Paper Embellishments with Layered Die cuts

Hello dear friends,

How is everyone doing!!!!! I hope you will have a super crafty Sunday today.
Have you ever wondered what a range of paper embellishments can be created with die cuts.

We are always short of tags, mini cards or even decorative embellishments and try to make quick simple ones . So here I have five creative paper embellishments that can be used as tags, cards and even for scrapbook layouts.
CottageCutz has a wide range of dies and you can play with them to create these super cute things. And the best part is you use all your paper scraps that you have been hoarding all this while. So have a look at these. Get inspired and start playing with your dies.

Aren't they super cute!!! And I had fantastic time playing with my die cuts.

I gathered all my paper  scraps and grouped them in shades of various colours. Then I picked one floral die and cut many flowers from one shade.

Similarly , If I chose a stitched die, I cut many die cuts of different colours from paper scrap. 

Cut several designs in many shades and layer them with foam tape. You can create hundreds of designs. 

Here are the dies I used for my embellishments.

You can check all the amazing collection of dies at the CottageCutz Store.

Do share your views on these pretty paper creations. Thanks for stopping by. 

In a gilded frame

Hi, Janja here!

CottageCutz frame dies are so useful that they belong in my go-to collection. The card for today's post is also spiced up with a frame covered with a thin layer of golden flakes. On the frame I put a leafy foliage with flowers.

For the card we need:

• brown card base: 4.53 x 5.70" (11,5 x 14,5 cm), folded
• corrugated cardboard: 4.3 x 5.5" (10,8 x 14 cm)
• brown cardstock: 3.9 x 4.9" (10 x 12,5 cm)
• white cardstock
• Distress inks: Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet, Aged Mahogany and Moved Lawn
• Memento inks: Cantaloupe, Pear Tart
• golden flakes

From white cardstock cut flowers and leaves with 3D flower #1 and leafy foliage dies. Cutouts of flowers and leaves are then shaded and shaped. For flowers use only the smallest die cuts.

With the largest die from the stitched wide rectangle frame set, cut out the frame and brush it with a copper metal paste.

When the frame is dry, apply the adhesive with a sponge on few places. Sprinkle it with golden flakes. With fingers press them gently for perfect bonding. We remove the surplus flakes with a sponge.

The frame is very shin, although I have not been able to catch its glow on photos. 

Put it on the brown cardstock, mark the inner part of the frame and cut it out. Corrugated cardboard is part of an old package. 

Assemble the card.

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

Dies, which I used at work:

Have a nice day.
