Hi Everyone! It's Lisa here and today I am sharing a shabby chic vintage inspired card created using the beautiful new CottageCutz Heart Rose Wreath die.


I cut the shaped card out of white card stock and again in pattern paper. The pattern paper was run through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder.
Also I cut a piece of card stock in a lighter color and embossed it to place under the hearts.

The Heart Rose Wreath was cut in green and pink card stock. They were layered and the flowers were inked with chalk ink.
To finish off my project I dyed some seam binding with Glimmer Mist and topped it off with some florals.

I loved working with this die. I can see using this one on cards, altered items, tags and layouts!  So many possibilities!!!

CottageCutz Love Album

Greetings and welcome to another CottageCutz Design Team Post.  Today it is Carol here with a mini album made with coasters that were purchased a year or so ago at Michael's for 10 cents.  This was a super fun project to create.  Here on the front cover I used the Eiffel Tower, Lamp & Poodle, Tea Time Doily, Greenery, and Flower Mini Dies.

For page one and two the Perfume Bottle Mini, Doily Mini, Tea Time Doily and Poodle from the Eiffel Tower, Lamp, and Poodle dies were used.  On the right is an expandable tag holder (3 tags) and there is a tag behind the Tea Time Doily.

For page three and four the Magnolia doily, Poodle Mini and Button Flower Mini, Stem Mini, and Tea Time Tags in the pocket were used.  The punched border is from Martha Stewart.

Page five and six use the following dies:  Tea Time doily, Button Flower, Stem Mini, Dress Form Mini, and Eiffel Tower Mini.  Be sure to check out the video to see how the element on page six opens.

Page seven and eight use Tea Time Tags, Pumps Mini, Clutch Mini, and Magnolia Doily dies.  Be sure to check out the video right below to view all the interactive elements of this album and detailed descriptions of the embellishments such as lace, rhinestones, paper, and pearls.

Here is the list of dies that I used for this project with links to the actual products.


Thank you so much for stopping by today to view my Love Mini Album.  I really appreciate it.   Happy Crafting!

Pennie Pocket Tweet Love

Today I'm sharing a Pennie Pocket made from Paper. I've seen these done with material but wanted to come up with a design for paper. Here is my version of the Pennie Pocket :) Hope you like!

I added the Darling CottageCutz Tweet Love Bird die cut to my Pennie Pocket here. I layered her on the CottageCutz Doily Mini. 

I used lots of RRR/ribbon, lace , trim, and some feathers on this lil' Pennie Pocket. Copics to color.





I really had a lot of fun making these, and have done a video tutorial on how I made mine. Hope you enjoyed my post today!!!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Just Married Car

Hi, Vladka is here. 

Valentine ’s Day is behind us, but time for weddings is coming,  so I decided to play a little bit with Just Married Car and made an invitation and holder for a menu or napkin.  In the same time,  this holder is also useful like seating arrangement,  because it has a name on it.
First I embossed a car with an embossing plate and then colored it with Distress Inks.  I have to say,  I like how it looks like.
I wanted to create simple invitation,  but when I made it,  something was missing and I decided to add some stitches and it was a good decision because I get more romantic look.

I love CottageCutz Wedding dies,  they are so lovely and romantic.  Just take a look.  
And here is my car:

I Love U


Hello everyone , today I'm sharing my card designed using 4 different CottageCutz Dies. I LOVE this sweet CottageCutz "Puppy Love Carrier" he is too CUTE!

I decided to airbrush him using the copic markers, and airbrushing system. I then went in and used some Creative Inspiration Paints on him and the LOVE after they were colored. The Bee Mine frame was done using the same technique. I used the center piece as a templete so I could leave a white area for my image.


CottageCutz Dies Used: All are LINKED for easy finding.






The I and U are from the CottageCutz Sugar & Cream Alphabet Die. I cut them out with white card stock and colored them with black. Lastly I added some RRRibbon, and a button with some gems.


Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
