Spring Bicycle Scene

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Friday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand new release of dies in the online store. It's our Spring Release with 22 new designs. Everything you need to create Spring, Easter, Birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thinking of you cards and so much more.

The Design Team has been showing samples using these new dies. So if you haven't seen them check back on the blog for lots of great ideas. The dies are currently on sale at 25% off so check all the new designs in the online store for some great selections. The Safari & Circus releases are still available at 25% off as well.

Now onto my card for today. I am featuring the new Spring Bicycle and I created a clean and simple outdoor scene. I will send this to a bicycle riding friend as an Easter card. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps:
I started my outdoor scene by stenciling some clouds with 2 shades of blue distress inks. I used a blending brush and peeled pain distress ink for the ground area. The colors I used are a little peek of what's coming for this week's Splitcoaststampers color challenge. 
Next, I started my die cutting. The Spring Bicycle is cut in a royal blue. I decided to add some tulips and a garden fence as well. The tulips and tree are from the Spring Bloom Cottage and the fence is from the Picket Fence Border die. 
I stamped my sentiment directly on the image panel using the same shade of blue ink as the bicycle and the card base. It's two separate stamps so I used my MISTI to line everything up. I attached the fence with glue dots and the tree + flowers with Ranger multi medium matte. I rolled up adhesive dots and attached to the bicycle image. I wanted it lifted off the background scene slightly.
 
To complete my card I attached to the royal blue card base. Scattered a few sequins and added  2 little bunnies. They are cut in a light gray cardstock from the Bunny Gnome 1 & Bunny Gnome 2 dies.  I attached them with dimensional adhesive.
Well, that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new Spring Bicycle die. Hope you are getting your Easter cards finished. There is still time to order from the store.  See you next Saturday!

May your day Bloom with Happiness!

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a slimline card for my design team post.  I created a cheerful scene with several of the new Springtime die sets.  These dies are currently on sale too!

I lightly inked a stencil to create a subtle look of brick in the background.  Next I created the Spring themed scene by adding die cuts from the Cat in Spring Window and Spring Bicycle at the focal point of my card.  I had to do a bit of creative fussy cutting and ink shading to give the bike a unique look.  The Bunny Tree Cottage die set added the oversized tree, the partial tree branch, the grass and mushrooms to the scene.  The fence pieces are from the Picket Fence Border die set which were trimmed down to fit on each side of my card.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Make a Wish

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I have card to share featuring the Wishing Well die from the Magical Garden die release from last year.  This die is so versatile that it can be used for a variety of special occasions.
For my card, I went with more of a rustic design and shaded the die cuts to follow the theme.  A couple of extra flowers were cut for extra embellishments.  I also cut out a piece of fence from the Picket Fence Border die.
The Tim Holtz Brick Pattern embossing folder was used to create the background.  I inked the background with 2 different colors of Oxide Inks to create some depth and dimension.
I began to build my card base by adding the picket fence along the bottom edge.  I trimmed the fence so it would frame the wishing well on each side.
The sentiment was adhered to the card base and a small bow in some jute twine was the final finishing touch on my card.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the shop:

Easter Pals

Hi!

It's Anja here. For today's card I made an Easter scene with these lovely friends.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Springtime Pals, Mr. Peter Rabbit, Miss Petunia Bunny, Picket Fence Border, Rustic Sign & Trees),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (12,5x17,5 cm),
- bristol paper for background (12x17 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- plastic stencil (clouds),
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all the animals.


Next I cut and colored the fence and the Easter eggs.


Then I decided to add a few trees for the background.


Then I trimmed bristol paper and painted the sky with the plastic stencil.


When I started putting all the pieces together I added a bit of color to the ground.


And my card was done.



I wish you all a nice Easter Sunday. Even though we can't spend it with all our family, we can still find a way to enjoy it.

Stay safe and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
