CottageCutz Springtime Floral

Thank you so much for visiting today.  For today's project share the main focal point on this card is the beautiful Springtime Floral Die from CottageCutz.  Isn't it so pretty.  It's a good size and is perfect for any occasion.

You could say this is a Clean and Simple Card for me-as this is about as CAS as I can get....lol    This card was so much fun to make.  To begin, I cut out 3 of the Springtime Floral dies.  For the base, I used Mowed Lawn distress ink on the stems and leaves.  On the second die I used Picked Raspberry distress ink to color the pretty flowers.  I then cut them off the stem and popped them up on the base die.  For the third cut Springtime Floral, I distressed with Mustard Seed Distress ink, cut them off the stem, and glued them in the appropriate areas on the base.

Really quick and easy with such elegant results, don't you think!  It looks fresh and feminine all at once.  Thanks again for taking a look.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!  Here is the die I used:

CottageCutz Garden Gazebo Wedding Card

 Welcome to another edition of the beautiful CottageCutz Collection Creations. Today I am here with an Easel Card using the Garden Gazebo, Bella Spring Wreath, Fancy Floral Corner #2, Garden Butterflies, and the Best Wishes Expression Dies.

Burlap is just the rage right now for weddings so I just had to go with using it on this Wedding themed card.  I have both burlap and Kraft cardstock for contrast.

At the base The Gazebo has been painted with glitter glue and glittered with fine white glitter.  I used a few little rhinestones to sparkle it up and used the Bella Spring Wreath to frame it.

At the base the Garden Butterfly was glittered as well and mounted on a circle base to highlight the design. 

 

The Fancy Floral #2 Corner is used for lace effect.  Lots of texture and layers are displayed on this card.

Thank you so much for dropping by todday to view this CottageCutz Wedding card.  It was a pleasure to welcome you and show you how to use those gorgeous CottageCutz dies.  Until next time enjoy you day and Happy Crafting!  Here are the dies used in this project:

CottageCutz Wedding Day Pillow Box

 Happy Crafting everyone.  Today is a project to share with a wedding theme.  I just adore making favors and little boxes for gift giving.  There's going to be a wedding in my family the beginning of next year, so I am in the throws of lots of crafting.  The latest and popular trend is "Rustic" Weddings with burlap and canning jars as part of the decorations.  It can be very elegant.

 As you can see here the white contrast very beautifully with the burlap fabric.  The pillow bow was created with the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Board.  It's 6 x 6-quick and easy to make especially if you need to make lots of them!

 The butterfly has been glittered and so has the flower-love me some sparkle on this.  Also there is some silver bling strands on either side of the burlap.  It helps it to stay put and not fray.  Burlap frays pretty easy so you have to think of creative ways to create with it to keep it in tact on your projects.  Thank you so much for visiting and taking a look.  It's been a pleasure to share an idea for wedding favors with you.  Hope it gives you inspiration to create something wonderful for you and your family.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies I used:

CottageCutz Sweet Spring Kitty Card

Can you believe Mother's Day is just around the corner.    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.

CottageCutz Coffee Thank You

Thank you-just two very small words that can make someone's day.  A show of appreciation for a kindness bestowed upon us.  That is what this sweet card is all about.  It was created to thank someone who helped me collect on some past due invoices at work.   She hasn't received it yet as she is on vacation-but I think she will love it don't you.  As I told you in my last post, I am so into burlap and neutral colors right now.  I thought it would be perfect for my "Coffee" theme.

All these cute little dies from CottageCutz helped me to make this super sweet card.  I used Mr. Snuggles, Hot Drink Cup, Cup of Latte, Thank You, and Bella Leafy Branch.  On the inside of the card I had decorated with coffee sleeve from Starbucks.  Inside the coffee sleeve I inserted a gift card.  It makes for a super cute thank you.  One I know she is going to love.

When giving a gift card try to "think outside the box".  Use something from the store you purchased it at to add to your creations.  It makes them so fun to give and a whole bunch of fun to make.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Wishing you a Happy Easter and Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies I used:



Shabby Chic "Faith" Themed Mini Album

Welcome to my blog.  Thanks for joining me today to view my latest project.  This album is titled "Faith" and was created with paper from the Paper Studio "Antiquity" that can be found at Hobby Lobby.  Vintage Photo distress ink was used throughout along with Prima or Tim Holtz stamps embossed with copper embossing powder.  It says copper on it, but it looks black-so go figure right....lol

On the inside cover is a place for a picture.  I used the die cut bird from the birdcage again for this page.  Those are Martha Stewart Butterflies and the Tattered Floral die for the burlap flower pieces behind the $1 bin flower.

This is a mini inside a mini.....yes that's right.  It's an acrylic pocket holding a mini album created from an 8-1/2" x 11" inch piece of cardstock.  I would love to leave the link to that tutorial-but I can't find it again.  If anyone knows who had the tutorial, please let me know so I can give proper credit.   Those rolled burlap flowers were so fun to make and are absolutely darling.

The Tim Holtz clock was cut three times with light chip board and once on burlap.  The center pulls out to place a picture inside.  Just like a locket. 

On this page we have a burlap pocket with tags.  Did I mention how I love working with burlap!  There's a couple tags with my crochet flowers as embellishment.

This is what the tags look like.  The stamp is My Minds Eye.

The expandable pocket is a favorite album page of mine.  I think I have done it in almost every album I ever created.  It's fun to do and super cute.

Here is what the tags look like (there are 4 of them) inside the pocket.

The last page in the album features this pretty birdhouse.  It holds a tag and envelope behind it.

This is the envelope and tag
I have attached a video I made showing the interaction of the various parts of the album for you to see.

Here is what the little mini looks like that is inside the pocket.  Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate it.
See you soon!
