Small Cards for Different Occasions

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog today.
I hope you all had a wonderful and healthy Easter holidays.

I made four small cards for different occasions. It's always good to have some of these cards in stock.


- CottageCutz dies: Orchids, Thanks Phrase, Potted Cactus, Valentine Phrase & More, Oh No Kitty, Bear Patient, Sending Hugs Bear, Stitched Squares Set, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set
- blank cards: 4 x 4" (10,2 x 10,2 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3.5 x 3.5" (8,9 x 8,9 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape

I used some flowers, animals and expressions dies.
First, start by cutting out the main motives.





Then, cut four squares out of the patterned paper. Use the largest die of the set.
Also cut two white frames for each card and glue them together.
Paste all cutouts to the front of the cards.



Completed cards.


Thank you for stopping by.

Thanks, teacher

Hi, Janja is here with you.
For today, I made a card on which I used the Valentine hedgehog. Let’s see the hedgehog as a teacher.


- card base: 4.25 x 5.35" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 3,74 x 4,96" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- colored card stock
- ink pads
- white and black gel pen
- double-sided adhesive tape, foam tape, glue

First, stamp an alphabet on a black card stock. Then white embossed letters. Cut rectangles and a frame for the school board.


Cut out the hedgehog from a colored card stock. Color the edges with a brush and ink pads. Glue all pieces to each other.


Trim a piece of patterned paper and paste it onto the card front. 
Cut out a thanks phrase and a little owl.



Attach the hedgehog to the card front as shown using a dimensional tape. When everything is finished, darken the floor with a brush under the hedgehog and a bucket of paint.


I would like to invite you to the online store. The new Spring dies are on sale for 25% off.

Have a nice day.
Janja

Thank You, Doctor!

Hi, Lois here with my pre-Thanksgiving post.  Along with Thanksgiving comes Black Friday.  The Scrapping Cottage/CottageCutz is celebrating Black Friday with a new release of 12 Get Well-related dies.  They will be available at special pricing for the bundle.  The one I used for my card today is called Medical Bag.  It's not actually a "get-well" card, but rather a thank-you card you might send your doctor for a job well done.



To start my card I cut a piece of heavyweight white cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored it at 4 1/4".  In addition, I cut a piece of red cardstock 5 1/4" x 4 1/8" and a piece of black and white plaid patterned paper 4" x 5 1/8".



The reason I left only 1/8" difference in the layers on my card is because I wanted to cut a frame with the square wide-frame die, and I needed larger than normal base layers.  I also cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the frame and the "thanks" sentiment die.


I then  added strips of foam tape behind the frame.

Now I was ready to cut the pieces from the Medical Bag die.  I've embraced a "tool" that Janet introduced us to in one of her videos -- a fun foam sheet wrapped with Press 'n Seal.  This is marvelous to keep all those little die-cut pieces from getting lost.  Thanks, Janet!!!


I sponged a little bit of darker blue on the caduceus and constructed the doctor's bag and stethoscope.  As I was putting the stethoscope together, I realized that the largest circle should have been gray, not black.  So I cut another circle from the gray cardstock.  I then stamped the sentiment onto the white panel inside my frame.


All that was left now was to complete my card.  I glued the "thanks" at the top of the card and the completed frame below it . . . and I was done.


Be sure to check out the CottageCutz website on Black Friday.  Here's a video showing all the dies in the Get Well release.

Sunflowers

Hi, Janja here!

Tuesday is already here and my time for post on the Scrapping Cottage blog.
Beautiful sunflower heads are proudly displaying their beauty and invite our eyes to admire. This inflorescence composed of hundreds or thousands of tiny flowers simply deserve our admiration.

Today on a thank you card.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Thanks Phrase, Sunflowers, Wheat Stalks, Pilow Box Plus (ladybug)
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- kraft cardstock: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- watercolor paper
- Distress oxide pads: Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo
- Distress ink pads: Wild Honey, Vintage Photo, Twisted Citron
- ColorBox pigment ink pad Frost White
- stamp with handwriting for background
- glue

From watercolor paper cut out elements for sunflowers. Color them with Distress oxide pads. Sprinkle with water and shape with a flower shaping tool.




Cut out Thanks phrase, some wheat stalks and ladybug.
Trim kraft cardstock. Stamp on it handwriting with a white pigment ink pad. Nothing serious if we cannot evenly cover the entire background as the focus is on sunflowers. 


Use only the sunflower leaves. Cut off the stems with scissors. Glue each flower separately on the background and arrange them with leaves and wheat stalks. 
Finally glue Thanks phrase and attach a ladybug for luck on it.
