Just a Note

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this sweet card for my design team post.  I had the chance to play with this typewriter die which is absolutely adorable.  I can think of so many different uses for this die.
I die cut the Typewriter, Sweet Love Border and the Stitched Wide Circle Frame.  The "sweet" sentiment was cut twice and layered for some dimension.  
I found the most perfect papers in my stash stash.  I decided to offset the circle frame for better placement on my card.
The heart border was adhered along the bottom edge of my card.  The hearts remind me of a scribble style pattern.  The typewriter fit perfectly inside the circle.
A sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) "The Charmed Life" stamp set was anchored above the border on a hand cut flag.
The finishing accent on my card was a cluster of paper flowers.  A few bling stickers adorned the flower centers.
Here are the dies used on my card, available in the store:

Typewriter Love


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. It's a cold Saturday here in the Eastern part of the U.S. One of those days to sip some hot chocolate and do some crafting.

I am featuring one of our new Valentine dies today. This one is the Typewriter die and is currently on sale at 25% off. In fact all 14 new Valentine dies are 25% off. So drop over to the store and pick out what you need to make your Valentine cards and save a little money while your at it!

I jump started my mojo this week by using a sketch to get my creative juices flowing. So here are the details on how I created my card.

Blue Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Embossed Layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Image Panel: 3 3/8" x 2 3/4"
Red Layering Panel: 3 1/2" x 2 7/8"

The sketch that I followed is an older one but it worked perfectly to show my image off.
I decided to emboss my background panel but didn't want to use a heart embossing folder. So I settled for an arrows folder. I thought it added a unique appeal to my card.
Next step was to cut the elements of the typewriter die. I cut this vintage image in a coastal blue cardstock. I love the modern appeal the typewriter has using this shade of blue. The accents are in gray. The little heart on the keyboard is so sweet. This is just the cutest die. I am sure all of you have someone in mind that this image would perfect for this Valentine's day.
I cut three pennant flags with a red dotted paper. Scattered some additional red hearts to balance out the image panel. I cut these from the Love Bird Branch die. After I assembled my card I decided I didn't like the "sweet" word cut in pink. Not a problem. I cut another one in red and glued it over top. Here are some close up photos. You can see the detail on this die.
 
That completes my card for this week. I hope I have inspired you to start your Valentine cards. And, remember The Scrapping Cottage is making it a bit easier by offering a 25% off sale on the new dies.
 
So until next time..........inky hugs!!!!

Valentines, Part 1

Hi, Janja here!

I wish you all a happy new year full of joy, and creativity.

In the next three posts, I'll share with you a few simple cards created by new CottageCutz dies - Valentines. These dies will be available in store in the next few days.
Motives that are cut out with these dies are very cute, and they speak for themselves.
Let us show someone that we love. Such small attentions are never too much.
To warm up a little, today I will show you two cards from Valentine's series, that I have created.


Supplies:
- white card base: 4.1 x 5.4" (10,5 x 13,7 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3.7 x 5" (9,5 x 12,7 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress ink: Worn Lipstick, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Hickory Smoke
- glue
- double-sided adhesive tape
- adhesive foam pads

Prepare two card bases from white cardstock for both cards. On one card base cut out corners with corner punch. Trim patterned papers, and cut out with dies all the elements that will be placed on cards.

CottageCutz dies: typewriter, love postage, sweet love borders.



 Assemble the card as on photo.



CottageCutz dies: telephone, love hearts, rounded square set (7th die from the middle of a set), rounded rectangle set (the largest die from the set).


Cut out polaroid photo frame. 




Completed card. 



Thank you for coming over and have a nice day.
