Easter Egg Hunt

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand-new release of dies in the online store. It's our Flowers & More release. The individual dies are currently on sale for 30% off. This release has what we are calling "simple cuts". Meaning not as many pieces to put together so they assemble quickly.


They are so perfect for the many card making occasions that we all have. Birthdays, Thank You, Sympathy, Mother's Day or even a scrapbook layout just to name a few. For your viewing pleasure today, I am featuring the new Fence w/Flower Garland die to create an Easter card. 

Design Steps:

I started my card by stenciling clouds on white cardstock with tumbled glass, broken china, spun sugar and mowed lawn distress inks. I blended the colors directly on the white card base.

White card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Next, I die cut the fence & flowers with different colored cardstocks. I also used the Easter Egg Hunt (Spring 2020 release) die for my Bunny & phrases 
I secured these images to the card base with dimensional adhesive and clear drying glue. 
I added the Easter Egg Hunt phrase and colored eggs to complete the front of my card.  The colored eggs are from the Mr. Peter Rabbit die (Spring 2018 release). 
I wanted to finish off the inside of my card as well. Since my theme is an Easter egg hunt, I thought  I would show a bunny that collected the Easter eggs (lol)!!! So I used the Juggling Spring Bunny (2020 Spring Release)die and a bunny kisses phrase - that's from the Bunny Kisses & Easter Wishes (2019 Spring Release) die. 
Found some designer paper in a water-colored pack that I bought from Hobby Lobby. I thought it would work nicely for the background. I attached the phrase words with clear drying glue and the bunny with dimensional adhesive. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you a way to use the new Fence w/Flower Garland die. It's a nice compliment to so many other CottageCutz dies.  See you next Saturday!!!

Happy Easter Blessings

Hello!  This is Sukie with my design team post.  I have an Easter card to share created with a couple of irresistible bunnies from the Spring die release.
I cut out the bunnies from the Spring Parade and Juggling Spring Bunny die sets using kraft card stock. The grass border is from the Spring Grass die set.  An Easter sentiment was stamped on some basic white card stock.
The papers I selected are the perfect Spring themed patterns.  I used the Circle Set die to cut out 2 circles on the top layer of my card base.  A smaller circle from the same die set was used to cut out the sentiment and inked on the edges.  The grass border was slightly trimmed for a better fit on my card.
To build my card, the 2 patterned papers were adhered on a solid card background.  The grass border was laid along the bottom edge of my card.
Next, each of the bunnies were nestled inside the circle cut outs creating a whimsical design.
My card was finished by adding the Easter sentiment circle in the upper corner of my card.
Here are the die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Juggling Spring Bunny


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday day edition of the Blog.

The new release of Spring dies are available in the online store and 25% off for a limited time. There are 27 new dies in the release and each one is cuter than the next. They are perfect for your Easter and Spring card making.

Today, I am featuring the new Juggling Spring Bunny and created another Easter card. With all that's happening in the world right now, I am going to send more cards this year. I think it will help brighten someone's spirits to receive some happy mail. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

This week I started my card with a sketch. As I have said so many times before, having a layout in mind at the start of my card is always a big boost for me. It jump starts my creative thought process. I love working with the sketches that are out there in the online world. That way I just choose the colors and designer paper and I am good to go.

I liked this week's sketch #793 from Splitcoaststampers. It is a bit different of a layout, but I thought my bunny would look cute sitting atop the half circle #3.
I wanted a fun background paper for the bunny and chose this one from my collection. I thought the pattern would be broken up enough with the 2 half circles of the sketch.

Rich Razzleberry Card Base: 41/4" x 5 1/2"
Designer Paper: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Circle & Stitched Circle dies: 5 & 6th largest
Element 4 of sketch: 5/8" - used bermuda bay cardstock


Next, I cut the bunny and eggs in cardstock colors to match the designer paper. 
I decided to use a punny sentiment and stamped in rich razzleberry ink. I started card assembly using double sided tape as my adhesive.. 

I attached the bunny to the top semi-circle using double sided tape and the eggs are attached with glue dots. 
To complete my card I added some bermuda bay enamel dots. And I have another Easter card for the stash. 

Well that's it for me for this week. Hope you get some craft time in this weekend or even during the week if your job is considered non-essential and your required to stay at home. It's definitely a way to relax and take your mind off all the corona-virus stories. See you next Saturday!

Latte Love

Happy Valentine's Day!  It's Jeanne today and I have a Valentine for you.  Actually, I sent this one to my youngest daughter - a gal who loves her lattes! (I also enclosed a Starbucks gift card.)
This card uses the same color palette as last week's card and some of the same elements.
I cut my pieces from various colors of cardstock using the new Juggling Spring Bunny and Spring Lamb & Chick dies, and the older Coffee & Cocoa Warm Wishes die.  I assembled all the pieces.
You may recognize this striped panel from last week - it's the panel I cut from the middle of my base panel!  I used the Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles (middle size) to cut a white panel.
I stamped my sentiment on it using black ink.  I cut a panel 4.25 x 5.5 inches from white and embossed it with large dots.  The white was too plain for me and I felt this gave the card some visual interest.  The large dots contrast nicely with the smaller stripes.
I assembled it all on an A2 side fold card base.
