Springtime Bluebell Flowers


Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Kathy with you and today I have a card using CottageCutz's Springtime Bluebell Flowers and Butterfly Mini Dies.



These flowers are so pretty and delicate! I cut them out with Solar White Cardstock by Neenah and colored them with VersaMagic Chalk Inks and makeup applicators. Very easy to do and looks pretty against the white embossed background using the Scrollwork EF by Cuttlebug. The butterfly was done the same way and shaped a little. I love this little die!

Here's a closeup of the flowers and butterfly.




These are the dies I used:

Butterfly Confectionery Bag



Hello everyone, today I am sharing the DARLING CottageCutz Large Confectionery Bag , along with a few other CottageCutz designs.  I love these little bags, they are super CUTE!!!

So for my bag I used Card stock to cut it out, then distressed it, and covered it with dp. Next I cut out  flowers from the CottageCutz "Tree of Nature" die, layered them, and added a pearl drop to the center. I love the Mini Picket Fence, and it works perfect on this bag. My butterfly was cut using the dp from EP collection and I distressed it too. Its popped off of the Doily Mini. Ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. And for the inside I cut 2 tags. I think these would make great invites,Thank You's, and perfect for giving a gift card.

Also HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mommy's out there!!! Enjoy!!
hugs to all,

Mother's Day Gift Card


Happy Monday everyone!

Kathy here with a cute gift project today using CottageCutz Dies.





This is a gift card holder that I made with the new Large Confectionery Bag. I first cut the bag using Nana's Kitchen Paper. Where this is single-sided paper, I cut an additonal piece (green polka dot) to glue on the inside. (You can skip this step by using double-sided paper.) I decorated the bag with a butterfly from the Butterfly Mini Die and branch and flowers from the Bluebird Die using Certainly Celery and Real Red Cardstock and a little piece of blue. These were shaped and glued to the front of the bag.

This is the bag alone.



Inside the holder is the Spring Butterfly Notecard that holds the gift card. I used a small glue dot to hold the gift card in place.



On the back I added a small strip of green paper to hold a tag. The tag is from the Fancy Insert Card/Tag. I stamped "Happy Mother's Day", added a rose flourish on the bottom, punched a hole and added a piece of ribbon.






These are the dies I used.

Butterfly Trio

Happy Friday!  Kathy here with my Butterfly Trio Card using CottageCutz's Butterfly Mini and Garden Bird Branch Dies



.

(Click on picture for a closer look)


I originally planned to post another project, but it's taking a little longer than I thought lol! While I was working on it, I thought of this idea with the butterflies and quickly put this card together!

I love this Butterfly Mini! The last time I used it I colored the pieces with chalk inks. This time I used double-sided designer papers (Secret Garden) and slightly inked the edges. I used the patterned side for the wings, and flipped the piece over to the solid side for the body. I cut the Garden Bird Branch in Certainly Celery Cardstock and trimmed a little of the bottom off to fit on the card.

For the white base, I embossed a small portion of the bottom and stamped the sentiment on the top. Then I just added some ribbons, lace, pearls, liquid pearls, and a button with a floss bow using two colors together. I added a lavender mat (Secret Garden) and white to a So Saffron card base. The finished card measures 4 1/2" x 4 1/2".

Here are the dies I used:

Garden Thank You

 
Hi everyone!  Kathy here with a card to show you using 2 CottageCutz' Dies, Garden Bird Branch and Butterfly Mini.





I cut the butterfly and branch using green cardstock and shaped the branch a little. I cut them again with white cardstock and colored the pieces with chalk inks. The birds and flowers were added with pop dots onto the first layer. I embossed the top portion of the white mat with an embossing folder and stamped a sentiment on the bottom. I wrapped ribbon around the mat and glued all the pieces down. I then added a bow and some liquid pearls.

I love this little butterfly die, I didn't much to it and it came out so cute! The branch will be good to used for the birds alone and the branch pieces to add to other creations and dies.  Here are the dies I used:

CottageCutz Mini's

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a Couple of CottageCutz Mini's.
So I wanted to make some super fast and easy cards, these are mini's, I also used the DARLING CottageCutz Mini Butterfly and Mini Ladybug on my 2 cards for today.
CottageCutz Dies:
Springtime Tea(for the lacy tag on pink card)

I normally add sewing to my cards, and layers, Of course I LOVE lots of layers and sewing, but I guess if you wanted to make some super small and FAST cards to give last minute these would be fine.
I do love the shape and how small they are, and of course these DARLING CottageCutz Mini makes the cards just tooo cute!!!

 The measurements on these 2 cards is
5 3/4 x 2 1/4
dp is 5 1/2 x 2

Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon

CottageCutz Die's and Links below:


Ladybugs were cut using brown card stock and then pink . No distressing on these. The were super easy to put together using foam squares.

On my CottageCutz Mini Butterflies below I distressed them and then added some Viva Pearl Pen.


Thank you for looking and Have a LOVELY Day!!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
