Birthday Badges

Happy Tuesday Cottagecutz fans. I hope you had a wonderful new year. I can’t believe how quickly Christmas went. What I do know is that come June I’ll be working on Christmas for next year.

Anyway it’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I thought I’d use the Black Friday release to make some birthday badges. I think it’s really cute for youngsters to have a name badge at a birthday party. So this is how I made them

Firstly I cut out 3 of the ‘Nested Stiyched Scalloped Circles’ in a bronze brown colour. I have also cut out 3 of the ‘Stitched Rounded Rectangles’ as we’ll need these shortly

I use 38m broach bars to make my badges and secure wit a hot gun. I then use the small rectangle as cut above to extra secure the broach bar in place

Next I printed some names on this beautiful cream pearlescent card and cut out with the ‘Stitched Circle Set’

I wanted to add a little background to the badges so I cut out some green circles in the same size

Next I used the ‘Grass Slimelime’ to cut some hills from the circles

I then attached the grass to the bottom of the badges and they are a perfect fit

Next I added the names to the brown badges 

To finish off, I used some of the designs from the ‘Black Friday’ release, which I will list below and you have your badges

I really hope you like the badges as much as I did making them. 

Have a wonderful week and I will see you on Friday with another project

Z Fold Campin Out

Good morning CottageCutz fans, I hope you are enjoying the festive break. If I see another turkey I think I’m going to explode. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and it’s a pyjamas and movie kind of day so I’m making most of taking it easy.

Today I’m bringing you a Z-Fold card. I’ve never made one f these before but there area. However, there are ton of tutorials on You Tube so check them out.

To begin with I assembled the Z-Fold card base and used the ‘Grass Slimline’ to cover the base. I then used the Farm Fence Slimline above which i thought look really cool.

Next I cut out some of the trees from the ‘Campin Out Tress’ die and dotted them around the card. I used some chalk to make them look more realistic.

I then used the ‘Clouds Slimline die for the top of the card 

To finish I added the Moose and Reindeer by the fire with their mugs of hot chocolate. Also the mushrooms. I’ll list all the dies below

I really hope you like today card. I had fun making it. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and i will be back with a full tutorial on Friday

Hugs

Dimensional Camping Card

Happy Friday CottageCutz fans. I hope you’ve had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. We are 22 days away from the big day so my Christmas crafting is crucial now. 

However, it’s the last day of the sale on the website and of course this release is so amazing that I couldn’t help but make one last card for you. This is a dimensional card so it made up of many different layers so lets get down to how I made the card

To begin with, I cut a piece of blue card measuring 5” x 5” when folded and then 4 pieces of kraft card measuring 4.5’ x 4.5”. I actually used only 3 of the pieces of kraft card but you could use many layers. To cut the centre of the Kraft card I used the largest ‘Nested Stitched Scalloped Square Set’. 

One thing to remember, each Kraft layer is attached to the card with 2mm foam pads

Next I cut out 2 of the mountains from the ‘Campin Out Mountains and Trees’ and layered onto my card. I layered it so that the kraft card would cover it up

Next I used the ‘Hills Slimlime’ to create some greenery and then covered up with the first of my kraft

card pieces

For the next layer, again I used the ‘Hills Slimline to create more greenery and took the trees from the ‘Campin out Mountains and Trees’. I’m going t use some chalk later to give the trees some dimension but again I layered up with another piece of the kraft card

My final layer was a different colour green for the grass again using the ‘Hills Slimline’ and I attached this to the card before adding the remaining embellishments. For my embellishments I used the Moose and Reindeer from the ‘Campin Out Moose and Reindeer Set’, the Mushrooms from the ‘Campin Out Mushrooms and Rocks’ set, the Campin Out Fire and & Sign Set’ but I only used the mushrooms. Then finally the mug from ‘Campin Out Bear on Log’ die.

To finish, I added some chalk on the trees to give them dimension, some stitching round the side of the card and some white gel dots on the mushrooms

I really hope you like this card and it given you some inspiration for this release. It is a super cute release and when you see how many dies you get for the price it’s amazing

I wish you all an amazing weekend with lots of crafting and I will be back on Tuesday with a super Christmas card

New Baby Card

Happy Tuesday Cottagecutz fans. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had lots of time with family and loved ones. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I am mixing it up a bit. I love the new camping release and I have made quite a few camping scenes so I thought I’d try something slightly different

I have made a new baby card and just by changing the colours you can use these dies all year round and I think that’s what we want from theses dies.

This is a short tutorial today but I’ll be back on Friday with full tutorial

To begin with I cut the largest ‘Nested Stitched Scalloped Rectangles’. I then took the largest ‘Nested Stitched Rectangles’ and cut it out in green card. You don’t need to cut the full rectangle as I used the  ‘Grass Slimline’ to cut a small border. I then attached this to the card

Next I took a thin slither of brown card to act as a washing line and glued on the card. To fill up my washing line with stuffed animals I used the ‘Campin Out Racoon’ and ‘Campin out Moose and Reindeer’ dies. I cut them in very girlie colours but you could change it to a masculine theme. I attached the animals to the washing line with 1mm foam pads. 

Next I took the ‘Campin Out Mushrooms and Rocks’. I cut the main mushroom in pink and used a white gel pen to give them some features. Again these were attached to the card with 1mm foam pads.

To finish I took a folded card to fit the design and attached it with 3D foam pads. I also used the pegs from the ‘Baby Boy Clothes’ to secure the animals to the washing line. I then stamped a congratulations sentiment and attached the the bottom right of the card

I really hope that you like the card today as I had so much fun making it. I wish you a great week and make time for crafting. See you Friday for anther post
