Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I have a card for you today that features the Cottage Cutz Woodland Pine Trees Dies and Cottage Cutz Deer Die. I created the card in response to today’s “Ways To Use It Challenge”, WT599, on Splitcoaststampers website. The hostess for the challenge is the very talented Lisa (Shoe Girl), and she gave us an easy challenge. She asked that we create a HELLO card.
To create the card, I cut out the Cottage Cutz Woodland Pine Trees and covered them with FlitterGlu (i.e., a glue for gilding flakes and glitter), to which I added Cosmic Shimmer Mulled Wine Gilding Flakes. Using a piece of Scoochy Foam, I rubbed the excess flakes from the trees. This photo shows the aftereffects.
Next, I cut a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Solar White card stock and sponged a sunset scene using Stampin’ Up! orange and green inks. Then, I cut out two hills with the Lawn Fawn Borders Dies. I sponged Stampin’ Up! Always Artichoke ink onto the two pieces and adhered them together with foam tape. Using foam tape, I attached the hills to the sunset piece of card stock.
I used the Cottage Cutz Deer Dies to cut out the deer from Solar White Card Stock. I used Copic Sketch Markers to color them and the antlers. I then strategically added the trees and deer to the card.
I love the outcome of the card, and I hope you are inspired by it.

The Lord appears to Solomon: “When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, the Lord appeared to him at night and said: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices….if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”” 2 Chronicles 7:11-12 & 14.
