Watering Can with Tulips


Hey, Vladka here with my second project on the CottageCutz blog and my first mixed media project at the same time. I really wanted to try this with this beautiful CottageCutz die, the Watering Can and Tulips. I have to tell you this is great and such fun! You don't have to worry about the paint on your fingers and you don't have to be afraid that you will ruin your project, because this is the point - to play with different paints and materials and get messy :))). Yupi Yupi Yay! This is my project where I’ve used different acrylic paints, some stamps, distress Inks for coloring the die cuts and of course this fantastic die:
And there is another thing I’ve tried. For the first time I’ve used an aluminum foil on my project and cut out the watering can twice, from the Kraft paper and from the foil. I’ve glued it together and tapped it with a sponge and different acrylic paints. It will be easier if I just show you :) Here is the link to my tutorial blog, where you can see what I mean and how I did it. :)
I just know that I will do it again, with the foil and with different mixed media techniques. I already have something in my mind :) So, until the next time, enjoy your life and be creative! :)
And here is the CottageCutz die I have used:

Cottage Cutz Watering Can Tulips

Greetings everyone it's Carol today.  Spring is in the air can you feel it.  What better way to welcome spring than with a fresh bouquet of Tulips.  In the language of flowers, a tulip bouquet represents elegance and grace.  What a perfect way to send a greeting to a loved one or friend.
In this picture you can see the dimension created in the tulips.  All you need to do is cut out two sets of the tulip from the die on pink card stock.  Use some deeper colored pink chalk around the edges.  Try fitting different variances of the tulips one on top of the other.  Some work together real well and you will see what looks like an open tulip when you put them together.  Use 1/6" inch foam to mount them together.  Make sure to separate where the cuts are to get even more dimension.  These tulips are sprayed sparkle mist spray.  Not only does that help to seal the chalk but gives it some nice added sparkle.
Cut out your watering can using two coordinating card stocks.  The edges of all the leaves and the watering can were edged with black ink.  See how it makes the image stand out.
Mount your watering can on your favorite die cut and decorate as desired.  As you can see, I have a collection of Tulip toys in my craft room because Tulips are a great way to welcome spring every year!
 
Here is the Cottage Cutz Die I used from The Scrapping Cottage.  You can either click on the picture to go to it or just click here.  This is one go-to-die that you will use again and again.  So many possibilities (Birthday, Spring, Easter, Hello)

Thanks for stopping by today.  It's been a pleasure to spend a little time with you.  Have a great day and I'll see you soon!   Carol

Welcome Spring!



The spring collection of CottageCutz dies from the Scrapping Cottage are so adorable! And I'm going to show you how to adjust a seasonal die to use all year long! The CottageCutz Spring Doily is so cute with the bunnies and Easter Egg, but if you are not doing an Easter card, it's so easy to transform this into a cut you can use all year long. Just make a couple of snips to remove the center, and you are left with this great diecut. You could use it like a doily as I did here- or it would make a fantastic wreath base. Don't be afraid to change your dies up a bit and use them in unexpected ways. I also used the CottageCutz Watering Can, Tulips die set. This is one of those dies that you can use for so many occasions.

Happy Spring!

Good morning, and welcome to The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  Lorie here today, so share a cute card using Cottage Cutz dies from the Spring release.  For this card, I had fun creating with the Watering Can with Tulips 4x6 die, and the Bunnies in the Grass Border 4x6 die. 
The watering can and tulips were cut with white card stock and colored with Copic markers, and with a little spring paper, ribbon, and some pearl embellishments, this card is finished and ready for wishing someone special a happy spring.

So happy you could join us today.  Wishing you a wonderful day and happy crafting!
