To My Love

Hi, Janja here!

This is my first post in the new year. Let's start with love.
I prepared two Valentines cards, and combined on them several dies from various releases.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Baby Dolls, Baby Doll Girl Clothes, Love Postage, Love Bow & Arrow, English Rose Corner, Square Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Square Set
- red card base: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,7 x 13,9 cm)
- white scalloped edge card base: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white card stock: 3.74 x 5" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- red card stock: 4 x 4" (10 x 10 cm)
- wite and colored card stock
- self adhesive pads, double-sided adhesive tape
- Distress ink pad - Tattered Rose
- Memento ink pad - London Fog

Prepare a red card base, and stamp an inscription on a white card stock.


Cut the word love and a couple of hearts.


With two dies cut all the pieces we need to form a girl. Use socks for the shoes, and shorten them with scissors.
When assembling, slightly change the position of arms and legs.


Spray gray dots on a white card stock, and fasten a girl with self-adhesive pads. For more depth, add a gray color with a makeup brush. These brushes are very useful for such things, especially if the subject is slightly raised from the substrate.


Completed card.



The second card is made with English Rose Corner die. Cut three times. On the backside of a white piece attach adhesive tape, and insert an individual pieces.


From a white card stock cut a square and a frame with the largest die from both sets. Add an inscription.


Complete the card.


Enjoy and have fun while creating.

Hello Twins

Hi!

It's Anja here. Because I'm still waiting for my Halloween dies to arrive, I made a different themed card today. I bought some new skin toned Zig markers a few weeks ago and I gave them a try today. I figures Baby Doll dies are perfect for that. And that is why I made a baby card, this time to welcome twin baby boys.


For my card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Baby Dolls, Hello Phrase),
- Zig markers (Blush, Tea Rose),
- Distress Oxides (Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Broken China),
- white card base (21x10 cm),
- white watercolor paper for die cuts and background (20,6x9,6 cm),
- alphabet stamp,
- VersaFine Onyx black ink pad,
- black pen,
- watercolor brush,
- baby wipes,
- stamping platform.

First I die cut all two baby boys figures from watercolor paper. I colored them with Zig markers and watercolor brush.


 Hair and diapers are colored with Distress Oxides. I glued all body parts together.


Then I made the background. I used baby wipes and Distress Oxides to color the edges. I colored the phrase hello the same way.


I used stamping platform to stamp the word "twins". I used black ink.

 

And then I just glued everything together. It would be fun to make a girl card too :)

 




Have fun and enjoy your Sunday.

Baby Dolls

Hi, Janja here!

Today one birthday card for all the girls who like to play with dolls.



Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Baby Dolls, Baby Doll Girl Clothes, Double-Stitched Rectangle set, Rectangle set
- white scalloped card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress inks: Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke, Mowed Lawn

Cut out all the pieces that we need to put together four dolls. Distress the edges with Distress inks and assemble the dolls.



Now it's time for the most fun part - cutting out the clothes. This is the opportunity to use the remains of papers. 


I was so excited, that I cut out clothes for entire wardrobe :). 


Trim bright patterned paper two times. On the lower part create the lawn with a stencil and texture paste. Color it with the green Distress ink. Leave white the second sheet of paper. 
Cut out two rectangles with the largest die of both sets, and glue them together. Stamp two various sentiments. 


Place both patterned paper with adhesive tape on the card base. In the inside of the card add a larger rectangle and attach on it two little dolls.


Assemble the same front side of the card.

For more fun, we can finally add one or two dolls, and a variety of clothes. The girls can later dress up dolls themselves. 


 I hope you like it. Thank you for coming over and have a great day.

Mother's Day Cards

Hi!

It's Anja here. Mother's day is approaching and I made two cards using new baby dolls dies. These were my first picks of the baby release because you can combine them in so many ways. And these is also my first post using new Distress Oxides.


Here is the material I used:
- Cottage Cutz Dies (Baby Dolls, Baby Doll Girl Clothes, Baby Doll Boy Clothes, Cupcake Mini, Duck Pull Toy Mini, Spring Bunny w/ Flowers, Lighthouse w/Clouds),
- Distress Inks (Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Brushed Corduroy, Peeled Paint, Broken China, Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans, Worn Lipstick),
- Distress Oxides (Faded Jeans, Broken China, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Wilted Violet, Peeled Pint, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain),
- white card base (15 x 10,5 cm),
- watercolor paper (9 x 13,5 cm),
- violet and blue card stock (9,4 x 13,9 cm),
- black pen,
- glue.

I started with die cutting baby clothes and coloring them with Distress Oxides. I was very happy to see how easy it is to color with it.


Then I die cut all the body parts and colored them with Distress Inks. I found it easier to glue the clothes first and then add the hands, legs and heads. I finished the faces with black pen and added a little blush to the faces.


For the background I used watercolor paper and some colored card stock.


I smooshed Distress Inks on the watercolor paper using water spritzer and some acetate foil.


I also made some accessories for the boy and girl. The new dies combine nicely with some dies I already had.


And I die cut some additional background elements. I colored the grass with Distress Ink and the duck's wheels with Oxide (they are both colored with Peeled Paint). It's nice to see the difference.


Then I glued all the pieces to the card base and added the printed sentiment.




Happy and sunny Sunday to all.
Anja Z.
