CottageCutz Stack 'O Frogs

Good morning!  Well, it's just not every day that you'll see a stack of frogs, so please count this as YOUR lucky day!  :-)  It's Lorie from The ThINKin' Spot here today to share with you a fun and cute Halloween card that I created with my CottageCutz dies. 
 Fall and Halloween crafting is my favorite, and these sweet dies make it so much fun!  The frogs were cut with Copic X-press It Blending Card and colored with the Copic markers shown below.  This Chillingsworth Manor paper worked so well, because I think that little frog actually looks like he's conducting, which was indeed a perfect fit with the music note background.  I gave these froggies some extremely rosy cheeks by simply using chalk and a stiff bristle paint brush. 


Here's a look at the die I used for this card with a link to find it fast in The Scrapping Cottage Store.  Just click on the picture and it will take you right to it.


Wishing you a bright and beautiful day filled with everything you love!  Happy crafting!!

CottageCutz Wedding Cake

 Greetings Everyone-it's Carol here today!  Today I have a CottageCutz card to share.  It is make with the Tiered Celebration Cake die.  What makes this so versatile is that it could be a Birthday Cake or a Wedding Cake.  It was so fun to put together.  I just love these dies!
I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder on the cake to give it some texture.  I also colored my cake icing with copic markers.  The lace is Martha Stewart punch around the page.  There are tiny pearls in the center of the flowers on the cake. 

This is the beautiful die I used.  Isn't it awesome!  Please be sure to check out the whole line of the Wedding Collection.  They are just gorgeous!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it.  See you again soon.

Of course I had to use the DARLING CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny from The Scrapping Cottage!

CottageCutz Special Occasion Dress

Hi everyone!  Today's card features the CottageCutz Special Occasion Dress from the Wedding Release.  This dress can be made several ways for a variety of occasions.  I used patterned paper for the dress and inked the edges with Memento dandelion ink.  As I was seeing which papers I wanted to use for my card, I thought it would be cute to make a small notecard for the front of the card, using the dress as the opening.  Alone, the notecard would make a cute gift enclosure.  Added to the front of a standard card gives you a fun fold.  This dress could be used for prom layouts, weddings, Sweet 16 birthdays.


It happens to be my youngest son's birthday today.  He turns 16, but I don't think he would appreciate a Sweet 16 birthday card. lol  Enjoy your day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Happy Wedding Day


Hello and happy Sunday to you!  Oh, what a glorious Sunday it is for us, (and it's Lorie here today, BTW), because it's RAINING!!  We've seen little more than a drop here and there for almost exactly 4 months!  We're DEFINITELY doing the happy dance today!!  Another reason for happy dances would certainly be weddings, and I have a card to share with you on this rainy day that was made with CottageCutz dies from the Wedding Release at The Scrapping Cottage.    Here's the card I created with the dies, which I'll list below. 
This is the fabulous CottageCutz die I used to create this card:

Here's a close-up picture of the car.  I thought you'd like to see the gorgeous sparkle that I gave this piece by spritzing it with some Shimmer Mist (Frost).  It IS a wedding card after all, and ya just can't have a wedding card without some bling.  At least I can't!  ;-)
I used a variety of Copic markers shown in the photo below to color the image, which was cut with Express It Blending Card.  The VERY best choice for coloring with Copic markers, in my humble opinion.  Oops!  Looks like I've got BOTH of my N4 markers in there!  LOL!!
Here's a closer look at the entire card.

And again, here is the finished card.  The sentiment comes from Stampin' Up!, as does that beautiful ribbon.  I added a few rhinestones to the cans, for yet a little more bling.  Gotta LOVE that bling!!

Thanks so very much for visiting The Scrapping Cottage Blog today!  We always love to have you stop by!  I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day, and that you're finding reasons to be doing the happy dance, too!  Happy crafting!!
