...or loosely translated, I love you! I don't think you can say "I love you" too often, do you. Just because Valentine's Day is over, doesn't mean it no longer applies, right! :)
For this simple card, I used the adorable Cottage Cutz frog on lily pad.
But for an extra fun touch, I cut the "flies" from plastic and put them on wire to make them appear to be buzzing over the toad's head!
I also used googly eyes for the frog, so he may have a little trouble seeing the flies at first. He looks a little buggy-eyed! Haha!!
Thanks for coming by today. Sorry my post was late! Hope it was worth the wait. :) 
We'd love to hear from you and how you've adapted your CottageCutz dies to meet your needs on a project.
Really! Really. . .No RED. . .are we past all the red holidays? . . .Yes we are finally into Spring. . . Yellows. . .Pinks. . .Lavendars. . . This week I decided to do a wee bit of green and yellow to create a few quick gifts. I used a large glass mug (found at the dollar store) and filled a cello bag with chocolate & nut covered caramel popcorn and tied the bag with green, yellow ribbon and gold metallic cord. I am sorry I can not tell you how much popcorn to use. . I ate so much out of the bag while I was working on the project. . well . . . I think I ate more than I used. . .so the thought is . . . . buy three times as much as you think you will need. ! ! ! !
I used the Cottage Cutz Postage Stamp and Beer Mug Die to create a tag to tie to the side of the glass mug. I used Bazzill Bling cardstock for most of the tag. The golden yellow from Bazzill Bling is such a good beer color (also great for sunflowers). I used black cardstock for the postage stamp to have a really dark backround so the greens, golds and white would pop.
I highlighted the gold cardstock in brown ink with a sponge. I went ahead and highlighted the bubbles and glass stripes before punching them out. . .that is another cool thing about Bazzill Bling paper, the die WILL cut the paper. . but the thickness of the paper alows it to hold really well until YOU want to punch it out. . . .no lost pieces.
The pillow bag of popcorn was wrapped with a strip of cardstock and the tag was added like a buckle on a belt. I used the Cottage Cutz Beer Mug Die and also used the Label Die. Also on both pieces if you noticed the very small shamrocks. . .they are from the Cottage Cutz Irish Pub Die. I wanted to add a few shamrocks. . and thought . .. in the world . . .am I going to find micro shamrocks without using foil confetti. . . than I remember the PUB sign on the Irish Pub Die. . . .good save l!!!
And for this treat box, I used the plain heart from the heart locket die to make the window then outlined with hand stitching and scallop doodling. For the window, I recycled packaging from my BigShot cutting pads. Works great for windows like this one!
This cute puppy has a slit for it's mouth so you could easily put a flower, gift, bone or anything
Don't forget that these dies are great for scrapbook pages & Valentine's boxes too!
You had me at Meow!, what a cute verse for this Cottage Cutz Cat Peeker die. I also used the Cottage Cutz Pocket die. The key to the pocket die is to remember the directions of the thread on the finished pocket. The die pushes the threads up, so you need to place the paper face UP on the die, in most cases you would face the paper down. I made the cat in pink card stock and highlighted it in hot pink ink and made the hearts in chocolate browns. The pocket was Bazill Bling white which has a cloth/demim look, also highlighting the pocket in the hot pink ink, whiped real fast so the threads would come back white.
I am sorry . . .but no live action with these photos, but I used an item on the cats head so when you hit the ear the head would bobble. The company is AWI at www.actionwobble.com . They were passing samples out last week at CHA. Lori and I split a pack. They work really well for this card. Normally you would have mounted the head behind the paws, but in this case I let the head bobble over the paws. The two clear disc has a plastic spring between them that you just peel the white paper away and there is sticky clear mylar. I think the company produces the springs for adverdising use.. . . . Paper Crafters are not afaid . . . you know if we can stick it!, glues it! or tie it! down in any way. . .we will use it! 
I love easily you can make the petals stand out to create a three dimensional effect.
With all the snow and ice that so much of the country is getting right now I'd say it's a great time to get something warm to drink and craft away!
