CottageCutz Baby Block Card

 Welcome to another CottageCutz creation today.  CottageCutz has an  awesome baby die release that has some of the cuties dies you have ever seen.  Today this card is showcasing the Blocks and Fancy Baby Corner from that collection.  The Bella Leafy Branch and the Fancy Lace Border rounds out the CottageCutz dies used on this sweet card.

Isn't this Fancy Baby Corner super cute.  Just had to share a close up of the sweet little "Bear", pins and little duckies on there.  It's adorable.  Love the blocks too-they are so versatile.  As always, these dies cut through paper as smooth as butter.   Not only that, but they are so fun to work with!

Thank you so much for dropping by today to view this fun baby card.  Be sure to check out the Baby release.  There are so many cute images to chose from.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.
NOTE:  SANDRA C-since I couldn't find a way to contact you, I will tell you this paper is call The Blossom Song and is an old DCWV stack I found at Michael's and have had for a while.  Thanks for asking.

Gravestone Wedding Favor

So you want to have a Halloween Wedding.  Look me up.....I have tons of ideas!!!  lol  I love Halloween.  So this again is another creation for my friend getting married on Halloween.  Its a little gravestone favor to hold a sweet treat.

It's made with sizzix dies.  On the back side of the gravestone I put the Bride and Grooms name and their Wedding date.  This was just so much fun to make.

Here's a side view to show you what it looks like.  It would be really cute with some candy tied in black netting and placed in the middle.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope today has given you some inspiration for your Halloween decorations and parties.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.

Coffin Wedding Favor

 Do you remember this little number back in June?  Well, this is another little something I included in the package to a friend of mine that is getting married on Halloween.  This was just an extreme BLAST to put together.  I just love a good challenge.

 Let's make no "Bones" about it.  I am a Dollar store addict.  These little skeletons are something I picked up at the dollar store maybe a year or two ago.  I gave the Bride a Veil and the Groom a Bow Tie.  The white lace looking trim around the coffin are various Martha Stewart Halloween punches.

 There is a fence behind the couple that helps them sit up properly.  The roses were made with watercolor paper dipped in distress ink and tipped with black.  The box is something I got at Michael's a couple years ago.  I want to get one that plays spooky music when you open it!!!  lol

I included the Wedding Couples name and date of marriage on the inside  I just love this.  I want to make one just for my own Halloween decorations.  So a super cool fun project.  Hope you like it.  See you soon.

CottageCutz Post-It Note Holder

 Greetings and welcome to another CottageCutz creation.  So happy you stopped by.  It's been a while and I owe you all a visit.  My husband has been going through medical procedures that had kept us hopping.  It's tough getting old, Ill tell ya!!!!  lol 

My project today is a Post-It note holder made with the very versatile Fancy Envelope die.  Isn't it cute and it's really super easy to create.  The other dies used are the Garden Flourish, Butterfly Mini, and the "new" Baby Alligator.   To make this just cut two envelopes.  On one turn down the scalloped envelope flap, cut the bottom of each envelope 1/4 " from the scored bottom edge.  Fold the edges of each piece to form the pocket and glue.  Decorate as desired.  Hope you have enjoyed this little gift idea.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.  See you soon!  These are the dies I used:

CottageCutz Wedding Luminary

Hello everyone and Welcome to CottageCutz Blog Hop for June. We will have lots to share with you today using the Beautiful CottageCutz Wedding dies, so be sure to grab your favorite drink ,and enjoy the hop.  You should have arrived her from Olena's blog.  If you get lost along the way be sure to go to the CottageCutz blog for the entire line up.

For my project today I have created a Wedding Luminary/Lantern with the beautiful CottageCutz Wedding dies.  The Tim Holtz Luminary Die was the inspiration for this piece.  Starting at the top the Wedding Day Expressions die is featured.

On the front we have the Wedding Rings, Garden Delight Butterflies, and Swans.  All leaves on this creation were cut with the Bella Leafy Branch.

The Tim Holtz Luminary sits atop a Laughing Cow Cheese box that has been decorated with the Wedding Border Die.  The Tea Time Doily has been used on top of the box.

The Bride & Broom grace the base of the luminary.  The Wedding Border has been used again to coordinate as trim for the perimeter of the wood block.  More butterflies, flowers, and Bella Leafy Branches  accent this creation.

Here are a couple more shots of the bottom decoration and the back of the Luminary.  This would be a beautiful centerpiece for a head table or as a cake topper if the cake is going to be several layers high.

CottageCutz Bridal Shower Paper Fan

 Today I would like to share a project with you using the beautiful Wedding release from CottageCutz dies at The Scrapping Cottage.  Don't you just love all the sweet little "Epression Dies" that JoAnne has created.  They add another dimension to your die crafting needs.

Do you recognize the "Paper Fan".  It is from the dollar bin at Michaels.  There were two to a package.  You could get 2 small, or 2 large paper fans.  They were also available in two sizes in the color pink as well.  I purchased a bunch of them in both colors.  This is the first opportunity that I have had to play with them.  What fun-and talk about fast and quick.  I used the CottageCutz dies  Wedding Cake, Tea Time Doily, Garden Flourish, and the Bridal and Shower Expression dies. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today to view my creation.  Just a reminder, be sure to join us tomorrow for our CottageCutz Blog Hop.  You won't want to miss what the design team has cooked up for you.  So be sure to stop by tomorrow for all the gorgeous creations.  Until then, Happy Crafting!  Here are the dies used:

 

Cottage Cutz Wedding Layout

 Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of CottageCutz die projects.  CottageCutz has a beautiful Wedding release.  It's been a long long time since I have done a 12 x 12 layout.  I worked on this one for days-4 days as a matter of fact.  I found this picture of my beautiful Mother and I and knew I wanted to scrap it. 

 Here's a close up of the pretty Bride die.  She was perfect to accent my picture. 

I used the Wedding Bouquet for the corner and colored it with Copic Markers to match the Spring Label that says Bride under the picture.  The Wedding Border die was used under the picture.

Yes, those are handmade tiny roses and yes they weren't easy to create-but they do look perfect and very sweet on this banner.  The corner of the picture has the Fancy Floral Butterfly Corner die.  You can see the Fancy Floral Background die on top of the pink accent piece.

Here you can see the Elegant Shoe, Garden Delight Butterflies, and the Fancy Lace Border on the edge of the picture.

 

This corner has a pretty pearl flourish.  Under the handmade rose is the Garden Flourish die.

The Fancy Floral Corner #1 was used on the right hand corner of the picture.  I used just the word "Bride" from the Bride & Groom Expressions die.  For the leaves I used the Bella Leafy Branch.  The paper is Melissa Frances.  You could say I consider this a labor of love because of all the detail.   Thanks so much for stopping by today to view my creation.  I truly appreciate it.  Happy Crafting!
