Group Post Black Friday Release (Day 2)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store.  You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We will have group posts this week to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. The Design team has some great ideas for ways to use these new dies.

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Kristine Breach. I Love all the bright and bold colors she used to create an awesome center step fun-fold card. This card would be perfect for any age birthday. Or how about the young ones who are having sock hops for their birthday parties. You could make this card to go with the party theme. 

She is featuring the new Jukebox die for the main image. Her side panels are embellished with faux "vinyl" records from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die. The Happy Phrase on the bottom panel is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die.  The letters and decorative background panels are included with this die. 

This view shows the card inside. She ink blended the birthday phrase. It complements the card front.

And of course, the card folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard envelope. 

Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Pam MacKay. She is featuring a slimline design that has such great nostalgic appeal. The background checkerboard paper and her card colors really complete the retro look.  This one would be perfect for the classic car collector, someone who is turning 50 or who grew up in the fifties. I have family & friends in all these categories.  

She used the Classic Car (Side) for her main image. The phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. It's a perfect complement to the classic car. The other phrases are from an older 2018 collection - Route 66 Road Signs. They work perfectly with her card and are currently 75% off for our Black Friday sale. 

Card 3: The last sample for today is one that I, Mary Marsh, created. Turning 50 and images from the 50's are so perfect for my friend who is celebrating a 50th birthday soon. 

I used the Poodle Skirt die and cut from cardstock in a classic 50's look. I wanted to keep my card colors in pink and black - it's a feminine card after all (lol)!!! 

The Rock n Roll phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. I love the shadow. The Birthday phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die. My other embellishments -music notes and records- are from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die.  The arrow is from the 2018 Route 66 Road Signs die. It's 75% off right now. 

Well, that's it for our samples for today. Join us again on Friday for more team samples from this Classic 50's release.
