Fancy Ornate Birdcage


Happy Friday everyone!

Kathy with you, and today I have a card using two new dies from the Fancy Floral Release, the Fancy Ornate Birdcage Die and Fancy Floral Lace Border Die!






 
 
I love how delicate these new dies are and how nicely they cut! For my card, I used Maripsa Designer Papers for the background and the birdcage, then green and tan cardstock for the rest. I added a little Diamond Stickles to the bird in the cage to highlight it, then added a sentiment, trim, bow, button, and pearls. Very easy card to put together!

 
Here's a little closeup of the dies for you...

Sweet Spring Showers LOVE birds


Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday to all!!
Today I am sharing the CottageCutz Spring Showers Lovebirds. I absolutely LOVE these sweet little birds. I also had to use the NEW CottageCutz Fancy Floral Corner #2, an Absolute Must have to your CottageCutz collection!!!


1st I paired 2 of the CottageCutz Fancy Floral corners together to create a background for the LOVEBirds! Next I cut out the sweet Lovebirds in white card stock and colored with copics, and then added feathers to them. Their Umbrella is layered with dp, and a a colored layer. and Lastly I added some of the CottageCutz Grass border.

My card was simple to make, and LOVE all the NEW CottageCutz Dies!!!

CottageCutz Quackers & Quack

 Greetings friends and papercrafters.  How about Quackers and Quack???  Aren't they super cute!   Just had to pair these little cuties with this fun stamp I got at the Scrap Expo this summer.    Sing in the Rain, Dance in the Sun, Dream by the Light of the Moon.  The Quacker on the left looks like he is dancing and the one on the right looks like he is singing.  I just knew I had to pair these two items together.  I love this sentiment.  It reminds us to enjoy life and not take ourselves too seriously!
 Here's my dancing Quacker.  I die cut him out on yellow card stock and distressed him with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.  The Bill and the fee were cut on a melon colored card stock.  I put a little pink chalk on the cheeks to my Quacker a little flushed from all that dancing.
 The Singing Quacker was created in the same manner and attached to the card with some foam pop dots.  I just love how they go so well together on a card.
 The corners were created with the Bella Spring Corner die.  It gives it the lacy feel.  I added three handmade daisies with rhinestone centers and a few punched leaves.  So fun to make and so cute to send.   Thanks for stopping by today.  I sure do appreciate it.  Happy Crafting!

Take a look...


The Butterfly Spring Floral (Elites) die was cut twice out of 
white cardstock. I used Distress Inks to color it -
peeled paint and worn lipstick. I cut the colored
flowers with worn lipstick and stuck it on top of the green ones.


For today's card I used Bo Bunny paper - Country Garden.
I stuck the 6x6 paper layout onto the white card base
and cut with my scissors around the shape. 


All I added was a sentiment, Butterfly Spring Floral (Elites) 
die cut, Flamingo liquid pearls and a bow with a pearl brad.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the CottageCutz Springtime Strawberries and I also used Love tags,Tea Time Tags, and Confectionery Bag all CottageCutz dies. The Strawberries were cut out in white and all colored using copics. I even made my mom a gift card holder , and used the CottageCutz Confectionery Bag as a gift card holder as well.

Spring Shower Lovebirds card

Hello Everyone from Olena.

Today I am sharing a cute Spring Shower Lovebirds card I created with Beautiful 


For this card I used two NEW die cuts from Spring Collection - "Spring Shower Lovebirds die (4x4) and "Spring Tweetie" die (4x4).
 
First, I made cloudy background for bird. For this, I used heart template and pink Copic marker with Airbrush system.  

Next, I cut images out using cream card stock and then, sponged with different craft inks.

I glued images on cloudy background and added sentiment "LOVE" on it. I, also, used black pearls for eyes and Dew Drops for finishing touches.

For this project I used:







 Have A Wonderful Week!
