Thinking of Plants

Hi, Lois here today, filling in for Mary, who will post on Monday.  I am so happy to show off part of a brand-new release from CottageCutz -- Botanical 2018.  There are 12 dies in this release, chock full of succulents, flowers, and llamas!  They should be in the CottageCutz store shortly.  The die I am featuring today is called Shelf w/Plants.

To start my card, I cut the pieces from a small scrap of white cardstock.

I colored the die-cut pieces while they were sitting on my sticky board.  This made it much easier because the pieces didn't move -- too much!  After I colored them (using the packaging for inspiration), I assembled the various images.  I used three different green markers for each set of leaves, which gave them a bit of dimension when they were assembled.

I then cut the cardstock for my base:

Cream cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

Patterned paper - 4" x 5 1/4"

I cut the oval using the largest of the Nested Wacky Stitched Ovals . . .

. . . and assembled my card base, adhering the patterned paper -- but not the oval..

I applied foam pop dots behind each of the assembled die-cut images and adhered them to the oval. 

I stamped the sentiment below the shelf, adhered foam pop dots behind the oval, and added the oval to the card base; and my card was finished.

CottageCutz dies used on my card are:

Owl Always Love You!

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

Hello it is Pam sharing with you today.  I am using one of the new release wedding dies that has a touch of fun to it!  Wooo.. doesn't love little owls?  I know they sure make a sweet card!

Designer Steps:

1.  Start by cutting out all the pieces using the Cottage Cutz Tandem Bike die. The card stock colors used were blue, black, yellow, brown, white, and green.   Shade your pieces and assemble

 2.  To make the background use the largest of the Cottage Cutz Nested Wacky Stitched Rectangle set for the white background.  Then use the largest of the Cottage Cutz Nested Wackey Stitched Oval set for the hills.

 3.  Stencil in the clouds and add a black strip for the road.  Add a dashed white line down the center of the road

4.  Use an A2 white card base and a slightly smaller piece of blue then a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of dotted DP. Mount the completed scene to the card front and add your sentiment
