Box of Chocolates


Hello everyone, Simona here and today I am sharing a card
When I saw the Box of Chocolates die for the first time
I fell in love with the die... :). It was just one of the dies
I had to have it... :). And here is the card showcasing this
beautiful die.


I wanted to make a lever card so I designed my base card and
created the svg file for the lever card. The base was cut with Cricut.


Everything was cut out from white cardstock and colored
with Copics, just the corners were colored with
Ranger distress ink Vintage Photo.





These chocolates look yummy, don't they... :).





I am really happy with the final result. 
Hope you like it too... :).
Thank you for looking!

Hugs,
Simona

CottageCutz post - Pansy card

Hi Everyone! 


It's Olena here today to share with you a Beautiful Pansy oval card! I made this card using the Super CUTE CottageCutz dies- Pansy Seeds and Oval Doily & Frame .

  
On this card I used the gorgeous CottageCutz Pansy Seeds die to create my own pansy flowers. I cut out  4 times flowers and leaves using purple card stock, and then I sponge them with craft ink. Next, I used Zip Dry paper glue to give them a 3-D look.


I used the gorgeous CottageCutz Oval Doily & Frame die to create oval doily shape. Then, I stamp dots on oval shape with stamp using orange craft ink. 
The base card  was cut with Spellbinders dies. I, also, cut banner with yellow cardstock and stamp sentiment "MOM". 
I added  flower and leaves to card front as shown in picture above.

Garden Thank You

 
Hi everyone!  Kathy here with a card to show you using 2 CottageCutz' Dies, Garden Bird Branch and Butterfly Mini.





I cut the butterfly and branch using green cardstock and shaped the branch a little. I cut them again with white cardstock and colored the pieces with chalk inks. The birds and flowers were added with pop dots onto the first layer. I embossed the top portion of the white mat with an embossing folder and stamped a sentiment on the bottom. I wrapped ribbon around the mat and glued all the pieces down. I then added a bow and some liquid pearls.

I love this little butterfly die, I didn't much to it and it came out so cute! The branch will be good to used for the birds alone and the branch pieces to add to other creations and dies.  Here are the dies I used:

To create this look on the flowers I cut (3) medium and (2) small,

Use some distress ink on each petal and assemble.

For all book lovers

"The odd thing about people who had many books 
was how they always wanted more."
                                   - Patricia A. McKillip - 


So, I admit I'm odd and I can't help it! And my name is Vladka :) I just love books and no other media can't give you this special feeling like when you have one good book in your hands. That the fact. So, if you need a little present for your friend who loves books, you can make him/her a card and a bookmark. This is what I came up with:


I printed the quote on a card and made a shelf for books from two CottageCutz dies: CottageCutz Ornate Circle Frame and CottageCutz Spooky Iron Shelf. CottageCutz Die cuts are coloured with grey ink pad and with little white tempera. Also books are coloured with ink pads.


Bookmark is made from circle and CottageCutz  Ornate Circle Frame, which is not glued on a surface completely,  I glued it just on upper part, that it can be added on the page in the book.


Happy Easter!

Spring Chick-a-dee Basket

Easter is just around the corner and time to think of Easter baskets and Chocolate Bunnies!  Here's a little egg shaped Easter Basket I created with the Spring Chick-a-dee and Greenery die from CottageCutz.
A Martha Stewart Punch was used to create the decorative edge around the egg shaped basket and the little fence border.  The Martha Stewart matching border punch was used to decorate the handle.  Prima flowers and the Greenery decorate the front along with a little pearl swirl.  This Spring Chick-a-dee is all dressed in her Easter finery and ready to put a smile on the face of the person who receives it filled with chocolate.  Here are the CottageCutz dies used:



Thanks for viewing my project today.  Sure do appreciate it.  Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
