Thank You Garden Flower and Urn Card

Hello crafty friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us for the Wednesday edition of the Blog. 

It's new release time!!! We have our annual Black Friday release available now in the online store. There are 19 different designs, and they can be used for all seasons.

We also have our Christmas 2023 release in the online store that has 40 designs. It's an old-fashioned Christmas theme. You can pick up the individual dies at 30% off for a limited time.
 

Today I am sharing a very quick, easy and pretty Thank You card created with some fantastic dies from the new Black Friday Cottage Cutz release. Here is what I created.

I made a top folding 5.5 x 5.5  square card. I love the larger size card as the sentiment is very big and bold!

I started by cutting out all my various dies in white cardstock. I went ahead and chalked the edges of my urn to give it some dimension and really make it look more like the concrete/cement urns you typically see.

I then colored the stems of the flowers I used with my green marker. I left the flower tips of them white. I then added some Stardust Stickles to them to give them a little touch of pizzazz. nI mounted the finished die cut onto some blue cardstock and then all that was mounted onto one of the stitched square scalloped eyelet dies.

I then cut out more of my blue cardstock and then added a piece of floral print paper as an additional mat layer.

I then cut the sentiment, Thank You out of the same dark blue cardstock and decided to add that to the top of my card. I then adhered everything to my card base and done! I think it turned out so pretty and love the big bold statement the sentiment makes.

The Stitched Nested Scallop Square I used is out of stock. Here is a very good, close alternative.

Well, that about covers it for today.  Until the next time, have a wonderfully crafty day!

Garden Tub And Flowers Thank You Card

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am back again sharing another easy, quick and pretty card using the new Cottage Cutz Black Friday release dies. Here is what I created.

I created a top folding A4 sized card. I started with black cardstock for my base. I used the new pretty Trellis background die and cut it out of white cardstock.

I then cut out flowers from the Garden Flowers die. I cut them in white cardstock and then colored them in.

I also used the Greenhouse Plants die and did the same, cutting them out in white and then coloring them with my markers.

Here is a closer look at the flowers once I put them in the garden tub die that is also a part of the new release. I cut the tub out in black and the handles in white. I colored the handles with a tan marker that made them look more wooden. I added some chalk and some white accents with my gel pen. I added the cute little Thank you sentiment from the Sentiment, Thank You Berry Much die. I colored it in the same color as some of the flowers.  I mounted all of that onto a double stitched rectangle mat with a piece of patterned paper for a little touch of color.

Here's a closer look at me adding in some diamond dots where the trellis lines meet. I thought this gave the background a little extra subtle touch.

Here is one last look at my completed card. I think it turned out really cute and love the almost farmhouse kind of feel I think it has :-)

Strawberries in Tub

Welcome CottageCutz friends!

Kris here with a sweet card that is very easy to recreate using our Black Friday Release.  The individual dies are 30% off!!  

Dies I used:

Strawberry Plant

Sentiment, Thank You Berry Much

Trellis Background

Garden Tub

Stitched Rectangles Set

Design Steps:

I die cut and colored my elements as shown above. I added some gold accents to the seeds on my strawberries.

My card base is cut from Pretty Peacock at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2".  I then glued my Trellis background onto card front. 

I die cut the largest Scalloped Oval from Poppy Parade and from vellum.  I then die cut the largest Stitched Oval inside of the red oval to make a frame and glued it on top of the vellum oval, then onto card front, as shown.

I added my strawberries in the tub to the middle of my oval with foam dots, then added the "thank you" sentiment to tub.

For the inside, I die cut the largest Stitched Rectangle from white and the large strawberry from the Sentiment, Thank You Berry Much die.

I taped the white panel to the inside center and offset the strawberry as shown.

Here's the front again.

Christmas French Horn

 Hello Friends 

Our new Christmas Release is available at a wonderful 30% off.  This collection has over 40 different dies.   It has everything you will need for your holiday paper crafting. Make sure to stop by the online store and check out all the fantastic new designs!

Today, I am using the Holiday French Horn.  This horn is a large die so it is a perfect size for a quick last minute card or a multiple set of A2 Christmas cards.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Holiday French Horn die cut out the following colors of card stock: gold, red, light green and dark green

2.  Card base is an A2 kraft card stock, piece of gold card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, piece of music DP 4 x 5 1/4

3.  Glue the gold to the kraft base and then glue down the music DP

4.  I tacked down the top of the horn and then stuffed in the holly, berries and additional single leaves. I then finished glueing down the horn if it needed it.   Add your little corner holly and berry

5.  For the sentiment on the inside I stamped in VersaMark Merry Christmas to You and embossed it in gold on kraft card stock then die cut.  For the front I stamped in VersaMark May Your Days Be Merry and Bright and embossed in gold on cream card stock then die cut

6.  I added my sentiment to the front as shown below.  And I added my sentiment inside plus a few added decorations as shown above

We have more inspiration on our YouTube Channel check it out HERE

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Blessings and Take Care

Hello Sunshine - Thinking of You

Hello Blogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit on this first Saturday of December!

It's new release time!!! We have our annual Black Friday release available now in the online store. There are 19 different designs and they can be used for all seasons.

The dies are broken into 2 different bundles and they are currently on sale for 30% off the individual  dies. 

Today we are featuring another card from Marla. She used the Garden Bicycle,  Hello Sunshine and the Garden Flowers dies from the Bundle #1 collection and created a thinking of you card. 

She achieved a great ombre look with the Hello Sunshine phrase by using spun sugar, worn lipstick, scattered straw and fossilized amber distress inks. 

The addition of the patterned paper helped to ground the bicycle. The background arch reminds me of one you would have in your garden to train flowers to grow up it. 

Marla did a video reviewing the dies from the Bundle #1.  She also gives more info on this card we are showing today. Check that out here. There is also a giveaway.
