Kitty Valentine

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today with another Valentine's card!  I love this sweet kitty and had to make her grey like my sweet, old grey kitty, Andreya.
I started with an A2 (5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch) card base in Real Red, a piece of patterned paper cut to 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and a heart die cut using the largest of the Stitched Hearts dies.
Next, I cut out the cat and small heart using the patterned paper and two shades of grey - Basic Grey and Smoky Slate.
I used Smoky Slate ink and a sponge dauber to add some depth to the edges.  I colored the ears pink and nose black using Copic markers.  Then I assembled the cat.
I put an  adhesive sheet on the back of the red cardstock and die cut the sentiment.
Finally, I assembled the card.  Since the sentiment die also cut out a little red bow, I thought that would be the perfect finishing touch for my sweet kitty.  You can see it in the final card.

Friends

Hi!

It's Anja here. My inspiration for today
's card were little kittens that we currently have at home. They are so cute and like to cuddle a lot. So I made a card with cats on it. They are chatting like friends always do.


I used:
- Cottage Cutz Dies (Friends Phrase, Kitty with Spring Chicks, Sweet Spring Kitty, Flowerpot Mini, Springtime Window, Grass Trees & Vines, Spring Bunny w/Flowers),
- Distress Inks (Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain, Wild Honey, Black Soot, Pumice Stone, Scattered Straw),
- Distress Oxides (Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Worn Lipstick),
- white card base (20 x 16 cm),
- white paper (19,8 x 15,8 cm and 19,5 x 15,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- Nuvo Crystal Drops (Dandelion Yellow),

- adhesive foam pads,
- embossing folder,
- glue,

- black and white pen.

First I die cut all the pieces. Both cats and the window are rather big, that's why I needed to cut them first and then adjust the size of the card base. I colored the pieces with Distress Inks and Oxides. I used blending foams for adding color. I also used little make up sponge applicator to add stripes on both cats.








I finished the flowers with some Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Then I cut the card base which is larger than usual (21 x 16 cm). I also cut two larger white rectangles. I cut a hole in the smaller one (for the window) and embossed it with an embossing folder to make it look like the outside of the house. I lightly used Scattered Straw Distress Ink on top to add some color. I also added red Oxide ink around the edges of the middle sized rectangle.


When I had all the pieces finished I started to glue them together. I started with the cat behind the window. I glued the embossed paper with adhesive foam pads. And then added all the other elements on top.





And for the end, one of my cute inspirations. The other two were to fast for me and my camera :)


Have a nice and sunny Sunday.

Spring Scene with Cute Animals


Hi everyone! It's Anja here and this is my first post on the Cottage Cutz blog. I'm very honored and happy to be able to share my work with you for the next six months.

For my first post I decided to combine a few different dies and made a spring scene with some cute animals.




I used:
- white card stock base (13x34 cm, folded at 8,5 cm and 25,5 cm)
- white card stock strip (4x36 cm, folded at 8,5 cm and 25,7 cm)
- white paper for die cuts
- Distress Ink pads: Peeled paint, Mowed lawn, Barn Door, Shabby Shutters, Stormy Sky, Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo, Weathered Wood, Tea Dye, Pumice Stone
- patterned paper (12,6x16,6 cm, 2x 12,6x8,3 cm)
- white and black pen
- paper glue

First I cut all the little elements from white paper.


Then I colored them with Distress Inks and glued them together. I made the eyes with black pen and bunny and mouse ears and nose with white pen.


I then folded the white card stock base at 8,5 and 25,5 cm and glued on some patterned paper. I applied some Peeled Paint Distress Ink on the edges of patterned paper.


Then I colored the sky and grass with a sponge and Distress Inks. And glued all the pieces together.



In the end I made a strip that holds the card closed. I cut tree stitched squares and decorated them with the cute little snail that goes well with the patterned paper.

Happy Easter

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you two Easter cards created with Spring CottageCutz collection of dies.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Easter bunny & chicks, spring bunny with flowers, build an Easter egg, stitched circle set
- white cardstock for card base
- patterned paper
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress ink pad Spiced Marmalade
- Color Box pigment ink pad Frost White

Cut a circle with the largest die from the stitched circle set.
For card base, fold cardstock in half. Mount the die on cardstock, so that the upper part is slightly sticking out over the edge and cut. Glue circles to each other to obtain an easel card base.


From patterned paper also cut out two circles. Use eighth die in a row from the middle of the set. Stamp sentiment Happy Easter.


Cut out Easter bunny with chicks. Shadow all elements and compose them.



Attach patterned paper on white card base. To finish the card, attach all the elements as shown to a card base using foam pads.



On another card with kitty I added some Easter eggs. 


Supplies:
- white card base: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,8 x 14 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4 x 5 " (10,2 x 13,2 cm)
