Corner Cottage

Hello bloggers!  This post belongs to the Corner Cottage.  This set has twelve dies in it, including the cottage, three different sized trees, various windows, a bush, a chimney stack and several extra roof areas.  I love that it is a different angle but gives the cottage so much character.  If this one floats your boat, then don't forget to leave a comment on this post.  We have come to the end of day one, but I will be right back here tomorrow morning with another day of new dies to share with you!  All for now, Sue x

Just Because

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card with a piece of white card.  I used the ball of yarn stamp from the Pet Pal Stamp set and randomly stamped it all over the edges of the card.   I used a clear perfect medium pad and then embossed the stamped images with white detail embossing powder.  I used Spun Sugar distress ink and sponged it around the edges of the stamped card.  I used the Double Stitched Squares and made a thin white frame.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it to a piece of pink and white striped paper from the Dots 'N Stipes Paper pad.  I cut Pet Pal Bella  in white.  I used a fine tipped marker to add the face details and cut an envelope in white and added a pink heart and put it in her mouth.  I added a pink rose and leaves to her tail and cut the kitty bowl in pink and added it next to her in the frame.  I cut the Just Because sentiment out of powder pink and black, shadowed it then added it to a small backing piece which I cut from the Double Stitched Rectangles.  I inked it lightly and added some pink hearts around the sentiment for accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.

Happy Birthday

Hello crafters!  I started this card by cutting the Floral Symphony Cover Plate twice with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the embossed white card and coloured the images to match using alcohol ink markers.  Once coloured, I glued the black die cuts over the white coloured pieces.  Using my scissors, I cut away the solid areas next to the flowers on both of them.  I added mounting foam to the backs of both pieces, then added them to a larger piece of white card.  I left an open area for the sentiment between them.  I cut the Birthday Stacked Shadowed sentiment in black and glued it to the middle of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8" in size.

May Your Days Be Merry & Bright

Good Sunday morning all!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  I taped it to a larger piece of white card where I used a scoreboard to add lines to the bottom piece of card.  I added a thin piece of black card across the join area.  Using the Stylish Poinsettia set, I cut a small poinsettia out of white card then glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and added it to the left side at the join area.  I selected a pixied piece from my background stash that I created using Aqua Lagoon Pixie Powder.  I cut the Pinwheel Snowflake die out of it, then added the middle die from the set cut in white card.  I cut the smallest die out of the same pixied card and layered the pieces together and added them to the top part of the background.  I cut the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright sentiment out of the same pixied card and added it to a white shadow backing piece.  I attached the sentiment to the bottom of the card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size.

Season's Greetings

Hello bloggers!  I started with a piece of white card.  I used the Brick Wall Mask and inked through it with Weathered Wood Distress ink.  I dded a piece of white vellum over it to soften the look.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles to make a multi-layered frame.  I cut a white frame first then added a black gloss frame to the top of it.  I added it with mounting foam over the background.  I cut the door from the Yuletide Welcome die  set out of black gloss card.  I backed it in white and added a green wreath with a red bow.  I cut two of the toy soldiers and coloured them and added them to either side of the door.  I cut two of the wall lamps and added them above the toy soldiers.  Using the pine sprig, I cut five of them in green.  I glued them across the top of the frame and added red bows to each section.  I cut the Season's Greeting sentiment in red and added it to a white shadow backing piece.  The sentiment was added to the bottom of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.

Just Because

Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected the Heart To Heart embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card.  I used a smoothie and inked the top of it lightly with Spun Sugar Distress ink.  Using the Clipped Corner Rectangles, I cut a frame out of Raspberry card.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached it to a piece of white card.  I added it to the middle of the background with mounting foam.  I cut Pet Pal Bailey out of tan card and used a fine tipped felt pen to add the face and body detail.  I cut the snout and added it to the face.  I added a bow tie out of raspberry and a small flower.  I cut a white envelope and added a small pink heart and added it to his paw.  Three raspberry hearts were added to the top part of the frame as accents.  I cut the Just Because sentiment out of raspberry card and glued it to a white shadow backing piece.  I attached it below the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and raspberry mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are  7 1/2"  x  9"  in size.

Eat, Drink & Be Scary

Happy Halloween all!  For my final Halloween card, I started by selecting a piece of pixied card from my background stash.  I used Aqua Lagoon and Emerald Green Pixie Powders on it, then covered it with a piece of cling film and allowed it to dry thoroughly.  I cut a wide white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles and added it with mounting foam over the background.  I cut a large circle out of white gloss card and glued it to the background.  I cut the Grim Reaper out of black gloss card and added him with mounting foam on front of the moon.  I used the Jack-O-Lantern die and cut an assortment of the pumpkins with different faces out of black card.  I added all the pumpkins around the frame.  I cut the Eat, Drink & Be Scary sentiment out of both black and white card.  I used the white as the offset shadow behind the black die cut then glued it to the upper corner inside the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2" in size.
