Pretty in Pink Romper bear/Alcohol Ink Technique Video

Hello everyone , today's card is an Easel Card with a Alcohol ink technique I used on the CottageCutz Romper Bear. I have a video if you would like to watch on how I inked her up :) 

For my card I used several different CottageCutz Dies. I added pictures of the CottageCutz dies used below :)

First is the Romper Bear, isnt she CUTE???!!!! I just LOVE this lil' Darling! I inked her up and then added her romper outfit using dp. All pieces were glued together using Helmar Premium Craft Glue.

Next she is sitting on some GREENERY this is a CottageCutz die, and has 3 different greenery branches to choose from. I used all 3 on my card here. I did cut them out with green polka dot design paper.

I also used the CottageCutz Baby Buttons Mini,  these are super DARLING!!! I cut them out with matching coordinating design paper and then ran thread through them, to make them look sewn on :)

Lastly I used the CottageCutz Baby Frame to frame the Romper Bear. I also used a piece from the CottageCutz Large Baby Doily and Frame. I thought it would look cute up on the top of the Baby Frame.

All the Dew Drops are from the Robins Nest, they are called Lovebirds! I used them around the coners of the card, or for the corners of the card, and glued them on with Helmars Gemstone Glue.

CottageCutz Christening Gown

Hello friends and bloggers.  It's Carol here with a creation.   Today I have a Cottage Cutz Baby's Christening Card for my project.   Did you see the Baby Collection at The Scrapping Cottage.  You have just got to check them out here.  They are so cute!

This card measure 5 x 5 inches.  I used Martha Stewart's Lace Doily punch around the page and Spellbinders Square Fleur De Lis.  All other dies are from Cottage Cutz including the flowers

 

The flowers were created by die cutting three petals each for a total of 9 flowers to create the three you see here.  I used the McGill Blossoms kit to create the dimension in the flowers and then attached a pearl in the center.  After they were assembled I stickled the edges.

Here are the dies I used to make this card from Cottage Cutz:

   Thanks for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it.

Baby Release Variations

Hello friends!  Today I wanted to share some of the assembled die cuts from the CottageCutz Baby Release.    I want to show you how small changes can sometimes make big differences.  First I have several Christening Gowns cut out in various colors.

These 3 gowns were cut from off white cardstock.  The one on the far left is just the diecut.  The middle gown was distressed with YR0000, pale chiffon copic.  The 3rd gown was distressed with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink.

Next we have 2 blue gowns cut from the same cardstock.  One was distressed with Memento Summer Sky ink, the other with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink.  This gives a very different look to 2 gowns cut from the same color.  The green gown was distressed with Memento Pear Tart ink.

The pink dress on the left was stamped with some small vines and a heart using Memento Angel Pink.  That is my favorite from this selection.  It looks much nicer in person.  The second pink card was highlighted with a white gel pen.

Finally I have 3 bears cut with the CottageCutz Romper Bear to show you.  2 were cut from Kraft cardstock, the other was cut from plaid patterned paper.

Different outfits on each bear and all 3 bears were distressed with the tea dye ink.  I hope I have inspired you to try different ways for using your dies.  I will be back in 10 days to share some finished cards from this baby release.  As always, thanks so much for visiting!  Enjoy your day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Sweet Little Baby

Good morning!  Well, it's Monday, and I hope it's shaping up to be a good one for ya.  Have you seen  this baby release from The Scrapping Cottage?  It just couldn't have come at a better time.  I spent the weekend celebrating two new babies that are to be born into our family within the next 4-6 weeks.  My niece will welcome her second little one at the end of next month, and on September 12th, my second grandson will make his debut.  It's so wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate these special blessings and that made it easy to find inspiration for creating this sweet card.

In creating this, I used the following amazing Cottage Cutz dies:

 

 

The adorable little baby elephant was cut out using Express It Blending Card, and I colored it with Copic markers.  On the beautifully detailed large baby doily and frame, I used a very heavy weight card stock, so that it would be stronger in order to hold the flowers and baby elephant die cut.  The flowers, turquoise grosgrain ribbon and sentiment from Stampin' Up! finished this one up, and on, what fun it was!!

I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to an amazing start.  Thanks for joining us here on The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  Have a fabulous day!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Build-a-Butterfly! you can double layer,triple layer like I did here! I used 2 of the big pieces of the butterfly and then 1 of the smaller for the fancy wings. I thought making it 

3-D with Helmar's Scrap dots was perfect, now the wings will stay out like shown in my picture. I distressed the edges too. the Dp i used on the bag is what I also used for the Butterfly, and its listed above as well.

The Flower Mini was cut using the same dp, and then distressed the edges with tim holtz antique linen. I added some pearls to the centers.

I also LOVE using the pennants, as they are perfect for cards,bags,layouts,mini's and other altered art!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl
