CottageCutz Wedding Day Trellis and Vines

 Today it's Carol here and I have something to share with you using CottageCutz Trellis and Vines Die.  Isn't this amazing!  I can just imagine the look on the Bride and Grooms face when they open this beautiful handmade card to celebrate their special day!

 To be quite frank with you I have no idea what the name of this style card is.  I have seen it done different ways but I am not sure if I ever read what the name of it was.  For all intentional purposes I will give you measurements on how I created this.  It is so easy and it looks so impressive.

 You are going to use a piece of card stock that measure 6" x 12".  You are going to score this piece at 3-3/8", 5-1/8", 6-7/8", and 8-5/8". 

 This is to show you what it will look like once you use your bone folder to crease the scores.  This card will stand on it's own beautiful and folds up nicely.  As you can see in the picture below.

The Martha Stewart Decorative Doily punch around the page was use to decorate the outside of this card.  I punched it continually.  There is a little bit of "fudging" on the 6" side but the 12" worked out perfectly. 

 
Use a cuttlebug embossing folder of your choice to create the embossed pieces on this card.  The measurements are 2 pieces for the ends at 2-7/8"x5" and 3 pieces for the center at 1-5/8"x5".  After embossing run Rangers Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink ever so lightly on the edges.  The center piece is the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Oval.  Cut one large oval in white and one the next size down in pink.  Emboss the pink piece with the same cuttlebug embossing folder and layer with foam dimensional pads.
  
Use the Vines and Flowers from the Trellis to decorate the outside edges of the card.  Doesn't it finish it off perfectly!  You will need 6 of the long vines and 2 of the small vines to completely decorate the edge as seen here.  The last finishing touch if desired are some pearl lines.

Thanks so much for viewing this project.  If you have any questions, please just leave a comment and I will answer to the best of my ability.  This was a bunch of fun to make and I would love to see yours!  Have a great day!

CottageCutz Wedding Chapel

Hello friends!  Today's card features the CottageCutz Wedding Chapel.  You can view the wedding release by clicking here.  I cut the chapel from white cardstock and colored with my Copics.  I sponged the cloud background to create my scene.  If you would like to see a video tutorial on how I do my clouds you may view it here.

CottageCutz ~ Pretty Birthday Wishes

Good morning!  How's it going today?  I hope you're having a wonderful week, and are ready for an even more wonderful weekend.  Lorie here today to share my first project with the new Wedding Release CottageCutz dies from The Scrapping Cottage.  WOW, are there ever some fun designs, and Cottage Cutz fans have been asking for these designs for quite some time!  You're just gonna LOVE them!!

For my card today, I decided to take the dress from the wedding collection and make it into a birthday card.  Is there a lady you know who wouldn't love to receive a card made with this?  I used some lacy paper from my stash to cut the layers for the dress and I sponged the edges with a bit of Stampin' Up!  Basic Gray ink, just to give them a little more depth.  Each layer is popped up with foam dots for even more depth, and this gorgeous dress was screaming for some bling, so I was happy to oblige.  Some individual rhinestones, a rhinestone strip, and rhinestone flourishes were just the ticket to finish this beauty off.

Here's the die I used for this card:

Thanks so much for visiting The Scrapping Cottage Blog today!  I hope you have a very blessed and beautiful day, filled with all things crafty!
