Hello Card


Hi Everyone! 
It's Olena here today to share with you a HELLO card!  I made this card using the Super CUTE CottageCutz dies- Eiffel Tower, Lamp & Poodle dies from NEW 2013 Vintage Collection.


In first, I cut the Eiffel Tower in grey cardstock and sponged the edges with craft ink. 
For background of card I used two colors of patterned papers. I cut rectangular pieces of papers then punched the corner with paper punch and glued all on cream cardstock and basic brown card. After this, I cut oval and scalloped oval shapes using Spellbinders classic dies.


In a second, I added  all  pieces and  die cuts to card front as shown in picture above. I also, put under the Tower the sentiment "Hello". I think, this sentiment is perfect for this card. 


 For this card I used:

Wedding Chapel


Happy Thursday everyone!

Kathy with you today!  For my project, I have a center step card I made using two of CottageCutz's Dies, Wedding Chapel and Blossom Branch.   I just love these dies, they are so much fun to work with!





I cut out all the pieces with white cardstock and colored them with inks using sponges and make-up applicators. Some of the pieces were shaped a little with a molding mat and stylus. Here's a close-up of the die pieces. I love how the flowers came out with the blue ink and liquid pearls.






These are the CottageCutz Dies that I used.







I hope you like my project and it give you a little inspiration for using these dies!

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.

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
