Bluebell Shadows

Hi, Lois here again with another card using one of the new Expressions Plus dies.   In case you haven't seen them, be sure to check all 35 of the words in the CottageCutz store.   And by the way, there is a Memorial Day sale going on until Wednesday.  You can save up to 40%.   My card today uses one of the new Expressions Plus dies - thanks, as well as a couple of other dies.


To start my card, I cut a panel of heavyweight white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored it at 4 1/4".  Then I cut a piece of navy cardstock 4" x 5 1/4" and a piece of patterned paper 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".


I learned  a little trick on Facebook several weeks ago.  If you are cutting a sentiment die-cut, just run a strip of your cardstock through your Xyron sticker maker . . .


. . . and then cut your sentiment.  It will now have glue on the back of it and be much easier to adhere to your card.


I then cut all the rest of my die-cuts for the card.  I planned to make a shadow for my CottageCutz Springtime Bluebell Flowers, so I cut two of them -- one in pale blue and one in navy.


I took  the inner oval from the CottageCutz Oval Doily and Frame die and sponged on some pale blue ink.  This gave a little more dimension to the center section.



Then I was ready to construct my card.  I glued down the doily pieces and adhered the sentiment at the top.  I then glued down the navy bluebells and offset the pale blue ones on top, creating a "shadow" effect.

Watercolour on Diecuts-floral card


Hello dear friends

Happy Friday to all !!!
Spring is in full bloom and flowers are spreading their beauty all over. It's Anita once again, sharing with you the beauty of spring flowers.

Many times we are all short of time and also some people are not fond of making 3D flowers . They want quick beautiful cards .
So here is a cool technique where colouring die cuts with water colour can really make them look beautiful and layering them together gives a lovely floral card like this.


To make this card,
Cut all the die cuts with white card stock and emboss a card panel 6" x 4"



Using distress inks , colour all the die cuts. Use the negative of the wild flower to create subtle stamping on the oval label. Distress ink names are mentioned below.


Layer the ovals like this and adhere on the embossed panel as shown.

Adhere all the die cuts layering them together like this.
Add a sentiment.

Adhere the card panel on card base measuring 7" x 5".

CottageCutz products used.

Springtime Bluebell Flowers


Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Kathy with you and today I have a card using CottageCutz's Springtime Bluebell Flowers and Butterfly Mini Dies.



These flowers are so pretty and delicate! I cut them out with Solar White Cardstock by Neenah and colored them with VersaMagic Chalk Inks and makeup applicators. Very easy to do and looks pretty against the white embossed background using the Scrollwork EF by Cuttlebug. The butterfly was done the same way and shaped a little. I love this little die!

Here's a closeup of the flowers and butterfly.




These are the dies I used:
