Slimline Birthday Puppies Card

Happy Tuesday Cottage Cutz Friends!
Melinda here with you, and today I am sharing a fun and cheerful slimline birthday card. Here's a look at my finished project. I used the sweet little Christmas Puppies Dies from this year's Christmas release.
My card is pretty straightforward. It is a side folding slimline card. I started with a white card base. I cut a piece of paper to 8 x 9. I folded it in half at the 4" mark along the 8" length. I then cut a piece of red cardstock paper at 3.75 x 7.75. After I added that to my card base, I cut out the slimline circle windows base out. I then cut out a piece of the cute dotted patterned paper from doodlebug. I used some foam tape to give the slimline circle window base some lift. I then went to work cutting out the cute little puppies from some plain white cardstock. I then colored them with my markers.

Here's a closeup of the Happy title and the cute puppies in the first - top circle. The Happy title comes from the Fifties Phrase 1 die. I cut those pieces out in plain white and then used my markers to color the backgrounds.


Here is another closeup showing the cute puppy on the second window. I colored him with my markers and then put the paws along the rim.

In this final closeup, I have two more of the cute puppies. I colored them with my markers along with the Birthday sentiment. As for the hearts, I cut out the Whimsical Hearts Slimline die. You get a TON of hearts as part of the negative spaces. I love using them. I colored them with my same markers.

Strawberry Fields Forever




Happy Wednesday, my crafty friends, Marla here with another card project and CottageCutz YouTube video. Today I have this berry sweet slimline card to share with you.  I mixed and match products from the "Strawberries & Bees" release to create a mini paradise for this sweet mouse.   Isn't it just a yummy place for a mouse to live?

As we wind down from the dog days of summer, many of you are beginning to long for cooler weather.  I am a summer loving girl, so it always makes me sad to know that summer has moved by so fast.  For those of you who love the winter season the Scrapping Cottage has you covered.  All of their Christmas dies are currently on sale for a limited time as they celebrate Christmas in July.  You can shop the sale here    Until then, I will leave with a list of supplies I used on my summer loving card for easy shopping.

Until next time.... Marla

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

Here's Your Sign






Marla here with another CottageCutz YouTube Video Tutorial.  My card today features the "Easel Sign w/ Flowers" from the "Sweet Treats" release and the 'Botanical Garden 2" die.  This cute sign has recently been paired perfectly with the "Cake Shop" and the "Candy Cart" dies. For my card, I wanted to move it from the store front to the center of attention on my floral birthday slimline card.

You can see how this card came together over on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel and enter the GIVEAWAY for a chance to win this die.  I hope you'll join me. In the meantime, here are the CottageCutz products I used on my card today.  Until next time.....

Looking for something a little different for a Baby Shower card?  Look no further than the Koala's die from the Australian Friends release.  The card I created is perfect for a baby boy but you can also add the flowers for a baby girl card.  You can see how this card came together over on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel.
