Happy Father's Day


Happy Monday!

Kathy with you, and today I have a Father's Day card for you using HappyFather's Day, and Canadian Goose CottageCutz Dies!




To create my card, I started with a black card base and added a Kraft mat that was embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and inked with Creamy Cocoa and Java Chalk Inks.  A smaller mat was made with Chance Designer Paper that was matted with Black.

The dies were cut with black, Natural White, Kraft, and Crushed Olive Distressed Papers and inked with Creamy Cocoa and Java Chalk Inks.  I added the sentiment pieces by running them through my Xyron Machine.  The other pieces were glued together and then added to the smaller mat using pop dots.  Then I just added a button with a twine bow.

These are the dies I used.

CottageCutz Wedding Pillow Box

 Happy Crafting everyone and welcome.   This is Carol and today is a project to share with a wedding theme.  I just adore making favors and little boxes for gift giving.  There's going to be a wedding in my family the beginning of next year, so I am in the throws of lots of crafting.  The latest and popular trend is "Rustic" Weddings with burlap and canning jars as part of the decorations.  It can be very elegant.
 As you can see here the white contrast very beautifully with the burlap fabric.  The pillow bow was created with the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Board.  It's 6 x 6-quick and easy to make especially if you need to make lots of them!
 The butterfly has been glittered and so has the flower-love me some sparkle on this.  Also there is some silver bling strands on either side of the burlap.  It helps it to stay put and not fray.  Burlap frays pretty easy so you have to think of creative ways to create with it to keep it in tact on your projects.  Thank you so much for visiting and taking a look.  It's been a pleasure to share an idea for wedding favors with you.  Hope it gives you inspiration to create something wonderful for you and your family.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies I used:

Angel for baby Girl

Hi, all! Vladka here!

I have one little Angel for you today. Sometimes I like to leave everything clean and simple, as on this card today.

Little angel is a messenger of a new life. With heart in his hands whispers gentle words about life in baby girl´s ears. She hears him. Angels are our friends, but when we grow up, we don´t hear them anymore. So, we need to start listen again. 

This Christmas Angel is really sweet die and I combined it together with some words: Congratulations, Baby and Girl. I hope you like it! Have a great day!

Nana "Happy Mother's Day"

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!

Today I have a card I designed for Mother's Day for The Scrapping Cottage. & Really Reasonable Ribbon.


I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this DARLING CottageCutz Sweet Spring Kitty Die. I dusted the kitty with distressed inks and a duster. Next I used copics to color the flowers, basket and all the Expressions wording. LOVE using the new wording, as it makes crafting so easy. Its nice to not have to cut so many little pieces of the alphabet to create words, LOVE this!!!!

 I used the Beautiful Noelle Lace ,  I ran it across the center of my card 2 times to create a lace border. I then used the Pink Gingham Ribbon to create a big bow. Love PINK, and LOVE the Gingham Ribbon from RRR!

Here is a photo of the inside of my card.



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

Sweet Cupcake Birthday


Hello everyone from Simona!

Today is my friend's birthday so I was
feeling like making a birthday post for 
with beautiful CottageCutz dies:
retired stamp Circles w/ Eyelets (4x4).


For the base of my card I picked red card stock and
some BoBunny paper from my stash to used it as a
background. I did the stitching with the sewing machine.


I cut all of the dies used out of white card stock and
used distress ink pads and copics to color them. I used
some glossy accents on the cherry and some stickles
Star Dust on the cupcake. 


I stamped the sentiment and added a button with a
red twine. I also used ribbon and rhinestones.


Handmade cards are a special gift on its own and I hope
there is someone special in your life you'd like to make
them a card and show them in a special way how
much they mean to you... :)


Visit The Scrapping Cottage Shop where they are 
having a National Scrapbook SALE up to 60%.
Don't miss out, IT ENDS TODAY!!


Happy Crafting!

Hugs,

Thinking of You

Happy Friday!

Kathy here with you!  Today I have a “Thinking of You” card using the Thinking of You Expressions, Strawberry Delight and Flower Vine CottageCutz Dies from The Scrapping Cottage.





To make my card, I started with a white card base, added light blue gingham paper with a piece of red gingham ribbon over the bottom of it.  The Flower Vine, leaves and strawberry tops were cut with green designer paper. The sentiment, strawberries and flowers were cut with Real Red card stock.  The bowl for the strawberries was cut with flowered and blue designer papers and I cut the rim a second time with Real Red to go under the blue rim.  The designer papers are all from Nana's Kitchen by DCWV.

For the bowl of strawberries, I cut an extra single strawberry and popped the two singles behind the trio of strawberries.  The little flower in the top right corner is part of the Strawberry Delight Die that you can also place on the bowl.  I decorated the flowers a little with some liquid pearls and a white gel pen after shaping them.

I finished the card with a triple loop bow using Moss Seam Binding and added a red button threaded with blue twine making a bow in the back of it.

These are the dies I used:
