CottageCutz - Butterfly Mini Journal

Hello Everyone!

  Olena here and Today I am sharing a Butterfly Mini Journal I created with beautiful 
CottageCutz Collections.

 This Collection have so many awesome tags, envelopes and small note cards. For my Butterfly Mini Journal I used Scallop Insert card/tag die from NEW Collection , Beautiful Filigree Butterfly Trio die and Leafy Foliage die.

For my project I cut out seven times Scallop tag, sponged and stamped line for notes. On front tag I put leafy Foliage die cut, double butterfly and sentiment. I, also, added  ribbon and embellishments to tag front as shown in picture above. 

For this project I used:

 
 
 

Garden Hello Wall Hanging

Hi everyone!  Kathy here and today I have a wall hanging to share with you!




I used lots of beatiful CottageCutz Dies and Secret Garden Designer Papers from Graphic 45 to make this. The base is a page from a 8" x 8" scalloped chipboard album I got at Michaels. I covered it with an off-white designer paper (dp) that has crack lines on it and added a piece of peach dp to look like the side of a house. The outside border is a piece of the designer paper that I trimmed out the center of leaving just the border. Under the top of the border, I placed a piece of striped dp that was punched with a scalloped border on it. Under the bottom of the border, I added a picket fence using the Picket Fence Border Die and peach dp. I inked the edges a little and placed green dp under it.

All these pieces were glued together and added to the chipboard with Mod Podge. After letting it dry well, I trimmed the out side edge of the paper to match the scallop on the chipboard. (Note: Next time I do, this I will trace the chipboard shape on the back of the dp with pencil and trim it before adhering to the chipboard!)

The Garden Bird Branch was cut with the green dp and the 2 birds in it were cut with the peach and glued in place.

For the branch along the fence, I used the Bluebird Die with green dp, shaped it and tucked it in in the fence a little. The flowers on the 2 branches are from the Blossom Branch Die that I cut using peach dp and Solar White. I shaped these with my tool kit and mat and inked them.

For the window, I used the Springtime Window Die and cut it with green dp. The image in the window is a piece from the dp that I trimed to fit. I added the birdcage in peach dp and 2 birds all from the Birdcage & Stand Die. On the bottom of the window I added a piece of lace and mini pompom trim (a sample from Really Reasonable Ribbon) with Scor-tape.

Here's a little close up for you.



The little flower pots are from the Springtime Window Die that I cut with the green and peach dp and some Solar White and terra cotta color papers I had in my scraps folder.

For finishing touches, I added liquid pearls to flower centers, added twine bows and adhesive pearls. The chipboard tag, from Secret Garden, was added to the bottom with a tiny piece of the Moss Ribbon. Moss Ribbon was added to the back to use as a hanger and them covered with paper to finish.

Here are the dies I used on my project.

"Hi" Card

Hi Everyone! Lisa here and today I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful new Floral Notecard from the This N That collection at CottageCutz. You must stop by and see this collection in it's entirety! Sweet designs that are perfect for cards and tags!

Several papers were layered and then I added the Floral notecard and used it as the top layer on the card. I love the cut out design and topped it off with some die cut letters.

My favorite type of bows are ones created with seam binding. I use them all the time and love to color them with glimmer mists.

The little butterfly is the Butterfly Mini. I embossed it and then lightly went over it with ink. I also added some pearls to the body.

I have found a new love in card making and CottageCutz dies are just perfect for this type of art!

CottageCutz Shabby Chic New Home

Greetings dear ones.  It's Carol here today sharing a project I created for CottageCutz.  Tomorrow we are having a Blog Hop with some great prizes so be sure to come back for your chance to win.   This card was going to be for the blog hop, but I changed my mind.  Isn't it a woman's prerogative to change her mind...lol

Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall there is no place like home.  The inspiration for this card came from pinterest and this great little find:  Door 23, 24, & 27.  Isn't that awesome.   Isn't this a great way to Congratulate someone on their new home.  Bet they would display this for a long time "in" that new home!!!

 

 We'll start with Winter for the front door as that seems the time of year a house gets decorated the most.   Right down to the little Snow Bunny by the door!

To the left is Spring and to the right is Summer.  The last panel is fall

 

Below is a list of the CottageCutz die that were used to create this.  If you are wanting to make one of these of your own, you can find the measurements for the panels and the hinges in the video along with detailed discriptions of what was used.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for the Blog Hop!
