Summer is Here!

Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I combined the Easel, Build an Ice Cream Cone, and Ice Cream Truck die sets from the Sweet Treats Collection. Where's the ice cream truck, you ask? My initial design plan for this card didn't quite come together the way I saw it in my head. Then I remembered... there's a beautiful white canvas on the inside of the card! And voila -- the perfect spot for a fun surprise when you open the card!

2 Cupcakes Card and a little extra

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends!

Melinda here with you on this Terrific Tuesdie! For those in the USA and who observe Memorial Day, I hope you had an wonderful holiday! Today I am sharing a quick and simple card featuring more dies from the New Sweet Treats Release! Talk about sweet! This set is over the top adorable! Here is what I created.

Here's a look at my completed card. I started with a horizontal top folding card base. I used some white cardstock for that. I then cut a piece of some colorfully cute patterned paper I had in my stash. I cut it to 4x5.25 for the mat.

Next I went to work on my cupcakes. I cute them out of white cardstock and then colored them with my markers. i then mounted them onto a yellow cardstock mat and then mounted those onto the Eyelet Stitched square mats.

I then added some of the adorable little gumballs, jelly beans and candies from the Candy & Gumballs die set. I then also Dressed up my cupcake tops with some stickles. I used the stardust color so that it would play off the colors underneath it.

Here is a closeup of my other cupcake.

Here is the new sweet treats release.

You know how it is when you are working and you have parts and pieces strewn about your table and then....SHAZAM! Inspiration strikes!....lol! Can you guess which pieces are which? Well you have a week to think about it. I will be putting this sweet little fella on a project and then sharing the pieces I used to err...well...

Well that about covers it for today! Until the next time, have a wonderfully craft-die day!

Easy Slider Card with No Special Dies

Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I'll show you how I made this fun slider card. I don't drink so when I say "Make it a double", my husband knows this is what I'm talking about. LOL

To create this card, I've used elements from three different sets from the new Sweet Treats collection. The main ice cream cup and larger scoop of ice cream is from the Ice Cream Sundae die set. That set includes a dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry, but I always think of ice cream sundaes as having a cherry on top, so I took the cherry from the Cupcake with Cherry set. The scale fits perfectly. In order to have the second scoop hidden initially, it needs to be smaller than the large scoop. I used one of the many scoops of ice cream from the Build An Ice Cream Cone set. This creates the perfect double-scoop ice cream cup!

I die cut all the elements from solid color card stock but to make the ice cream extra special, I dusted it with Nuvo Shimmer Powder and spritz it with my homemade mica mist in snow white. That gives it all the delicious color variation of natural ice cream as well as a beautiful shimmer. I used Diamond Glaze on the cherry to give it that glossy shine. To finish the card, I used my Dymo label to create the custom sentiment and stamped "pull here" on an arrow so the card recipient knows this is an interactive card.

Theme Your Cake Shoppe And Use it All Year Long!

Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I'll show you how I took the Cake Shoppe from the new Sweet Treat release and combined it with the Spooky Camper set to create two different cards. The Cake Shoppe is super versatile and can be themed so you can use it all year long.

For both cards, I die cut from solid color cardstock. It's a great way to use up all your scraps and saves you from having to color little pieces. For the smaller pieces, I used a glue pen to apply adhesive. This allows you to get glue precisely where you want it. I like to die cut a lot of elements so I can mix and match and have a lot of choices when I go to create my card. I had so many leftover pieces, I made a second card!

This first card is a Halloween themed cake shoppe.

This card converts the cake shoppe to a haunted house.

On this second card, I used some of the Cake Shoppe elements differently. The small windows and front porch step I used as bricks. The greenery in the pots I used as bushes. And I combined more of the Spooky Camper elements to complete my haunted house. I had so much fun tucking all the spooky elements here and there. I especially love the cat that's hiding behind the pumpkin. :)

Sweet Treat Release Soda Fountain Sundae Die

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends!

Melinda here with you on this Terrific Tuesdie! Today I am sharing a project featuring dies from the SUPER SWEET New Sweet Treats Release! Talk about sweet! This set is over the top adorable! Here is what I created.

This adorable Double Fountain Sundae card.

I started by cutting out all my pieces in white cardstock. I used my chalks to dust some blue chalk along the edges of the fountain cup.

I colored in the heart with my pink marker and then applied it.

Here's a photo that shows the difference when you add some of that shimmery chalk over the top of the colored piece. The shimmery one is the one on the right. I love adding my shimmery chalk to pieces like this It gives it some extra sparkle without any mess.

Here's a closer look at the finished sundaes. I added some stickles to the white decorative swirl pieces. They are just so cute. I added a dew drop to the center of each heart and some more stickles to the top pink ice cream scoop. I layered both onto a double stitched oval die.

I added all that onto an A4 top folding card base.

Here's a closer look at the ribbon bow I added to the top. I don't have a sentiment on this one yet. Not sure if it will be a birthday card or something else.

Here is one last look at this adorable die!

ACT FAST!!! This new release is available for a whopping 50% off if you buy the entire SWWEEETTTT collection!
