Theme Your Cake Shoppe And Use it All Year Long!

Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I'll show you how I took the Cake Shoppe from the new Sweet Treat release and combined it with the Spooky Camper set to create two different cards. The Cake Shoppe is super versatile and can be themed so you can use it all year long.

For both cards, I die cut from solid color cardstock. It's a great way to use up all your scraps and saves you from having to color little pieces. For the smaller pieces, I used a glue pen to apply adhesive. This allows you to get glue precisely where you want it.  I like to die cut a lot of elements so I can mix and match and have a lot of choices when I go to create my card. I had so many leftover pieces, I made a second card!

This first card is a Halloween themed cake shoppe.

This card converts the cake shoppe to a haunted house.

On this second card, I used some of the Cake Shoppe elements differently.  The small windows and front porch step I used as bricks. The greenery in the pots I used as bushes. And I combined more of the Spooky Camper elements to complete my haunted house.  I had so much fun tucking all the spooky elements here and there. I especially love the cat that's hiding behind the pumpkin. :)

Happy Birthday Slimline Birthday Card

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends!  

Melinda here with you on this Terrific Tuesdie! Today I am sharing a project featuring dies from the SUPER SWEET New Sweet Treats Release! Talk about sweet! This set is over the top adorable!  Here is what I created.

I created this fun and festive Happy Birthday Slimline card. I started with a standard 3.5 x 8.5 size.

I cut all my pieces out in plain white cardstock. I love to color my pieces in.

I then mounted all of my ice cream cones onto the smallest scallop stitched rectangles.  I used some adorable festive green dot patterned paper for the card front base.  I added a fun patterned paper background to each scalloped mat. 

For the center cone, I used the next largest scallop stitched rectangle and the same cute stitched patterned paper. I absolutely love this die set. The possibilities truly are endless!

To finish off the card, I added the Happy Birthday Sentiment

I am trying to build up my Birthday card stash as it is severely lacking! These dies are perfect to achieve that task.

Here is the new sweet treats release.

Pedestal

Happy Monday everyone.  Today I am back sharing a card I made for all the cupcake fans or sweet tooths which definitely would be me!

I used the Pedestal stand to use as my focal point for a Clean and Simple look

I used some fun patterns that go along with the cupcakes and used a piece of pink csrdstock for the center of the card 

I put the cupcake stand in the center and added my cupcakes in alternsting color combos.

Gumball Treats for Father's Day

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

It's new release time!!! We have new dies in the online store. It's our Sweet Treats release with 13 new designs. They are so perfect for any card making occasion you may have. The individual dies are currently 30% off.

Today for your viewing pleasure I have created a Father's Day card using the new Candy & Gumballs die. So, let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Design Steps:

I had a card base and matching designer paper layer in my stash that I thought would be perfect for a masculine card. And it would work well to display the Gumball machine die. 

Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Designer Paper Layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Circle: 2 1/2"

I cut my gumball machine in a color to match the card base. The gumballs are in coordinating colors. 

Then for my sentiment, I computer generated this one. "Life is like bubblegum, Sweet at times, Sticky at others, and Best when shared". I used Andy font in 14 points and printed it out on the cardstock (pretty peacock- Stampin'- Up) that matched the designer paper. 

Now that my card elements are prepared, I started card assembly. The designer paper layer is attached to the card base with dimensional adhesive. 

The Gumball machine is attached to the circle layer with dimensional adhesive. I also used dimensional adhesive on the circle layer and laid it back in the die cut opening. 

To finish off my card front, I cut the sentiment into strips and attached to the designer paper layer. 

I also stamped my Father's Day sentiment on the card inside. I added a few of the leftover gumballs just for added interest. 

That's my card for this week. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use the new Candy & Gumballs die. See you next Saturday!
