Cottage Cutz
Missing You Card



Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a card I created featuring CottageCutz Scalloped Doily, Vintage Dress Form,  Butterfly Mini and Fancy Insert Tag Dies.


I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background design. I then stamped my Fancy Insert Tag with some Distress Ink. The Vintage Dress Form was die cut twice. The first time I didn't put put much pressure on it so the die made an impression but didn't pop out all the little pieces. Then the second time I cut it with all the pieces popped out. The scalloped doily and mini butterfly are the perfect accents here!



I layered on dress form over the other. This would look great too with a contrasting paper for one of the die cuts. I stamped the sentiment and small rose buds. It was my first attempt at coloring with Copics. I just got a small starter set and only have a handful of colors. I also have no idea what I'm doing but I love them! 

Thanks for stopping by!

"hi" Card


Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful new Floral Notecard from the This N That collection at CottageCutz. You must stop by and see this collection in it's entirety! Sweet designs that are perfect for cards and tags!
Several papers were layered and then I added the Floral notecard and used it as the top layer on the card. I love the cut out design and topped it off with some die cut letters.


My favorite type of bows are ones created with seam binding. I use them all the time and love to color them with glimmer mists.


The little butterfly is the Butterfly Mini. I embossed it and then lightly went over it with ink. I also added some pearls to the body.

I have found a new love in card making and CottageCutz dies are just perfect for this type of art!

Today I am sharing the cute Cupcake Pocket with Notecard die that I layered over the front cover of a card. 
I have used distress inks to shade my cupcake die. I added litte sequins on the cupcake and mini roses on the top of the cherry.


This is the adorable notecard with a stamped sentiment.

Litte details were added to make this notecard extra special- netting, leaves, modeling paste and a brad!
