Once Upon A time there was a girl...and a boy...

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a wedding (or engagement) card using the Magical Fantasy dies.  My family has a big wedding coming up this summer and there are lots of activities scheduled so I need a few cards.  When creating this one I certainly had Joe and Abi in mind.

This card can be personalized with the couple's wedding colors for a truly special card.

The card base, oval and sentiment are a pearlized white card stock which makes for an elegant card.  I started by cutting the sentiment from this card stock, the rings from gold and the flowers from plain white card stock.

I used a self adhesive backing on the rings and the sentiment.  When using a self adhesive backing the die often cuts through the card stock but not the backing, making it very easy to lift the die cut piece up off of the backing.

Next, I used sponge daubers and colored the roses using a soft yellow, pink and green.

I often use a silicone mat when I am gluing die pieces together.  While the pieces dry they do not stick to the mat.

Then I cut an oval from the pearlized white and three from pink card stock. 

I stacked and glued them together adding the sentiment and entwining the rings on the sentiment.

I glued this to the card base and added the roses to the sides.

 Finally I added a small rhinestone to one of the rings.

Although this card is mostly white, it has a hint of color in the stacked ovals and the flowers set off the sentiment.

Fairytales!

Good Morning Friends.

It is Pam creating with you today!

I just love all of the Disney princess cartoons and this new release reminds me of all of those special fairytales! If you go to our store right now they are on sale for 25% off!  Please take some time to check them out.

Design Steps:

 1.  Using the Princess Carriage die cut all the pieces out with purple, pink, dark pink and yellow card stock

 2.  Use your favorite ink and add the shading

 3.  Assemble the carriage

 4.  Using the Princess Dress Up die cut out the girl using dark pink, purple, yellow and tan.  Shade the pieces and them assemble them

 5.  Using the Fairytale Princess die cut out the words "fairytales do come true."  I used black fun foam with an adhesive backing. I cut the words so the sticky side would be on the top.   I took off the waxy paper protecting the sticky surface from each of the words and sprinkled fine gold glitter over the sticky side.  I then burnished the glitter so it would adhere completely

 6.  Use a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of DP and glue the words to the top as shown

 7.  Glue the DP to a A2 black card base

8.  Add a piece of black card stock to the bottom to resemble rolling hills.  Pop dot the Princess and Carriage to the card

Princess Card

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm back for my design team post.  I'm sharing a princess card created with the new Magical Fantasy die release.  The die sets used on my card are sure to bring out the inner princess in all of us.

The floral paper was the inspiration for the hot pink colors on my card.  I also incorporated some vellum on my card base.

I used the Princess Dress Up, Princess Accessories 1 and the Little Princess & Roses dies to cut out all of my pieces using card stock. The circle is from the Nested Stitched Eyelet Circle Set.  The die cuts were inked on the edges for extra dimension.  A black gel pen was used to add some eyelashes to my princess and a bit of chalk was brushed on her cheeks.

I created my A2 sized card base and adhered vellum to the bottom portion.  The vellum toned down the patterned background so the "princess" sentiment and roses would pop on my card.

The sweet princess and her purse were adhered to the die cut circle. All of the pink really stands out against the basic white circle background.

The circle was centered on the top portion of my card. This card is perfect for any little girl who is a princess!  

Here are the dies I used on my card available here:

Magical Wizard

Hi, Janja is here with you.
For today, I prepared a shaker card with a wizard.

- CottageCutz dies: Magical Wizard, Clouds & Sun, Circle Set
- card base: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,8 x 14 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4 x 5.2" (10,2 x 13,2 cm)
- colored cardstock
- colored ink pads
- glue, self-adhesive foam tape, foam pads

First, die-cut a wizard dressed in his magical dress decorated with stars.
Die-cut more stars, for the shaker filler.

Die-cut two clouds and stamp the sentiment.

Prepare a card base, a transparent foil and a patterned paper.

For a magical background I used a digitally printed scene-scape card by Lavinia.
Die-cut a hole in upper part of the paper. Of white cardstock cut out several round frames.

Now paste all the frames with each other. When the frames are glued, their thickness must be equal to the thickness of your foam tape.
Fasten them together with the foil to the back of the patterned paper.

Add stars in the shaker frame and cover them with a small piece of patterned paper.
Attach the background to the card base with foam tape.

 As a final step, paste the wizard on clouds with foam pads.

Have a nice day.
Janja

 

Make A Wish

Hi!

It's Anja here. Finally I got my hands on the new Magical Fantasy Designs Release. So much cuteness in all the dies. Couldn't wait to try it out. And here is my first card, using three of the designs.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Flying Unicorn, Rainbow with Clouds, Fairytale Birthday),
- Distress Inks (Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Mustard Seed, Wild honey, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord, Broken China, Faded Jeans, Black Soot, Pumice Stone) and Oxides (Broken China),
- white card base (10x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- water color paper for background (9,3x20,3 cm),
- gold pigment ink,
- white pen,
- makeup brush,
- water spritzer,
- baby wipe,
- heat gun,
- paper glue,
- adhesive foam pads.

First I made the background. I cut the paper and colored it with this makeup brush.

Then I spritzed the paper with water and tapped the drops with a wipe. I dried the paper with the heat gun.

Next I cut the unicorn. I colored it with Distress Inks. I used gold ink for the wing and the horn.

I colored the rainbow next. Again I used Distress Inks.

I cut the sentiment from white card stock and colored it around the edges to match the sky on the background.

And then I just glued everything together. I used adhesive foam pads for the unicorn.

And my card was done.

 

 

This is all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again next Sunday.

Anja Z.
