Sweet post

Hi all, Vladka here!
Today I have two cards for you. For both of them, I used dies from Sweet Love release. The first one is pink cake on old wooden cake pedestal. Now you already know me and you also know that Distress Inks are my best friends, when I´m coloring die cuts. This was not an exception. For wooden cake pedestal I also used white tempera to get this old look. But the most important was die and here I used Sweetheart Tiered Cake die. Cake was cut out several times and for lower part I used three of them: two were colored with pink and to all of them I made scallop borders and glued them together.
The second one is bowl full of strawberries and for this one I used Strawberry Delight die.  Bowl is cut out and stamped with little flowers. For background I used another die: Sweet Love Frame. The inside part of the die cut, which is actually die scrap, is really nice piece of paper with nice border and I didn´t want to throw it away, so I used it as background. I just stamped on it with gingham pattern stamp. And I also used die cut behind the bowl. Strawberries are colored with Distress Inks.
This is it for today. Have a sweet day!

CottageCutz Mr.Snuggles /beary cute LO

Hello Friends, today I have a Layout to share of my Son. This one is Called "Beary Cute" he was sooo darling when he was little...heheheehe and he still is. For this LO I used CottageCutz "Mr. Snuggles die for the Bears on my layout.

CottageCutz Mr. Snuggles is from the Winter Release from The Scrapping Cottage, and was cut using white card stock, and then dusted with distressed ink. I added pink cheeks and some white dots with a gel pen. Next I did his eyes with black Viva Pearl Pen.

The design Paper is another I bought at the American Crafts Warehouse Sale, its the Pebbles line. LOVE this!! Also used some stickers I bought there as well. Lastly I added some sewing to complete the page.


This page was pretty simple to make, as there is just the photo's matted and then I used the punches to punch out all the circles for the "beary cute". For the little banners by the bear at the bottom, I cut those and then added stickers to them, super easy!!! I will be adding this page to my Son's album. Love that I am getting some of the pages completed.

Thank you for looking and hope you have a wonderful day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Altered Valentine Box

 Happy Valentine's Day!  It's Carol today with an altered heart shaped box I picked up at from the Dollar Tree.  I had a blast creating this sweet little heart to fill with Valentine candy.  This box was originally red.  So that the color wouldn't show through the pink and white paper I chose to cover the box with, I painted this box white.  The paper is recollection and I cover the inside and outside of the box.
The Sweetheart Border die was cut six times, painted with Gesso and sprinkled with glitter.  After they dried I applied them to the top and bottom of the box along with a string of iridescent pearl trim. 
 
 On top of the box I used the Flourish Love Heart cut from white cardstock and also painted with Gesso and  glitter.  For the vine between the roses I used the Sweet Flourish.  The flowers were hand made.  I was experimenting with distressing the edges of the petals.  I love how much texture I was able to achieve on the petals.  In real life it gives them a fuzzy look.  I also painted the flowers with Gesso and sprinkled with glitter.  The box is topped off with a butterfly from the Fiigree Butterfly Trio.
 As promised here is my little mini album that coordinates with this box.  Thanks for stopping by today to view my project.  I sure do appreciate it.  Happy Crafting.  See you soon.  Here are the dies I used:

Baby Congratulations

Hi everyone!

I'm back again today, this time with a congratulations card for a new baby using the Christening Gown and Clothes Hanger Mini CottageCutz Dies.




I decide to make a cream on cream card using Natural White card stock from Neenah for all the card pieces.  The die cut pieces and mat were inked with Wheat (VersaMagic) and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.  The mat was embossed with the Rosa border embossing folder and the sentiment (Well Scripted - Stampin' Up) was stamped with Vintage Photo Ink.  I wrapped some pretty trim (Jo-Ann's) around the card and added a bow using Havana Brown Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon and my Bow-Easy Tool.

The mini hanger was glued to the back of the dress and the dress was added to the card using pop dots.   I also add the bonnet to the dress using pop dots.  Here's a little close up of the pretty dress and bonnet.





To finish my, card I added some adhesive pearls and a flower button with a fiber bow in it.  Very simple card to make and I love the vintage feel to it!

These are the dies I used:

Sweet Filigree Cupcake



Hi everyone!

Kathy here with you!   Today I have a birthday card using the Sweet Filigree Cupcake Die from the Sweet Love Release and paired it with the Cupcake Pocket with Note Card Die!




For my card, I used the Sweet Mat Stack papers from DCWV and a white card base.  Notice my cupcakes are chocolate...my favorite kind!  I added a little Diamond Stickles the "frosting" on the cupcakes to make them look even yummier.  The sentiment is stamped with brown ink using Teeny Tiny Wishes from Stampin' Up.  I added a little brown twine bow and some buttons to finish it off.

Here's a picture of the cupcake card outside it's pocket.  You can write a little note on it or stamp it.  You can also glue it in the pocket to keep it in place.




Here are the dies I used:

Cheers to you Treat Bag


Hello everyone, Cheryl here today to share a Treat Bag made for the Scrapping Cottage using the darling CottageCutz Dies. I love making treat bags, as they are super fun to decorate using the CottageCutz Dies! Today I used the CottageCutz Sweetheart Tiered Cake,Sweet Cupcake Border, Tea Time Doily,Sweet Love Doily, and Love Tags,all CottageCutz Dies.


For my Tiered Cake, I used white card stock to cut out all the pieces, and then colored them with Copics. I left the cake stand white and used some really pretty glitter to glitz it up a bit. I also did the same for the leaves on the Strawberry. My Sweet Cupcake Border ,Sweet Love Doily, and Tea Time Doily were both cut in white as well. For the Love tag, I cut it in pink, and then distressed it with pink distressed ink.

Thank you for looking and have a super wonderful day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
