More Classic 50's - Card & Scrapbook Layout

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's still Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store. You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We have been featuring group posts for the past week to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed any of the posts, just check back on the Blog for lots of eye candy. Today, we have 2 samples for  you from Design Team member, Jen Hartsgrove. 

Card 1:  Turning 50 and images from the 50's are so perfect for the card Jen created to celebrate this milestone birthday. She used the Fifties Soda Bar and the Fifties Phrases #1 dies to create a fabulous scene from the era where soda fountains were the rage. 

Her background designer paper is a great choice for "wallpaper". So much detail with this new die- check out the juke box on the counter! Don't you just love it!!!

This is the card inside view. 

Project 2:  Jen has been showing us quite a few layouts over the past couple of months. Check out our YouTube channel if you are a scrapbooker. All of our dies are so easy to add to any scrapbook layout. 

On this 8 x 8 layout Jen used the Fifties Diner and the Fifties Phrases #2 die. So perfect for the car hop they host each summer at her restaurant in Maine. How fun would that be for a 50's throwback! Her daughters and nieces are the car hop waitresses. 

The Diner die has lots of detail as well. Here is a close up photo. 

That's it for today's samples. We hope you have been enjoying the samples we have been creating using these new dies. The team has had so much fun using them in our card designs, 3D projects and scrapbook layouts.

Merry Christmas 8x8 Layout

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I decided to go with another layout this week, I had this picture just hanging out on my refrigerator for several years, and it needed a home!  I embellished my page using "North Pole Santa" and "Merry Christmas Phrase w/ Tree", they are both part of the latest release, "Christmas Part 2".

My green base cardstock is 8" x 8", and the red snowflake paper is 7.75" x 7.75".  I found papers in my stash that I thought matched well together and gave my layout a fun whimsical vibe.

You can find all my layout instructions over on the YouTube Channel!

Season's Greetings Mini Slimline Card

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  This week I am working with the "Holiday Fence" and "Season's Greetings" dies.  They are both part of the latest release, "Christmas Part 2".

I decided that a mini slimline card would pair perfectly with this adorable holiday fence.  My card panel is 5.75" x 3.25", my card frame and base are 6" x 3.5".  I created a night time winter snowy sky for my background using oxide inks and lots of splatter!

Cozy Winter Fireplace Layout

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  This week I am featuring the "Cozy Winter Fireplace" die, from the latest "Christmas Part 2" release.  There are 36 designs in this release, and they are all so adorable!

I created a 12 x 12 Christmas Layout, and embellished it with this cozy scene.  I have really enjoyed scrappin' again, and I have found the Cottage Cutz dies work so well with my pages.  

I prepared my page for future photos, and a title.  I also left an area to add vertical number stickers for the year I choose to document.   My photo mats are 2 - 6.5" x 4.5", 1 - 4" x 4" and my title space is 6.5" x 1.75".

Witching You A Happy Halloween

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  This week I'm using two of the designs from the latest "Halloween" release.  Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, so I was really excited to work with these dies.  

My card features the "Cute Witchy" die, along with the "Halloween Chair."  I had so much fun coloring this adorable witch and planning out her little outfit.

12 x 12 Vintage Christmas Layout - Jolly Santa Gnome

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I had so much fun last month making a scrapbook layout, that I made another this month!  This time I created a 12 x 12 page, featuring the "Jolly Santa Gnome."

I found some lovely coordinating vintage papers in my stash, I used them to assemble both my page layout and my die cut embellishments.

Christmas Puppies Slimline Card

Hey Krafty Friends, Jen from Katahdin Krafts, back with another  CottageCutz YouTube  video on the CottageCutz Channel.  I created my slimline card using several dies from the latest "Christmas Part 1" release.  I love all of these dies!  I'm a Christmas junkie, and love that I can get an early start!

I chose to make a slimline card for this weeks project because of the extra real estate it provided, the puppies needed to spread out in the living room to open their Christmas treats!

It was so exciting getting back to my original passion...scrapbooking!  I am way behind on my memory keeping, and when I saw this release, I knew instantly that they would make a great layout.
