Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.
We have a brand-new Easter release with 17 new designs available in the online store. There is something for every card maker with faith-based dies, beautiful floral images, whimsical with bunnies and frogs and several lovely birds and butterflies.
You will be able to take the images beyond the Easter or Spring season. And for a limited time you can get individual dies at 30% off. Today for your viewing pleasure I am using the new Spring Daffodils to create a Mother's Day card. So you see how easy it is to move these dies to another occasion besides Easter.
Design Steps:
I started my card this week by cutting the daffodil images. I used a bright yellow cardstock (daffidil delight) and an orange cardstock (mango melody) for the floral images. The stems are a brighter green cardstock (granny apple green).
I wanted to layer the daffodil images on black cardstock. I saw a card recently on Pinterest and it was so striking on black. I used a 3D textile embossing folder for a bit of background interest. It's more of a subtle embossing which is the look I was going for.
Tip: when you use a 3D folder spritz the cardstock with water to break up the fibers. This way your cardstock doesn't crack.
I wanted a stamped sentiment on the card and after a bit of thought I decided to use one of the banner images from the Windows Slimline die. It was the perfect size for my sentiment. I cut the banner in the mango melody cardstock and stamped in black ink.
I am now ready to start card assembly. I secured the embossed panel to the black card base.
Black card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Black embossed panel: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
That's it for me for this post. See you next Saturday. Have a wonderful Easter celebration.
