 Cindy is from Canada and has been crafting for a long time. She is a Wife,Mother, and Grandma who LOVES card making and spending time with her hubby and grandchildren. We are super excited to welcome Cindy to our team, and cant wait for you to see her work.

Kelly has been married to her HS sweetie for almost 19 years. They have 4 kids, 2 puppies  she is a  SAHM,and lives in tropical South Florida!  she's been paper crafting for 30 years now - starting with simple scrapbooking as a teenager.  She has since added on card making for the past 7 years and loves every minute of it!  Her crafting style is pretty elemental - She loves lots and lots of layers and lots and lots of color!  The more texture, element and embellishment to a card or layout out, the more excited she is  :)  When she's not crafting, you can often find her where her kids are - she is an avid volunteer at their schools and at our church.  I love being outdoors enjoying the beauty of our environment - the nature trails, beaches, biking with the kids.  When indoors, you can find me with my nose buried in a book (or two!) and I'm an aspiring writer and I'm constantly scribbling in (altered!) notebooks ;)  I'm honored to be part of TSC team!
We are super excited to welcome Kelly to our DT and cant wait for you to see her work.

CottageCutz Spring Release

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to you all! My card for today features the new Spring Release. Im loving these new CottageCutz dies by The Scrapping Cottage, and you will too!!
So for my card today I used these 3 CottageCutz:

For the Zinnia Flowers I cut them out in Cryogen White Card Stock and spritzed them with Glimmer Mist. I then put them together with Liquid glue. Next i cut my vine out with green card stock and thought a little green for this card would be perfect. I wanted to keep it a little simple on this one so you could see the beauty of the flowers and card stock i used. Also wanted you to be able to see the Magnolia Doily how I layered it with a circle. I then stamped my sentiment "on your special day".

I made a double bow, using 2 different ribbons from RRR. Then added my button.

Here are the close ups to see the shimmer and ruched card stocks i used.





thank you for stopping by and hope you will be back tomorrow we will have some exciting news to share with you all!!!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Cottage Cutz Shower Peepers for Easter

 Hi Bloggers!  Today it's Carol here and I have a cascading card to show you.   I saw this technique on Splitcoast Stampers.  You can get all the instructions by clicking here.

Look how cute these "Shower Peepers" are.  They are all just darling and this style card lets me show them all off.  They are just filled with personality!

This little guy is all smiles.  I cut him with yellow card stock and dry brushed the edges with black ink then I followed the little cut lines to add the "feathers" and added a few more of those lines around the whole image.  I gave him character with some blushed cheekcs (Copic R20),
When I first saw this chick I said, "Yep, that is exactly what I look like when it is house cleaning day".  lol  Isn't she adorable!
 I used the following Cottage Cutz dies for this card:





Thank you so much for stopping by today.  It was so much fun to make this and bring to you today.  I appreciate your visit!

Welcome Spring

Good morning friends!  Today's card features the CottageCutz Picket Fence Border and Tree of Nature dies.  I am thrilled that they now have the longer version of the Picket Fence.  It is a die I will use quite often, as I like to create scenes.  The Tree of Nature die is really versatile.  You can make a tree with blossoms or a tree with leaves or a Fall tree.  It has such cute accessories too.  An owl, bird, bird cage, squirrel and butterflies.

I cut all the images from white cardstock and colored them with copics.  I cut the cloud freehand with scissors and finished the card with a small bit of rafia.  Have a wonderful day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Flying By with Thank Yous

Good morning, happy Monday and welcome to The Scrapping Cottage Blog, where CottageCutz are ALWAYS blooming!!  It's Lorie here today, and I've got a sweet little airplane card to share with you that I created using the CottageCutz Airplane with Banner die from The Scrapping Cottage.  It's so darned cute paired with this perfectly coordinated paper,  from My Little Shoebox.

 I like to use white card stock for my die cut pieces, and color them with Copic markers, which is what I did for this card, choosing colors to match this wonderful paper.  The clouds are actually self adhesive die cuts from My Little Shoebox.  I found some pompom trim in my ribbon stash, and I added some rhinestone embellishments to the airplane and bottom of the card for bling.  Just gotta have that bling!!  For the stitched look on the wings of the airplane, all I needed to do was accentuate the debossed stitches that were already there with a white gel pen.   All in all, a pretty quick and easy card that looks more complicated than it actually was.  I love it when that happens!!

So happy to have you join us today.  Have a blessed and beautiful day!

♥♥♥CottageCutz Happy Birthday Z-Tri fold♥♥♥

♥♥♥Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all♥♥♥
Todays card is a Z-Tri Fold that I made for The Scrapping Cottage using the DARLING CottageCutz Dies.
I love using these AWESOME dies, they are super fun and EASY to use! For my card today I used the  Sweet CottageCutz Kitty w/heart
CottageCutz/Eyelet Pennants
CottageCutz/Plain Pennants
CottageCutz/Ornate Circle

On to my card. I made a Z Tri Fold, i love making different folds so ive been trying to make ones that i havent seen out there yet. These are super fun, and can be used for pictures and lots of writing. there is room for writing on the inside, and the back, you can even make pockets like ive done with my Z-Gate Folds too.
for my sweet CottageCutz kitty with heart i dusted her with antique linen distressed ink. Her bow is colored with copics. For the flowers I used the sweet whimsy bird and cage die to get the smaller flowers, i cut those out of dp from My Little Shoebox.

Im LOVING the CottageCutz Pennants, I have to say they are super FUN to use, and ive been using them on a lot of my cards lately. I also think they would be perfect for mini albums and layouts!! The stickers are from My Little Shoebox and so is my design paper! I used Really Reasonable Ribbons. Fiber is some I bought from a crafting friend. I added some pearls to the little flowers.

Here is my card Open! As you can see Plenty of room for writing, you can add some white card stock for the left side and write on it, also on the back too.

Here is to show you how the card can sit. I wanted to show a couple different ways you can show the card.






 ♥♥♥Thank you for looking and have a lovely day ♥♥♥
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
