Banjo Playing Birthday Bear!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

 I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year filled with good health and many blessings!  

I have a birthday in January.  And he is a very special great nephew!  He will be turning 5 so I am making him this fun and festive card using the Campin Out Bear w/Banjo.  The Camping release can be used for a variety of different cards especially with all of those adorable critters.

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Campin Bear w/Banjo and cut out the pieces using dark brown, brown, tan, yellow, mint green,  and black

2.  Shade and assemble the pieces with a fine tip clear drying glue.  For the cup cake I used Pastry Goodies cut out of mint green and red

3.  Use a yellow A2 card base, 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Party Hat Dp and a Piece of Music Happy Birthday DP cut 2 3/4 x 4.  I also used a piece of yellow grosgrain ribbon

4.  Glue the Music DP to the bottom of the Party Hat DP.  Add the ribbon to the top of the music paper by taping it to the back.  Then glue the Party Hat panel to the yellow card base

5.  Using the Expressions Happy and Birthday cut them out of red

6.  Place pop dots on the back of the bear and the tree stomp and add them to the front of the card.  Glue the Happy Birthday to the bottom half of the card.  I added a little sparkle to the Happy Birthday and the icing on the cup cake with my Wink of Stella.  Your card is complete

Sweet Treats

Hi!

This is Anja. Today I have another scene for you. This is the type of cards I like to make the most. I used colored paper this time. This bunnies are so cute and you can give them different props. I used sweet treats this time.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Easter Bunny & Chicks, Spring Meadow, Pastry Goodies, Retro Alphabet),
- Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Stormy Sky, Barn Door, Peeled Paint) and Oxides (Broken China),
- white card base (21 x 10 cm),
- brown card stock for die cuts and background (20,7 x 9,7 cm),
- green and white card stock for die cuts,
- patterned paper for background (20,4 x 9,4 cm),
- black pen,
- white pen,
- Wink of Stella glitter pen,
- white pigment ink,
- clouds stencil,
- paper glue.

First I die cut and colored the pie and the muffin. I used brown and white card stock.

Then I made the bunnies. I also used brown card stock. I made the eyes with black and white pen.

Then I cut the letters. I really like this new retro die. I colored the edges with Distress ink.

I cut the grass next. I used green card stock and Peeled paint for the edges.

Then I made the background. I used brown card stock and colored the edges.

I also used patterned paper and decorated it with clouds. I used a stencil and white pigment ink.

I glued patterned paper over the brown background and then added bunnies, grass and pastry. I used Wink of Stella glitter pen to add some interest.

And this is my finished card.

I wish you all a nice Sunday. I'm gonna craft a bit and watch some sports while doing it.

See you again next week.

Anja Z.
