CottageCutz Fancy Bella Butterfly

 Greetings Friends and Bloggers it's Carol here today.  Welcome to my CottageCutz Fancy Bella Butterfly project.  Isn't this color awesome.  It is the special edition Tim Holts Peacock Feathers distress ink.  It's so pretty-I just love it.   What I have for you today is called a tent topper card.
 To create this gorgeous butterfly die cut two of the Fancy Bella Butterfly.  Distress ink with the Peacock Feathers distress ink making sure to ink the edges darker on the outer edges of the die and pull the color towards the center so it is lighter.  Paint both butterfly pieces with glitter glue and sprinkle Martha Stewart plain white glitter over the top and let it dry.  Once it has dried, use pop dots to attach the two butterfly pieces together and shape the wings.  The glittered pieces help the wings to hold their shape.  Glue some tiny prima roses down the middle for accent.
 For the focal point, attach your butterfly to a Spellbinders Nested Circle on top of the Spellbinders Nested Butterfly Circle, then two more layers of scalloped circles.  The largest nested circle is from the Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle die. 
The bottom was punched with Martha Stewart Deep Double Edge Punch - Embroidery.  Cut one Bella Spring Wreath out of white cardstock, then cut it in half.  Attach these two pieces on the bottom of card to frame the focal point.  Add a few rhinestones and your done.  Thank you so much for stopping by today to view my project.  I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day!  These are the dies I used from CottageCutz:

Spring Shower Lovebirds

Hello ladies, Vladka here today! 


This card is made with my favorite recipe: Kraft and white cardstock and birds die cuts. I love dies with bird motives and this is the reason, that I couldn´t resist to choose Spring Shower Lovebirds die. So, I made another wedding card and there is no wedding card without heart, this time cut out and stamped with polkadot stamp. ;)


I also cut out the branch with Whimsy Bird & Cage die and colored it with distress inks, which I also used to distress the edges of the card:


This is it for today, I wish you good start in new week!

Spring Tweetie


Hello everyone and beautiful Saturday to you all!
It's Simona  with you again with a new project showcasing


The Spring Tweetie die was cut out of white cardstock
and colored with Spectrum Noir markers. 


For the base of my card I used white cardstock.
Then I added a layer of Graphic 45 - The Secret Garden
designer paper.


For the top layer I used white cardstock again.
I placed the Oval Doily & Frame die right in the center of 
the cardstock and cut it. Then I removed the doily cut
from the center and dry embossed the cardstock.
The edges from the oval doily were sponged with
Distress Ink vintage photo.


And finally the butterflies are from the
cut out of white cardstock and colored with brown 
Spectrum Noir marker. I also used some white liquid pearls.

Hope you like todays project.
Thank you for looking!

Hugs,
Simona

Daisy Showers


Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's Kathy with you and today I have a card using CottageCutz's Daisy Showers Die!





This is such a cute die! I had so much fun trying out different color combinations, and finally decided on yellow, green and white. The die was cut using Solar White Cardstock by Neenah and colored with chalk inks and makeup sponges. Here's a little close-up for you.




I added Aleene's Paper Glaze to the flower centers to pop them a bit. I also added an extra flower on the boot in the opposite colors. The card base is Lemon Tart Cardstock by Papertry Ink made into a square 4-1/4" card with Solar White mat particially embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from Seeds of Summer by JustRite. I finished it off with white lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Kaiser Craft adhesive pearls.

Here is the die I used...

A bowl full of strawberries

Hello dear friends of CottageCutz dies.
Today I am (Simona) sharing with you another
card made with beautiful CottageCutz dies:
I thought it would be fun to use those two dies together.


I cut the strawberries out twice from white cardstock and
colored and sponged them with distress inks -
barn door, fired brick, peeled paint and pine needles.
I cut the largest bowl out of DCWV paper - Nana's Kitchen Stack
and sponged the edges with distress ink vintage photo.


I cut oval doily out of white cardstock and placed it 
under the bowl with strawberries.


The background paper and the Welcome tag are also
from the same DCWV paper collection - Nana's Kitchen Stack.


I added the little flowers from the Spring Strawberries die
to the card and made a double bow.

Hope you like todays post.

Thank you for looking and wish you
all a great day!

Hugs,
Simona
