Miss You Valentine

Hello Friends 

It is Pam creating with you today! 

I have another Valentine to share.  I usually send out Valentines to family and a couple of close friends.  So I am just finishing up with a few more.  The one I am showing you today is featuring the Garden Window die from the Black Friday release and an older die Parlor Table & Chairs.  The card is a little larger in size then my typical A2.


Design Steps:

1.  Use a white card base measuring when folded 4 1/2 x 6 1/2, designer paper 4 3/8 x 5 3/8, gray card stock 1 1/2 x 4 3/8 and a white strip 4 3/8 x 1/4
2.  Glue down the designer paper then add gray at the bottom (I ran the gray through a cover plate to get the added texture) last glue down the little white strip
  • Using the Garden Window die and the Parlor Table and Chairs cut them out of black card stock.
  • Using the Garden Window die cut out the cat in gray.  
  • Using the Hanging Pots die cut out the pot in red and the plant in green.  
  • Cut pink card stock for the curtains using the Spring Window with Peekers.  
  • And the last piece is the little envelope which I cut in white with some red hearts the die I used was the Love Letters die.  
  • All the dies I used are still available
4.  Cut a piece of blue card stock for behind the window.  Glue the blue to the back of the window.  Place the curtains in the window.  To make them fit I cut them in the middle and you will also notice they are short so I made a little valence which I ran through my crimping tool
5.  Glue the window to the card front placement as shown above.  Place the cat in the window 
6.  Add the table and chairs as shown above
7.  Add the plant and letter to the table and three little hearts to the valence.  Last place your sentiment and your card is complete

Hippity Hoppity

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog. 

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. The individual dies are currently at 30% off. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there.

And the dies don't have to be used strictly for Spring or Easter. The team has done Valentine, Birthday and Thinking of You cards with these new dies. Take a look back on the Blog for lots of ideas.

Today for your viewing pleasure, I have a whimsical card for Easter. I used the new Spring Window w/Peekers  and the Spring Sentiments dies. I thought this card would be perfect for the two little ones who live next door to me. So, let's get started on some details of how I created my card. 

Design Steps:

Since I knew the image die I was going to use, I looked for some background designer paper. I knew I had some with a brick type look to it. I selected this one because I liked the color of the brick, so I paired it with the matching cardstock and then a jade cardstock base. 

Jade card base: 4 1/2" x 5 3/4"
Cinnamon layering panel: 4 3/8" x 5 5/8"
Cinnamon designer paper: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
Next, I cut the window and bunny with colored cardstock that coordinated with the designer paper and card base. 
I cut out my hippity - hoppity phrase in the jade cardstock. I cut it 2x in jade and then once in white foam sheet and glued together with Art Glitter glue.  
Now that my elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the designer paper to the cinnamon layer with double sided tape. Then the window is secured with dimensional adhesive.  I wanted it lifted off the panel to give it more depth. 
I removed the backing from the white foam and attached the hippity hoppity phrase to my card. Then attached the image panel to the jade card base to complete my card. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new die. See you next Saturday!

Happy Easter

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Friday edition of the Blog.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The Spring Release with 20 new designs is in the online store. The individual dies are currently at 30% off. There is a nice combination of both religious and whimsical designs. So perfect for all card makers out there. 

And the dies don't have to be used strictly for Spring or Easter. The team has done Valentine, Birthday and Thinking of You cards with these new dies. Take a look back on the Blog for lots of ideas.

And because it's President's Day weekend, we have a sale going on with up to 60% off selected dies. So, check out the store early for best selections.

Today, I have for your viewing pleasure a card for Easter featuring the new Spring Window w/Peekers (30% off) using just the bunny image and also an older die Fresh Spring Floral. You can pick up this older die for 50% off. 

I cut the wreath in a soft green shade of cardstock. I decorated it with eggs using the new Spring Chickee in Basket die. Cut the little bunny in a gray cardstock and stamped my Easter sentiment and framed it with the Pierced Wide Rectangle die. 

Looks like that one isn't available any longer, but you can easily make a frame with the Pierced Rectangle or Stitched Rectangle die. Simply cut a piece of cardstock 3 3/4" by 4 3/4" and use the largest of either of these dies.  Center the die on your cardstock and run through your die cutting machine. It will make a nice frame for you.

That's my sample for today. See you tomorrow with another Easter card idea.

Easter Peekers

 Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you on this fine Thursday.  I hope you all are doing well.  I am continuing with making my Easter cards using our New Spring release.  Today I am using Spring Windows w/Peekers.  Stacey,  a friend,  that teaches card classes at a local store made a really cute card using this sketch.  I loved it so much I thought I would give it a try.  Thanks for the inspiration Stacey.


Design Steps:

1.  Use a mini slimline base measuring 6 1/2 x 6 1/4 folded in half.  Cut a piece of Flower DP, Checked DP and pink card stock 6 x 3.  In the flower DP use the 4th from the largest Pierced Circle to cut the hole. In the pink card stock cut the hole using the 5th from the largest Pierced Circle making sure they line up

2.  Glue the pink behind the flower DP and then glue the checked DP behind the pink card stock (make sure not to glue to closely to the hole so you can slip in the bunny and chicks)

3.  Using the Spring Windows w/Peekers cut out the bunny and chick on: grey, yellow, orange, black, pink and blue card stock.  Color in the eyes with a fine tip black maker and add the white dots to the bunny's eyes with a white gel pen.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue
4.  Glue in the chick on the right first then add the bunny and finally the chick on the left.  Add the little paws and chick feet
5.  To decorate the top left of the circle cut out blue flowers and greenery using the Spring Gnome Cottage die.  Glue them to the card as shown below and then add your sentiment

Spring is Here

Happy Monday everyone and Spring is in the air… I am happy to be here and sharing a new card using the one of the new release dies called Spring Window w/Peekers
I used sand colored card stock to cut my windows and decided I wanted more fun bright colors for my curtains so pink and purple it is. So I shucked the red…
I create a slimline shaped card simply by cutting my white cardstock to 3.5x8.25 to give it a longer look

I added my sentiment and plopped a touch of greenery to finish it off.   Right now you don’t want to miss this amazing sale!  Check it out…
