Encouraging a Friend

Hello CottageCutz Friends

The card I am sharing with you today is one of encouragement.  A friend recently had heart surgery and has a long recovery ahead of her.  She loves animals especially dogs so I incorporated a dog.  Also the ribbon for heart awareness is red.  So I included a red ribbon. The dies I am using today are Stitch Heart Set, Loyal Pets and Hugs w/Shadow.

Designer Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a piece of light blue card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and a piece of white 4 x 5 1/4.  Using the second from the largest Stitched Heart cut out a heart in the upper right corner as shown. After the heart is cut run it through a dotted embossing folder

2.  On the blue card stock create some clouds using a stencil and some blue ink

3.  Glue the white heart piece to the blue stenciled cloud piece.  Add a red ribbon and then glue to the white card base

4.  Using the Loyal Pets die cut out the dog and cat in black and the collar and bow in red.  Glue the pieces

5.  Add some dimension tape to the back of the dog and cat.  Pop them onto the front of the card as shown below

6.  Using the Hugs w/Shadow die and cut out the shadow in red and the word in black.  Glue together and add to card as shown.  Your card is complete

Hello Friends 

I have one more Mother's Day card to share with you today.  I am featuring the Stitched Tulip and Daisy die.  I used the two daises on this card.  It was a fairly fast card to put together and I just love all the stitching.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Stitched Tulip and Daisy die cut out the following colors of card stock: rust, yellow, peach, and green.  Use coordinating ink colors to give them some shading

2.  Use an A2 white card base and then cut a piece of white card stock 4 x 5 1/4 I ran it through an embossing folder which had a cute little border 

3.  Take the embossed card stock and stamp the sentiment to the lower right hand corner as shown.  Begin to glue the flower pot pieces to the white card stock as shown

4.  When your finished glueing the flower pot to the embossed retangle glue that panel to the front of the white card base.  I added some white ink highlights to the finished card. I used a white ink pen from Gelly Roll Sakura

Thanks so much for stopping by!
