Spring Chick-a-dee Basket

Easter is just around the corner and time to think of Easter baskets and Chocolate Bunnies!  Here's a little egg shaped Easter Basket I created with the Spring Chick-a-dee and Greenery die from CottageCutz.
A Martha Stewart Punch was used to create the decorative edge around the egg shaped basket and the little fence border.  The Martha Stewart matching border punch was used to decorate the handle.  Prima flowers and the Greenery decorate the front along with a little pearl swirl.  This Spring Chick-a-dee is all dressed in her Easter finery and ready to put a smile on the face of the person who receives it filled with chocolate.  Here are the CottageCutz dies used:



Thanks for viewing my project today.  Sure do appreciate it.  Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Hanging Monkey


Hello, dear friends. 
Simona here and I am sharing with you a Spring card today,
With todays post I wanted to show how versatile CottageCutz dies
 are and how you can use this die for different occasions. 
When I saw this die for the fist time I thought this would be a perfect 
die to make a card for a baby. Instead I decided to make
a Spring card... :). The die comes with a pretty big 
wooden board on which you can stamp any sentiment.
I had so much fun making this card.


The size card is 6"x 6".
The Hanging Monkey is cut out of white paper and colored
with Copic markers. The branch and the leaves were also
colored with Copic markers.


The circle behind the monkey was cut out with Spellbinders dies,
dry embossed and lightly inked with Distress Inks - dried marigold
and spiced marmelade. 


The sentiment Spring was stamped with clear VesaMark
and sprinkled with orange sherbet embossing powder, then 
heated with the heat gun. An orange marker
with a fine tip was used to outline the sentiment.



I also used Martha Stewart punch, some liquid pearls -
buttercup, ruby red, brads and orange satin ribbon from my stash. 


I hope you enjoyed todays post.

Thank you for stopping by...
I wish you all a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Simona

For  the bottom of the Cupcake Shop I used Core'dinations Card Stock, and embossed it with a Cuddlebug Dots folder, then sanded it, so the lighter color would come through. The Icing on the shop was cut out using SU! design paper. Next for behind my cupcake shop I used the CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame Die, and distressed the edges in pink. My white scalloped border is a MS punch



♥♥♥Embellishments♥♥♥
Design Paper Layers are all from scraps. I embellished my card  using Really Reasonable Ribbon(sheer double ruffled edge), and buttons. The sweet dew drops are from The Robins Nest, and I Love using these to embellish!!

CottageCutz post Beautiful Plumeria card

Hi Everyone! 


It's Olena here today to share with you a Beautiful Plumeria circle card! I made this card using the Super CUTE CottageCutz dies- Plumeria & Leaves dies (4x4).


 On this card I used the gorgeous CottageCutz Plumeria & Leaves die to create my own flowers. I cut out  4 times flowers and leaves using white card stock, and then I sponge them with a orange craft ink. Next, I used Zip Dry paper glue to give them a 3-D look, and then added some rhinestone to the center of flowers. 


The base card  was cut with Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped circle dies. 
I stamped sentiment on circle background of card and glued to the base card. 
I added  flower and leaves to card front as shown in picture above.

Happy Window


Happy Friday!  Kathy here today with a center-step card using CottageCutz' Springtime Window and Vintage Lamps Dies!




Here's a closer view of the lamp on the right side.






I'm having so much fun with these dies, the possibilities are endless!  For my card, I started with a lavender cardstock base and added various mats with designer papers.  I cut the die pieces with the same designer papers and a little kraft paper for the plant pot and lamp base.  Then I just mixed it all the pieces together till I like the way it looked, shaped some of them and inked the edges.

Here are pictures of the dies I used:

Smile

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa here and today I am sharing a layout featuring some of the beautiful CottageCutz dies! This is a photo of my younger daughter. I used the Eiffel Tower die cut form the Eiffel Tower, lamp and poodle ,on this project and cut the bottoms off so the tops were used as hinges on my page. I added the lampost to the frame around daughters photo.

I'm a fan of leaves and love to use them on my pages. It's rare that you will find me scrapbooking without leaves and flowers. Here I used the Greenery die and cut it out of different colors and used the different leaf designs.

The Eiffel Tower Mini made an appearance on a tag that I tucked into the page.

There is lots of texture on this page including molding paste, stamping and some paint splattering. 
Hope you enjoyed todays project and are inspired to get some of the beautiful dies for yourself!

♥♥♥Sweet Cupcake Shop♥♥♥


♥♥♥Hello everyone♥♥♥
 Today I wanted to share a card I made the other day using the Sweet CottageCutz Cupcake Shop.


For my card I used the super cute CottageCutz Sweet Cupcake shop and cut it out with brown card stock, and Pink design paper. Next I used Creative Inspiration Paints on the icing, and also ended up using CIP's Angel Dust. The Door frame, windows, and flower boxes were all colored with copics.

Next I used the CottageCutz Tea Time Doily behind my Sweet Cupcake shop die Cut. I also decided to add some branches, and buttons to the bottom. And for embellishments, I used Really Reasonable Ribbon, Pearls, and buttons.


For the inside and the part to hold up the easel part of my card, I decided to go with a large flower that I cut in half. I then added some punched pieces, and a stamped sentiment to it. Lastly I added gems.

Below are the CottageCutz Dies I used:





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