Group Post Black Friday Release Dies (Day 5)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store. You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We have been featuring group posts for the past several days to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed our first 4 posts, you could see them here, here, here and here.

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Melinda Beltran. She created a multi-layered holiday card. The colors, layout and designer paper come together perfectly for a beautiful non-traditional card. It's tailor-made for the friend or family member with that sweet tooth. We all know someone and this stylye card would be so fun to send out to them. 

To create her card she used the Fifties Soda Bar, Milkshake & Root Beer Float and the Cinema Drive-in Sign. 

Card 2: Our next samples for today are from Linh Van. She created 4x4 notecards using the Poodle Skirt & Rollerskate dies. I like the Bohemian style she achieved on the poodle skirt with her designer paper pattern. The "hi" phrase is from the 2018 Retro Alphabet die. One sale right now for 75% off. 

These would be perfect for a set of cards to give as a gift to a friend for her birthday or Christmas. Who wouldn't like to receive something handmade? Or to send yourself to let someone know you are thinking of them. That's always appreciated.  

That's it for our samples for today. Drop by again tomorrow for more inspiration.

Group Post Black Friday Release Dies (Day 4)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday Release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store. You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We will have group posts for the next several days to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed our first 3 posts, you could see them here, here and here.  

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Marla Harris.  She created the cutest Christmas card using a combo of the Classic 50's release and the Christmas Part 2 Snowmen Friends die. 

Don't you love the appeal she achieved with the snowmen enjoying some Christmas music with the Jukebox in the background. She even added a guitar to complete the music look. It's a creative idea. Her snowflake background was created with a stencil and glitter glaze.

How cute would this be for the music or snowman lover in your life? And the non-traditional colors just add pizzazz to her card. 

Card 2: This next sample is one that I (Mary Marsh) created using the Rollerskate and the Fifties Phrase #1 dies. A friend invited us to her 8-year-old daughter's birthday party, and she loves to roller skate. So, this card is perfect for her. 

My background paper is in a package of heavenly skies paper. I like the bokeh look and I thought it would work well for my card idea. I cut the skate and the "Let's Party" phrase in complementing colors. The stars are part of the fifties phrase die. 

Card 3: Our last sample for today is from Melinda Beltran. She created a treat box with a tent card base.  She is so innovative with the treat box ideas she brings us. This one is a perfect gift to give to the music lover.  

Here is a view with the box off the base. It's opened slightly opened and the treat box can be filled with their favorite treats as Melinda is showing here. You can check out Melinda's Blog to get all the measurements and step by step instructions of how she put this all together. 

She used the Classic Radio, Fifties Jukebox, Guitar, Music Notes & Records and Fifties Phrases #1 to complete her project.

Group Post Black Friday Release Dies (Day 3)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store. You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We will have group posts for the next several days to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. If you missed our first 2 posts, you could see them here, and here.  

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Kristine Breach.  She created a fun easel card and used some great colors on the card. It would fit a variety of occasions. Maybe a 50th birthday, or someone who is an avid motorcycler, or even someone who loves the 50's era. This would really make a cute card for a 50th wedding anniversary. We all know playful couples who like to have fun. 

Kris used the Motorcycle, Cinema Drive-in Sign for the card front. This is the front view of the easel card. She used the Fifties Phrases #2 die on a popped-up panel to act as the stopper for the easel when it's opened. 

And of course, the card folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard envelope.

Card 2:  Our next sample for today is from Pam MacKay. She created an A2 size card and cut the front panel in half and attached her image.  

It's a quick "half-front" card fold for when you want to do something special but don't have time for a lot of scoring or special tools. All you do is cut half of the front cover off.

It's a fun style card. This one is for a birthday, but you could use it for Father's Day as well. 

She used the Classic Car (Front) and cut in black cardstock to make it pop. The phrase is part of the Fifties Phrases #2 die. Also cut in black cardstock for a standout. The car designer paper complements the theme of the card. 

Card 3:

Our last sample for today is from Linh Van. She created a full-front or infinity shaker card. If you like shaker cards and don't like to use foam or struggle with lining it up this style shaker is for you. And shaker cards present such a wow factor. Adults and kids love this style card. You just place acetate across the front of the card.

Linh used the Fifties Jukebox die and the Fifties Phrases #1 with lots of purple glitter paper for a bright and festive birthday look. The phrase "Bday" is from the 2018 Retro Alphabet die that is currently on sale for 75% off.   

You can check out her YouTube channel for a video on how she created this card. Click here. 

Well, that's our samples for today. Stop by again tomorrow for more inspiration from the team. And don't forget that we are having a huge Black Friday sale going on with savings of up to 85% off.

Group Post Black Friday Release (Day 2)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Black Friday release week here on the Blog.

We have a new Classic 50's release that makes its debut here on the Blog and also in the online store.  You can pick up the bundle for a huge 65% off. That's under $97 or 30% off individual dies. The release is filled with some amazing retro images from the 50's era.

We will have group posts this week to give you lots of inspiration on different ways to use the dies. The Design team has some great ideas for ways to use these new dies.

Card 1: Our first card for today is from Kristine Breach. I Love all the bright and bold colors she used to create an awesome center step fun-fold card. This card would be perfect for any age birthday. Or how about the young ones who are having sock hops for their birthday parties. You could make this card to go with the party theme. 

She is featuring the new Jukebox die for the main image. Her side panels are embellished with faux "vinyl" records from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die. The Happy Phrase on the bottom panel is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die.  The letters and decorative background panels are included with this die. 

This view shows the card inside. She ink blended the birthday phrase. It complements the card front.

And of course, the card folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard envelope. 

Card 2: Our next sample for today is from Pam MacKay. She is featuring a slimline design that has such great nostalgic appeal. The background checkerboard paper and her card colors really complete the retro look.  This one would be perfect for the classic car collector, someone who is turning 50 or who grew up in the fifties. I have family & friends in all these categories.  

She used the Classic Car (Side) for her main image. The phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. It's a perfect complement to the classic car. The other phrases are from an older 2018 collection - Route 66 Road Signs. They work perfectly with her card and are currently 75% off for our Black Friday sale. 

Card 3: The last sample for today is one that I, Mary Marsh, created. Turning 50 and images from the 50's are so perfect for my friend who is celebrating a 50th birthday soon. 

I used the Poodle Skirt die and cut from cardstock in a classic 50's look. I wanted to keep my card colors in pink and black - it's a feminine card after all (lol)!!! 

The Rock n Roll phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #2 die. I love the shadow. The Birthday phrase is from the Fifties Phrases #1 die. My other embellishments -music notes and records- are from the Guitar, Music Notes & Records die.  The arrow is from the 2018 Route 66 Road Signs die. It's 75% off right now. 

Well, that's it for our samples for today. Join us again on Friday for more team samples from this Classic 50's release.
