Easter Wreath

Hi, Janja is here with you.
You have probably started looking for ideas and decorations for the Easter.
While I'm waiting for the spring dies I prepared an Easter card with some older dies.


- CottageCutz dies: Egg Painting Bunny, Spring Watering Can, Be My Valentine Puppies (banner), Build-A-Grapevine Wreath
- white scalloped card base: 5.3" x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4.7" x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
- patterned paper: 3.7" x 3.7" (9,5 x 9,5 cm)
- colored card stock
- colored ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

From colored card stock cut out bunny, eggs, wreath and flowers with greenery. Emphasize edges with colored pads.



Cut out a banner and stamp a sentiment.


Prepare a card base. Trim brown card stock and two patterned papers.


Gradually attach all the elements to the wreath with glue.



Completed card.


Have a nice day.
Janja

Vintage card with Wreath, Butterfly and Bow

Hi! Vladka here. Today I have vintage card with wreath for you. You know how I like to combine old and new dies and I will show you how you can create this one.  Let's start!


Basics:
Card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of kraft cardstock: 3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches
Some white and red cardstock scraps to cut out the die cuts 

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz dies: listed below
Cardstock: kraft cardstock
Distress Ink: Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs, Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint

Other:  text stamp (optionally), scissors, paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, scor-buddy, brush, white watercolor tube paint or you can use acrylic paint instead, piece of sponge, pencil or any other tool with round handle.


Let's prepare everything first:

1. With the Floral Spray die and Laurel Wreath cut greenery out with some white (I actually used light gray one) cardstock. Color greenery with green ink.
2. With the Expressions Thank youLisbeth Butterfly and Build a Bow die cut out the Butterfly, Thank you expression and pieces to create the bigger Bow. Distress all the edges with Aged Mahogany distress ink.
3. With Build a Grapevine wreath die cut out two wreaths and color them with brown ink.
4. Stamp text on additional piece of kraft cardstock - this step is optional.
5. Use a sponge to gently color the edges of all die cut pieces and edges of additional piece of kraft cardstock with white watercolor paint straight from the bottle. You can also use white acrylic paint. Let them to dry.
6. Before glue bow together, curve bow edges with pencil or any other tool with round handle as shown on the photo.


7. After bow is finished, put pencil also through the both loops which will give them beautiful round look (as shown on the photo).


Preparations are now finished. Let's make the card!

Apply adhesive on the back side of additional piece of cardstock and add it on the card base. On the front of the card, glue both wreaths, all the greenery, butterfly, bow and the sentiment as shown on the photo. Card is finished.


Have fun creating!

Chalkboard style

 Hi, all! Vladka is here! 

This time I have two cards with chalkboard style  for you. I love this style and I´ve used it before, but I wanted to try it also with CottageCutz dies. I combined different dies from different releases: Christmas, Harvest and from the last Winter release which is so playful. Here are both cards:
First one is combination of Wreath, Mittens, Winterland Holly and Bow dies. First two are cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder. Winterland Holly and Bow are coloured with Distress Inks.
Second one is combined from Snowflake, Ice Skates and Poinsettia dies. Also here are Snowflake and Ice Skates cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder and Poinsettia is coloured with different Distress Inks.
Holidays approaching very fast and I have so much to do till then. I have to hurry up. 
But I still have time to wish you great day and don´t forget to have fun!

Autumn wreaths

Hi, Vladka here! 

I adore wreaths. They can be symbol of victory, hope, eternity and a lot more. But mostly we use wreaths for decoration, especially in autumn and winter time. Did you made some already?  I did, from paper and not just one, I made two :) 

One is already on card and second is waiting. Maybe I will add twine and hang it somewhere in my flat or I will use it on another card.
The one on a card is embellished a little bit more. Here I used Build-A-Grapvine Wreath die and also added some more leaves cut from: Leaf Mini, Maple Leaf Mini, Oak Leaf Mini and some greenery cut with Harvest Fall Corner die.  

Great week to everyone!
