Bella Baby Boy Funky Fold


Hello everyone Cheryl here today to share a Bella Baby Boy Funky Fold Card using the Darling CottageCutz Baby Release. For my card today I used the SWEET CottageCutz Baby Boys Clothes die cut for most of my images on my card. Most are colored with copics, and others are cut out in blue and brown card stock. Next I cut out some of the CottageCutz Diaper Pin Mini's to put along the bottom of my card.


Photo's below are linked to the store for easy finding, Just CLICK on any of the photo's! :)



 The FUNKY  FOLD card base has been around for many years, I do have some OLD video's on it, and you can find them HERE.

The design Paper I used is some of my Favorite Baby design Paper.Love the designs on it. However in the photo's its hard to see. I also used some Really Reasonable Ribbon Moss Green Leaves for the sides and the bottom.
Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz - Springtime Strawberries Small Gift Bag

Hello Everyone from Olena.


Today I am sharing a cute Springtime Strawberries Gift bag I created with Beautiful 

For my project I used small turquoise gift bag from Dollar Store. First, I cut Strawberries out 4 times using green, red, cream and yellow card stock and then, sponged with craft ink.
WOW....., this Beautiful Springtime Strawberries die cuts is awesome. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!


 Next, I cut classic and scalloped squares and glued together. I, also, used red eyelets for finishing touches. 

Then, I glued image on base square panel and added sentiment "Happy Birthday" on it. Decorated card with Stickles and Dew Drops.



For this project I used:

Daisy Showers


Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's Kathy with you and today I have a card using CottageCutz's Daisy Showers Die!





This is such a cute die! I had so much fun trying out different color combinations, and finally decided on yellow, green and white. The die was cut using Solar White Cardstock by Neenah and colored with chalk inks and makeup sponges. Here's a little close-up for you.




I added Aleene's Paper Glaze to the flower centers to pop them a bit. I also added an extra flower on the boot in the opposite colors. The card base is Lemon Tart Cardstock by Papertry Ink made into a square 4-1/4" card with Solar White mat particially embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from Seeds of Summer by JustRite. I finished it off with white lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Kaiser Craft adhesive pearls.

Here is the die I used...

A bowl full of strawberries

Hello dear friends of CottageCutz dies.
Today I am (Simona) sharing with you another
card made with beautiful CottageCutz dies:
I thought it would be fun to use those two dies together.


I cut the strawberries out twice from white cardstock and
colored and sponged them with distress inks -
barn door, fired brick, peeled paint and pine needles.
I cut the largest bowl out of DCWV paper - Nana's Kitchen Stack
and sponged the edges with distress ink vintage photo.


I cut oval doily out of white cardstock and placed it 
under the bowl with strawberries.


The background paper and the Welcome tag are also
from the same DCWV paper collection - Nana's Kitchen Stack.


I added the little flowers from the Spring Strawberries die
to the card and made a double bow.

Hope you like todays post.

Thank you for looking and wish you
all a great day!

Hugs,
Simona

Cottage Cutz Vintage Bath Tub Gift Box

Happy Saturday.  Welcome friends and bloggers to another Cottage Cutz Creation.  Today it's Carol with a Gift Box.  This was created with a plain old corrugated cardboard box.  You can do anything with a few pieces of scrapbook paper, lace, and embellishments.  Warning:  This post is picture heavy!
The Vintage Bath Tub die from Cottage Cutz was use for the focal point.  It was mounted on a few spellbinders dies.  The corners of the box are the Bella Spring Corner.  The Bella Leafy Branch was used under the flowers.
The box was covered on all sides with paper.  The bottom has a Martha Stewart Deep punched border trim.  When covering your box, don't worry about covering those corrugated edges.  You can paint them with paint or gesso like I did and you just get a Shabby Chic look to your project.
Lace was glued around the top edge of the box along with some crochet trim and a row of bling.  The bow was created with sheer ribbon with pieces of lace inserted between the layers for fullness.
Cut the Vintage Bath Tub die with white cardstock and use your Copic markers to shade the pieces and assemble.  It doesn't show well in the picture but I painted the pieces and the flowers on this box with Twinkle Toes Glimmer Glam.
The flowers were created with two different size Marvey Punches.  Pink bling was inserted between the flowers to compliment the pink in the main focal point.  K & Company Elegance Designer Paper was used to cover the box and create the flowers.
 So by now I bet you are wondering what you would use this box for, right?  Well here is what you could include in the box as a wonderful gift to someone!
A collection of Bath and Body Works products!  How fun is that.  I used the Eyelet Insert Card/Tag to decorate the bottles.  I just turned it upside down so the pretty decoration was at the bottom and punched a hole at the top to tie onto the bottles.  I repeated the decorations of flowers, the Bella Leafy Branch, and some pink bling.

As you can see, this would be a wonderful gift presentation-so don't throw out any of those corrugated boxes that you might think aren't pretty enough to alter.....they are.
 Here's a little peek at the individual Bath and Body Works bottles.
Here are the Cottage Cutz dies used.




Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you have a creative day wonderful day!  Take care and see you soon!
