Sweet Home With Flowers

Hello dear friends,

It's Saturday today I am Anita here and I have a new card for you made with the new release HOME SWEET HOME collection. Such minute detailed dies are included in this series that I am amazed. You can build your entire house with this release.

However, as my forte is flower making, I decided to make a delicate blue floral card adorned with pretty flowers and a sweet home. So here is my card along with the close up pictures to show you the details of the cards and how the dies have been used.

 The card measures 7.5 inches by 5.5 inches.

I have used an embossed dotted paper in blues and have added some zig zag stitching to it, to coordinate with Stitched rectangle die.

This card is all about layering.

The flowers have been created using the CottageCutz 3D flower # 5 and many leaves. The leaves have been coloured with Distress ink Peeled Paint.

DELICATE BLOSSOMS

Hello dear friends ,

It's Saturday today and I'm Anita here. It's time for my weekly post for CottageCutz. As I am so fond of making flowers, CottageCutz  has some amazing 3D flower dies and you can create most beautiful flowers with these.

I use various flower making techniques and you can find them all under my post at the CottageCutz blog.
Today, I have created very delicate flowers that are so easy to make and look fabulous on any project.

Here is the card that I made. Please follow the photo tutorial below to get a detailed description of creating this card.

  

Step by step tutorial

The finished card measures 6 inches by 7.5 inches.

Emboss two pieces from CottageCutz Stitched Wide rectangle frame and  CottageCutz stitched Wide oval frame on thick white cardstock. Then cut around to get two die cuts like this.

Using Distress  ink, distress the inside portion with the die intact on paper and stamp the sentiment on oval die cut.

Cut out many pieces from CottageCutz leafy foliage die and CottageCutz 3Dflower #7 die on 160 gsm white cardstock

To make a big flower, you will need three big size and two medium size flowers. For medium flower, you will need, three medium and two small size flowers. Use the rest as filler flowers.

 

                                             
                                 
                         Colour the flowers and leaves like this.

Spritz water on the rectangle frame and score on board at 1/4 inch interval. Mount on corrugated cardstock leaving 1/2 inch all around.

                                                  Attach the oval frame using 3d foam tapes

Adhere the whole thing on to the card base measuring 6 inches by 7.5 inches. Arrange the flowers using Tacky glue.
