Gift Basket Banners With Cottage Cutz Dies

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! Today I am sharing a fun project...err should I say projects created with some fun dies from Cottage Cutz. Here is what I created.

I created these fun gift baskets and used some dies to create the little banners on each one. It is kind of hard to see them here in this group photo. I wanted to share the whole finished set first. 

Here's a photo of one of the gift baskets before I put the cello wrap and bow, etc. on it. I got these baskets from Hobby Lobby on clearance! I had to make 4 baskets for a teacher appreciation event our Chamber of Commerce is hosting next week. I filled the baskets with items that a teacher can use. I decided to decorate the baskets with these cute hanging banners. I strug the 4 banner panels along some jute and then used some wood beads inbetween each panel.

Here's a look at the #1 banner. I used Kraft cardstock to cut out the double stitched rectangle mats from that set. I then cut some black cardstock to create some mats. I used some foam tape between the two Kraft layers to give it a little more dimension. The Award cup and #1 are from a die as well.

Here's a closer look at the puppy with apple and star banner.

Here's a closer look at the folk art fox die on a banner.

And last but not least, here is a close up of the All star banner. 

Heres a closer look at one of the baskets once the cello wrap was on.

Here's a closer look at the one basket that is a rectangle basket. I was only able to find one rectangle so the other three were in the baskets.

#1 All Star MVP Birthday Heart Stitched Card

Happy TuesDIE Cottage Cutz Friends!

Melinda here with you on on another sweet TuesDIE. Today I am sharing a fun card and very easy card I created featuring dies from the Baseball and Golf release.

Here's a look at my completed card. It is a standard A2 horizontal top folding card. I started with a white cardstock base. I then layered a piece of red cardstock onto the base and a piece of cute Doodlebug patterned paper to that. I used all 4 hearts from the Nested Stitched Heart die set. I cut them out in white cardstock and then colored them in with my markers. I used the stitches from the Baseball to create the stitches on the heart.

Here's a closer look at the Shadow Birthday and the cute All Star. You can also see some of the cute hearts.

Here's a closer look at the other hearts. I colored them all in with my various markers to match the patterned paper. I then layered the #1 and the MVP titles onto each other and then onto the card.  I love the way it turned out. Very simple yet super colorful and fun.

Hi everyone! Linh here and I have a fun baseball card for you sports fans! The latest Baseball & Golf collection is amazing! If you struggle with making cards for the men and sports lovers in your life, this is the perfect collection for you!

For this particular card, I followed a fun card sketch. it's nice a simple and perfect for using some of your pattern paper scraps!  These papers are Lawn Fawn's Gotta Have Gingham and Plaid papers.  I thought they'd be perfect for this baseball themed card.

The Retro Alphabet set from CottageCutz seemed like a perfect fit for this masculine card!
