Fall and Christmas

Hi, Vladka here today with two projects!

I have something old and something new. Actually both projects are new, but for the first one I used dies from previous releases and for the second one I used dies from new Christmas release. 

Fall is for me the most inspirational time of the year, because of the colors and card is special, because it was created for my mom´s birthday. It is an easel card, my first actually. On the front, I used Build a Grapevine Wreath die, one of my favorite. All die cuts are colored with Distress Inks, because it is the easiest way to get beautiful colors. Inside I used die cuts which I cut out with Hand Mirror and Cameo die. To get this look I used liquid pearls and add some Vintage Photo re-inker to get more brownish shade. Foliage nicely supplement the cameo and the front page.

And I have something more to show you. This project it is special for me and this is actually letter for Santa together with an envelope. Here I used following dies: Peeking Santa Bear, Double Bow and Build a Poinsettia. Stamps are from Christmas Gift Set.

Christmas is special time and because of that also creating the cards is special. Dies from both new Christmas releases are so playful in gives you really a lot of opportunities and ways to use them.

Have a great weekend!

Here are dies used for fall card:

Chalkboard style

 Hi, all! Vladka is here! 

This time I have two cards with chalkboard style  for you. I love this style and I´ve used it before, but I wanted to try it also with CottageCutz dies. I combined different dies from different releases: Christmas, Harvest and from the last Winter release which is so playful. Here are both cards:

First one is combination of Wreath, Mittens, Winterland Holly and Bow dies. First two are cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder. Winterland Holly and Bow are coloured with Distress Inks.

Second one is combined from Snowflake, Ice Skates and Poinsettia dies. Also here are Snowflake and Ice Skates cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder and Poinsettia is coloured with different Distress Inks.

Holidays approaching very fast and I have so much to do till then. I have to hurry up. 
But I still have time to wish you great day and don´t forget to have fun!

Merry Christmas tag/card

Build a Poinsettia Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all! Today I wanted to share a Merry Christmas Layout made for CottageCutz using the BEAUTIFUL "CottageCutz Build a Poinsettia Die" from the CottageCutz  Christmas Traditions Release.

I cut them all out using Red Card Stock, and then I airbrushed them with a red copic, not sure if you can see the airbrushing very well in my photo's. Next I used Liquid Scrap Dots to give them a 3-D look, and then added some CIP's gold glitter to the centers of them all.

These were easy to make, I just put them all together at the same time, let them dry, and then added the glitter, set aside and worked on my layout. My layout is super simple as it only consist of 2 dp pieces for the backgroud layers, then I took another design paper piece and cut it down to create a matt for photo's. 

Lastly I added lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon, and a button!
