Memories

Hi, Janja here!

I think it is a good time to show you the card, that I created some time ago. At the bottom I added the word - memories from the new Expressions Plus release.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Memories Phrase, Wildflowers 1, Wildflowers 4, Wildflowers 5, Lighthouse w/Clouds (seagulls), Under the Sea (rocks)
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- watercolor paper: 4.2 x 4.2" (10,7 x 10,7 cm)
- white and dark gray cardstock
- Distress inks: Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo, Broken China, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Hickory Smoke
- Memento ink Dandelion

To begin, cut out wildflowers, rocks and seagulls with dies. Use white and dark gray cardstock for wildflowers.
Also cut out word memories from white cardstock.



Distress white cutouts with Distress inks. Glue them together with gray cutouts, so that they are partially overlapped. Apply white and yellow pearl dots.


Draw the sea and the sky on the watercolor paper with Distress inks. Once the paper is dry, trim it to the correct size.


To complete the card, mount all the elements as shown on white card base with a wooden embossed finish.

Prayers

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Fans!

It is Pam sharing with you today. And I really excited to show you our new release Expressions Plus Dies!  Here is my Design Teammate to show you how wonderful these dies are!!
We gave you a small sample in the video of the 35 dies so I am including a picture of all the new release dies!

Now onto my design for today!  I am featuring one of the new word dies prayers mixed with the flower and stems dies!  This card is going to someone who is need of some support and cheer.


Here are my design steps:

1.  Using Wildflowers 1Wildflowers 2Wildflowers 5 and Garden Stems cut all of them out in white card stock
2.  Using dabbers ink the flowers and leaves with green, red and orange
3.  Cut out a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of white card stock and embossed with a musical notes embossing folder
4.  Use white card stock as your A2 base.  Cut out a piece of green card stock 5 1/4 x 4 and glue to the A2 white base.  Glue the note embossed white card stock to the green

5.  Glue all of the flowers down as shown
6. Cut out a 2 x 4 inch piece of vellum and gently tear the edges.  Attach to card front as shown the on white card stock cut out the word prayers.  Glue prayers to the vellum and add the pearls

This card is beautiful and easy!  It will bring cheer to someone who needs to have their spirits lifted!

Here are the Cottage Cutz Products used:

Wildflower Sympathy

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

We have some fabulous new Spring dies in the store. Today for your viewing pleasure I am featuring some of the new Wildflowers dies. I have used Wildflowers 1 and Wildflowers 3 on my card for today.

Let's get started on how I created this card.

Mint Green Card Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Navy Layering Panel: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
Patterned Paper Panel: 5 1/4" x 4"

I wanted to use these beautiful wildflower dies to create a sympathy card. My choice of colors today came from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #622. When I was looking through my cardstock, I found these A2 card bases in my stash that had a watercolor wash. It was perfect for my card idea.

So all I did was cut the A2 card to the size panel that I needed. The card had the watercolor design on the front and back of the base. So now I have another panel to create a 2nd card. I matched it up with a mint green and navy blue panels.
Even though I was creating a sympathy card, I still wanted a splash of color for the flowers. I used the watermelon color for the wildflowers. I thought that would look good against the mint and dark blue of the card front.
 
I stamped my sympathy sentiment on the image panel in navy ink before I assembled my card. I then assembled the panels with double sided tape. I didn't add my die cut images because I didn't want the flowers to interfere with the layering. Sometimes it can through off your eyeballing of getting the layers straight.
 
 
My next step was to add my wildflowers, butterfly and scatter a few sequins to finish off this card. I like to have a sympathy card or 2 in my stash for when the occasion arises. It's easier for me to create a sympathy card when you don't need one. Below is a photo with a close-up view of the dies. You can always click on it to get a larger view.
 
 Well that's it for me for today. Thanks for dropping by today and leaving your comments. I read them all. Until next time.........
 
Variation of card. On this one I used navy blue enamel dots and a dragonfly.

Flowers of 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.

We have some fabulous new Spring dies released over at the online store. Today for your viewing pleasure I am featuring Wildflowers 1, Wildflowers 2 and Wildflowers 3 dies. So let's get started on how I created my card.

Navy Blue Card Base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Patterned Paper Panel: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
Navy Blue Rectangle Panel: 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (2nd largest of rectangle dies)

My choice of colors for my card today came from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #622. Those colors are mint, watermelon and navy blue. And then I chose my background navy patterned paper. From there I decided on a card layout and cut the necessary pieces.

The circles are from the CottageCutz circle and stitched circle dies. Both are the 4th largest dies in the sets. The navy blue rectangle is from the 2nd largest rectangle die in this set.
I cut the wildflowers in the watermelon shade of the color challenge. And the dragonfly in the mint shade also from the challenge. When I started the assembling of my card, I decided to use the Wildflowers 3 die and eliminate the 2 die cuts from Wildflowers 1.
I decided to add a mint strip across my card and top that with some navy blue ribbon. I also stamped my sentiment on the white circle in navy ink. I used an embossing folder to add some texture to the mint panel.
I was now ready to start the assembly of my card. On the large panels I used double sided tape. On the wildflowers I used Ranger multi-matte medium. The wildflower dies have great detail as you can see in this close up photo. On the sentiment circle I also added some watermelon circles.
 
Well that's it for me for this week. I hope I have given you an additional idea on how to use the Wildflower dies. I will be posting again on Wednesday with another idea for using the Wildflowers.  So until then..........
