Baby Girl = Cute Laundry

Hi friends!

Kris here sharing another BABY card with you.  

I used the color challenge at SplitcoastStampers this week #CC996 

which is Polished Pink, Lemon Lolly, and Parakeet Party

Dessert option is:  Embossing folder

I used the CottageCutz dies called Baby Girl Clothes and I computer-generated this sentiment based one I saw on Pinterest.  

For my base, I cut a top folding A2 card.  I then cut a layer and used a GinaK lattice embossing (the dessert option part of the challenge).

For my main image, I added Kitsch Flamingo D.O. ink.  I then die cut some grass from the Parakeet Party cardstock and attached it to the pink layer.  I added a leftover piece of fence behind the grass.  Then I die cut the whole thing with the largest of the Double Stitched Rectangles die 

I backed that layer with the Polished Pink cardstock, cut at 4-1/4" wide and just a li'l taller than my focal panel so it gives a bit of a border on top and bottom.  

I ran a piece of cotton candy baker's twine around the panel and added pop dots on back to hold twine and also elevate the whole panel so you won't see indents where the twine is on back.  The clothespins are part of the Baby Girl Clothes die.  I pieced the clothes with the Doodlebug Designs Baby Girl papers. 

That's a wrap!!  ☺♥  Thanks so much for looking today!

Miss Spring Bunny & Hot Air Balloon

Hello, welcome back friends!

Kris here to share some Easter inspiration with you!

This Easter card is cute and SO EASY to make!  It features Miss Spring Bunny and the Spring Hot Air Balloon dies. 

I also want to point out that you have until 9 PM (Pacific) TONIGHT to take advantage of this:

DESIGN STEPS:

I die cut Miss Spring Bunny and the Spring Hot Air Balloon from white cardstock and colored with Copics, then assembled.

I also die cut the clouds from the Stitched Sun, Clouds and Umbrella die

(aren't these adorable?!)

I decided to make this a 4" x 6" card to get the height needed for the hot air balloon.  I cut a piece of white cardstock at 4 x 6" then I used the largest Scalloped Rectangle die and used the "die extension" method to make it fit within my 4 x 6" with an equal border all around.  

Next, I used one of the Grass Slimline dies to cut grass into the bottom portion of my scalloped panel.  Instead of layering my grass on top, I fit it back into the cut out section like a puzzle!  That way I have scalloped edges all around the 3 sides of my grass layer!  ☺ 

I added Distress Oxide ink to both pieces; Peacock Feathers for the top and Twisted Citron & Mowed Lawn for the Grass. 

I added my clouds and stamped a sentiment on grass, then layered onto a piece of white cardstock cut a li'l larger.  My card base is cut at 6" x 8" and scored in half at 4".  I popped my Bunny and Balloon onto front with foam tape.

 

   

Thank you so much for taking a peek today! 

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

Hippity Hoppity Easter Express

Happy Friday friends!

It's Kris sharing with you today. It's the first day of March, which means there's  30 more days til Easter!  I have a few more Easter cards to make and today's turned out super cute, in my humble opinion. ☺  This slimline features the Bunny Express Engine and Bunny Express Carrot Cars along with the Spring Sentiments from the Spring 2022 release.  

Design Steps:

My card base is 4" x 9" (folded).  My next layer (SU! Berry Burst) is cut at 3-3/4" x 8-3/4" (I actually cut it 1/16" shy of those figures, but if you don't like working in 16th inches, you can easily round up to 3/4")

Next, I die cut a piece of blue/white gingham paper (Divinity Designs Polka Dots & Gingham)  using the largest of the Nested Stitched Rectangles Slimline set.  And for my main focal panel, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Rectangles Slimline set.  I then sponged some clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. 

I cut a piece of (SU! Granny Apple Green) at 1-1/2" x 7-15/16" and I die cut the top with a die from the Grass Slimline set. 

I die cut a piece of iridescent cardstock using the Picket Fence Slimline die and then trimmed it as shown in the photo below to look like train tracks. 

I layered all those pieces onto my card base.

Next, I die cut all of my Easter elements from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers and then I assembled them.  I popped the train onto the track with foam dots and I glued the sentiment to the top.  

I love the font and how the ending letters include bunny ears! 

Thanks so much for looking today!  I hope you are inspired to create something CUTE with your favorite CottageCutz dies ☺
