In the color of lavender

Hi, Janja here!

Stunning scent of Mediterranean bush is expanding far and wide. Tiny flowers with its violet blue color catches the eye. Lavender is fully blooming.
I tried to catch some of its color and romance on a birthday card.
Let's see how it is made.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- patterned paper: two sheets in size of - 5.24 x 5.24" (13,3 x 13,3 cm) and four sheets in size of - 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white and violet cardstock
- ribbon

We prepare two cutouts from a white cardstock with the die oval doily & frame. Also cut out two oval holes in a patterned paper with the die in which we will later insert white ovals.


From a white cardstock cut out birds with the die bird trio and 4 lace borders with the die fancy floral lace border.
For more contrast cut birds also from violet cardstock and the basic of two flowers. The upper part of the flowers and leaves is cut out from a white cardstock with the dies: doodle flowers set 1 , doodle flowers set 2, and leaves & stems.


Glue patterned papers with double-sided adhesive tape between themselves and insert white ovals in oval holes. On a card base we attach a ribbon.


Assemble the card.


Look on a spread card with a space for greetings and an inscription happy birthday.

Flowers on distressed background


Hi, is Vladka!

I love to work with Distress Inks, because it is so many possibility to use them and to play with them. So, I used three different colors today to create this card:


I will show you, how to create this background. Let's start!

Basics:
White card base: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (cut 5 1/2 x 11 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock or watercolor paper (5 x 5 inches)

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distres markers: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber
Other: paint brush, water, acrylic block, paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy,


1. With Doodle Flower Set 1 and Set 2 dies, cut 2 Flowers out from white cardstock. With Leaves and Stems die and Leafy Flourish 2 cut leaves and leafy flourish out from white cardstock. Color the flowers with Fossilized amber Distress Ink and distress the edges with Rusty Hinge. With Peeled paint Distress Ink color all the leaves. I used sponge to do this. But you can also color it with paint brush, distress inks and water, like I did it here. Spray the water on it and let it dry:


2. With Butterfly Kayla die cut the butterfly out with white cardstock and gently colored it the same way as flowers and spray it with water.

3. Flowers and greenery is prepared. Time to do the background. Take additional piece of paper and color the middle part with all 3 Distress Inks: Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge, Fossilized Amber as shown on the photo.


4. Now spray a water on it. It can be pretty much water, so that flows here and there. Leave it to dry or speed the drying process with heat gun.


5. Take biggest Square from Pierced Wide Square Frame Set (Basics) and cut it out from previous colored piece of paper to get one square and 2 square frames.


6. To get more intense colors on the smallest square, colored it again with the same Distress Inks as before and add some watter drops on it to get this interesting splotches.


7. Now, glue square and both square frames on the card base and glue also flowers, greenery and butterfly on it, as shown on the photo. I also cut out the Best Friends words with Best Friends Expressions die and added to the card.


You really need to try this, because Distress Inks and the water can do magic and using them together with CottageCutz dies is a fairytale. :)

Have fun and thank you!

With Deepest Sympathy


Hello everyone,

It's Donna here sharing another card with you  using some of the latest releasse with the CottageCutz dies from April.

I love the black and pink together!  I think this card is very elegant and I decided to make it a sympathy card.


Closer look

How I put my card together.

A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)
Black layer is 4 x 5 1/4

  • I cut all my pieces with white card stock from the "Doodle Flower Set 2",
  • die cut the leaves from colored cardstock,
  • inked the edges of the solid pieces from the flower set and the leaves,
  • embossed the black cardstock
  • adhered all of the pieces together with liquid glue,
  • arranged them on my card,
  • I die cut the sentiment out of white cardstock and used liquid glue to adhere it to my card,
  • finished off my card by using adding the pearls in the center of the rose,
  • I colored the pearls with a copic marker to match the roses.
