Christening cards

Hi!

It's Anja here. The new Cottage Cutz baby collection has these two beautiful dies with which you can make gorgeous christening gowns. Today I made two cards, one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy. They are very simple to make and can be used as a christening invitations or congratulation cards.


I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Boy Christening Outfit, Girl Christening Gown, Fancy Mary Jane Shoes, Spring Greenery, Stitched Rounded Square Set),
- Distress Inks (Stormy Sky, Worn Lipstick),
- white card base (15 x 10,5 cm),
- white, pink, blue and green card stock,
- white liquid pearls,
- embossing folder,
- paper glue and foam glue pads.

First I cut all the pieces for the outfits. I used white, blue and pink paper. I put distress ink around the edges of every small piece.


I used the same procedure for the flowers. I used a special tool to make a 3D effect.


Then I cut some greenery from the green card stock.


I made each background from two pieces of paper. First I cut pink and blue (14,5 x 10 cm) and then white (14 x 9,5 cm). I embossed the white one with an embossing folder. I could use any other design. Then I cut the third largest square from the Stitched Rounded Square Set to put my gowns on. 



Then I just had to put all the pieces together. This is how I glued the greenery.


And in the end I glued the little flowers and decorated it with liquid pearls.





And this is it from me today.

Have a nice Wednesday.
Anja Ž.

Invitation

Hi everyone, Janja here!

Warmer weather is an opportunity for meetings with family and friends in nature, garden or home terrace. Whether it's birthday party, relocation party or just anything like that.
Therefore I share today with you the invitation.


As a central element of the first page, I chose a window. I really like the Victorian window die, since the cutouts can be treated with various techniques. Invitation with it becomes mysterious, and mystery will be disclosed in its interior.

For the invitation we need:
  • white card base: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2", folded
  • colored cardstock: 4 x 5.2"
  • white cardstock: 3.7 x 5 "
  • stamp
  • embossing folder
  • Distress inks: Iced Spruce, Weathered Wood, Antique Linen, Moved Lawn and Worn Lipstick
  • Distress crackle clear paint
  • paper crimper
On white cardstock with an embossing folder, create the look of a stone wall. On the convex part of an embossing folder we apply ink (Distress ink - Iced Spruce) with a brayer and place over it a white cardstock. Individual stones are shaded additionally.


My window is cut from the natural paper, which gives the impression of a limestone. Unfortunately, during the cutting, paper is slightly flattened.
For the other elements of the window, use a white cardstock and shade them plentiful with Distress ink - Weathered Wood. Cover them with Distress transparent crackle paint. Apply a thicker layer.


On the inner side of the window fix a pleated roll. This is done with a paper crimper. 


For greenery use the die leafy vines. Small leaves are wonderful for creating a climbing plant. I took tiny flower from the fancy Mary Jane shoes die. In the middle of each flower add a dot of liquid pearls - buttercup.


Arrange greenery and tiny flowers around the window.


In the upper right corner, add an inscription. Use the die rustic sign & trees.


As you already noticed on the second picture, we prepared two stone walls.


From the second one cut out a frame with a stitched wide rectangle frame die (the largest die of the set).


Add text, and our invitation is ready to send.


Don't forget on our May challenge - Hello spring. You have time to share your projects with us till the end of the month.

Dies, which I used at work:






Have a nice day.

Fancy Mary Jane Shoes

Hi, Vladka here!
Shoes! Important topic for almost every woman. Beautiful dress is nothing without beautiful shoes. For me, shoes are important, but
I´m not obsessed with them and I don´t need new pair every month. But I like special and comfortable shoes and my favorite are all kind of ballerina shoes. And when I put on my special pair, I can conquer the world. And what about you?
I used  Fancy Mary Jane Shoes CottageCutz die and cut them out of white card stock and stamped them with polkadot stamp. I would called this: CAS card with meaning! I really like this quote.
So girls, put on your favorite pair of shoes and enjoy your life!
