Sweet Cupcake Birthday


Hello everyone from Simona!

Today is my friend's birthday so I was
feeling like making a birthday post for 
with beautiful CottageCutz dies:
retired stamp Circles w/ Eyelets (4x4).


For the base of my card I picked red card stock and
some BoBunny paper from my stash to used it as a
background. I did the stitching with the sewing machine.


I cut all of the dies used out of white card stock and
used distress ink pads and copics to color them. I used
some glossy accents on the cherry and some stickles
Star Dust on the cupcake. 


I stamped the sentiment and added a button with a
red twine. I also used ribbon and rhinestones.


Handmade cards are a special gift on its own and I hope
there is someone special in your life you'd like to make
them a card and show them in a special way how
much they mean to you... :)


Visit The Scrapping Cottage Shop where they are 
having a National Scrapbook SALE up to 60%.
Don't miss out, IT ENDS TODAY!!


Happy Crafting!

Hugs,
Simona

Thinking of You

Happy Friday!

Kathy here with you!  Today I have a “Thinking of You” card using the Thinking of You Expressions, Strawberry Delight and Flower Vine CottageCutz Dies from The Scrapping Cottage.





To make my card, I started with a white card base, added light blue gingham paper with a piece of red gingham ribbon over the bottom of it.  The Flower Vine, leaves and strawberry tops were cut with green designer paper. The sentiment, strawberries and flowers were cut with Real Red card stock.  The bowl for the strawberries was cut with flowered and blue designer papers and I cut the rim a second time with Real Red to go under the blue rim.  The designer papers are all from Nana's Kitchen by DCWV.

For the bowl of strawberries, I cut an extra single strawberry and popped the two singles behind the trio of strawberries.  The little flower in the top right corner is part of the Strawberry Delight Die that you can also place on the bowl.  I decorated the flowers a little with some liquid pearls and a white gel pen after shaping them.

I finished the card with a triple loop bow using Moss Seam Binding and added a red button threaded with blue twine making a bow in the back of it.

These are the dies I used:

CottageCutz Sweet Spring Kitty

Can you believe Mother's Day is just around the corner.  Hello CottageCutz Lovers and welcome.  It's Carol today.  This is a card I created with these sweet CottageCutz dies.  Have you noticed lately how burlap is all the rage,   I have to admit that I just love it.  I used a piece of hot pink burlap on this creation and rolled some roses with it too.
This is was so fun to make.  I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Mowed Lawn, and Mustard Seed distress ink to color my basket and flowers.  Love using distress inks.  The more I get ink on my fingers the better I like it....lol   Thank you so much for stopping by to see what I have been up too.  I appreciated your visit and wish you a day filled with the best creative endeavors!  Here are the dies I used.

Spring Daffodils



Hello again! It's  Simona with you today.

I would love to share another Easter card with you
I made with beautiful CottageCutz dies
The Scarpping Cottage Blog.
These two dies go so well together.

Take a look


The dies were cut out of white card stock. I colored
Spring Daffodils with distress markers and for
the Ornate Cross I used antique linen distress ink pad.



Then I glued colored Spring Daffodils on top of
the Ornate Cross. The background was dry embossed.



Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter...

Take care and see you all next time!

Hugs,
Simona

Baby Buggy

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Kathy with you and today I have a cute baby card for you using the Baby BuggyBest Wishes, and Fancy Floral Lace Border CottageCutz Dies from The Scraping Cottage.




To make my card, I started with a square 4 1/4" white card base and added a piece of Fancy Floral Lace Border cut with light green paper (Chick-a-doo from S.E.I) to the bottom.  I cut a light green mat (3 1/2" x 4 3/8") and an embossed white mat slightly smaller and glued them together.  I folded Baby Pink Seam Binding in half, wrapped it around the bottom of the mats and glued it in place.  I then added the mats to the card with pop dots just above the border.

The Best Wishes Die was cut with the light green paper and glued to the mat as pictured.  The Baby Buggy Die was cut with white, light green, and a flowered designer paper from Nana's Nursery - Baby Gift Paper from DCWV.  I shaded the white pieces of the buggy body with Pixie Dust VersaMagic Ink and  glued all the pieces together as shown using a mixture of the light green and flowered papers.  The buggy was added to the card with pop dots.  I added a larger flower to the buggy with Diamond Stickles in the center.  I made a triple loop bow and added a smaller flower with White Opal Liquid Pearls added to the center.

These are the dies I used.
