It's a Party!!!

I love the carnival. So many wonderful memories growing up and now we are making new memories with our children. Hi everyone, Erika Taylor here today to share with you a sweet birthday card using the Boardwalk Carnival Silhouette die. For this card I decided to create a shadow by cutting the first die in black, then the second with a polka dot patterned paper. Offsetting them slightly, to create the shadow effect. Isn't that cute??? These little dies are truly a joy to work with and so easy to use.

So lets take a look at my little birthday card inspired by the carnival. Hope you like it




Try your hand at creating shadows by doubling up your die cuts from Cottage Cutz. It really adds a dimension and is perfect for every occasion. Thanks so much for stopping by today. Make sure you leave a comment and let me know what you think. Until next time

Screamin'


Hi everyone! Today I'm featuring the Roller Coaster 4x6 die and the Boardwalk Carnival Silhouette 4x6 die. My daughter and her husband took their very first vacation together (other than their honeymoon) in June and went to So. California. My daughter was so excited to go to Disneyland because her husband had never been before. They went on California Screamin' (which she wouldn't do when we went as a family a few years ago) and these dies are perfect to remember the event.


I love how you can combine these two dies or use them separately, make them detailed or simple. I chose to keep them simple so they wouldn't be too busy on my layout.
Be sure to keep these Carnival dies in my mind when you do those Disney layouts!
Have a great day and hope you get some crafty time today.

Fair Fun!



What have you done for fun this summer? Have you gone to any amusement parks or fairs, or how about a great 4th of July Celebration? Well, if so, then pull out your pictures and get ready to scrap! I have to admit, the photo that I used is about 3 years old - but it was perfect for what I had in mind. The Fireworks paper looks absolutely spectacular for my Fair Fun layout. I used the new carnival release from CottageCutz dies - which you are going to love. I was actually able to use 5 different sets of dies on this page! The others are all so cute, I was wishing I could have fit more on the page!
