Wedded Bliss Club

Hi, Lois here with my Monday post.  August has always been a month for weddings for me.  My late husband and I were married in August fifty-five years ago.  So I'm bringing you another card made with the newly-released wedding series of dies from CottageCutz.  This time that cute little owl couple, as well as the stitched rectangle scallops..


I cut the many pieces for my little scene from various scraps of colored cardstock.


I added some additional color to some of the pieces to give them a bit of dimension.


Purple is one of my favorite colors, and my card reflects that.  Both the card base and the patterned paper accent are in shades of purple.  The card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in half; the patterned paper is cut slightly smaller.  My scene will appear on a piece of pale blue cardstock glued to the largest stitched scallop rectangle die cut.  In addition I cut a 1" x 4" piece of black cardstock for the road and tore a narrow strip of green for the grass.


I constructed the background for my focal panel, as shown.  I "borrowed" an idea from my fellow DT member, Pam, and drew a broken white line down the center of the road.  I had seen that on a card that she made a few weeks ago.  Thanks, Pam for the idea!


Then came the fun part of putting the bicycle and owls together.  


I stamped the sentiment, punched it out, and finished my card.


I realize purple is not most people's first choice for a wedding card; but, as I mentioned, I love that color!  And I think it goes well with the whimsical bride and groom owls.

More Wedding Doves

Lois here with another Monday card.  A wedding is such a wonderful occasion for which to make a card.  You can go elegant or you can go fun.  I think my card today is somewhere in between the two.  CottageCutz has recently released two series of dies, both of which contributed to my card today.  There is a wedding set and a series of nested shapes.  I used one die from each set along with some wedding paper that I had in my stash.


To begin I cut a piece of heavyweight white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", one piece of patterned paper 4" x 5 1/4" and another piece of patterned paper 3 3/4" x 2 3/4".


Then I cut the die-cuts from pink, green, and shimmer white cardstock.


Using some Copic markers, I added some color to the doves and the small hearts.


I placed some large foam pop dots on the pink die-cut panel.


The wedding paper that I used came in a pad which also included some pop-out die-cut pieces.  I found one that I liked and added the two small pink hearts to it.


I applied some liquid glue to the back of the branch . . .


. . . and some foam pop dots to the backs of the doves.


And then  I constructed my card.

Roses!

Good Morning Cottage Cutz Friends!

It is Pam sharing with you today.  I am playing with the new release Rose with Wedding Ring die and giving you options to make your dies more versatile.  The card I made for you today can be a wedding card, birthday card, thinking of you and many others.  Who wouldn't love a beautiful bouquet on their card!



1.  Start with an A2 Vanilla card base cut a light pink piece of card stock to 5 1/4 x 4 and a piece of dark pink card stock 5 x 3 3/4
2.  Run the dark pink through an embossing folder and then glue the layers to the front of the card and set aside
 3.  Using a mint green card stock and the Cottage Cutz Roses with Wedding Ring die cut out 6 stems.  Then cut out 5 dark pink roses and 5 light pink roses.  Using your copic markers shade the flowers.  Using the largest of the Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Eyelet Rectangle Set cut out a vanilla rectangle

 4.  Begin the arrangement in the center of the retangle and work from there.  I cut a lot of the leaves off and rearranged them in the bouquet.  Use a glue dot to attach your bow mount the rectangle to the dark pink on the front of your card

A Love Story

Hi, Lois here today with a card using some of the new CottageCutz dies.  As you may know, there is another great release of new dies over in the online store. The Nested Shapes with 17 designs as well as a Wedding Release with 20 designs. Janet (CottageCutz's video artist) has put together a video showcasing all the new nested shapes dies. Just click on the photo below to be taken to the CottageCutz YouTube channel.

I'm showing off several of the new wedding dies  today.  I saw a fold-out card on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago that I thought I could create -- depicting a little love story.  The card I saw on Pinterest was a birthday card; mine is a wedding card, using the following CottageCutz dies:

Pair of Doves
Wedding Chapel
Garden Bride and Groom
Mr and Mrs with Hearts
Honeymoon Car



There are many panels of cardstock on my card:

White - 5 1/2" x 11 1/2", 2 3/4" x 4 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5", 3" x 4 1/2" (2), 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" (2)
Blue - 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" (2), 2 1/2" x 4" (2)
Patterned Paper - 3 5/8" x 2 1/4", 2 7/8" x 1 1/2" (2), 2 1/8" x 1 1/4" (2)


Cut the various die-cut pieces from white, blue, gray, pink, and black cardstock, as shown.


Score the 5 1/2" x 11 1/2" piece of white cardstock at 1/4", 3 3/4", and 7 1/4".


Rotate the cardstock  and, with the 1/4" scored side at the top, place it at the 5/8" mark of your paper cutter and cut down to the last score line.  Cut out the 5/8" section, as shown.


Place a strip of 1/8" Scor-tape on one side of the 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of white cardstock and adhere to the 1/4" section.  Trim the excess 1/4" strip at the top, as shown.


Adhere the various pieces of patterned paper to the remaining white panels and run a piece of narrow blue ribbon around the top of the patterned paper, adhering at the back.  Add some color to the die cuts using Copic markers to give some dimension and construct the die-cuts on the white panels. (As I was constructing the chapel, I decided that I needed a couple of yellow pieces for the windows.)  Then adhere the white panels to the blue panels.


Stamp the small sentiments to several of the panels and adhere to the card base.  Add some pearls throughout.

Designer Steps:

 2.  Using the Nested Stitched Scallop Circle set place the largest circle onto the cutting platform and then the second to the largest inside the largest and cut a open scalloped circle
 3.  Cut the vine on dark green card stock using the Fancy Doves with Vine and then cut the flowers in the deep red
 4.  Glue the red flowers to the tips of the vine
 5.  Glue the open scallop circle to the card as shown just slightly of center.  The glue the vine down as shown
 6. Using the Fancy Doves with Vine cut out the two doves on designer paper then ink the edges with a distress ink

7.  Use a sharping tool to give the doves some dimension then pop them onto the vine add pearls and your card is complete
