Mother's Day Gift Card

Happy Monday everyone!

Kathy here with a cute gift project today using CottageCutz Dies.

This is a gift card holder that I made with the new Large Confectionery Bag. I first cut the bag using Nana's Kitchen Paper. Where this is single-sided paper, I cut an additonal piece (green polka dot) to glue on the inside. (You can skip this step by using double-sided paper.) I decorated the bag with a butterfly from the Butterfly Mini Die and branch and flowers from the Bluebird Die using Certainly Celery and Real Red Cardstock and a little piece of blue. These were shaped and glued to the front of the bag.

This is the bag alone.

Inside the holder is the Spring Butterfly Notecard that holds the gift card. I used a small glue dot to hold the gift card in place.

On the back I added a small strip of green paper to hold a tag. The tag is from the Fancy Insert Card/Tag. I stamped "Happy Mother's Day", added a rose flourish on the bottom, punched a hole and added a piece of ribbon.

These are the dies I used.

Believe in Your Dreams Tag

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa here today and I am sharing a tag I created with the beautiful new This N That collection. This collection is full of so many cute tags, envelopes and notecards.

I layered the Large Confectionery Bag over my tag and inked the edges. I printed the quote out, cut the words apart and inked the edges. 

I cut out the fancy insert card/ tag and added it to the envelope.  The tag is so cute and I added the Mini Dragonfly to it. A little cheesecloth and a pin add a shabby touch. 

Thank you for your visit today! Have a great week!

Victorian Window /Video On "This N That" Release

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a Victorian Window Card I created using CottageCutz Dies. The Victorian Window is from the NEW "This N That" Release. 

I absolutely LOVE this CottageCutz Victorina window and the way it turned out. I thought hmmmmm what to do with this window, and as soon as I picked my design paper I knew instantly what to do. I took, the flowers from the CottageCutz "Tree of Nature" die, and layered them to create little flowers, perfect size for this window. Next I wanted some greenery,so I used the CottageCutz "Ornate Circle Frame" Die, it has some greenery in it, perfect size as well for my window.

COLORS-

Flowers-Colored with copicRV11

Leaves-Dusted with Distress Ink Peeled Paint

Window Trim-Dusted with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink

CottageCutz Shabby Teacup

 Hello sweet friends!  Today I would like to share with you a card made with CottageCutz Dies.  For this card I used the Teacup w/Saucer & Teabag,  Celebration Tabs Set of 3, Library Pocket, and Greenery.

 This is a close up of the Greenery die that was used with handmade roses made with the Spellbinders Rose Creations die. 

 A cuddlebug embossing folder was used to emboss the Library Pocket after it was cut out.  Brushed Corduroy distress ink was used to distress the edges.  A tag was cut to place inside the Library Pocket to hold the sentiment and the Butterfly from the Celebrations 3 Tabs was attached to the top of the tag.

This stick pin was made with some heart shaped lampwork beads I had in my stash.  I used some Want-2-Scrap pearl bling to accent the card.  Here are the dies used:

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I appreciate your comments.  Have a great weekend.  See you soon!

Two cards for Holy Confirmation

Hey, Vladka here. This time in more gentle tone :)

This is the perfect timing to make some cards for Holy Confirmation and sentiment means in Slovenian language exactly that . I always like to use pigeon as a symbol of Holy Spirit and these two cards are no exception. I didn't use a lot of colours on purpose, because I wanted clean and gentle cards for this occasion. For both cards I also made bookmarks in the same style as little additional touch for both projects.

I made little "Bible" from three layers of paper and top layer is also stamped with text. Branch and pigeon, made with Whimsy Bird & Cage die, gives to the card some freshness and colours.

The second card is more typical for Confirmation. Here I added Ornate Cross die and put pigeon together with Greenery on it.

I combined different dies for these two projects and here they are. Click on the picture will link you to the store

Have a great day!

Cameo & Oval Frame

Good morning everyone!

It's Simona with you again.

Here is my fist step card showcasing beautiful 

CottageCutz Cameo & Oval Frame die.

I cut the die out 3 times, once out of purple coredination paper

and twice out of white paper. The girl silhouette cut with

white paper was sponged once with vintage photo

and once with dusty concord.

The frame and the ribbon cut out of purple

coredination paper were distressed with sand tool.

The musical background I made myself. I stamped the notes onto

the speciality stamping paper with Archival Ink Sepia and stamped

the corners with dusty concord. Then I used antique linen and

vintage photo to sponge the paper and spritz it with some

water at the end.  I stuck the girl silhouette together

and used the purple peace as a shadow liner.

To get the 3D glossy effect I used Glossy accents.

The sides were cut once out of DP with Martha Stewart punch

and once out of white paper for back lining and

distressed with vintage photo.

The Thank you sign is a free file from SVG Cuts. It was

cut out with Sizzix Eclips and colored with copics.

To finish the card I added some beige lace from the stash,

 rhinestones and some flowers.

I hope you enjoyed todays post.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,

Simona
