Lamp Post

Hi! Vladka here! 

I took another little die from Petites release: Lamp Post and created another Christmas card.

Because die cut is small, I colored with blue water color just part of card stock. Then I spurted a little white color to create a falling snow and glued this cute lamp with some greenery on it.Finished touch was created with Merry Christmas expression which is also the part of Homemade Christmas Gift Set. Perfect card for massive production. 

I wish you all great day.

Haunted House Treat Bag

Hello Everyone, and Happy Monday to all!
Today I have a Halloween Treat Bag I made using CottageCutz Halloween Dies.These are some of the dies from past Halloween Releases, I just had to use them, since Halloween is so close, and I LOVE these CottageCutz dies.
CottageCutz does have a New Halloween Release out, and you can view all the new CottageCutz dies here

I started with my Treat bag, then cut some spellbinders frames for the background, using American Crafts dp. Next I layered the black and orange ribbon and ran in from the left corner to the bottom right corner, alternating the colors. Then I used foam squares to pop the frames off the bag, and then added my CottageCutz Haunted House and Spooky Sign. I added some white paper behind the windows and then used copics in different colors to shade those. Once that was done, I added the Leaf Trim in Black and Orange, and then used Really Reasonable Ribbons Sweetheart Blossoms in Orange and White. I did dust them both, using orange on the orange flowers, and black on the white. Next I went over them with some liquid glitter glue. Love the look of them in person. To put the lace and ribbon on the bag I used Scor-tape in 1/4" to hold my lace and ribbons.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed today's post!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Fancy Girls Clothes

Greetings friends and bloggers.  Today we have a cr2014 eation made with the fabulous CottageCutz dies from the 2014 Baby Release.  This is called the Fancy Baby Girls Clothes.
Aren't those little girls clothes darling!  I can't resist a banner-hence the creation of this clothes line to display
the sweet little outfits.  Each piece was cut with a different designer paper but all ordinate perfectly.
Tiny button accent the clothes and are complimented with the button embellishments.   The tiny little clothes pins hold the die cuts on bakers twine.  The Congratulations die cut is from the Expressions line release.  Doesn't gingham always glam up a baby card!
Thank you for stopping by today to view my project.  Sure do appreciate it.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.  See you soon.  Here are the dies I used:

Christmas window

Hi, Vladka here!
I am back from my vacation and because we are used to go in September, is this like a turning point for me. I say goodbye to summer and my thoughts are already at Christmas cards. I get this special feeling every year when I start to create such cards and these kind of cards are my favorite.  
I took cute little die from Petites releaseWindow and I also took Birthday Party Bear and Harvest Fall Corner dies to get a little candle and some greenery. This is how I get this quiet, warm scene which it is perfect for Christmas. Sentiment and some work with background and the finished look is here. For coloring I used Distress Inks and white tempera.
So, the opening is done and we go further with Christmas cards, but of course there will be some fall cards also, because there is so much color inspirations outside every year. 

I wish you all great Fall!

Garden Girl

Hello CottageCutz Friends!!! Hope you are having a super awesome weekend!!
Today I'm sharing a mini card made using the CottageCutz Petites. I LOVE all the Petites, as they are perfect for any size card, and for mini albums as well.

On my card today I used the Darling CottageCutz Window cut in white, and distress with Antique Linen. Next I colored the curtain with copic in a red shade. Next I cut out the CottageCutz Grass with Cattails using a dark green card stock. I did distress it a bit using a green distress ink. For the CottageCutz Rose, I used distressed inks on it, and dusted it on. My card was super simple to make, as there is just 2 layers, with some RRR Ric Rac running across the center. I then stamped some sentiments on the bottom of the card, and one inside the window. super easy!!


Hope you enjoyed today's post!! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

Bouquet in Vase

Hi! Vladka here again! 
Flowers are always great way to say thank you to someone. This is why I think that paper bouquet in vase and Thank you note goes together very well. I want to have focal point on the bouquet and so I put it on white background. 
To color all die cut pieces, I put some color on my craft sheet with Distress Inks and added a little water. Then I put die cut pieces into this mixture and waited them to dry. Later I glued everything together and card was finished. Here I used two dies:  Flower Bouquet Jar and Vase with Flowers

I hope you like it! Have a great time!
