CottageCutz Christening Gown

Hello friends and bloggers.  It's Carol here with a creation.   Today I have a Cottage Cutz Baby's Christening Card for my project.   Did you see the Baby Collection at The Scrapping Cottage.  You have just got to check them out here.  They are so cute!
This card measure 5 x 5 inches.  I used Martha Stewart's Lace Doily punch around the page and Spellbinders Square Fleur De Lis.  All other dies are from Cottage Cutz including the flowers
The flowers were created by die cutting three petals each for a total of 9 flowers to create the three you see here.  I used the McGill Blossoms kit to create the dimension in the flowers and then attached a pearl in the center.  After they were assembled I stickled the edges.
Here are the dies I used to make this card from Cottage Cutz:



   Thanks for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it.

Baby Release Variations

Hello friends!  Today I wanted to share some of the assembled die cuts from the CottageCutz Baby Release.    I want to show you how small changes can sometimes make big differences.  First I have several Christening Gowns cut out in various colors.


These 3 gowns were cut from off white cardstock.  The one on the far left is just the diecut.  The middle gown was distressed with YR0000, pale chiffon copic.  The 3rd gown was distressed with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

Next we have 2 blue gowns cut from the same cardstock.  One was distressed with Memento Summer Sky ink, the other with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink.  This gives a very different look to 2 gowns cut from the same color.  The green gown was distressed with Memento Pear Tart ink.

The pink dress on the left was stamped with some small vines and a heart using Memento Angel Pink.  That is my favorite from this selection.  It looks much nicer in person.  The second pink card was highlighted with a white gel pen.

Finally I have 3 bears cut with the CottageCutz Romper Bear to show you.  2 were cut from Kraft cardstock, the other was cut from plaid patterned paper.


Different outfits on each bear and all 3 bears were distressed with the tea dye ink.  I hope I have inspired you to try different ways for using your dies.  I will be back in 10 days to share some finished cards from this baby release.  As always, thanks so much for visiting!  Enjoy your day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Sweet Little Baby

Good morning!  Well, it's Monday, and I hope it's shaping up to be a good one for ya.  Have you seen  this baby release from The Scrapping Cottage?  It just couldn't have come at a better time.  I spent the weekend celebrating two new babies that are to be born into our family within the next 4-6 weeks.  My niece will welcome her second little one at the end of next month, and on September 12th, my second grandson will make his debut.  It's so wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate these special blessings and that made it easy to find inspiration for creating this sweet card.
In creating this, I used the following amazing Cottage Cutz dies:
 

 
The adorable little baby elephant was cut out using Express It Blending Card, and I colored it with Copic markers.  On the beautifully detailed large baby doily and frame, I used a very heavy weight card stock, so that it would be stronger in order to hold the flowers and baby elephant die cut.  The flowers, turquoise grosgrain ribbon and sentiment from Stampin' Up! finished this one up, and on, what fun it was!!

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to an amazing start.  Thanks for joining us here on The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  Have a fabulous day!!!

Glassine Decorated Gift Bag

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a decorated Glassine Gift Bag! I designed my gift bag for The Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful CottageCutz dies :)
I started with a plain bag, and then decorated with dp,ribbon,lace, and the Beautiful CottageCutz dies.

CottageCutz/Lace Flower Doily
CottageCutz/Flower Mini
CottageCutz/Pennants Eyelet
CottageCutzPennants Plain

DCWV Be Mine Stack
Helmar's Premium Craft Glue/450 Quick Dry/Scrap Dots

Links for all the dies used are above!




I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Build-a-Butterfly! you can double layer,triple layer like I did here! I used 2 of the big pieces of the butterfly and then 1 of the smaller for the fancy wings. I thought making it 
3-D with Helmar's Scrap dots was perfect, now the wings will stay out like shown in my picture. I distressed the edges too. the Dp i used on the bag is what I also used for the Butterfly, and its listed above as well.

The Flower Mini was cut using the same dp, and then distressed the edges with tim holtz antique linen. I added some pearls to the centers.

I also LOVE using the pennants, as they are perfect for cards,bags,layouts,mini's and other altered art!

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

Glittered Bird Cage

 
Happy Monday it's Carol here with a project to share.   It's a pleasure to show you this creations today. These dies are just so much fun to create with.  The birdcage die has so much wonderful detail from an open door to two little birds.   It's so sweet and I just had to glitter it up for this card!
 The flowers are also another Cottage Cutz Die called Button Flower Mini.  I just love them.  I had fun creating some dimension in these flowers by using the McGill Paper Blossoms Kit.  Just die cut the flower, turn it upside down and fun the tool over the petals, turn back to the front and use the tool in a circular motion in the middle and layer twice.  I accented the centers with some pearls.
 Spellbinders Square Fleur De Lis die along with Spellbinders Labels One created the frame.  Martha Stewart Loopy Punch Around the page, Fleur De Lis Accents, and the Rosebud Cuttlebug folder complete the additional embellishments.
 This easel card also includes Fancy Tags Two and the Sentiment was from the dollar bin at Michaels.
  For leaves I used the Greenery Die.  The leaves were cut on white cardstock and then glittered with some Martha Stewart Crystal Course Glitter.  For the flowers I used a coarse glitter called Diamond Dust,
 Thank you for visiting today.  I really do appreciate it.  Hope you have a great week!
Here are the Cottage Cutz dies that were used in this project:
Birdcage W/Two Birds
