Woman Silhouette in Victorian Frame

Hi all. Vladka here today.
This time I've combined one new and one old die. New one is taken from Victorian release and it is this gorgeous Fancy Victorian Frame. Older die was used just partly. I've used just silhouette from Hand Mirror and Cameo die
Frame and Cameo were colored with Enamel Accent Black and inside part of the frame is colored with white paint and sanded with emery paper. Background was stamped with text stamp and sentiment was stamped on vellum paper. 
This is it for today, I wish you good start in new week.

Shabby Chic Butterfly Post-it notepad

http://sweeetdesignsbycheryl.blogspot.com/

 Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday to all!
Cheryl here today and  I'm posting an extra post to share a Post-it Notepad I made using CottageCutz Dies,for a dear friend. We celebrated Janna's Birthday Yesterday at my house, with a luncheon and lots of crafty fun!

 I just had to use this beautiful CottageCutz Victorian Butterfly Flourish as I love airbrushing them. I also added some glitter in a couple of pink colors to give it some bling. Love the way it looks in person!
The card base was cut on the cricut, and then just added some circle layers in one of my favorite Bazzill Patterns, and in a Polka dot blue. Next I added some Sweetheart Blossoms, branches, and a little seam binding to complete my Post -it notepad for today.
 I also went through my stash of stamps, and found a couple of sweet ones, that were perfect for her card/post-it.

CottageCutz Victorian Gift Box

 Greetings friends and papercrafters.  Today's it's Carol with a  Cottage Cutz creation that is a gift box made with the beautiful dies from the "Victorian Release".  The dies from this release have gorgeous scrolls and sweeping lines.  They make an elegant addition to any creation.
The box was created with the We R Memory Keepers Gift Box Punch Board.  All the corners are embellished with the Butterfly Flourish Vine.  Tim Holtz distress ink Broken China and Stormy skies were used to color these vines.
On two of the sides the Fancy Victorian Butterfly accents the gift box.  The butterflies were painted with glue and sprinkled with sparkling glitter.
The Fancy Victorian Frame die was used under the cabbage rose along with the sweet Butterfly die from the Petite's collection.  The Bella Leafy Branch die is under the rose.
You can see how you can make your gift boxes shine as the star of the gift giving by dressing the boxes up with the gorgeous CottageCutz dies from The Scrapping Cottage.  Thank you so much for viewing this project today.  Until next time,  Happy Crafting.  See You Soon.
Here are the dies used:

Roses and Ornate Fence

Hi, all! Vladka is here today!
Spring is so beautiful with all blossoms, it gives romantic hint and I like the view on different gardens and houses with all these flowers and greenery. To illustrate this on my card a little bit, I used new Ornate Fence and Victorian Rose Vine dies. 
Fence was cut out from black cardstock and roses were colored with Copics this time. Sentiment is modified a little bit - I used Friends die cut instead of this part of the stamp. Background is stamped with text stamp and distressed with Walnut stain and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and with touch of white tempera. 
Have a great weekend!

Whimsical Greetings

Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday to all!
Today's card was designed for the Scrapping Cottage & Splitcoastampers Way to use it challenge. We were to use BUTTERFLIES! LOVE THIS!

 
So for my card today I used The Scrapping Cottage Vintage Butterfly Flourish, and airbrushed it using copic markers in these colors-
R39,100, YR09,C5,YR16. Next I added the green rhinestones to the body of my butterfly.
The frame I used is CottageCutz Fancy Victorian Frame. I dusted the frame using Spiced Marmalade. and then stamped my sentiment using Butterfly Wishes from the Greeting Farm Stamps.
The Design paper is oldie but goodie....hehehe its Basicgreys Ambrosia, love it! It has BUTTERFLIES on it as well :) Perfect for todays challenge.
 
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these CottageCutz Victorian Corners! They are so beautiful, and love the look of them. I did cut them using black card stock for today :)

CottageCutz Victorian Bird

Hello everyone, Cheryl here today with a card made using the CottageCutz Victorian Release. Yes I am LOVING this Release, and have been busy crafting away with these BEAUTIFUL dies, I just LOVE the CottageCutz dies, not only are they super fun to work with, but easy to use as well.

My card today measures 6" x 6" and I used some bright colors for this one. I always have a hard time using the bright PINK, even though I love the color pink, its been a challenge for me. However I love the way this one turned out, as I used the bright PINK for highlights instead of using it as the main focal point.

CottageCutz dies used are - CottageCutz Victorian Bird, CottageCutz Victorian Floral, and CottageCutz Fancy Floral Frame I used airbrushing on the Bird and the Floral piece. love the look it gives to airbrush with the copics, not only that but its super easy to do as well. Inside the frame I stamped a SU! birthday sentiment. 

Design paper is scraps that I had, and wanted to use up. I am trying to use up some of my scrap pieces that I have had in a basket. This is a nice challenge to get rid of scraps....Gotta love that!


CottageCutz dies used are 



I did add some RRR in a Moss Satin, and then a button, and some gems to embellish my card. The Friend Stamp is super OLD its a Greeting Farm one.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you for stopping by and taking a Peek!
Hugs to all, and thank you again for all your super SWEET Comments! I LOVE reading them!
Hugs,

Time is of the essence

Hello everyone, today's card was designed for the Scrapping Cottage and SCS Way to use it challenge. The challenge was all about "TIME"!
 
On my card I used the Beautiful CottageCutz Elegant Butterfly, and airbrushed it using the Copic Markers. Love the way it turned out! I also added some glitter to the flourishes on this, where the orange is.
