DELICATE BLOSSOMS

Hello dear friends ,

It's Saturday today and I'm Anita here. It's time for my weekly post for CottageCutz. As I am so fond of making flowers, CottageCutz  has some amazing 3D flower dies and you can create most beautiful flowers with these.

I use various flower making techniques and you can find them all under my post at the CottageCutz blog.
Today, I have created very delicate flowers that are so easy to make and look fabulous on any project.

Here is the card that I made. Please follow the photo tutorial below to get a detailed description of creating this card.

  

Step by step tutorial

The finished card measures 6 inches by 7.5 inches.

Emboss two pieces from CottageCutz Stitched Wide rectangle frame and  CottageCutz stitched Wide oval frame on thick white cardstock. Then cut around to get two die cuts like this.

Using Distress  ink, distress the inside portion with the die intact on paper and stamp the sentiment on oval die cut.

Cut out many pieces from CottageCutz leafy foliage die and CottageCutz 3Dflower #7 die on 160 gsm white cardstock

To make a big flower, you will need three big size and two medium size flowers. For medium flower, you will need, three medium and two small size flowers. Use the rest as filler flowers.

 

                                             
                                 
                         Colour the flowers and leaves like this.

Spritz water on the rectangle frame and score on board at 1/4 inch interval. Mount on corrugated cardstock leaving 1/2 inch all around.

                                                  Attach the oval frame using 3d foam tapes

Adhere the whole thing on to the card base measuring 6 inches by 7.5 inches. Arrange the flowers using Tacky glue.

Flowers on distressed background

Hi, is Vladka!

I love to work with Distress Inks, because it is so many possibility to use them and to play with them. So, I used three different colors today to create this card:

I will show you, how to create this background. Let's start!

Basics:
White card base: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (cut 5 1/2 x 11 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock or watercolor paper (5 x 5 inches)

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distres markers: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber
Other: paint brush, water, acrylic block, paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy,

1. With Doodle Flower Set 1 and Set 2 dies, cut 2 Flowers out from white cardstock. With Leaves and Stems die and Leafy Flourish 2 cut leaves and leafy flourish out from white cardstock. Color the flowers with Fossilized amber Distress Ink and distress the edges with Rusty Hinge. With Peeled paint Distress Ink color all the leaves. I used sponge to do this. But you can also color it with paint brush, distress inks and water, like I did it here. Spray the water on it and let it dry:

2. With Butterfly Kayla die cut the butterfly out with white cardstock and gently colored it the same way as flowers and spray it with water.

3. Flowers and greenery is prepared. Time to do the background. Take additional piece of paper and color the middle part with all 3 Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber as shown on the photo.

4. Now spray a water on it. It can be pretty much water, so that flows here and there. Leave it to dry or speed the drying process with heat gun.

5. Take biggest Square from Pierced Wide Square Frame Set (Basics) and cut it out from previous colored piece of paper to get one square and 2 square frames.

6. To get more intense colors on the smallest square, colored it again with the same Distress Inks as before and add some watter drops on it to get this interesting splotches.

7. Now, glue square and both square frames on the card base and glue also flowers, greenery and butterfly on it, as shown on the photo. I also cut out the Best Friends words with Best Friends Expressions die and added to the card.

You really need to try this, because Distress Inks and the water can do magic and using them together with CottageCutz dies is a fairytale. :)

Have fun and thank you!

Before I go, I just want to remind you on our second CottageCutz challenge with theme Hello Spring. Link button can be found here!

Happy Father's Day

Hello everyone!

It's Donna here with another card made with the CottageCutz dies!  I just could not help myself to use the anchor again for a Father's Day card.  Have you gotten your Father's Day card made? 

I also wanted you to know the new release for May is out and it is 25% off off in the store.  You may want to go check it out!

Here is how I put my card together....

• A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)
• Black layer is 4 x 5 1/4
• Blue layer is cut from the Cross-Stitched Rectangled set (I used the largest one),
• The circle is cut from the Cross-Stitched Circle set (2nd largest one),
• The anchor is cut with blue cardstock, I cut a piece of black foam and put the blue cardstock on top with adhesive,
• I added a piece of twine,
• Cut the "Father's Day" out of red cardstock,
• The "home" is white embossed.

Very simple and easy card.  I hope I have inspired you to give it a try!

Closer look at the anchor, it is popped up with black foam.

Also, if you have not had a chance to play along with the newest challenge you still have time. The theme is Spring and you have until May 31st to enter. Get all the details here.
