Garden Bicycle

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

It's new release time!!! We have our annual Black Friday release available now in the online store. There are 19 different designs, and they can be used for all seasons. The dies are broken into 2 different bundles with bundle pricing under $78. Bundle pricing is only available through Friday, December 1. Or you can pick up the individual dies for 30% off.

We also have our Christmas 2023 release in the online store that has 40 designs. It's an old-fashioned Christmas theme. You can pick up the individual dies at 30% off for a limited time.

For today's card, I am featuring the new Garden Bicycle die. I made this card for a friend who moved to the Pittsburgh area this summer.  

It's been an adjustment for her, but she has been slowly finding her way around and starting to feel like she belongs. She is an avid bike rider and spent a lot of time on our dedicated trails that meander through wooded areas as well as along our rivers. So, I thought she would like this special card. 

Design Steps:

I started my card with a sketch that I had saved on one of my Pinterest boards. It's an older one but I thought it would work well to showcase the garden bicycle and the addition of the ribbon and the punched daisy edge makes it a bit more feminine. 
I cut my bicycle in colors that coordinated with my designer paper and that look like her bike. Just to make it a bit more special. 
  
For my background papers I used 2 different patterns of designer papers. The pink dotted paper (1 7/8" x 5 1/4") is from the Stampin' Up "pop of pink specialty paper" and it's layered on melon mambo cardstock (2" x 5 3/8"), the flowered paper (2 1/8" x 5 1/4") is from the "cheerful treat" collection" and it's layered on lucky limeade cardstock (2 1/4" x 5 3/8").  
Next, I added a bow with a lucky limeade brad center and a daisy edge cut from a Martha Stewart punch.
I stamped my sentiment in gray ink on a white rectangle panel. I used the 3rd largest die (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") from the Pierced Rectangle Set
I layered the sentiment panel on a melon mambo panel. I used the 2nd largest die from the Rectangle Set (2 5/8" x 3 5/8"). Attached my bicycle with clear drying glue.
To finish off my card, I attached the image panel with dimensional adhesive and added a few melon mambo enamel dots. 
That's it for me for this week. See you again next Saturday.

Happiness is Homemade

Hello Friends 

It is Pam sharing with you today!

It is time to show off our new RELEASE!  It is called Christmas 2023 just in time for you to get started on making all those wonderful holiday cards and scrapbooks! 

To display one of these sweet new dies I designed a block easel card.  The card features the Holiday Gnome Baker.


Design Steps:

1.  Start with a piece of heavy white card stock measuring 11 x 4 1/4.  Lay the 11 inch side on the score board and score at 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3, 5 1/2 and 8 1/4
2.  Use a bone folder and press along all the score lines.  Roll the box along the 3/4 inch lines at the bottom of the easel.  Then place glue on the bottom flap of the little box
3.  Your card will look like the picture above after glued
4.  Fold the base to form a little tent like the picture above and set aside
5.  Cut a piece of white card stock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  This will serve as the easel front set aside
6.  Use the Holiday Gnome Baker and cut out the following colors: light brown checked DP, red polka dot DP, brown checked DP, blue checked DP, white, green and silver.  Assemble with a fine tip glue
7.  For the base and easel piece cut: 2 checked blue strips 5/8 x 4 1/8, 2 DP ginger bread strips 1/2 x 4, Red checked DP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, using the second from the largest Scalloped Stitched Rectangle and cut out a brown check rectangle, use the third from the largest Pierced Rectangle and cut out a checked blue rectangle
8.  On the top and front of the box glue the glue strip and then add the red strip as shown
9.  To decorate the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of white that will be the easel front glue down the red DP and then add the brown scalloped rectangle slightly off center.  Next glue down the pierced blue retangle as shown above
10.  Add the gnome and your sentiment.  I also added a little banner with some hearts and glossy dots to the right of the gnome
11. To attach the decorated easel front add glue to the folded flap and then attach the easel panel.  Your card is complete
12.  This card does fit into an A2 size envelope

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Blessings and Take Care

Halloween Treat Box!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

We have a brand new release just in time for all of those amazing Halloween cards everyone makes!! The collection has 22 fabulous dies that are going to make those scrapbook layouts and cards look SPOOKTACULAR!!!  The dies are currently on sale so make sure you get them while they last at this special introductory offer!!

Today, I am using the Witchy Ghost.  It sits perfectly on top of the tiny treat box.  I also used the Web and a spider from the Jack-O-Lanter Witch.  I think this cute little box will be perfect for a teacher's gift or some special Trick or Treaters!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut a piece of orange card stock 9 1/4 x 4 1/2 and then score

2.  Horizontal 5/8, 4 3/8,  5,  8 3/4
3.  Vertically 5/8, 3 3/8, 4
4.  Use a bone folder and burnish the score lines then open flat with the two score lines horizontally on the top of your work area
5.  Cut the tabs on the bottom of the orange card stock as shown above
6. Then flip the orange card stock so that the 2 horizontal score lines are now at the bottom of your work area as shown above  

7.  Cut the bottom of the orange card stock to match the picture above 
8. Flip the box over so the double scored longest flap is now at the top of the work space.  The longest flap is the part that will close the box so round those corners
9.  Glue two pieces of DP each measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 to the box as shown above
10.  Cut a notch on the side that does not have the flap that closes the box.  I used the second to the smallest from the Circle dies.  As shown above
11.  On the opposite side of the notch cut you will cut the window of the candy box with the 3rd from the smallest Pierced Retangle dies.  As shown above
12.  Flip the orange piece over and tape the acetate to the back of the window
13.  Assemble the box using glue or a strong double sided tape making sure you do not glue the flap that opens and closes the box

14.  Place the candy in the box.  You can use any kind of candy you wish
15.  Use the Witchy Ghost die, the Web die and the Jack-O-Lantern Witch die (for the spider) to cut out the pieces in the following colors of card stock: white, yellow, orange, purple,  green, gray and black.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip quick drying glue.  Glue the pieces to the front of the box as shown below then add the sentiment and your little treat box is finished
