Sweet Filigree Cupcake


Hello everyone and beautiful Friday to you all...

Here is a new post for the Scrapping Cottage Blog.
I made a Birthday Gift Pocket for a gift card.
For the Pocket I used Petite Eyelet Pocket die
and to decorate it I used Sweet Filigree Cupcake
and Tiered Cupcakes dies.


This was so easy to make. I cut Petite Eyelet Pocket
out of DP and glued the sides together.
Then I cut the Sweet Filigree Cupcake and
Tiered Cupcakes also out of different DP and
sponged the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.


Here is the back of the gift card pocket.


Here is another photo to see the real size of the project.

Hope you like it... :)

Hugs,

CottageCutz Garden Delight

Springtime Bunny
Hello everyone, today I am sharing another card made using the super SWEET CottageCutz Dies! 

For my card today I used the Sweet CottageCutz Springtime Bunny, and CottageCutz Garden Birdhouse Tree, both from the Garden Delight Collection. Next I used the CottageCutz Rustic Fence w/Grass border from the Harvest Season Collection found here. The CottageCutz Sweetheart Border is from the Sweet Love Collection. I absolutely LOVE them all! 

The bunny was cut using a light brown card stock, and then dusted with distressed ink. Next I colored the flowers and stems with Tim Holtz markers, except for the yellow ones those were done with copics. 

For the design paper I used the darling Farmhouse Paper pad from American Crafts, and then used the red card stock from the Earth Tones Collection. I also used the Cream as well. For my Ribbon I used Really Reasonable Ribbons Satin with Grosgrain Edge. The Flower and button are also from RRR.

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

CottageCutz Spring Mini Pages 1 & 2

Greetings friends and papercrafters.  It's Carol here today with another post featuring the CottageCutz Spring Mini Album with the beautiful Cottage Cutz dies.  It's an envelope mini made with the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.  You can find the tutorial here that I used to create this sweet little mini album
 For the first page I used the Garden Birdhouse Tree on the tag.  The Spring Hedgehogs are playing by the Garden Butterfly Tree..  The little Confectionery Bags, Small hold the sweetest little tags made with the Spring Daisy Egg.  Such a cute and fun page.
 The tree has been embellished with pearls that were colored with copic markers.  Martha Stewart Punch around the page was used on the tag and the matt for this page.
 For the second page a pocket was created to hold two folders.  The pocket has been decorated with Springtime Friends.  Isn't this a precious die.  I love the chicks-they crack me up....get it....crack me up....lol  On the folders we have one with the Garden Delight Bird and the other with the Fancy Daisy Vine.
 When you open these two folders, each one houses a pocket for egg tags that were made with the Garden Butterfly Egg and the Spring Sunrise Egg dies from CottageCutz.  Lots of detail for this Spring mini Album.
Thanks for stopping by today to view my album.  Here is the front cover from the last time I posted my Design team project.  I will be back soon with more pages to show you.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Until next time, Happy Crafting, see you soon!  Here are the dies I used:

Spring atmosphere

Hi all, Vladka here with you today!
It is time for Spring. Garden Delight release helped me to create this atmosphere on my card. I used  Garden Birdhouse Tree and Spring Birdhouse dies and colored them with different Distress Inks.
Time is precious thing and we need to spend it wisely. And every spring I feel like I have a little more time. Probably because of the longer days, but anyway, feeling is good and I manage to do more things as in winter. And I also love this time, because this are the first days of the year when I can go outside and enjoy my cup of coffee. Trees with first blossoms and singing birds are perfect company.  
Enjoy your days and spend the time wisely!

Elegant Hat Box Accordion Card


Hello everyone!

It's time for the NEW post from me (Simona).
Today I have an Accordion card for you.
I wanted to make this card for ages and  finally
I got to it... :). This is the experimental one, so be
sure to see more of that to come.

I used beautiful CottageCutz
Elegant Hat Box die for this card.


To make the card base I used Sizzix Bigz Album,
Accordion Flip 3-D die from Karen Burniston.
Since this was my first attempt I went for the simple
version... :). 


Elegant Hat Box die was cut out of white card stock.
I used Distress Ink pads to color the cut pieces and glued
them together.


Here is a close up from the hat box.


Just added the sentiment and voila... all done!


Thank you for stopping by!

Wish you all a beautiful day!

Hugs,
Simona
