Polka dot Formal Gown

Hi all. Vladka here! 

Do you feel sometimes like you are not what you really are? That you are talking something, but thinking something else? It is important to be “who and what you want”. I just could not leave this Coco Chanel sentiment aside. I needed some strong words to combine with beautiful red dress.

But I wanted even more, I wanted special dress, something unusual and so I »sewed« red evening dress with dots. Polka dot is not typical for evening dress, but it is something special. I used two dies: Formal Gown and Spring Label. Sentiment was created in Word.

This is it for today. Have a great day and don´t forget to be yourself!

Best Wishes to the Bride and Groom & Video

6 x 6 Easel Wedding Card

Hello everyone, Cheryl here today with a Wedding Easel Card I made for the Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful CottageCutz dies. Some of these are from the New Wedding Release found here.

For the front of my card I used the CottageCutz Bella Spring Wreath ,I cut it out in cream card stock, and then dusted it in Antique Linen. Next I used the CottageCutz Elegant Veil & Top Hat, and my video shows how I did these.

 Copic colors I used are

RV11, and RV34 Flowers

100Black &BV29 Slate for top hat

C5 band on top hat

G24 Leaves

 Lastly I cut the  CottageCutz Expressions "Bride & Groom" in a black shiny card stock. I also used the CottageCutz Fancy Floral Lace Border along the right side of the front.

 Next for the inside I used the CottageCutz  Bella Spring Corner , it was cut in cream card stock and dusted with antique linen. Then I used the CottageCutz Spring Label for holding up the easel part of my card.For this I did the same as all the other cream pieces, but added some Really Reasonable Ribbon seam binding around it, and then made bows, and added them to each side with flowers and leaves. I used CottageCutz Expressions "Best Wishes" die cut for the sentiment on this tag.

The lace I used is vintage.

Floral Thank You

Happy Wednesday!

Kathy here with you and today I have a decorated gift bag with a matching mini notecard and envelope to show you using lots of beautiful CottageCutz Dies!  Here's the complete set!

I found these little White Paper Sacks (1 lb. - 3.5"x 2" x 6.75") at Michaels that I thought would be cute decorated for a gift!  All I did was add the Springtime Floral Die cut in white and colored with chalk inks, a piece of Fancy Floral Lace Border cut in white and a bow with a pearl.  Here's a close up of the die cut on the bag.

I made a little notecard with white card stock that measures 2 3/8" square so it would fit in the Elegant Envelope.  I decorated the notecard with the Spring Label Die cut with white card stock and colored the same way as the bag.  I then added the Thank You Die cut with white card stock to the label.  Here's a close up of the notecard.

For the envelope, I cut the Elegant Envelope Die with white card stock and decorated it with the Flower w/Cutouts (flower) and Plumeria & Leaves (leaves) all colored with chalk inks.  I added some pearls and a little Diamond Stickles around the pearl in the flower center.  On the back flap of the envelope, I add a small piece cut from the Springtime Floral Die that I colored to match the other pieces.  Here's a little close up for you!

I LOVE this little envelope!  It's perfect for little notecards to go with gifts!

These are the dies I used on my project.
