CottageCutz Cross W/ne

 Spring is in the air!   It's time to take out those spring colors and create.  It's Carol today.  Here's a creation using the beautiful CottageCutz dies from the recent Spring release.   This die is called the Cross W/Vine You would think of this as an Easter die, but there are more possibilities.  This could easily be used for cards for First Holy Communion, Holy Confirmation, and even a Sympathy card.  By changing up the colors and the papers, you could make some beautiful cards for these occasions.
 For the vine copic markers were used to color and shade.  For the little flowers I used Distress ink.  I just played with Barn Red, Lipstick Pink, and Spun Sugar.   It's the same ink  used to create the rose.  I just added Mustard Seed to the center.
For the card base the Spellbinders Majestic Embrace creates the background.   The CottageCutz Bella Leafy Branch is under the pretty Rose.  Hope you have enjoy your visit today.   Be sure to check out The Scrapping Cottage and the new Vintage Release.    Until next time, Happy Crafting.  See you again soon.  The dies used are as follows:

Mr. Snuggles and Flower Pot

Hi, all. Vladka is here today. 
Spring is here and also April and funny weather. On Monday when I was creating this card, we had 10 minutes of sun, 5 minutes of rain and then also a little snow. Everything in one. It was really funny and I also had fun with this card. Do you still remember cute little Mr. Snuggles
I've combined this die with Bunny Stuck in Flower Pot and Thank you Expression die. Mr. Snuggles is peeking from the pot and wants to say thank you. Everything was colored with Distress Inks and I used my favorite kraft paper for this card. I hope you like it!

Happy Easter


Hello everyone, and Happy Easter to all!
Today I wanted to share a card I made using the Darling New CottageCutz Springtime Release. I absolutely LOVE this collection of dies. For my card today I have chosen to use 2 of the New Springtime Dies, and 2 older CottageCutz Dies.

I used the CottageCutz Happy Easter Egg, cut it out in pink, and then framed it with the CottageCutz Fancy Floral Scroll die in white.
The Bunny Trio Border was cut in Green Card Stock and then in the Same design paper, but I used the backside print. I wanted the bunnies and flowers to be a different pattern.
CottageCutz Dies Used:

 The design paper is an OLD K&Company paper pack. I had some pieces in the pad, and decided to use them up. Next I used MS punch around the page for the layer. And lastly I used the CottageCutz Sweetheart Border for the border on the top layer. Ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbons Seam Binding, and lastly for embellishing, I used some Dew Drops, and a brad for the bow.

Thank you for stopping by, and Hope you have a Very Happy Easter!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Spring Scene 2

Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday to all! Today I wanted to share with you all the CottageCutz Spring Scene 2 die. I love this sweet bunny die, they are absolutely darling.

I cut them out using design paper in a blue polka dot pattern. Kept it super simple, and just layered it on a swirl white card stock. For the frame under it, i used CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame Die, and just cut it in half to place one piece at the bottom and the other at the top.

The Border around the next layer is a punch around the page. and then below that is the back side of the Polka Dot design paper, its a chevron print.

Lastly I added some half backed dots in white to embellish my card. 

This was a super simple card to make, as there is no sewing, and really no embellishments.

Thank you for looking and for all your wonderful comments!

CottageCutz Happy Easter Card

Hello everyone and welcome to another CottageCutz design team project.  Today it's Carol here.  I would like to share with you this lovely Easter Card made with the beautiful Easter Collection dies from The Scrapping Cottage.
For this card the CottageCutz  Happy Easter Egg die  was used cut on blue cardstock and the Vine die cut on green cardstock.  The paper used is an older stack for DCWV called The Blossom Song.  I just loved that stack.  I made quite a few projects with it and am still using the small pieces I have left.
For the card base Romantic Rectangles was used-you can find tutorials on youtube that show you how to cut the die to create a card.  The Happy Easter Egg die from CottageCutz was mounted on Parisian Motifs from Spellbinders.   The flower is Spellbinders Gerber Daisy die.   It was so fun to create to. 

Thank you so much for joining me today.  Hope you found some inspiration to create your own Easter Cards.  Until next time......Happy Crafting.  See you soon!  The CottageCutz dies used as follows:

Mushroom House

Hi, all! Vladka here!
When I'm not in the perfect mood to create a card or I don't have much time, I like to create simple one. Clean and simple cards are special and they are always good challenge to say something with little stuff. 
So, I used this cute little Mushroom House die and cut it out twice: with white and red cardstock and glued everything together. Background was created with water, brush and green and blue Distress inks. For final touch I added sentiment and card was finished. 
I hope you like it.
Have a great weekend!
