use the words forever and always from my stamp. So I taped off the other words and used my stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. I didn't tape all the way to the top of the stamp. When I inked my stamp, I had the top part of stamp off the ink pad.
I placed my love word temporarily on my card just to see where I was going to place the sentiment. That way I don't have any interference from other cardstock and I get a good image.


Step 4: I adhered my honeymoon car image to the wacky stitched circle panel. Used dimensional adhesive to lift it off the circle panel. It always adds depth to your design. I love the balloons and tin cans that are part of this die. Just the way the bride and groom car gets decorated for their departure. So cute! Love this new die.
Step 5: Finished my card assembly. I used double sided tape for all the layers, multi medium matte for my Love word phrase.

That's my card for this week. The new dies are in the online store and for a limited time they are 25% off. Click here to go shopping.
