CAS - Rise & Shine Hello!


Hello crafty friends! It’s Janet here to share with you a CAS (Clean & Simple) card featuring dies from the new Rise & Shine Collection and the Spring Collection. Before I forget, did you know that the Rise & Shine Collection is on sale for 25% off? Here’s the link to check out all the great breakfast and food related dies in this release: Rise & Shine Collection

So back to my card. When I first saw the Rise & Shine Collection, I was immediately attracted to the strong and colorful graphic in the Rise & Shine Phrase die. It’s big, it’s bold and it’s such a beautiful classic graphic image. I have used it today to make a hello card that will tell someone special I’m thinking about them. Since it has a farm theme, I kept the colors simple: green, craft, white, blue, red, with highlights of yellow and orange. I found that the Oval Doily and Frame die was a perfect backdrop to the die. Inside, I used the craft doily portion as the mat for the wonderful one cut Butterfly Hello die.


Today’s video is a short tutorial to show you how this card is made. I hope you’ll visit and let me know what you think. Just click on the thumbnail below or on this direct link to watch: Video Link 


Thanks for checking out today’s project. It’s always fun to be here with you.

Congratulations, Baby Bear!

Hi, Lois here with my Monday card.  One of my favorite kinds of die-cuts are sentiments.   They can take a pretty card a step up with some POP!  Today's card is one of those times.  The card is rather simple, but the sentiment glued on top of the doily adds a bit more interest.


This baby bear from CottageCutz is adorable.  And actually you can make either a boy or a girl bear with the die.  It also has a sleep cap, which looks cute in blue.

To make my card I cut a piece of heavyweight pink cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored it at 4 1/4".  The white matting panel is 4" x 5 1/4", and the dotted pink background panel is 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".


Next I cut the various die-cuts from pink, white, cream, and kraft cardstock.


Using a few  Copic markers and some pink ink, I added a bit of dimension to the die-cuts.


All that was left was to construct my card.  I popped the bear and cloud up on foam pop-dots.

Bluebell Shadows

Hi, Lois here again with another card using one of the new Expressions Plus dies.   In case you haven't seen them, be sure to check all 35 of the words in the CottageCutz store.   And by the way, there is a Memorial Day sale going on until Wednesday.  You can save up to 40%.   My card today uses one of the new Expressions Plus dies - thanks, as well as a couple of other dies.


To start my card, I cut a panel of heavyweight white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored it at 4 1/4".  Then I cut a piece of navy cardstock 4" x 5 1/4" and a piece of patterned paper 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".


I learned  a little trick on Facebook several weeks ago.  If you are cutting a sentiment die-cut, just run a strip of your cardstock through your Xyron sticker maker . . .


. . . and then cut your sentiment.  It will now have glue on the back of it and be much easier to adhere to your card.


I then cut all the rest of my die-cuts for the card.  I planned to make a shadow for my CottageCutz Springtime Bluebell Flowers, so I cut two of them -- one in pale blue and one in navy.


I took  the inner oval from the CottageCutz Oval Doily and Frame die and sponged on some pale blue ink.  This gave a little more dimension to the center section.



Then I was ready to construct my card.  I glued down the doily pieces and adhered the sentiment at the top.  I then glued down the navy bluebells and offset the pale blue ones on top, creating a "shadow" effect.

In the color of lavender

Hi, Janja here!

Stunning scent of Mediterranean bush is expanding far and wide. Tiny flowers with its violet blue color catches the eye. Lavender is fully blooming.
I tried to catch some of its color and romance on a birthday card.
Let's see how it is made.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- patterned paper: two sheets in size of - 5.24 x 5.24" (13,3 x 13,3 cm) and four sheets in size of - 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white and violet cardstock
- ribbon

We prepare two cutouts from a white cardstock with the die oval doily & frame. Also cut out two oval holes in a patterned paper with the die in which we will later insert white ovals.


From a white cardstock cut out birds with the die bird trio and 4 lace borders with the die fancy floral lace border.
For more contrast cut birds also from violet cardstock and the basic of two flowers. The upper part of the flowers and leaves is cut out from a white cardstock with the dies: doodle flowers set 1 , doodle flowers set 2, and leaves & stems.


Glue patterned papers with double-sided adhesive tape between themselves and insert white ovals in oval holes. On a card base we attach a ribbon.


Assemble the card.


Look on a spread card with a space for greetings and an inscription happy birthday.

I hope you have been inspired by my card today.
