Cartridge Showcase: Country Life

Welcome to our Monday cartridge showcase.  We have a wonderful showcase for you. This week we are featuring projects from Country Life.

The Country Life cartridge features Two layers, banner, font phrase, and shadow tabs. It is full of great cuts and useful for many occasions.

Jen's Blog

Jen's first project is perfect for this time of year.  Nothing like fresh strawberries right out of the garden. YUM!!!

Jen made this cute strawberry shaped card by welding 2 strawberries together.  To add texture and dimension, she added these cute ribbons topped with a red button and twine.  This is so adorable.  Now, just take a look at the inside of the card. Jen could not have added a better sentiment!  So cute and so perfect!!

Jen's next project is a wonderful framed project.  She is making a set of these.  

The pretty background lattice frame is cut from the French Manor cartridge.  Jen topped it with the pretty corn. And again,  I'm thinking fresh from the garden.  There is nothing better than Silver Queen Corn.  And Jen has certainly captured it here.  

Jen used some embroidery thread for the cornsilk.  Just perfect.  

Now for one of the happiest cards ever!

This 5x7 sunshine card makes me want to start singing!! Great cuts and wonderful papers.  Thanks Jen for this awesome showcase.  You can visit Jen's blog. HERE.

Charlotte's Blog

Charlotte's first project is a Thinking Of You card that can be used for many occasions.

The cat in the chair is from the Country Life cartridge.  The little bowl of milk is from the Meow cartridge.  A little Ric Rac was added for some texture.  And the sentiment was computer generated.

This next card is all about apples and what you can do with them.

The apple tree and sentiment are from the Country Life cartridge.  The border was done with an EK Success border punch.  

The apple, pie, and rolling pin are also from Country Life.  The tablecloth was made with an EK Success border punch.

Here is another card using the same apple.  

Don't you just love to see cuts used in different ways.  For dimension, three little buttons were added.

This pumpkin pie is a favorite cut from Country Life.  The fall colored papers and pretty bow make this a perfect card for Thanksgiving.  

Another card using the pie cut.  The buttons were added to bring out the colors of the ribbon.  

This carrot cake birthday card was made using the carrots from Country Life.  The rabbit is from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge and the cake is from Sweet Treats.

Rose Card Details

Good morning crafty friends,

Hope your Weekend is off to a great crafty start! I am sharing the details on how I created my Rose card with you today. I created this card for this week’s Digi Desserts Fridaze post.

Here is a look at my finished card.

I started with these dies. They are all by Spellbinders.

I cut out two of the frame dies and then lined them up.

I cut a piece of paper to back the frames and adhered it to the backs and trimmed the corners.

This is what the finished frame looks like.

I then took the little medallion die and cut off one edge on each corner of the face of the card. Doing this created a faux photo corner.

Here is what the front of the card base looked like. I added some pearl gems.

I used my Copic markers to color my image. This is a digital stamp from PaperCraftingWorld.com called The Rose Bundle DS

Here is a quick step by step coloring guide

  Please ignore the big rose in the bottom center. I got the bright idea to take photos of the coloring process AFTER I had been working on that rose

I started by coloring the roses in with my R32 marker. I left some of the tips white.

Next, I went back over with my R35. I used this color more towards the center of the flower petals.

Third step: I added in my R37. Once again I started by adding it to the center of the flowers. I was trying to create “depth” by coloring it this way.

After going back over the red parts with my R32 and R35 to “blend” the colors, I next colored the leaves in with my G02 green as pictured.

Next, I added G05 towards the centers and bottoms to give the leaves depth.

My third color green was G07. Once again I colored more towards the enter and along the “veins” to give a strong contrast.

Finally I added in my YG05 to give the leaves a yellow green highlights. I did go back over and try to blend with the various colors. I also used my C4 to add just an extra touch of depth to some of the areas on the roses that would naturally be more shaded.

I cut my image out and added some foam tape to give them some dimension.

I cut out the Renaissance Hearts Die medallion and then adhered it to some of the same DCWV patterned paper. I then trimmed around it to create a border of the medallion.

Once I did that, I adhered the finished rose digi to the center.

Finally, I placed some foam tape under the rose-medallion combo and then added that to the base of the front of the card….and finished!

Here is one last look at the finished card.

I used the following products to completed this projects

DCWV Stack: Fresh Floral Stack	PaperCraftingWorld.com Rose Bundle Digital Printable
Spellbinders Classic Frame-Frameabilities Die	Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants - Renaissance Heart

Foam Tape

Copic Markers: R32, R35, R37, C4, YG05, G02, G05, G07
