LIVE LAUGH AND RELAX

Hello!!

This is Anita here and I'm back with another wonderful project made from CottageCutz dies. This May, the new release dies-This and That has some most beautiful dies.
For my post today, I have a pretty floral card which has many dies combined and used in many ways.

Do have a look !!!




Here is the step by step photo tutorial on how I made this card.

Make a card base measuring 7 inches x 5 inches. Adhere a pink cardstock as mat layer 4.75 inches x 6.75 inches. Add a pattern paper 0.25 inches smaller than the mat layer. Distress the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. Create a die cut window using the CottageCutz Wide Rectangle Stiched Frame die and the CottageCutz Filigree Butterfly Pocket die
 

Add foam tape behind the die cut window frame.


 Cut out die cuts using the CottageCutz Victorian Birdbath and CottageCutz Greenery die and colour with Peeled paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink



Arrange the vine and leaves on the right corner of card using adhesive as shown.


Cut die cuts using CottageCutz Floral Spray die and colour as shown.

 

Arrange the flowers and leaves on the card as shown.




Add Sentiments and birds



The finished card

Love Birds!


Hello all,

It's Donna here sharing you one of the dies from the CottageCutz dies! I am using the new release in May called "Tweet". This is another one of my clean and simple cards.  It is a 4x4 card, that I used the largest square stitched die to cut the top layer.  I colored these adorable love birds with copics.  I thought this would be a nice card for a wedding so I added the "Best Wishes" sentiment die and stamped the words "love birds" with black memento ink.

If you missed the May release, please stop by the store and check the dies out. Also visit the blog and browse around and see all the beautiful creations made by the design team.

Here is my card....



I hope you have been inspired!
