Father's Day Cards

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Sunday edition of the Blog.

We have a brand-new release in the online store. It's our Patriotic 4th of July release with 12 amazing patriotic designs and bundle pricing at 40% off for a limited time. You can pick up the individual dies at 30% off . If you love making patriotic cards to honor a veteran, to celebrate the 4th of July or to display your love for America, we have you covered with this new release.

My card for today is for Father's Day and a throwback to some older dies. I made one for my son and the other for my hubby. We will be celebrating today so I will give it to my son in person since I just made this yesterday (lol)!!! My hubby will receive his this morning. 

I had these card bases in my stash featuring these amazing outdoor scenes.   I thought they would be perfect for Father's Day cards. 

I cut the card base in half and used the same color of blue cardstock for my card base. Since there is a tent in the background, I used the CottageCutz Campin Out Bear in Tent and the Campin Out Moose die and placed them in the foreground.  These dies are from our Black Friday release of 2021. 

I cut the tent in a mauve shade that matches the tent on the background panel.  Stamped my sentiment and this card is complete. 

This card is the one I am giving to my hubby. I used a different scene from the card bases for his card. I also cut this one in half. The other half of both these bases has the outdoor scene continuing so I will be able to use those on another card. 

For this card I used the Campin Out Bear w/Net, Campin Out Canoe & Camper and the Campin Out Fishing Raccoon (just for the fishing rod). 

I cut them out with the colors that are in the card panel - pecan pie and copper clay. My card base is boho blue. It's an A2 size card. Stamped my sentiment and this card is complete. 

That's it for me for this post. Tomorrow and the rest of the week, we will return to our Patriotic dies. Kristine has an amazing sample to start the week off. 

Birthday Badges

Happy Tuesday Cottagecutz fans. I hope you had a wonderful new year. I can’t believe how quickly Christmas went. What I do know is that come June I’ll be working on Christmas for next year.

Anyway it’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I thought I’d use the Black Friday release to make some birthday badges. I think it’s really cute for youngsters to have a name badge at a birthday party. So this is how I made them

Firstly I cut out 3 of the ‘Nested Stiyched Scalloped Circles’ in a bronze brown colour. I have also cut out 3 of the ‘Stitched Rounded Rectangles’ as we’ll need these shortly

I use 38m broach bars to make my badges and secure wit a hot gun. I then use the small rectangle as cut above to extra secure the broach bar in place

Next I printed some names on this beautiful cream pearlescent card and cut out with the ‘Stitched Circle Set’

I wanted to add a little background to the badges so I cut out some green circles in the same size

Next I used the ‘Grass Slimelime’ to cut some hills from the circles

I then attached the grass to the bottom of the badges and they are a perfect fit

Next I added the names to the brown badges 

To finish off, I used some of the designs from the ‘Black Friday’ release, which I will list below and you have your badges

I really hope you like the badges as much as I did making them. 

Have a wonderful week and I will see you on Friday with another project
