Group Post Black Friday Release Dies (Day 4)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's 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 will have group posts for the next several days to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed our first 3 posts, you could see them here, here and here.  

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Marla Harris.  She created the cutest Christmas card using a combo of the Classic 50's release and the Christmas Part 2 Snowmen Friends die. 

Don't you love the appeal she achieved with the snowmen enjoying some Christmas music with the Jukebox in the background. She even added a guitar to complete the music look. It's a creative idea. Her snowflake background was created with a stencil and glitter glaze.

How cute would this be for the music or snowman lover in your life? And the non-traditional colors just add pizzazz to her card. 

Card 2: This next sample is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the Rollerskate and the Fifties Phrase #1 dies. A friend invited us to her 8-year-old daughter's birthday party, and she loves to roller skate. So, this card is perfect for her. 

My background paper is in a package of heavenly skies paper. I like the bokeh look and I thought it would work well for my card idea. I cut the skate and the "Let's Party" phrase in complementing colors. The stars are part of the fifties phrase die. 

Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Melinda Beltran. She created a treat box with a tent card base.  She is so innovative with the treat box ideas she brings us. This one is a perfect gift to give to the music lover.  

Here is a view with the box off the base. It's opened slightly opened and the treat box can be filled with their favorite treats as Melinda is showing here. You can check out Melinda's Blog to get all the measurements and step by step instructions of how she put this all together. 

She used the Classic Radio, Fifties Jukebox, Guitar, Music Notes & Records and Fifties Phrases #1 to complete her project.

Scene Building with the Strawberries and Bees Release

Marla here today, oh boy... have you been enjoying all the inspiration from the new "Strawberries and Bees" release?  I am so smitten with each and every die and I can't stop creating with them.  

What I personally love about this release is that it is perfect for scene building.  As you can see, I used bits and pieces from several different dies to create the sweetest summer scene.  I wanted to get as many of these super cute images into this scene as possible so I could really showcase how incredible this release is. I hope I did it justice. You let me know.  It also meant, I left little to no room for a sentiment on the outside of my card.  That's ok, because I made up for it on the inside.

You can see how I put this card together and how I added finishing touches to the inside when you head over to the CottageCutz YouTube Channel.  While you're there, don't forget to enter for a chance to win the "Honey Bee" die as an added bonus.  

Until then, I will leave you with a list of all of fabulous products I used to create my card for quick and easy shopping.  Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time....Marla
