Nativity Angel and Fancy Butterfly Vine


Hi there, Vladka here! This time I present you two simple cards for baptism. 


 Dies are perfect when there is no time and helps you to make quick, simple and cute card. This time CottageCutz Nativity Angel and Fancy Butterfly Vine dies were very helpful. 


The second one I used twice: first I cut out the butterflies and used them on the front. The second die cut I used inside of the card. 


These angel motives are so cute and they can also be used on the cards for other sacraments or for birth for example. I also used them for making bookmarks.


I wish you all great Sunday!

Bella Spring Tree with Fancy Lace Border and Ornate Birdcage


Good morning everyone and beautiful Friday to you all!

It's Simona here, sharing another card made with
beautiful CottageCutz Elites dies Bella Spring Tree,


For the tree I used white cardstock. But before I cut
the tree out I colored/distressed the top half of the paper
with different shades of green from light to dark and
for the bottom half of the paper I used different shades
of brown colors. Then I positioned the tree die on the 
paper and cut it out.


Once the tree was cut out I took another piece of white
cardstock and glued the tree on it. Then I cut the paper
into three equal stripes and matted them onto the
brown cardstock. The Fancy Lace Border and the 
Fancy Ornate Birdcage were cut out of white carstock.


I used brown cardstock for the base of my card and
some designer paper from my stash. I glued the pieces 
in place onto the DP paper and added some satin ribbon.
Then I glued everything onto the base cardstock.


I cut out my sentiment and added Fancy Ornate Birdcage
cut outs to both of the sides. I sponged them before gluing.
Because the dies are so intricate with beautiful designs,
you can use them in so many different ways to make
your projects interesting and pretty.


The CottageCutz dies are so easy to use and you
ALWAYS end up with a beautiful result. 
I hope you feel inspired and you'll try them out for
yourself. 

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Hugs,
Simona

dimension to the sweet sentiment.

CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame
Note this is a CottageCutz made easy die, so comes with foam

I love adding layers to my cards, as Its fun to create with many layers. I also added some RRR Sweetheart flowers, and ribbon. The dp is old, and is from Crafty Secrets. I had some paper pads in my Card Stock cabinet that I forgot about, so had to pull them out :) Nice finding stuff you havent used in awhile, or in years....lol

Fancy Floral Wishing You card

Hello Everyone from Olena.

Today I am sharing a Elegant Fancy Floral Wishing you card I created with Beautiful  Summer CottageCutz Collections 2013. 

For this card I used only one NEW die cut from Summer Fancy Floral Collection 2013 - "Fancy Floral Background"die (4.5x4.5).

 
 First, I cut background out using yellow cardstock. Then, I glued Elegant background to cranberry base card. For finish touches with background, I put small dots using white gel pen.

 
 Next, I stamped sentiment on yellow card stock and cut out with label die.

 

I, also, added  cream ribbon around card and ribbon bow on bottom of sentiment as shown in picture above. 


Have A Wonderful Weekend!

Fancy Cattails & Butterflies

Happy Monday everyone!

Kathy with you and today I have a card using a new die from CottageCutz called Fancy Cattails & Butterflies. Such a pretty little summer scene this is!





I cut out the die using Certainly Celery, then a piece of Real Red for the flowers that I cut and glued to it. The butterflies and cattails were cut with Solar White, colored with chalk inks and glued the main piece. This piece was glued to a white mat embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder that was matted with Real Red.

The white card base is matted with designer papers from Nana's Kitchen by DCWV. I then added some red ribbon and bow, adhesive pearls and White Opal Liquid Pearls for the flower centers.

Here is a picture of the die I used:

Fancy Cattails & Butterflies



Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday to all!
Today I wanted to share my card using the Beautiful CottageCutz Bella Spring Corner and CottageCutz Fancy Cattails & Butterflies dies.

I wanted to share using the Corner pieces in a different way. I wanted them to be a beautiful background layer for my card. So with that being said. I decided to use 4 of them, placed them centered on my 2 other layers, so they would look like a background cutout. So the corners are all 4 in the center of my card, of course spread out, so it could cover both layers. LOVE the look!


For the sentiment piece, I used the CottageCutz Oval Doily and Frame. It was a piece I had stamped on but had stamped a large sentiment crooked. However I save everything, and recycled it by cutting the bottom off and using it to stamp a new sentiment of course smaller....heheheheehehe LOVE Recycling :)

Here are the CottageCutz Elites I used:



For the CottageCutz Fancy Cattails & Butterflies piece, I just cut it out in the matching card stock, and then dusted it at different layers on it. I wanted it to stand out on my card. Design Paper is OLD Crafty Secrets Earthy Pack. The sentiment is SU!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely weekend!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Hello crafters. It's Carol and today I want to share with you a project I made with the beautiful Cottage Cutz dies.  These dies are so fun to work with.  For this card I used the Fancy Floral Butterfly Corner and the Filigree Butterfly Trio,
The Fancy Floral Butterfly Corner and Butterflies are real sparkly.  I painted the corners with glue and sprinkled with Martha Stewart Glitter.  It's hard to capture the details of this card but I ran the black card stock through a crimper and embossed the white middle band.
Black and White is always so elegant.  Don't you just love how lacy the corners look with this corner die.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope you have a wonderful craft filled day!  Here are the dies used:
