Two Simple Floral Cards

Happy Thursday Cottage Cutz Friends!

Melinda here with you, and today I am sharing two pretty and very easy cards I created with the amazing new Flowers & More release from Cottage Cutz!

This release is amazing and a true MUST HAVE for your creative collection! All the dies in this collection are a wonderful addition and will fast be staples in your creative stash!

Here are my projects for today.

I created this simple yet pretty card featuring the Flower 1 die from the new release! It is such a great sized die and very, very easy to put together. I cut the pieces in white cardstock and then used my markers to color them. Once colored, I mounted the flower onto a piece of yellow cardstock. Underneath that is a purple gingham mat and all that is adhered to the scallop stitched rectangle. For the larger part of the card's background, I cut out the Vintage Trellis slimline die in white cardstock. I then cut it down to fit onto the larger yellow mat. I then added a patterned paper mat and then a purple mat all onto my white cardstock base. 

Here's a closer look at the pretty flower 1 die. I added some sequins and some stickles to create the "veins" on the petals. For the sentiment, I used the I Love You die and cut it out of white cardstock. I then colored the letters with my purple marker and adhered all that onto the smallest scallop stitched rectangle. 

Next up, I created this pretty and simple card with the little flowers die set from the release. I cut all of them again in white cardstock and then colored them in.

I then layered them onto the double-stitched oval. I then staggered and layered in a series of double-stitched and scalloped ovals from both sets. I mounted all of that onto some polka dot papers and adhered it all to my white cardstock base. I then used the sentiment love you and cut that from some more white cardstock. Very easy but effective.

Both of these cards came together quickly and can be reproduced quite easily!

You Are Sweet

Hi!

It's Anja here for my Sunday post. My slimline dies have finally arrived and today I have the first card to show you. I used Vintage Trellis Slimline to make a beautiful background for the sweet strawberries. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Vintage Trellis Slimline, Springtime Strawberries, Strawberry),

- Distress Inks,

- white card stock for die cuts and background (21,3x8,7 cm),

- red card stock for card base (22x9,5 cm),

- vellum paper for background (21,3x8,7 cm),

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- eye shadow applicator,

- yellow liquid drops,

- paper trimmer,

- scissors,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

 

First I cut and colored the strawberries. I used this make up applicator to color the inside of the flowers. I used a bit of pink in the middle.

Next I made a card base from red card stock and cut all the other elements for the background.

Then I adhered all the above pieces to the card base. I added strawberries. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere the strawberries on the front side and regular paper glue for the inside. Next I stamped and cut the sentiment.

Last I added yellow liquid drops to the middle of the flowers and let it dry.

 And my card was done.

 

And that's all from me for today. Before I go I want to invite you to The Scrapping Cottage online store to check the new Lil' Bluebird Designs release. You can find lovely ideas on the blog by other Design Team members. 

 

Have a nice week and see you again on Sunday.
