My Heart is with You card

Hello Everyone from Olena  

Today, I am sharing a Valentines Love card. I created with Beautiful Valentines CottageCutz Collections.  For this card I used NEW " Sweetheart Lovebirds (4x4)" die.

 
I die cut the image with cream, green and pink card stock. Sponge the edges and assemble.

 
Then, I stamped sentiment, cut out with paper punch and glued on background. For base card I used light green card stock. Decorated card with rhinestones.
Have a Wonderful Day! Olena

Sweet Love Birdcage & Frame


Happy Wednesday everyone!



Today I have another CottageCutz project for you!  This time I have a card using 2 new dies from the Sweet Love Release, Sweet Love Birdcage and Sweet Love Frame.




Wouldn't this be perfect for a Valentine's Day Card?  I love the pink and brown color combo together with cream.

I die cut the birdcage with Natural White and Early Espresso card stock, trimmed the Natural White bird and "love" pieces from the main die cut, and inked them with Victorian Velvet Ink.  I then glued them over the Early Espresso die cut so they would stand out.




The frame was cut with Natural White and Concerto card stock.  I used the Natural White inside piece for the inside of the frame, inking it with Victorian Velvet.  I popped the birdcage on the frame and them popped the frame on a piece of Early Espresso card stock.

The card base is made with Early Espresso card stock.  The Natural White mat is stamped with a "love you" sentiment (Short & Sweet - Stampin Up) in Dark Chocolate Ink then wrapped with Ivory Pleated Satin Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon) with trim (Jo-Ann's) glued down the center of it. I popped both mats on the base with pop dots, then added a pretty bow with a pearl brad over the center to finish the card.

For my card, I used the Sweet Love Birdcage and the Sweet Love Frame CottageCutz Dies.

Hedgehog Gift Card Holder




Happy Tuesday everyone!

I have a quick post today with an adorable Hedgehog Gift Card Holder!  Wouldn't this be perfect for a boy's birthday gift?






I used the Large Confectionery Bag to make the pocket using Sports Mat Pad (K & Co) that is double sided with the orange on the inside.  The tag is the Fancy Insert Tag die cut with blue card stock.  I decorated it with the adorable Hedgehog Mini and Round Mini Balloons using scraps of black, browns, yellow, and orange card stock.  The sentiment is Teeny Tiny Wishes from Stampin' Up.  I inked the edges of the tag and all the die cut pieces with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and used Natural Jute from Really Reasonable Ribbon for tie on the tag.


 Here's a photo of it inside the holder.





These are the CottageCutz Dies I used:

CottageCutz Sweet Cupid

Hello everyone, today I made a card using the beautiful CottageCutz Filigree Cupid from the "Sweet Love" Release. LOVE this beautiful release and all the beautiful CottageCutz dies in it.

for my Cupid I cut it in white, and then added some SU! Glitter to it. Next I cut the beautiful "Sweet Love Doily" in Pink and then layered a scalloped circle and then a circle on top of it. For the CottageCutz Love Blooms, I cut it in Pink as well and then used the same glitter for on top of it. I LOVE the look it gives to both the cupid and the Love blooms.


Next I used the CottageCutz Sweetheart Border, its one of my Favorite borders. I LOVE the way it frames the layers. So I cut 4 pieces and then glued them to my layer for this card.

Lastly I added some sewing to my layers, and then some pearls to the corners. Super simple card, as I made this just a few moments ago :)

All photo's are linked to the Scrapping Cottage Store
 and will take you to each CottageCutz.


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
Hugs to all!!
Cheryl

Flourish Love Heart

Hi, Vladka here today!

It is so nice when you walk to the hills, and you see small, cute, idyllic cottages. Here in Slovenia they mostly have a red and white checkered patterns on curtains and shutters or doors have carved heart in the middle. 

I´ve used only the part of the shutters where the heart is located. I cut it out twice - first piece I colored with red Distress Ink, and left the second one as it was. I also cut out the shape of the heart from the card base to get the opening. Then I  glued the first die cut on the front side of the card and the second one inside of the card, but not directly on the red one but a little bit on the side. For this I used a brand new die from CottageCutz  Sweet Love release: Flourish Love Heart. Sentiment is stamped on one part of the Homemade Tag die cut. I like this wooden look of the card, I hope you like it too.  
Have a great day.

I Love You



Hello crafty friends from Simona.

Here is another card from the LOVE series cards... :)
To make this card I used again gorgeous NEW dies
and



All the dies were cut out from designer paper and plain
red card stock. Then I glued the peaces together.


I glued the hearts together only in the center 
to achieve a 3D effect.


For the background I used some designer paper
from my stash.


As a final touch I added a strip of card cut out
with the Martha Stewart edge heart punch and drew
the dots with the white gel pen.

Hope you enjoyed today's post.
Have a great day and see you next time :)

Hugs,
Simona
