Let the Good Times Roll!

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam sharing with you on this fine Thursday!

I have another Valentine for you today.  I am loving the color palette for this one.  I have done several of the Classic 50's card in it.  And I just can't seem to get enough of these wonderful colors.  This time I have designed a slimline using the Classic 50's Collection.  I used 3 of the dies to make this cute card they are: Classic Radio, Skates and Poodle Skirt.  

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a black slimline card base measuring 3 1/2 x 8 1/2

• Cut a piece of black and white checked DP 3 1/2 x 8 1/2
• Using the Whimsical Heart Slimline die cut a piece of white card stock
• Use the Stitched Heart set cut a black heart out of card stock using the largest heart
• Glue the checked DP to the card front and then glue down the white Whimsical Heart card stock
• Glue the black heart to the middle of the card

2.  Using the following dies Skates, Poodle Skirt and Classic Radio cut the pieces out of the following card stock: black, yellow, white, pink, light and dark gray, and turquoise 

3.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip, fast drying glue

4.  Arrange to skates side by side like pictured and pop them up inside of the black heart

5.  Add the radio to the top of the card and the poodle skirt to the bottom of the card by using dimension dots

6. Type your sentiment and print it on white card stock then layered it onto turquoise card stock. Glue it next to the skates on the left side.  Your card is complete

Sweet Valentine Wishes

Hi, my crafty friends, it's Marla, back with another Valentine's Day card that I am sharing over on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel.  Last week, Pam shared a sweet recipe card using the "Christmas Baking Mice" die.  If you missed it, you can find the post here.
 My card features the same "Christmas Baking Mice" die set paired with the "Whimsical Hearts Slimline" die.  If you are trying to improve your die cut coloring, you will like the portion of my tutorial where I share how I added dimension to my cookie batter.  I hope you'll head over to watch and enter to win one of these dies.
As always, I am adding links below to the CottageCutz products I have used for easy shopping.  Until next time..... Marla

Be Mine Valentine Gnome

Hello and happy Monday CottageCutz friends!

Kris here sharing with you a cute slimline Valentine card I made using the Jolly Santa Gnome die from the Christmas 1 Release (which are all 30% off right now!) which I made into a Valentine Gnome ♥  I simply left off his white trim on his outfit, and exchanged the present & candy cane in his hands to hearts (from the Whimsical Hearts Slimline die) Getting creative with your dies gets you more bang for your buck!  

I used some cute papers from Doodlebug Designs behind the heart cut-outs.

DESIGN STEPS:

• I die cut the Heart XO Windows Slimline die from light teal cardstock.

• I decided I wanted a li'l bit of a pink border so I cut my card base at 7-1/2" x 8-3/4" and scored the 7-1/2" side in half at 3-3/4"

• I cut each of 3 patterned papers at 2-3/4" x 3-1/4"

• I added tape behind each of the 3 patterned papers and attached to card front as pictured below (even amount of pink border around the outsides).

• I added foam strips to the backside of XO Heart Windows layer to give a bit of dimension to my card.  Then I centered onto card front.

•  Next, I die cut my Jolly Santa Gnome from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  I die cut just the hat from a piece of patterned paper.  I then popped him onto the middle heart with foam strips.

•  I glued some random size hearts (left overs from cutting the Whimsical Hearts Slimline die) to the front.

•  And to finish it off, I die cut "Be Mine" from the Stitched Alphabet die and popped them up with foam strips.  ☺♥

Thanks so much for peeking in today!  I hope I've inspired you to get creative with your CottageCutz dies!  Happy Crafting xo
