Partial Front Birthday Card

Happy Monday crafty friends!

Kris here with a super easy floral birthday card using Flower 1 and Flower 2 from the new  "Flowers & More" Release!  I do love the larger size of these flowers as they are super easy to color and assemble so this card came together very quickly!

The individual dies in this release are all 30% off!  ☺ They are FANTASTIC for birthdays, weddings, sympathy... you name it!  A great staple to have in your stash of dies!


This is an A2 top folding card, but with part of each side cut off the front for a li'l bit different look.


CUTTING & SCORING:

Yellow Cardstock = 4-1/4" x 11" 
- score at 5-1/2" (card base)
- Cut 1" off each side of the card front, just up to the score line. 

White Cardstock = 5-1/4" x 2" (inside panel) 
- die cut a circle using 4th largest Pierced Circle Set  

*Tip - this would look great using ovals instead of circles - I used what I had.

Coral Cardstock = die cut a scalloped circle using the 2nd largest from the Nested Stitched Scalloped Circle Set

Patterned Paper Green (center panel) = cut at 2" x 5-1/4"

Patterned Paper Floral (sides) = cut (2) that are 3/4" x 5-1/4"


DESIGN STEPS:

1.  Open your card and attach the 2 floral pieces to each side, leaving equal border all around.

2.  Stamp a sentiment if you wish on the white panel and attach to the center inside of card.


3.  Close card and attach your green patterned paper to the front center panel.

4.  Stamp on white circle if you wish and glue to the coral scalloped circle, then onto the center panel of card front. 


5. Die cut your flowers from white cardstock and add Distress inks with a blending brush.  (I used Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Abandoned Coral, and Candied Apple for the flowers, and I used Old Paper, Shutters, and Mowed Lawn for the stems/leaves.)  Assemble the pieces.  


6.  *Optional:  Next, I spattered some metallic gold paint (mixed with a tiny bit of water) for a shiny distress look.

7.  And attach to your center panel.  Embellish with enamel dots or gems if you wish, and done!


These make quick and pretty cards that are always nice to have on hand.

Halloween Treat Box and Card Set

Happy TuesDIE Cottage Cutz Friends!
Melinda here with you on this terrific Tuesday. Today I am sharing a fun and very easy card I created featuring dies that are part of the new Halloween Release.

Here's a look at my card and treat box. 


Here's a look at the card. It is a standard A4 Top Folding card. I started with a black cardstock base. I then adhered a purple mat and a yellow mat. I used the Spooky Kitties die to create the adorable kitties. The die includes the pumpkin, the bottle and the broom. I added a Web to the background. I mounted them onto a pierced circle and then mounted all of that onto a scalloped circle.

For the background I added a couple of cut webs for the top corners and then I added 


Here's a look at just the box. It was made to fit 5 little mini candy treats like the kind you get in the bulk bags. The little mini milky ways is what I used.

To create the box
For the base you start with 4.25 x 8.5
To create the box you need to score it along the 4.25 side at 1.25, 2, 3.25 and 4
for the 8.5 width you need to score it at .5 and 1.25 on each end.
Then you will need to cut it on both sides where I have the "X's" 

Here's a picture of what it looks like when you cut it on both ends.
Then you apply adhesive to the .25 piece and fold up to create the body of the box.

This is what it will look like when you have glued the two long ends together.
Then all you have to do is close the ends.

Here's a look at my black box and the mats. For the mats I just cut them an 1/8 of an inch smaller than the box sides. You will cut two at 1.125" x 5.825" and the other two are .625 x 5.825

Not pictured above is the little mat for the top of both flaps. You will need to cut two at 1.1/8 x 6.25
Of course the mats can be whatever size you like depending on how thick you want the borders to be.


Here's what the flaps on both ends will look like.


After I completed the body of the box, I used the cute Jack O Lantern Witch to create the cute little pumpkin lady. I added a little gathered tool to create a sort of tutu skirt for her. I then added some legs and decorated her. I mounted her onto a pierced circle mat cut from some cute yellow diagonal plaid patterned paper and then all of that onto a purple circle pierced mat and all of that onto another scalloped circle. I did this to kind of match the look of my card.

I then added the kitty, the tiny spider and web to the top. I added glitter and white gel pen lines to give it all a little extra decorative touch,

Here is one last look at both projects

Love Bandit

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today with throwback card featuring previously released dies. These Forest Peekers are always fun because there are so many ways and occasions to use them.
To start, I cut all the pieces from white card stock and used Copic markers to color them.  The marker colors are listed in the photos below.



When I was finished coloring, I assembled the main components.
Next, I stamped the sentiment on vanilla card stock and used the middle Nested Scallop circle die to cut it out.  I then sponged the edges with some Soft Suede ink and colored in the heart with the R29 marker.
I cut an A2 card base from vanilla card stock and two panels - one solid and one patterned.  These are each 1/8 inch smaller the previous one.
I stacked and adhered these together, then glued the images to the front of the card.
I used a white gel pen to add dots to the mushrooms.  The sentiment circle is popped off the card using foam dots.

I hope you enjoyed this card today.  The Forest Peekers are so much fun!  This set comes with a fox and racoon but there are several other dies with different animals if you have a favorite forest critter.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative weekend!

With "Mush" Love

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with a card for spring.  I love the new stitched dies.  And I fell deeply in love with the Stitched Mushrooms and the snail from the Stitched Garden Friends set as soon as I saw them.
I started by choosing the patterned paper so I could get my colors - Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Calypso Coral.  I cut the side fold A2 card base from the grey, a Pool Party Panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches and a panel from the pattern 4 x 5 1/4 inches.  I glued the patterned paper to the blue panel but did not glue them to the card base yet.
Next I die cut all the pieces from white, Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Calypso Coral. I used two mushrooms from Stitched Mushrooms, the snail from Stitched Garden Friends and the second largest circle from Nested Scalloped Circles. You may notice that a couple of pieces are missing from this photo.  That's because I sometimes "design-on-the-fly"; that is, I make decisions and change the design as I work.
I used a stamping platform to stamp my sentiment.  (I purchased a set of mushroom themed sentiments because a very good friend is a morel mushroom hunter - who knew such people existed?)  I placed everything in the platform, arranged my elements with sentiment on the circle, then carefully moved the elements and set a magnet in place.  I knew that the sentiment would now be in the correct place.
When the sentiment had been stamped I glued the mushrooms in place and added the snail with foam dots.  I then started to arrange it on the card with a piece of ribbon cut slightly longer than 5 1/2 inches.
However, I felt the main image didn't "pop" enough.  Here is my "design-on-the-fly"; I decided to add another element under the white scalloped circle.  I found the next size up scallop circle was too large but the second largest circle from the Double Stitched Circles worked perfectly!  Since my ribbon is coral, I made the circle blue.  I folded the ribbon behind my panel and glued it, then adhered the panel to the card front using foam tape to add dimension.
I glued the scalloped circle to the blue circle and adhered it with foam dots to the front of the card.  My second "design-on-the-fly" element is this cute button.  I was going to use a real button even though the color wasn't a perfect match, when I noticed that I had also cut a button (normally for the flower center) from the Stitched Garden Friends set when I cut my snail shell.  It worked perfectly!  Just the right color and size!
