Happy Wedding

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you a wedding card, created with the new Wedding CottageCutz dies.
Usually my cards are in vibrant colors, but this time I decided for natural colors.
Let's see how it is made.

Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Wedding Chapel, Wedding Convertible, Rose With Wedding Rings, Love Bow and Arrow, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Circle Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set, Mail Tag Set
- white card base: 4.1 x 5.4" (9,5 x 12,7 cm), folded
- white cardstock: 4 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm)
- white and kraft cardstock
- Distress ink: Antique Linen, Vintage Photo
- ColorBox pigment frost white

Prepare all the pieces for wedding chapel and wedding convertible. Distress them with Distress inks and glue them together.

Trim white cardstock and cut out circle with the seventh die in a row from the middle of the set.
Also trim a rectangle from kraft cardstock. Create an embossed background with embossing folder.

Shadow kraft cardstock with a sponge and white pigment.

Cut out frame from kraft cardstock with dies: nested stitched circle set (4th die), and circle set (7th die).
Cut the frame and fasten it on a white cardstock.

Now cut out two strips from white and kraft cardstock as shown.

Stamp "Happy Wedding" and add two small hearts.

Completed card.

I also prepared a tag for the wedding anniversary that may be added to the gift.

I used rose with wedding rings die and the biggest die from mail tag set.

Thank you for coming over and have a lovely day. 

Going to the Chapel

Hi, Lois here with a simple card today.  I'm  still playing with the new dies that CottageCutz has recently released.  You can find them on the CottageCutz website.  They are a series of wedding dies and a series of nested shapes.  I have another wedding card today, which uses dies from both series.

To begin the card, I cut a piece of heavyweight white cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2, a piece of Glittery Pink cardstock 4" x 5 1/4", and a piece of shimmer white cardstock 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".

Then, using several CottageCutz dies, I cut the various die-cut pieces from shimmer white, pink glitter, and black glitter cardstock.

Before constructing my card, I embossed the shimmer white panel with a swirly embossing folder.

I added added small foam pop dots to the back of the carriage . . . 

. . . and ran the two small black die-cuts through my Xyron X sticker maker.

I then constructed my card and added a few sequins which matched the color of the carriage.

Wedding Accordion

Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I'm continuing the wedding theme. This time I made an accordion card in which you can write your good wishes for the bride and groom. But I could also be used as a wedding invitation. I think the chapel and the cake would be perfect to use with ceremony and reception information. 

For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Tiered Wedding Cake, Live Laugh Love, Wedding Chapel, Garden Bride and Groom, Nested Stitched Eyelet Square Set, Nested Stitched Eyelet Circle Set, Pierced Circle Set),

- Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Spun Sugar, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint),

- craft card stock (light and dark),

- ribbon,

- paper glue,

- double sided adhesive tape. 

I started with cutting the paper. I cut 30x10 cm piece from light craft paper. I scored it at 10 and 20 cm. I put some Distress ink around the edges. 

Then I adhere the ribbon the way it's shown on pictures below. 

When I had the card base I die cut all the other pieces, colored them with Distress inks and adhere them together. 

And this is the result.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon. 

Have a great Sunday.

Miss to Mrs (Bridal Shower Card)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

I mentioned last week that it's wedding season here in my town. Before the big day arrives for the bride and groom, first comes the bridal shower. They are always such exciting events to honor the bride.

Since I am invited to a couple of these showers, I thought I would start to create one of the cards to go along with my gift. So lets get started with some details on the dies I am showcasing today.

Step 1: This week I started my card by planning a layout for my card idea. I wanted a more elegant style card but nothing too fussy. This bride will have that elegance reflected in her wedding.
I then selected the dies that would fit what I had in mind. Since it's a bridal shower card, I chose the wedding gown die. And, then to make it all about love, I am using the love tags and sweet love borders dies.

The cardstock I chose is called blushing bride and I matched it up with some patterned paper of the same color. What an appropriate cardstock name for a bridal card.

Blushing Bride card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Patterned paper layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

I assembled these panels and then placed aside to complete my die cutting.

Step 2: I made all my cuts on this step. The bridal gown, hanger and bow is cut in a pearlized gold cardstock. The tag and borders are cut in the blushing bride cardstock. I am always so impressed with how smooth the CottageCutz dies cut cardstock.

Step 3: Started adhering the die cut pieces to the patterned panel layer. I didn't add the tag and dress at this point because I wanted to stamp the sentiment first. I wanted to make sure I had the correct placement after the heart borders were attached.

Step 4: I stamped my sentiment in chocolate chip ink. This one works so perfectly for my bridal shower theme.

Step 5: I attached the wedding gown and hanger to the tag with dimensional adhesive. Angled it just a bit, mainly for card interest. I let the left side of the bow drape down on the tag and secured it there. I liked the more free flow look.

Step 6: To finish off my card I scattered some of the pink hearts that were part of the border die. As I looked at the border, I thought it would add a bit more elegance by adding some pearls down each side. I like the look and since the pearls are small it's not too fussy.

 Well that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you an idea for a bridal shower card. There are 20 different wedding designs to spark your creativity. Check them out here.
