CottageCutz Valentine Mini Album


Greetings CottageCutz friends!  Today it is Carol here with a Valentime Mini Album created with the adorable CottageCutz Dies.  My cover features Mr. Love Bug and the Flourish Love Heart that he is mounted on.  If you look at my heart shaped mini, it is abstract.  That is because I purchased a heart box from the dollar store and used it as my template.  I am making the box to match this mini to hold some Chocolate treats.  I'll show you that at a later date.
The first page is decorated with the Elegant Envelope.  They're are a couple cute tags inside.  The second page has the Fancy Floral Corner #2 to hold the sweet little tags.
 
Page three is a mat to hold a photo.  Page four uses Confectionery Bag, Small to hold a tag and behind that is the Sweet Floral Heart and hot pink glitter.
 Page five has the darling Sweet Heart Die that will hold a photo.  Page 6 is also designed to hold another photo.
Page 7 uses the Flourish Love Heart which is mounted on a heart that opens to reveal a place for a photo and a pocket with more tags.   Page 8 is a pocket that holds 2 tags made from the Sweet Floral Heart
 Page 9 features a pocket of tags decorated with the Sweet Heart Die.  Page 10 is another pocket that has been decorated with the Filigree Cupid die.
Page 11 is a pocket the holds the Classic Petite Envelope.  It is decorated with the Sweet Heart die and Sweet Lovebirds.  For the last page the Lovebirds are gracing the Elegant Love Heart.
So grab some CottageCutz dies and make your sweetie a cute little mini for Valentine's Day.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies I used:

Polkadot Tea Cups

Hi, Vladka here!
Polkadot is always funny, specially in red-white combination don´t you think? I use it again and again. This time I cut out tea cups from the white cardstock, for which I used Teacup Trio die and stamped on it with my polkadot stamp.
White borders, also cut out with the same die, give them such a cute look. For the finish look, I added sentiment and this teabag stamp and card was finished. Clean and simple, perfect when you don´t have a lot of time to create the card. And this is not all, I will be back also tomorrow with another polkadot.
See you soon!

Spring Floral Basket


Hello everyone from Simona!

Here I am with a new post for The Scrapping Cottage Blog.
Today's card was made with gorgeous new die 
Spring Floral Basket from the NEW Garden Delight Release.


I fell in love with the Spring Floral Basket  die the moment
I saw it. Here is how I used the die on my card.
I cut the die out 2x out of the Bearly Mine Digi paper
(1x pink, 1x green). I snipped the basket from the whole die
and glued it on top of the whole pink die. I also cut out the 
green butterfly.


I cut the corner die 2x out of different shades of pink paper.
I cut out the butterflies and glued them on top of the whole corner 
die. I used liquid pearls on the butterflies.


I distress the edges and added a satin ribbon and a bow with
a brad. I wanted to try something different so I took a pink
copic marker and colored in the tulips. I did the same with
the leaves, but used the green marker. To get that special effect
I used Glossy Accent on the tulips and let it dry.

I am very happy with the final result and I hope you
found some inspiration in today's project.

See you all next time!

Hugs,
Simona

Garden Delight Bird Gift Card Holder


Hello everyone, Cheryl here today to share a Gift Card Holder made using the Beautiful New CottageCutz Garden Delight Bird from the CottageCutz "Garden Delight Collection"

I started off with a premade card that I purchased for super cheap, and it was already shaped at the top, and had the pretty blue tones. I used scor tape to close the top of this card, and then cut my CottageCutz Tea Time Doily out with white card stock. Next I cut blue and white circles for the area where my sentiment is stamped. I did do a little distressing in blue around the sentiment. Next I cut 2 of the CottageCutz Sweetheart Borders, one for the front of my gift card holder, and the other for the tag for the inside.

The beautiful CottageCutz Garden Delight Bird was cut with white card stock, then colored in green,blue, and pink Copic markers.

Below are the CottageCutz Dies used

 Lastly I decorated the front with big bows using Really Reasonable Ribbon in Blue Satin. The roses are a resin, or plastic, but were brads, and I hot glued them onto the bows and the gift card.

Thank you for looking and have a super awesome day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Lacy Heart Doily die (4x4). 



 First, I cut Heart Doily 4 times. Then, I stamped 4 times sentiment on pink card stock and punch it out.  Sponged the edges with yellow craft ink and glued in the middle of Heart Doily. 




After this, I folded hearts on half and glued the edges together make a 3D ornament shape. I also, put the white string in the middle of ornament.

Sweetheart Lovebirds

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I have a darling Valentine's Day card for you using the Sweetheart Lovebirds CottageCutz Die from The Scrapping Cottage!




Aren't these little guys adorable?  I think they are the cutest thing!

To make my card, I cut all the die pieces with white card stock and colored them with chalk inks and make up applicators.  The colors I used are Perfect Plumeria, Thatched Straw, Aloe Vera (VersaMagic), and Mocha Mama (Powder Puffs).  I also shaped some of the pieces a little with my McGill Tool Kit & Mat.  Here's a close up for you.




I used a white card base and added a white mat embossed with the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder (SU).  The sentiment (Teeny Tiny Wishes - SU) is stamped with black ink.  I made the bow with Cotton Candy Baker's Twine (Really Reasonable Ribbon) and my Bow-Easy.  I glued one of the little flowers from the die on the bow center.  Then I added some adhesive pearls to finish!

Here is the die I used:
