Thanks Accordion Fold Card

Hello Cottage Cutz Friends!

Melinda here with you, on this wonderful day! For today's project, I am sharing a simple and pretty card I created with dies from the amazing Flowers & More release from Cottage Cutz!

Here's a look at my card. It is an accordion top fold card. The base of the card is 4.25 x 11.

I scored it at 5.5 inch. I then scored it at 2.75" and did a mountain fold. I then added some mats to the two halves on the inside or with the base open. I then also put a patterned paper mat on the right side as well. Each mat was a quarter inch smaller than the base dimensions. 2 at 2.5 x 4 and one at 4 x 5.25.

Here is a shot of what the base will look like when folded.

Here is another view with the card slightly open. I did add a rectangle double-stitched mat with a couple of mats. I then also used the Thanks die and cut the sentiment out. I colored the sentiment with a blue marker to match the patterned paper.

Here is another view of the card opened up to show the inside. I added a white rectangle stitched scallop mat so I could write a sentiment.

Here is a closer look at the beautiful flower die cut. I colored them and then put them on a patterned paper mat that went onto the double stitched circle mat. I put adhesive on only half of the mat so that it could open. I did also add some sequins to dress it up a little. I also added some perfect pearls to the centers of the large flowers.

Valentine Hug - New Release

 Hello Friends

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME!  The collection is called Flowers and More.  The whole set is on sale at a bundle price of 50% off and individual dies are at 30% off.  The unique thing about this release is that there are not as many pieces in each of the dies.  So they go together really quick and easy!

I am making one last Valentine with one of the beautiful flowers.  The flower is called Flower 4.  To me it looks like a carnation which I love.

Design Steps:

1.  I cut a couple of the flowers in white trying to decide which to use and I decided on Flower 4.

2.  Using my Copic makers I colored the flowers: G99, G94, G21, YG63 for the stems R22, R02, R01 for the flowers.  I glued them together with a fine tip glue

3.  The card base is white 5 x 5

• cut a piece of DP 4 7/8 x 4 7/8  
• using the Hug Phrase die cut it out of white twice then glue together
• using the Be My Valentine Puppies die cut out the heart in white

4.  Glue the DP to the white card base.  Glue the heart to the center of the card slight toward the top as shown.  Last glue down hugs leaving the letter s with no glue until you slip in the flowers or you can glue the hugs down last

5.  Place your flowers and glue to the card as shown above

6.  Add the ribbon to the top left of the heart and add the pearls in the center of the flowers.  Your card is now complete
