Ornate Cross

Good morning everyone!


Hey, Vladka here again. This is my fourth post on the CottageCutz blog already.  This time with Easter theme; two cards, one main die and two dies for combination.  I really wanted to have one Cross die and with Ornate Cross I get three dies, how cool is that! :)  First card is fresher and brings a little spring on the blog :)  I combined it with tulips, which I cut out from Watering can and Tulips die.  I just love this one and here is another idea with it :)

 
On the second card I experimented a little bit with background and with both cross die cuts, brown and white.  To get a little color I used this beautiful wedding die Trellis and Vines and cut out vines and wrapped it around the cross.  Both cards can be also use like invitations for Baptism or Confirmation.  You just have to change the sentiments and here you go.

 
And here is another idea with foil.  Do you remember my last project with watering can?  Here I used two die cuts of each middle and smallest cross.  I glued it together, put the foil on and a little color.  It looks like silver and I thought it will be fun to put it on the necklace. :)  What do you think about it? 

And here are all dies, which I used:

Hidden Pocket Card

Hello Everyone!  Sorry for the late post.  I am so used to posting on the dates ending in 7 that I forgot that it was changed this month because of it being such a short month.  I have a hidden pocket card to share with you today.  It was so much fun to make and I have to say I am pretty happy with the results.  I used the CottageCutz Vintage Vanity and Stool die.
The pocket is behind the image.

I made the bedroom scene and traced and cut the oval out for the mirror with my detail scissors.  I cut the vanity mirror frame 3 times and layered them on top of each other.  I did this so the table of the vanity would lay smoother over the "woodwork" and not have a bump.
 This is the back of the pocket before adhering to the card base.

This is the card front with tag in pocket and below is a picture of the sentiment I stamped in the mirror window when the tag is removed.
And here is the final card.  I ended up cutting it down to fit a standard card base of 4 and 1/4 X 5 and 1/2.
If you have any questions please ask.  I love to help if I can.  Have a great day, and  I hope you enjoy the 2nd post of the day.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Accordion Pocket



Hello everyone, today is not my normal posting day but wanted to fill in for Janice. Sorry its late, but we have had something come up. I did this page a week or so ago, and didnt get to share it on the CottageCutz blog, so figured today would be perfect time to do so.

I made a accordion file for this page. and used the Beautiful Vintage Release Hand Mirror w/ Cameo, and also used the CottageCutz Shabby Chic Doily. LOVE these dies!!! They are a must have for layouts and mini albums. I used the CottageCutz Oval Doily and left it blank so wording could be added later :)

I do have a video on this post HERE showing briefly how to make the pocket






Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs,
Cheryl

Simply Amazing

Hello everyone and welcome to 
CottageCutz Blog!

Simona here with my fourth post as a designer.


I really like CottageCutz Vintage Release dies. They are simply amazing!!!


To color my corset, fan and shoes I used Distress Inks - 
dried marigold, spiced marmelade, antique linen, 
tea dye and aged mahogany. 
To cut the border I used MS punch.


For the corset I used some burgundy tulle fabric and glued it to the back of the corset with hot gun. 
I folded it with my fingers as I went along.
I also added some white lace from my stash and some red eyelets.



Thank you for looking and wish you all a great start of the week!

Hugs,
Simona


Here are the dies used:

CottageCutz Flower card

Good morning everyone!   
Welcome to Scrapping Cottage Blog!  

It's Olena here. I wanted to share my NEW Flower card. I made this card using the Super CUTE CottageCutz dies- Oval Doily & Frame, Leafy Foliage  and Zinnia, Layered dies.

On this card I used the gorgeous CottageCutz Zinnia, layered die to create my own flower. I cut out using cream card stock, and then I airbrushed them with a yellow-orange Copic markers. Next I used Zip Dry paper glue to give them a 3-D look, and then added some large rhinestone to the centers of flower.

For leaves I used the CottageCutz Leafy Foliage die. I cut out using light green card stock.
  
   
I also used the gorgeous CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame die to create oval doily shape. I added  all die cuts to card front as shown in picture above.
Then, I decorated card with clear Dew Drops.


For this card I used:
