Hi, Janja here!

With great joy I share with you a card made with the June's release of the CottageCutz dies - Home Sweet Home. It comes with 24 beautiful dies that complement each other. I am sure that you will create with them in such joy as I did.
Let's see how I made the card.

In a natural cardstock make folds with a bone folder. Brush it with Distress ink Antique Linen. With the entire surface of a pad dragged over the cardstock. Cut out a heart. In the heart make two holes, insert a cord and paste it to background. Shadow the inscription and paste it on the heart.

Are You Ready for a Latte?

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here with another clean and simple card for your inspiration.  Who loves coffee?  I do!  I drink at least one cup a day.  The Scrapping Cottage has some really cute coffee dies and I am using the "Cup of Latte" on my card today.


How I put my card together:

1.  Card base A2 4 1/4 X 5 1/2
2.  The design papers measure 2 1/2 x 2 1/2
3.  I cut a small piece of design paper and tucked it under the pink layer
4.  Cut the circle out of the cross stitched circle die (third die from the largest)
5.  Stamped my sentiment
6.  Die cut all the pieces from the Cup of Latte die set
7.  Put the coffee pieces together
8.  The steam coming out of the cup is cut from vellum

All done!  This is such a cute card and I love this die set....you will see this again.  CottageCutz has a new release for this month, I hope you will stop over at the store and check it out.  All of the new release is 25% off.  Come back and visit the blog soon, the design team will have some wonderful creations for your inspiration!
