Spring Tulips - Scrapbook Layout




Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  For my layout this week I used the "Spring Tulips" and the "Spring Butterflies" dies, from the latest release.


The black cardstock base is 8" x 8", the background scene I created is 7.75" x 7.75". 
 The photo mat size is 3.5" x 3.5".


I love the how easy it is to make layouts with the Cottage Cutz dies!  Now, I'm all ready to put a photo of my spring tulips (if they finally decide to make an appearance here in northern Maine) on a page, and document how happy they make me feel every year.  

You can find all the layout details over on the  YouTube Channel!

The winner of the "Spring Bunny Car" die from my last video is Marz S., the details for collecting your giveaway prize are over on YouTube!  

Thanks for stopping in and krafting with me, this will be my last Design Team post for now.  I have enjoyed this team so much, and appreciate the opportunity to share this space with such wonderful people.  I wish everyone a very happy summer, and I hope that I will be able to guest design this fall.  

Until then, happy krafting everyone!!!

Hoppy Birthday Card




Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back on the blog today with this fun "Hoppy Birthday" card.  I used the "Spring Frog w/ Mushroom" and "Pond w/ Cattails & Lily Pad" dies, from the Easter release to create this adorable frog pond scene. 


With my cloud stencil and oxide inks, I created a whimsical sky for my background.  Next, I cut the dies out on Copic marker friendly cardstock, and colored all the pieces.   Finishing off my card, I stamped "Hoppy Birthday" for my sentiment.  I love how these dies work so well together!  


I love that Spring is finally in the air!  Even way up here in northern Maine, we can finally see grass!  I can't wait to hear the peepers!  They are sweet music to my ears.  Comment below and share if you know what peepers are?!  

Thanks for stopping in and I will see you soon with another fun inspiration.  Take care and happy krafting!

Spring Bunny Car Scrapbook Page




Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I used two dies from the latest "Easter" release, "Spring Bunny Car" and "Spring Party Car."  I also used one of my favorites "Spring Sentiments" to finish my layout.


My purple base paper is 8" x 8", the floral paper is 7.75" x 7.75".  The photo mat is sized to fit a 3" x 5" photo, but you can size this to your discretion.  

I really love coming up with ways of using the Cottage Cutz dies to embellish scrapbook pages.  I love how versatile they are, and how accomplished I feel when I finish a layout!

Bunny Tree Cottage Happy Easter Card - Giveaway




Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahin Krafts, back with another CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I crafted my fun Easter scene using "Bunny Tree Cottage", "Spring Sentiments", "Spring Chicken", "Little Flowers" and "Bunny Express Carrot Cars" dies.  


I love creating scenes using elements from several different die sets, even if it's just a small element like the Easter eggs from the "Bunny Express Carrot Cars."  I was excited to add the vine from the "Spring Chicken" sign to the Bunny Tree, I loved how well they fit together!

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahin Krafts, back with another CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I created this adorable card using the "Playful Piggies" and the "Country Farm Barn" dies. 


We have two pet piggies, Petunia and Peach.  I thought it would be fun to make the upcoming pig sitter a thank you card!  Peach is on the front of the card, and Petunia is saying thanks inside.
