CottageCutz Birthday Party Bear


Hello everyone, Cheryl here to share with you today a Birthday Surprise card I made for the Scrapping Cottage using the Darling "Birthday CottageCutz" Dies. LOVE this release, as all the dies are absolutely darling and perfect for cards,mini albums, and scrapbook pages.

On my card here, I used the Darling CottageCutz Birthday Party Bear , and colored him and everything else with copics. I did add some liquid glitter glue to the cupcake, present, and balloon. I also used the CottageCutz Birthday Candle Border, and glittered it up too. Its behind the bear and his gift,cupcake,and flower pot.

Next I used some Birthday Design Paper, and then layered the border across the center of my card with the CottageCutz Birthday Border. The CottageCutz Surprise was cut in white, and then colored with copics to match the dp. 

Here are the CottageCutz Dies I used:

CottageCutz Sweet Petites Owl

Hello CottageCutz Friends, and Happy Sunday to all!
Today I'm sharing a 5 x 5 card I made using the CottageCutz Petites Release. 

My card Measures 5" x 5"
I used the CottageCutz sweet Petite Owl, and the Butterfly with flowers. I cut the own out in white, and then in green, so I could dust him, and then use the green branch from the 2nd owl that I cut in green. Then I cut out the Butterfly with flowers in green & Orange. I wanted my butterfly to be orange, I dusted that too, and then added some glitter glue in red,orange,brown and a light orange.

I used some design Paper I had picked up for super cheap, and then used seam binding from RRR for my bow!


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

Birdhouse in Winter

Hi! Vladka here!
I'm not calling Winter yet, but I just can't resist to create winter cards. This scene was created with following dies: Birdhouse (Petites)Spring Tweetie and Expressions Season's Greetings
Everything was colored with Distress Inks. Birdhouse and branch were cut out twice - once from kraft cardstock and second time from white cardstock. The white once were used for snow imitation. I just trimmed and glued part of them on colored die cuts. 
I wish you all great weekend!

October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hi all! Vladka here! 

Today I want to share with you two special cards, which are dedicated to special month - October. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and his symbol is pink ribbon. Both my cards will go to Europa Donna (in Slovenia), which is The European Breast Cancer Coalition. I´m really happy that I can participate in this.

So, I created two cards with pink bows, cut out with bow die from Homemade Christmas Gift Set and I put the Butterfly on one and Dragonfly on another.

Unfortunately sometimes we need to battle the battles which we didn´t choose and in such life situations love and prayers are most important. This is the way we all can help. So, I´m leaving you for today with this quote:

Where there is great Love,
there are always Miracles!

Added oval image on embossing background and decorated with red and white rhinestones.

CottageCutz Birthday Wishes Doily

Greetings everyone.  Today is a quick card using the fabulous CottageCutz dies from the 2014 Birthday release.  When I say a quick card, I mean a quick card.  This worked up fast and fabulous.  I highly recommend this die for your collection.
When you need a quick last minute card for a gift-you can whip this up in a matter of minutes.  It's easy with the Birthday Wishes Doily die.  And it just looks fabulous, doesn't it! If you want to add a little sparkle to glitz up the die-it would also be fabulous.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate it.  See you soon.  This is the die I used:

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
