Whimsical Greetings

Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday to all!
Today's card was designed for the Scrapping Cottage & Splitcoastampers Way to use it challenge. We were to use BUTTERFLIES! LOVE THIS!

 
So for my card today I used The Scrapping Cottage Vintage Butterfly Flourish, and airbrushed it using copic markers in these colors-
R39,100, YR09,C5,YR16. Next I added the green rhinestones to the body of my butterfly.
The frame I used is CottageCutz Fancy Victorian Frame. I dusted the frame using Spiced Marmalade. and then stamped my sentiment using Butterfly Wishes from the Greeting Farm Stamps.
The Design paper is oldie but goodie....hehehe its Basicgreys Ambrosia, love it! It has BUTTERFLIES on it as well :) Perfect for todays challenge.
 
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these CottageCutz Victorian Corners! They are so beautiful, and love the look of them. I did cut them using black card stock for today :)


Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek at my card today!
Enjoy your day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Victorian Bird

Hello everyone, Cheryl here today with a card made using the CottageCutz Victorian Release. Yes I am LOVING this Release, and have been busy crafting away with these BEAUTIFUL dies, I just LOVE the CottageCutz dies, not only are they super fun to work with, but easy to use as well.

My card today measures 6" x 6" and I used some bright colors for this one. I always have a hard time using the bright PINK, even though I love the color pink, its been a challenge for me. However I love the way this one turned out, as I used the bright PINK for highlights instead of using it as the main focal point.

CottageCutz dies used are - CottageCutz Victorian Bird, CottageCutz Victorian Floral, and CottageCutz Fancy Floral Frame I used airbrushing on the Bird and the Floral piece. love the look it gives to airbrush with the copics, not only that but its super easy to do as well. Inside the frame I stamped a SU! birthday sentiment. 

Design paper is scraps that I had, and wanted to use up. I am trying to use up some of my scrap pieces that I have had in a basket. This is a nice challenge to get rid of scraps....Gotta love that!

I did add some RRR in a Moss Satin, and then a button, and some gems to embellish my card. The Friend Stamp is super OLD its a Greeting Farm one.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you for stopping by and taking a Peek!
Hugs to all, and thank you again for all your super SWEET Comments! I LOVE reading them!

CottageCutz Gracie Bunny Giving Thanks

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of a creation made with the beautiful CottageCutz dies.  It's Carol today with a creation for you.  This die is called Gracie Bunny Giving Thanks-just perfect for my thank you card today.
Gracie Bunny has been colored with copic markers.  The colors used were C01, C03, and C05.  It's a coincidence that this thank you card is actually going to someone who owns a boy bunny named Grayson-that's why the bunny is Gray.
The flower was created with the Sizzix Sunflower die.  The card base is Spellbinders and a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Punch.
Thanks for stopping by today.  Be show to check out CottageCutz dies at The Scrapping Cottage for all you creative needs.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.  See you soon.  Here is the CottageCutz die used:

Peaceful Spring Scene

Hi, all! Vladka here today!
Today is time to use dies from new Victorian release. If you are romantic soul, is this release perfect for you. I decided to create a peaceful spring scene. For the background, I've colored some paper with Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress inks first and then also with white color to create this wooden look. 
Elegant Frame and Bench are cut out from black cardstock and colored with black Enamel Accent. This gives some shine and more metallic look. Then I needed a little greenery, so I used Butterfly Flourish Vine and Flourish Vine dies and colored die cuts with green Distress Ink. Little blossoms are cut out with Bunny Stuck in Flower Pot die. 
Now I just need the same real bench and good book in my hand to relax a little bit. 
Have a great day!

Happy Birthday


Hello everyone, Cheryl here with an extra post for this month. I wanted to share Darling Gracie Bunny Giving Thanks. She is super Cute and has to be my favorite bunny from the Spring Release. Isn't she just DARLING??!!!! 

For my card today, I started by layering the CottageCutz Fancy Floral Corner #1 (2 pieces), and then layered the border piece with dp on top of those. Next I used the CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame Die to have a place for Gracie bunny, so she could be the Center of attention :) hehehe

CottageCutz Gracie Bunny Giving Thanks was cut in white, and then dusted with distress inks, and also with copics. I added a tag, to write Happy Birthday on, since I will be using this card for an upcoming birthday :)
 For embellishments, I used sewing, and Seam Binding for my embellishments.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Victorian Lady


Hello CottageCutz Fans, and Happy Tuesday to all!

Today's card features the Victorian Release. LOVE this release and all the dies that come in this collection. On my card today I used the CottageCutz Victorian Lady, Ornate Fence , Flourish Vine, and the largest part of the Victorian Frame.


The Victorian Lady was colored with copics, and then I added some Viva Pearl Pen dots to the dress and her umbrella.  The Victorian frame , works perfect to frame the circle layer I used. Love the look! I also cut the Ornate Fence in white and added the Flourish Vine to it, along with some flowers that I cut out using the CottageCutz Tree of Nature die.. I love the small flowers from this die, they work perfect for embellishing a lot of the CottageCutz Greenery.

CottageCutz Dies Used: All are linked to the Scrapping Cottage Store, just click on each photo and it will take you to the item.
 Lastly I used a super old stamp and punched it out with SU! punches. The dp is from DCWV. I added some seam binding and sewing to complete my card. Love the way it turned out, and I had a lot of fun making this card!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
