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 Dies Used:
CottageCutz/Build-a-Butterfly
CottageCutz/Lace Flower Doily
CottageCutz/Flower Mini
CottageCutz/Pennants Eyelet
CottageCutzPennants Plain

Other supplies used:
Glassine Bag/Really Reasonable Ribbon
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Silky Crush,sheer box pleated trim,Lace.Satin
DCWV Be Mine Stack
Helmar's Premium Craft Glue/450 Quick Dry/Scrap Dots
Flowers/Feathers,Pearls

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:

Welcome Baby

Hello friends!  Janice here to show you a card I made with the CottageCutz Rocking Horse, from the recent baby release.  I LOVE this entire collection!  So CUTE!  I used the rocking horse with October Afternoon, Cakewalk papers to create a Welcome Baby card.  I could see this die being used for Christmas cards as well, by adding some pine boughs with pine cones.  I wanted to have one already made to show you the variation but didn't have enough time.  Maybe next time I will show you a Christmas one.  So here is my card for today.

I also used the Stork Banner and the Baby Buttons Mini.  After the pieces were assembled, I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.  Everything was pop dotted and some Hug Snug seam binding was used to tie the bow.  Next is a picture of 3 assembled rocking horses.  One of them was made with the left over pieces from this card.


This rocking horse would look wonderful on  a baby layout or as a Christmas ornament.  How might you be inspired to use the rocking horse?  Have a great day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Flowers To Brighten Your Day



Good morning!  It's Lorie here today to share a card filled with bright and beautiful flowers all made with wonderful CottageCutz dies.  Making gorgeous cards and scrapbook pages is so easy with these beautiful dies and they turn out perfectly every time!!
 I thought this pretty paper from Bo Bunny was a good match to the leaves on this Tropical Trio Flower CottageCutz Die, and the Lace Flower Doily die made a great backdrop for the bright and beautiful cluster of flowers.  I simply chose colors from the polka dots in the paper to make everything coordinate

Here's a closer look at the gorgeous detail from the flowers.  I added some tiny pink rhinestones for just a touch of bling.  Below you'll find photos and links to the dies I used to create this card.




Wishing you a bright and beautiful day and a weekend filled with wonderful things!  Happy Friday and happy crafting!

CottageCutz Beautiful Butterfly

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my Easel card designed for The Scrapping Cottage using the BEAUTIFUL CottageCutz Build-a-Butterfly & Lace Flower Doily.
For my card I used the CottageCutz Build-a-Butterfly using black shiny DCWV card stock, and then glitter card stock. To get my butterfly 3-D I used Scrap Dots. I also added some Viva Pearl pen to the black on the butterfly, it looks like pearls but its a liquid. I LOVE this butterfly from CottageCutz its super EASY and Beautiful for cards,layouts,and mini albums!

The CottageCutz Lace Flower Doily was also cut using the same black cardstock, and it was a scrap piece, so I didnt cut the entire doily out :) NICE way to use up your small scrap pieces :)
