Love is in the air

Hi, Janja is here with you. Happy New Year to everyone!
For today I prepared a simple wedding card. New year, a new beginning.
I decided to use only two colors. Let's see how it's made.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Dapper Dachshund, Balloons variety
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- brown card stock: 4.6 x 4.6" (11,7 x 11,7 cm)
- patterned paper: 4.5 x 4.5" (11,4 x 11,4 cm)
- white, brown and black card stock for die cuts
- Distress ink pads: Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self adhesive foam pads 

With the Dapper Dachshund die cut out all the elements and put them together.



Cut out two balloons. 


Prepare a white card base. Cut two squares. 
Stamp a sentiment in black on a patterned paper.



Complete the card.


Have a nice day.

For a newborn baby and a birthday

Hi, Janja here.
In the Mother's Day release we find beautiful dies which are also useful for other occasions.
I prepared a baby shaker card and a birthday card.


I used:
- CottageCutz dies: Mama Kangaroo & Joey, Mama Raccoon & Baby, Stitched Numbers, Balloons Variety, Sweet Love Borders, Spring Grass, Stitched Sewing Notions (button), Circle Set
- white card base: 4.25 x 3.35" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm)
- fun foam: 3.74 x 5" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- transparent foil
- white and colored cardstock
- a white pen
- Distress ink pads: Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke
- double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads, glue

Create A2 card base from a white cardstock. Cut a smaller layer from a patterned paper, and another one from a fun foam. Prepare a piece of transparent foil. 
Round the corners at the bottom. With the die cut the circle opening in a patterned paper, and in a fun foam. Stamp an inscription on a white card base.
 


Now die cut and assemble the Mama Kangaroo & Joey. This die is a perfect thing to help us welcome all those adorable little newborns. 
Also, prepare two white borders and a button. White and pink hearts will be used to fill the shaker area.




Attach Mama Kangaroo with self-adhesive pads.


For a birthday card, prepare a white card base. Cut patterned paper smaller than a card base. Stamp "Happy Birthday from all of us" in black on a patterned paper. Cut the grass from a green cardstock.


Now cut and assemble the central motif, number four and balloons. Cut off the second baby twice. 
Add dashes on balloons with a white pen. 
All my cutouts are made from colored cardstock that have the edges shadowed with Distress inks.



And we're at the end.


Have a nice day.

Birthday Balloons

Hi, Lois here with my Monday card.  We all need birthday cards, and I have a relatively simple one for you today -- using two different CottageCutz sets, Happy Birthday Phrase and Balloons, Variety.


To start my card, I cut a piece of heavyweight cardstock 10" x 6 1/2", scoring it at 5".  I also cut two pieces of purple cardstock, 4 3/4" x 6 1/4" and 3" x 4 1/4"; as well as two pieces of patterned paper, one 4 1/2" x 6" and the other 2 7/8" x 4 1/8".


I then cut the images in various colors from the two dies . . .



. . . and sponged some distress ink on them to give them a bit of dimension.  I added a highlight on each balloon with a white gel pen.


Then I constructed my card base . . . 


 . . . and added the various die cuts.


Easy peasy!

Let's celebrate

Hi, Janja here!

Today, I share with you an invitation to celebrate a child's birthday.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Celebrate Phrase, Balloons variety, Birthday Party BearSpring Grass, Stitched Wide Square Frame Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,6 x 12,6 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- Distress inks: Antuque Linen, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo

As usual, first cut out all the pieces to compose a motive. In our case, this is a bear. Also prepare a few balloons, celebrate phrase, grass and a white frame. For the frame, use the largest die of the set.





On a light blue cardstock print "Let's", which will be supplemented with cutout "celebrate".
Trim patterned paper, and white card base for an invitation.


Create clouds on a light blue cardstock with cloud stencil and Distress ink pad - Tumbled Glass.


Begin by assembling the invitation.
With a large number of invitations, pay attention that the layout is not too demanding.
First paste background with clouds and white frame in the middle of patterned paper. Use double-sided adhesive tape.


To catch the middle of card base, paste double-sided adhesive tape on the back side of our background. Fix a tape on the edges along the entire length.


Remove only a part of the protective strip. Place all together on a white card base. Since the protective strip is not removed completely, we can easy move the cardstock on the base. When we are sure it is in the middle, place a finger on the base, and pull the protective strips.



Thank you for coming over and have a nice day.
