Best of Luck

Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I have a tag for you instead of a card. I used different dies from the previous release and made a tag you cab send to a friend to wish them luck.

For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Be My Valentine Puppies, Lucky Leprechaun, Shamrock & Valentine Scottie, St. Patrick's Day Cupcake, St. Patrick's Day Phrase & More, Mail Tag Set),
- Distress Inks (Black Soot, Mowed Lawn, Forest Moss) and Oxides (Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade)
- white card stock and watercolor paper for die cuts,
- silver pigment ink,
- gold pigment ink,
- white pigment ink,
- gold color spray,
- black pen,
- embossing tools,
- hole punch,
- white pen,
- heat gun,
- string,
- paper glue,
- adhesive foam pads.

First I cut and colored the heart.

Then I prayed it with gold and dried it with the heat gun.

Next I cut and colored the shamrocks and other pieces.

I used white pigment ink and white pen to make it a bit more realistic.

I added the shamrocks a little dimension using the embossing tools.

I wrote the sentiment with black pen.

 I punched a hole into the heart and glued a golden ring around it.

And then I just arranged the shamrocks and other pieces on the heart I used adhesive foam pad for the sentiment.

That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.


Cottage Cutz dies I used for this project:

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a card for my guest designer post.  My card was created with dies from the Valentine's release featuring the darling scottie!

I cut out the oversized sentiment in two different shades of green from the St. Patrick's Day Phrases & More die set.  The sentiments were adhered together and offset slightly.  The two colors give the sentiment some depth and dimension.

I also pieced together the Shamrock & Valentine Scottie and the hat from the St. Patrick's Day Cupcake die.  The hat on the scottie was bit oversized for my card so I cut out a tiny bow from the Lovebug Bee & Ladybug die set instead.

Once I selected the colors for my A2 card base, I used a circle from the Stitched Circle Set to create a window.  A smaller circle was also die cut.

The layers were adhered on my card base.  Next, I  placed the die cut circle inside of the window ensuring it was centered.

The sentiment was added to my card at an angle for a whimsical look and anchored with the hat.

Here are all of the dies I used on my card available in the shop:
