Love You, Mom



 
Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Wednesday edition of the Blog. Today for your viewing pleasure, I have created a little garden scene as a Mother's Day card. We will be celebrating Mother's Day here in the US on Sunday, May 8. It's just under 3 weeks away so time to get busy creating a card for Mom, Grandma, Daughter or someone special.
 
Here are some details on how I created this card:
 
The main die is the spring tree frame and I cut it in white card stock.  Using sponge daubers and distress inks I colored the tree, leaves, birdhouse, bird and tulips. The die cut measures 3 3/4" x 5". I set that aside to work on the background.
 
 
Background: I cut white card stock 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and used a stencil to sponge in the sun rays.
 
Then I lightly sponged in a soft blue background and adhered this to my spring tree frame. 
 
I then applied versamark ink and clear embossing powder and heat set. It gives a nice shine to the trees and leaves.
 
 
 
To highlight the scene I added a frame around cut in the deep purple shade and attached it to the spring tree frame with glue dots. The outside measurements are 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". The inside measurements are 3 3/8" x 4 5/8".
 
 
I used the parlor set and cut in a deep purple shade to set in the middle of my garden scene. The vase on the table is from the Mushroom & Flowers dies. It's the base for the smaller mushroom. Just another way to get more mileage out of your dies. I cut it in a chocolate card stock.
 
The flower in the vase is cut from the butterfly with flowers die. I cut it once in green cardstock then again in pink. I paper pieced the pink flower over the green and placed it in my vase.
 
Once the scene was created I attached it to a white card base measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I used mounting tape to pop it up on the white base.
 
To complete my card I stamped my sentiment and cut it out using the circle set and the stitched circle set. Attached to the side of my frame for a little interest.
  
 
Also, did you know that we are having a challenge for our fans and followers to display the cards you have made with CottageCutz dies? There are prizes to be won as well. Click here for all the details and the linky to submit your entry.
 
Well, my friends that's it for me for today. So until time....... inky hugs.

Flower Thanks

 
Hello CottageCutz Fans! Thanks for taking the time to visit with The Scrapping Cottage Blog. It's Mary Marsh here with the Wednesday edition of the blog.

For my card this week, I have created a thank you card with several different dies from CottageCutz. My idea was to create a leaf frame with a flower surrounding it. So let's get started with the details of how this card is put together.



 
I started off my card with some background stenciling. I chose a diamond patterned stencil and some light green ink. Using a sponge dauber I sponged the pattern  onto my cardstock going both darker and lighter.


My next step was to create my leaf frame. I did that with the Cottage Cutz Square Set Dies. I used the 3rd and 4th largest dies for my frame. Ran them through my die-cutting machine and the next photo shows the frame that I ended up with.

 
The open frame is what I used for my card. The smaller square I will use on another project.
 
At this point, I die cut my flower with purple cardstock using the Cottage Cutz 3D Flower #3. The leaves with a light and dark green cardstock using the Cottage Cutz Strawberry Petites die. I layered the leaves around my frame and assembled my flower. My thanks word is from the Cottage Cutz Thanks Die and I cut in the same purple cardstock. I cut it twice and layered for more dimension.
 
Also, to give my flower more dimension, I used foam squares between each layer. This next photo gives a close up view of the flower.
 
 
To complete my card I added a butterfly cut in light pink from the Cottage Cutz Butterfly with Flowers Die and then scattered some candy dots in light pink for added interest. That's it for me for this edition. So until next time........inky hugs!

Card Stock sizes:
Purple Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Green Layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Stenciled Layer: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Butterflies card



  Today I am sharing with you my new Butterflies card I created with beautiful  

CottageCutz Collection of dies.

 
For this card I used 3 dies: Fancy Floral Background, Filigree Butterfly Trio and Butterfly with flowers.



 First, I created background using "Fancy Floral Background". I cut Floral background out using Sizzix machine. Then, I cut this whole piece of background with scissors on half. One half of background I keep for other project and another one, I used for this card. Just glued background on embossed blue base card and added 3 butterflies. All 3 butterflies I, also, cut out using cream cardstock. I forgot about ribbon. Yes, I added two colors of ribbon on this card and cute bow in the middle of ribbons. Decorate card with yellow rhinestones.

 
 For this project I used:
