Sending You Sunny Smiles

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this card for my design team day.  There is a brand new release of Beach & Tropical dies which compliment the Pirates & Sea Creatures from the last die release.  Both of the die sets are currently on sale and also showcased on my card!
I cut out the pieces from the Treasure Chest Island, inked up all of my die cuts and put everything together.  I also cut out a tiny flower from the Tropical Bouquet die set.  The oval base and frame are from the Oval  and Pierced Wide Oval Frame sets.
I found this fun paper in my stash and trimmed it to fit my card base, it reminded me of a sandy beach.  I inked the edges for extra dimension.  I also stamped a sentiment on some coordinating card stock.
The oval frame was layered over the oval base and the die cut piecing was affixed to the framed set.
Next, I adhered the tropical scene on my card base.  The sentiment tag was added at the bottom of my card.
The finishing accent on this card was the gorgeous flower which was used to embellish the sentiment tag. All of the little details are amazing on this little flower!
Here are the dies that I used on my card, available in the store:

Easter Basket

Hi, Lois here.  Easter is just a few weeks away, so for today's post I made an Easter card.  I had bought a pad of patterned paper a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby that had several pieces that looked just like a woven basket, and I've been wanting to use it.  Today is the day!   My card, using one of the Spring dies (Spring Flower Eggs), is pretty simple.


To start, I cut the eggs three times -- from yellow, pale green, and purple cardstock.


Using a fine-tip glue applicator, I glued the cut-out eggs to the solid back pieces, alternating the colors.


Then I cut my cardstock:

Cream - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Patterned paper - 2" x 5 1/4"

The handle was cut from tan cardstock, using the largest CottageCutz Pierced Wide Oval Frame die.


Using a wide-angle corner punch, I rounded the bottom corners of the basket-weave patterned paper.


I wrapped some purple ribbon around the oval frame/basket handle, taping it in place.


I taped the handle to the back of the basket and added the eggs.  Then I adhered some foam tape strips around the basket and the frame.


Removing the protective paper from the tape, I adhered the basket to my card base.  I added a large foam pop dot behind each egg and a strip of ribbon and bow to the basket, and my card was finished.


By the way, CottageCutz has a new release of some cute breakfast items called Rise and Shine.  They are currently on sale at 25% off.  Be sure to check them out.

Framed Hummingbird

Lois here with a very simple card for you today.  I just got a few new-to-me CottageCutz dies and was anxious to play with them.   I was intrigued by the Pierced Wide Frames and wanted to give them a try -- today I used the Ovals -- along with a sweet Hummingbird die.


Supplies used on this card are:

Heavyweight white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half, and a piece 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to cut the frame
Colored cardstock - Blue, Green, Pale Plum, Yellow, Pale Blue
Patterned paper - Shades of Plum
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass, Mowed Lawn, Victorian Violet
Copic marker
Black ink pen
Liquid glue
Roll of foam adhesive tape
Sponge daubers

To start my card I cut out the various pieces of cardstock for the hummingbird and frame.


I then added some depth to the pieces by sponging on some ink to the bird and flower pieces and added a bit of color to the bird's beak with a dark yellow marker.  Using the black ink pen I emphasized the eye of the hummingbird (not shown in photo).


I cut a strip of foam adhesive tape, cut it into narrower strips, and adhered it in pieces to the back of the oval frame.


To make the background for my "picture," I cut an oval from the pale blue cardstock.  You could use any oval die which would fit -- I used the double-stitched oval because it was close at hand.  The stitches were not going to show, so it didn't really matter.


I then constructed my card using the die-cut pieces and stamped the sentiment.   Here it is again.
