Happy Father's Day


Hello everyone!

It's Donna here with another card made with the CottageCutz dies!  I just could not help myself to use the anchor again for a Father's Day card.  Have you gotten your Father's Day card made? 

I also wanted you to know the new release for May is out and it is 25% off off in the store.  You may want to go check it out!


Here is how I put my card together....
  • A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)
  • Black layer is 4 x 5 1/4
  • Blue layer is cut from the Cross-Stitched Rectangled set (I used the largest one),
  • The circle is cut from the Cross-Stitched Circle set (2nd largest one),
  • The anchor is cut with blue cardstock, I cut a piece of black foam and put the blue cardstock on top with adhesive,
  • I added a piece of twine,
  • Cut the "Father's Day" out of red cardstock,
  • The "home" is white embossed.


Very simple and easy card.  I hope I have inspired you to give it a try!


Closer look at the anchor, it is popped up with black foam.



Also, if you have not had a chance to play along with the newest challenge you still have time. The theme is Spring and you have until May 31st to enter. Get all the details here.

Happy Mother's Day

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here sharing another beautiful card using the CottageCutz dies!  How many of you have made your mother a card and mailed it? Not me, but we still have about two weeks to get it out. Now onto my card.
  • Card base  is an A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)
  • Top layer is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • Center pieces are 4 1/4 x 1 1/2 
I die cut the two butterflies and pieced them together. I cut out two circles from the cross-stitched circle dies.  I used the 5th and 6th circles.  The larger circle is with the blue butterfly and the smaller is with the pink butterfly. I adhered them to my card with a glue dot and added my butterflies. I die cut the Happy and Mother's Day out with black cardstock, added some clear wink of stella then used liquid glue to adhered them to my card. I finished my card off by adding some sequins.

LACEY BACKGROUND WITH COTTAGECUTZ DIES.

Hello friends,

This is Anita here with another new card for you.
Summer is at its peak here and the days are extremely bright and sunny ( read --HOT ). In this heat, I am searching for cool things everywhere..cool drinks, cold salads and cool colours. So for this project, I decided to go for cool summer shade.

Here is a card, in which, I have created a lacey look using CottageCutz dies. The CottageCutz Petite dies are so beautiful and intricate that one can create many designs using them. So I have created this filigree lacey look for my card. Here is a step by step tutorial on how I made this card.





             Using the CottageCutz Flowering Vine die , I cut out 5-6 pieces in white card stock



               I cut out a die cut using the CottageCutz Fancy Lace Border die



Using Peeled Paint Distress Ink, distress the top half of a card stock measuring 4.75 inches by 6.75 inches.


                         Score the bottom half on the scoreboard at an interval of 1/8 of an inch.


                               
        Adhere the floral die cuts on the coloured part as shown


Add the CottageCutz Fancy Lace Border die cut along with the negative of that die cut. 


Add two oval die cuts from the CottageCutz Cross-Stitched Oval set and adhere the expression from the CottageCutz Expressions Thinking Of You and secure it with twine on either side.


The Final card
