CottageCut Critterville Tree House

Wow, have you checked out the CottageCutz Critterville release at The Scrapping Cottage.  It's Carol here today to share a project.   Oh my goodness these dies are as sweet as can be.  And don't you just love the feel of spring with the sweet little animals and outdoor feel of the little critter cottages.  These are so delightful to work with.  I just cut out the pieces from some cardstock I had on my work table-it was bright lime green and kraft.  This is what I got after using distress inks.  I love me some distress ink!
For my card I used the following dies:  Critterville Tree house, Squirrel, Little Owl, Victorian Fence, and Greetings Expression die.  I can't wait to make the other little cottages.  They are just darling.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to check these super cute dies out.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!  See you soon.

Animal abode - second part

Hi! Vladka here again.
Here is my second "Critter" day and today I want to show you my other two cards, made with Critter release dies. If you missed my yesterday post, you will find it here
Today I used following dies: Resting FoxCritterville BurrowCritterville Tree House and Little Fox. First fox is resting under the tree and wants to say thank you for the hospitality. 
The second one is shy and curious at the same time. New neighbors just arrived and she is curious who they are.
Here are all four cards together. I hope you've enjoyed both days and see you soon.

Animal abode - first part

Hi, all! Vladka here today!
I was in love with Critter release in the moment I saw it. All this cute little burrows and tree houses and little animals. I could'n wait to get them and this is also the reason why I created four cards at once. But, I will show you just two of them today and another two tomorrow. :) Here are the first two, where I used following dies: Critterville Log HouseCritterville Bait ShackBear Cub and Rabbit
Every piece was colored with different distress inks and I used just part of animals, becuase I thought it would be cute if I put them behind the scene. So, now they are peeking from behind. 
Rabbit invites best friend to come over...
... and bear wishes welcome home.
This is for today, I hope you will stop by again tomorrow.

Butterflies card



  Today I am sharing with you my new Butterflies card I created with beautiful  

CottageCutz Collection of dies.

 
For this card I used 3 dies: Fancy Floral Background, Filigree Butterfly Trio and Butterfly with flowers.



 First, I created background using "Fancy Floral Background". I cut Floral background out using Sizzix machine. Then, I cut this whole piece of background with scissors on half. One half of background I keep for other project and another one, I used for this card. Just glued background on embossed blue base card and added 3 butterflies. All 3 butterflies I, also, cut out using cream cardstock. I forgot about ribbon. Yes, I added two colors of ribbon on this card and cute bow in the middle of ribbons. Decorate card with yellow rhinestones.

 
 For this project I used:

CottagCutz Storage Ideas

Hello everyone, and welcome to CottageCutz Week of "Storage Idea's" for your CottageCutz Dies. Carol here with how I store my CottageCutz Dies. This next week the CottageCut Design Team Members will be sharing how they store their CottageCutz dies with all of you. Its always nice to get some idea's of storage for our crafting supplies, and we hope that you find some inspiration from our Design Team. They will each be posting on different days this week sharing idea's on how to store CottageCutz Dies!
My  Cottage Cutz die are stored in one of those huge boxes you can purchase at Michaels.  You can see that I have rubber bands around my groups of dies.  That's because I like to keep the collections together.  It's just me!!!  I keep all my original packaging as well.  Yes I do!  I've always been like this even as a kid.  I had collect Boyds Bears since 1997 and it took me just 4 years ago to get rid of all the boxes and original foam packaging....lol  I'm a stickler for keeping things like new.
 This is another  box I keep my dies in.  I use my CottageCutz die a lot so I keep them close to me in my work area. Christmas and Halloween dies are stored away until the next season.   I like to keep everything in their original package.  It's just me and the way I am.  I collected Boyds Bears since 1997 and just 5 years ago I got rid of all the original packaging for those.  I like to keep things like new.   Maybe I'll change this some other time.  But for now I like them this way.  I am a die-a-holic and require the 12 step program for my addiction...lol  I do use the magnetic pages and binding system for wafer thin dies, cut I like my CottageCutz with the original pictures so I can refer to them when piecing the die cut pieces together.

Well folks, that's all for me today.  Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Crafting!

CottageCutz Storage Idea's with Vladka

Hi everyone. Vladka is here today. 

This week the CottageCut Design Team Members sharing how they store their CottageCutz dies with all of you. It is always nice to get some idea's of storage for our crafting supplies, and we hope that you find some inspiration from our Design Team. Each of us will be posting on different days this week sharing idea's on how to store CottageCutz Dies! 
Hope you will stop by and take a peek. 

And this is not all, you can already see how Olena and Cheryl store their dies and today is my turn to show you how I store mine. I have bigger ones on my so called CottageCutz wall. It looks like this:
What I like about them is that they are mostly always in standard sizes as 3x3, 4x4, 4x6, minis and so on. So, because of that it is much easier to store them. But before I hang them on this rails, I took away the original plastic cover and put the original paper sheet together with die in the bag. I buy little bags in different sizes and each of them has a zipper which is really practical, because I can take out and put dies back how many times I want. I also made video for you where I try to show and tell more about my SC storage. If you want to see the bigger screen, just click on YouTube in the bottom line of the video.  And here it is:
As you´ve seen in video, I have my minis in the wooden box with 6 drawers and also here I try to keep them in some order. Here you can see how this box looks like:
I hope this was interesting and maybe this gives you some idea how to store your dies. Have fun!

CottageCutz Wedding Shower Tag

 Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of CottageCutz dies. It's Carol today with a project share.   Here in my neck of the woods, we are getting ready for a Wedding on "Pi" day!   There was a shower recently to honor the Bride and this is the tag I made for the gift I brought.  I made this with the idea that the Bride could use it as an embellishment in her Wedding Scrapbook.
 Yes, I do know what you are thinking.  I have had an influence on the Brides hobby by choice!!!  lol  This wedding is filled with lots of homemade hand crafted touches.  We have been working and still working for about a year.  This tag was made with the beautiful  Elegant Veil & Top Hat die from CottageCutz.  The Best Wishes Expression die was used on the little banner.
Hope you have enjoyed a little "Wedding Inspiration".  Be sure to check out the "Wedding Collection" of beautiful dies over at The Scrapping Cottage.  There are lots of beautiful dies to select from for all your decorating needs.  Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:
