Thank You Garden Flower and Urn Card

Hello crafty friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us for the Wednesday edition of the Blog. 

It's new release time!!! We have our annual Black Friday release available now in the online store. There are 19 different designs, and they can be used for all seasons.

We also have our Christmas 2023 release in the online store that has 40 designs. It's an old-fashioned Christmas theme. You can pick up the individual dies at 30% off for a limited time.
 

Today I am sharing a very quick, easy and pretty Thank You card created with some fantastic dies from the new Black Friday Cottage Cutz release. Here is what I created.
I made a top folding 5.5 x 5.5  square card. I love the larger size card as the sentiment is very big and bold!
I started by cutting out all my various dies in white cardstock. I went ahead and chalked the edges of my urn to give it some dimension and really make it look more like the concrete/cement urns you typically see.


I then colored the stems of the flowers I used with my green marker. I left the flower tips of them white. I then added some Stardust Stickles to them to give them a little touch of pizzazz. nI mounted the finished die cut onto some blue cardstock and then all that was mounted onto one of the stitched square scalloped eyelet dies.

I then cut out more of my blue cardstock and then added a piece of floral print paper as an additional mat layer.

I then cut the sentiment, Thank You out of the same dark blue cardstock and decided to add that to the top of my card. I then adhered everything to my card base and done! I think it turned out so pretty and love the big bold statement the sentiment makes.

Sentiment, Thank You

The Stitched Nested Scallop Square I used is out of stock. Here is a very good, close alternative.






Well, that about covers it for today.  Until the next time, have a wonderfully crafty day!

Fresh Spring Floral Gratitude

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day! It's Janet here with another video tutorial. This time I'm showing off one of the largest dies in the new Spring 2018 Release called Fresh Spring Floral. Others on the DT have featured this gorgeous floral die but this is my twist on it.
My thank you card includes the Expressions Plus Grateful die at the bottom. Inside, I used the Thanks Expressions die. All three dies are available in the store.

This is a pretty simple A2 card base in black card stock. The black background makes the pastel colors in the wreath pop. The white frame was created with an embossing pen and white embossing powder. The raised glossy frame gives it an almost nostalgic look, like the old fashioned photo albums with white writing. The Grateful Expressions Plus sentiment is cut from textured red foil card stock to add a little glamour without competing with the wreath.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch the card construction tutorial. As always, just click on the YouTube thumbnail below. If you have trouble using the thumbnail, you can also follow this link directly: Fresh Floral Gratitude Video Tutorial


That's it from me today. Thanks for visiting us!

Nest with eggs

Hi, Janja here!

Each spring, most of the migratory birds return from wintering in their rearing area. We will see most of the nests just in this and the following two months.
And so for today I prepared nest with eggs on thank you card.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Nest With Eggs, Songbirds, Spring Greenery, Thank You
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- patterned paper: 4.72 x 4.72" (12 x 12 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- corner punch

From white and colored cardstock cut out with dies a nest with eggs and greenery. Coat eggs with glossy accents to get the shine. On some green twigs apply pearl dots. Also prepare birds cutouts and add "Thank you". Cut them out twice.


While the eggs and dots are drying, prepare a card base and the background from patterned paper. Cut off one corner with corner punch.


Assemble the card.


Thank you for coming over. Have a nice day.

Center-Step Mushrooms

Hi, Lois here today.  If you have followed my blog at all, you know that I love making fun-fold cards. One of my favorite fun-folds is a center-step card, one of which I have for you today.  I'm using more of the In the Forest 2016 release from CottageCutz dies.


Supplies for this card are:

Green cardstock cut 10 1/2" x 5 1/4"
Chocolate cardstock cut 3 1/2" x 4" and 3/4" x 5"
Cream cardstock cut 3 3/8" x 3 7/8" and 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Scraps of green, red, gray, and brown cardstock
Distress ink - Bundled Sage, Tea Dye, Walnut Stain, Fired Brick, Weathered Wood
Sponge applicators
Polka-dot patterned paper

To create the card base, lay the green card base into a paper trimmer longways at 3/4".  Cut a slit from the 1" mark to the 6 1/4" mark.  Move the card base to the other side and repeat.  Score outside the slits at the 1", 2" and 6 1/4" mark.  Score between the slits at the 5 1/4" mark.



Fold at the score lines with a mountain fold at the 1" mark, valley fold at the 2" mark, mountain fold at the 5 1/4" mark, and mountain fold at the 6 1/4" mark, creating the stepped base of the card.


Cut the various small pieces using the dies, using adhesive sheets behind the delicate greenery and sentiment for ease of attaching to the card.  I did not need the cattails on the grass pieces, so I trimmed them off.





Sponge the lower edge of the cream panels with green ink.   Layer the cream panels to the chocolate panels and adhere to the card base.  Color the die cut pieces with distress ink as you desire and adhere the large mushroom, one of the small mushrooms, snails, and greenery to the cream panel as shown on the photo.  Adhere the grass pieces, other two mushroom, mouse and hedgehog to the small cream strip, as shown.  Place the sentiment in the upper right-hand corner.

Cut two strips of patterned paper 1/2" x 4" and adhere to the side panels as shown.  You can place a piece of cream cardstock on the inside if you wish.

Completed card.

Thank You

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here and I am sharing with you one of the new release CottageCutz for April.  How do you like all the new "Flourish N Flowers" released this month.  You can see the whole release here. The design team have shared some awesome projects.  I'm sharing another clean and simple card.


Closer look at the card.


Here is how I put my card together:

I used the Stick It by Ken Oliver to put on the back of my paper that I am going to die cut.  This paper is great to use with intricate dies so that you will have adhesive on the back of your die.  I like using this, because when I use glue it can be messy.  I cut the pieces to the size I want and take the film off of one side of the adhesive.  I then die cut my die and then it is already to adhere to my card.


I sponged the ink onto my cut pieces to make my background.


Here are my pieces already for me to die cut my CottageCutz dies. I also used some gold shimmer spritz onto the sponged background and the card base to give it some dimension.  After I cut my dies, I adhered them to the Stitched Rounded Rectange die piece and adhered this to my card base and added some sequins.


I told you it was clean and simple.  Don't forget to join the CottageCutz challenge...click here for all the details.  Please come back and see us again soon!
