Springtime Strawberries and Victorian Window

Beautiful morning everyone!

It's Simona with you today, showcasing  a card
made with beautiful CottageCutz dies:


I cut the strawberries and the window out of white cardstock
and colored/sponged them with Distress inks:
pumice stone, peeled paint, antique linen, fired brick,
barn door and mustard seeds.


For the picture behind the victorian window I used
Graphic 45 paper - Secret Garden.


White background was dry embossed with a brick
folder and sponged with pumice stone distress ink.
I used white gel pen to hand draw some lines and added
some white half pearls.


Hope you feel inspired.

Thank you for looking and have a 
lovely day!

Hugs,
Simona

Thank you very much

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!
Today's card was designed using the beautiful CottageCutz Garden Bird Branch, and the Blossom Branch dies from The Scrapping Cottage.
The Garden bird branch was cut 2 different times in a green dp, and a yellow dp. I then cut the birds out and placed them on the branch. As for the flowers those are colored with copics and then glued on.

The tag for the sentiment is cut with CottageCutz Doily Mini, then I punched out a circle to stamp the sentiment on and layer on top of the Mini Doily.


I love these beautiful dies, as you can do sooo much with them. To finish off the card I added a couple of bows with button centers. 



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

Springtime Bluebell Flowers


Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Kathy with you and today I have a card using CottageCutz's Springtime Bluebell Flowers and Butterfly Mini Dies.



These flowers are so pretty and delicate! I cut them out with Solar White Cardstock by Neenah and colored them with VersaMagic Chalk Inks and makeup applicators. Very easy to do and looks pretty against the white embossed background using the Scrollwork EF by Cuttlebug. The butterfly was done the same way and shaped a little. I love this little die!

Here's a closeup of the flowers and butterfly.




These are the dies I used:

CottageCutz Dakota and Daisy

 Happy Wednesday-it's hump day.  It's all down hill from here to the weekend.   Isn't Dakota and Daisy Adorable.   I just had to include that little "I Love You" shaker sentiment on this card.  I was thinking of my "dearest" when I was making it.  I don't know if you have a husband who is a hunter, but mine might shoot this card....lol  Funny thing is, my husband only got one deer last year and he got that one because it ran into the car on his way to work!!!  That was to the turn of about $5,000 worth of damage to the car, but thank goodness my husband didn't get hurt.  Oh the luck of a hunter!!!
 Dakota and Daisy are just adorable.  The Bella Spring Wreath was used in the background and the Bella Leafy Branch was used under these pretty Recollection flowers.  The card was made with the nested Spellbinders set called Elegant Labels 4.  The little "I Love You" sign is Recollection.

Thanks for stopping by today to view my creation.  Sure do appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day!  Here are the dies:

Strawberries and Bella Spring Wreath


Hello Ladies. Today I'm presenting you Scrapping Cottage Spring Strawberries die together with Bella Spring Wreath die. I made a pocket card in which I added little gift package with different seeds.


In nature, sun colored the fruits, but in my craft room Distress Inks are perfect for that. Springtime strawberries die is another die from the last Scrapping Cottage release and you have to admit, it is beautiful. And this is how it looks like, when package is out of pocket: 


This project is actually a birthday present for my good friend and here you can see how the whole present looks like. In the big package is a scarf.


Have a great day!

Spring Treehouse


Beautiful Sunday morning everyone!

Simona here with a new project...
I made a fun "New Home" card with 


I cut the die out of white, lighter green, darker green
and dark brown cardstock. I used distress inks
to distress the edges and color the white pieces.


Then I glued the house and the tree together. For the
pieces on top I used 3D glue foam squares.


The background was stamped with Hero Arts stamp.


For the key I used CottageCutz Ornate Key (Mini). 
I cut the key once out of white carstock and
once out of browh cardstock and stuck both pieces together,
leaving a tiny border on one side.


I also used white gel pen, some green rhinestones and
tiny white half pearls to embellish the card. 
As always the CottageCutz dies could be used in so many different  ways.

Thank you for looking!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hugs,
Simona
