Floral Thank You

Happy Wednesday!

Kathy here with you and today I have a decorated gift bag with a matching mini notecard and envelope to show you using lots of beautiful CottageCutz Dies!  Here's the complete set!



I found these little White Paper Sacks (1 lb. - 3.5"x 2" x 6.75") at Michaels that I thought would be cute decorated for a gift!  All I did was add the Springtime Floral Die cut in white and colored with chalk inks, a piece of Fancy Floral Lace Border cut in white and a bow with a pearl.  Here's a close up of the die cut on the bag.




I made a little notecard with white card stock that measures 2 3/8" square so it would fit in the Elegant Envelope.  I decorated the notecard with the Spring Label Die cut with white card stock and colored the same way as the bag.  I then added the Thank You Die cut with white card stock to the label.  Here's a close up of the notecard.




For the envelope, I cut the Elegant Envelope Die with white card stock and decorated it with the Flower w/Cutouts (flower) and Plumeria & Leaves (leaves) all colored with chalk inks.  I added some pearls and a little Diamond Stickles around the pearl in the flower center.  On the back flap of the envelope, I add a small piece cut from the Springtime Floral Die that I colored to match the other pieces.  Here's a little close up for you!




I LOVE this little envelope!  It's perfect for little notecards to go with gifts!

These are the dies I used on my project.

CottageCutz Spring Mini Page 3 & 4

 Greetings CottageCutz Lover and Friends.  Today is my project share of Page 3 and 4 of my Cottage Cutz Spring Mini Album.  The tutorial for this mini can be found here.   It was a lot of fun to create this.  It has lots of room for pictures and journaling.
 For the third page in the series I used the Springtime Bunny, Bella Flora Frame, andd the Fancy Floral Scroll.  The frame has a Martha Stewart Punch around the Page design and the flowers are Prima.
 For page four again we have the Fancy Floral Scroll, Fancy Daisy Vine, and the Bumble Bee Mini.  The tag in the pocket uses the same Martha Stewart Punch around the page, another Prima flower, a acrylic butterfly and a Some Bunny Loves You stamp from the $1 bin at Michael's.
The pocket insert used the bird from the Spring Tweetie die and the Spring Birdhouse Branch.  It looks like spring has sprung on these pages doesn't it?   Thank you so much for stopping by today to view another edition to this CottageCutz Spring Mini Album.  Happy Crafting and have a wonderful day!  Here are the dies used:

Blossom Branch

Hi all. Vladka here! 
I have another spring card for you. Trees are so beautiful with all blossoms at this time of the year. I tried to imitate this with beautiful Blossom Branch die. 
To add some dimension, I cut out the bigger circle from white cardstock and smaller one from green cardstock which is used also as decorative edge. After long time I also added some stitches. I hope you like it. 
Blossoming weekend to all!

Happy Together

Happy Saturday!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!  Today I have a side-step card to show you using a bunch of CottageCutz Dies!




The last time I did a side-step card it was with crows, this time it's deer!  This is a fun card shape when you want to create a scene.  As soon as I saw these dies, I thought it would be fun to put them all together!  Here's a bit of a side view for you.  You can also click on the photos for a closer view.





The back fold has the pine trees from the Woodland Cabin and the Woodland Pine Trees Dies.  The middle fold has the rest of the Woodland Cabin Dies.  The front has the Woodland FawnsGarden Birdhouse Tree, and the grass from the Canadian Goose Die.

I used brown, yellow, and salmon pink card stock for the cabin and white card stock, colored with chalk inks, for the rest.  The brown card stock is Brownie from Coredinations which I also used to make the card base.  To create the base, I used the Side Step Card tutorial on Split Coast Stampers that you can find here.

The sentiment is from Happy Together by Stampin Up, stamped on the salmon pink colored card stock with Rich Cocoa by Memento.  I then punched it with the Word Window punch and added it over the grass with pop dots.

The ribbon embellishment is made with Salmon Pink Seam Binding, Cocoa Jute String (both from Really Reasonable Ribbon), fibers from my stash and a button.  I did separate triple loop bows, glued them together with glue dots, then add the button with a fiber bow in it on top.

These are the dies I used:
