CottageCutz Happy Birthday Kitty


Good morning, and happy Monday to ya!  It's Lorie here today with a cute little kitty card that's just purrrrfect for celebrating a happy birthday for someone special.  This adorable kitten was cut out using colored card stock, and the edges were sponged to give it dimension.  After sponging, I added some stripes to the kitten using Copic markers, and the facial features were all colored using Copics as well.  For the white tip on the tail, I simply used a white gel pen and colored in the top part of the tail.  
 The edges of the card are hand crocheted, and you can drop by my blog, The ThINKin' Spot to find out more about how I crocheted directly onto the paper. I did include some faux stitching around the plaid panel.  I threaded some seam binding through the picket fence, and I distressed the edges of the circle frame.  The happy birthday sentiment and the sweet little face on this gal both come from Peachy Keen Stamps

Here's a closer look at this cutie!  I used the following CottageCutz dies for this card (just click on the picture to go directly to The Scrapping Cottage for all the info and pricing):

 


I hope you've enjoyed my little project today.  I sure enjoyed creating it for you!  I'm so happy you could join us today here on The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  May you have a blessed and beautiful day filled with lots of happy crafting!

CottageCutz Zinnia Flower & Video Tutorial

Hello everyone Cheryl here with the CottageCutz Zinnia Flower from the Spring Release. I love this flower and wanted to share a video on how I made them super easy!
Supplies used:
Cryogen White Card Stock
Glimmer Mist /Tattered Rose
Glimmer Mist /Pink Bubblegum
Helmar/Scrap Dots(glue)
Tweezers/scissors 

3 of the middle size large flower
3 of the small flower, this will create the big flowers, to create the small ones just use 3 small and do the same steps.
All I did was spray the Glimmer mist, and set aside for a moment, then dab them to remove excess glimmer mist. Then I scrunched them up and glued them using the wonderful scrap dots(my favorite) then set aside to dry fully before using on project.


There are sooo many possibilities with this CottageCutz Zinnia Layered Flower and  I love it!!!! You can add pearls,brads ,buttons,glitter,beads or whatever you would like to the centers of these. They are perfect for cards,layouts,albums, or any altered item of your choice :)
