Happy New Baby

Hello everyone!
Today's card was designed for The Scrapping Cottage & Really Reasonable Ribbon. For my Sweet Baby card I used CottageCutz Baby Buggy , CottageCutz Grass Border, and Scalloped Doily.The Ribbon I used is the Beautiful Pink Gingham Print from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I absolutely LOVE making baby cards, they are sooo sweet and super fun to make. So for the Baby Buggy I used some shimmer card stock, and embossed it with dots. Next I cut the grass border and layered it a few times, so it would look like the buggy is traveling through grass. All this is layered on the beautiful CottageCutz Scalloped Doily!
My tag is the CottageCutz Love Tag,and stamped with a Stampin Up! sentiment, and I did airbrush it with copics.

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

Monochromatic


Hello everyone!

It's Simona with you today showcasing beautiful


As you can see I went for the monochromatic look this time
and I also used the Butterfly Spring Floral (Elites) die
 to accent the Oval Doily & Frame die.


I cut the die out of white cardstock twice and placed it behind
the Oval Doily & Frame die. Some parts of the die I cut 
away with scissors. The background was also cut out 
of white cardstock, dry embossed with Cuttlebug folder and 
inked with Distress Ink - Barn door. I cut two strips of white 
cardstock, punched it with the Martha Stewart Lace punch 
and attached it behind the embossed background on the top 
and bottom. Then I distressed it with the Barn door ink.


Here is a closer look at the center of the card.
I added the double bow with the brad and some liquid pearls.


Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Hugs,
Simona

CottageCutz Mr. Spring Peepers

Hi everyone, Carol here today with a CottageCutz Creation.   It's summertime here in the South and to me that means every time after a summer shower these big ole frogs that live around here come out and make a racket.  I mean it gets loud and there is no mistaking that sound!  For today I want to share with you Mr. Spring Peepers.  Isn't he just adorable with his hat sitting on his lily pad enjoying his day amongst the flowers.
 The frog, lily pad, leaves, and greenery were cut out from two different colors of green cardstock.  Peeled Paint distress ink was used to shade Mr. Peepers.  All the other pieces of the die were cut on white cardstock and colored with Copic Markers.  The butterfly and the bee are so cute and I can see using them again without Mr. Peepers!
 To create the card, Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Flourish Lace was used punched on a 5 x 5 piece of white cardstock.  The Bella Floral Frame was cut with green cardstock and fits nicely inside the perimeter of the punched white cardstock and frames Mr. Peepers nicely.
Three Prima flowers were added to the corner along with some die cut leaves from the CottageCutz Greenery die.  Thank you so much for stopping by today to view Mr. Peepers.  He was so much fun to create with.  Here are the CottageCutz Die used:

What Can I Say? You Made My Day!

Hello Everyone from Olena.

Today I am sharing a cute Spring Tweetie card I created with Beautiful 
For this card I used NEW die cuts from Spring Collection - "Spring Tweetie" die (4x4). 
This bird is so cute. 



First I made cloudy background for bird. For this, I used oval template and blue Copic marker with Airbrush system.
Next, I cut bird 2 times using green, brown, cream and yellow card stock and then, sponged with craft ink. For small flowers I used "Springtime Strawberries die cuts from Springtime Collection too.



Then, I glued image on cloudy background and added sentiment "What can I say? You made my day!" on it.




For this project I used:







 Have A Wonderful Week!

Bella Spring Tree





Hi there!

Today I have a center-step card using the Bella Spring Tree, Picket Fence Border and Birdcage & Stand Dies from CottageCutz!




This tree is so cute! I cut it with the Iced Cocoa and Reflecting Pool papers, trimmed off the flowers from the Reflecting Pool and added them to the Iced Cocoa tree. The birds were cut from both papers using the Birdcage & Stand Die. These were all glued to the Natural White mat that was embossed with the Rosa EF (Cuttlebug). I like having the diecuts against white or cream, but still giving it a little texture from the embossing folders.

The three panel were done with the Iced Cocoa, embossing the two sides with the Rosa Border EF. The Picket Fence Border was cut with Reflecting Pool paper and then embossed with Square Lattice EF.

I added pearls, bow, button and sentiment to finish it!

Here is a side view of the card.

Sweet Daisy With Love



Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!!!
Today's card was created for the Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful Dakota & Daisy CottageCutz die , and CottageCutz Bella Spring Tree



I ended up using just Daisy from this die cut, and she was cut using white card stock, then colored with copics. Next I cut out the CottageCutz Bella Spring Tree with a green card stock, and turned it sideways and placed Daisy and her butterfly on top. I love the look, and think its a little different than just using it as a tree. LOVE all the swirls on it :)

The dp, is Echo Park/Eclectic Paper pack and the ribbon is vintage. I added these little paper circle things that were sent to me years ago. Lastly I added a button.

Photo's below are linked to the store :)



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

CottageCutz Fancy Bella Butterfly

 Greetings Friends and Bloggers it's Carol here today.  Welcome to my CottageCutz Fancy Bella Butterfly project.  Isn't this color awesome.  It is the special edition Tim Holts Peacock Feathers distress ink.  It's so pretty-I just love it.   What I have for you today is called a tent topper card.
 To create this gorgeous butterfly die cut two of the Fancy Bella Butterfly.  Distress ink with the Peacock Feathers distress ink making sure to ink the edges darker on the outer edges of the die and pull the color towards the center so it is lighter.  Paint both butterfly pieces with glitter glue and sprinkle Martha Stewart plain white glitter over the top and let it dry.  Once it has dried, use pop dots to attach the two butterfly pieces together and shape the wings.  The glittered pieces help the wings to hold their shape.  Glue some tiny prima roses down the middle for accent.
 For the focal point, attach your butterfly to a Spellbinders Nested Circle on top of the Spellbinders Nested Butterfly Circle, then two more layers of scalloped circles.  The largest nested circle is from the Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle die. 
The bottom was punched with Martha Stewart Deep Double Edge Punch - Embroidery.  Cut one Bella Spring Wreath out of white cardstock, then cut it in half.  Attach these two pieces on the bottom of card to frame the focal point.  Add a few rhinestones and your done.  Thank you so much for stopping by today to view my project.  I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day!  These are the dies I used from CottageCutz:
