CottageCutz Bunny TricZ-Gate Fold/Video's

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my TricZ-Gate Fold Card and Video on coloring CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny/and my TricZ-Gate Fold Video. Also left a link below to my Band video for holding this card together.

I created this card using the Z-Fold and moving it to the bottom. Then I thought how fun would it be to have the z fold gates smaller on top. So I thought the Name TricZ-Gate Fold would be perfect for my card!(Tric is for Trick)

 I really think these types of cards are super fun to make and perfect for adding photo's.

I used the DARLING CottageCutz Easter Basket Bunny, and Ruched white Crepe Paper to cut her out. Ive colored her with Distressed Inks and show how in my video below.

CottageCutz Dies I used:

Easter Basket Bunny

Watering Can,Tulips

Fancy Filigree Wreath

Love Tags Set

Plumeria & Leaves

Pink Peony Flowers

Ribbon and Lace is from Really Reasonable Ribbon 

I used the CottageCutz fancy Filigree Wreath for layering behind my Bunny. The Bunny is holding the Tulip from theCottageCutz die called Watering Can ,and Tulips, I thought the Tulips would be perfect fit for this DARLING bunny!!!

I also used leaves from these 2 CottageCutz Dies as well

CottageCutz Plumeria and Leaves 

Pink Peony Flower

I thought using a mixture of leaves from the 3 CottageCutz dieswould be perfect spot for the bunny to sit :)

Coloring on bunny, using white ruched card stock

Tilda Z-Gate Fold Card & Video Tutorials

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I'm sharing my Tilda Z-Gate Fold card designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and Michelle's Scrapbooking and More.

I used a Z-Fold concept for my Card designed and turned it into a Z-Gate Fold for todays post. I also made a band to hold this card closed.

There is also a pull Tab for more room to write. there is PLENTY of room for Pictures to add to this beauty!!

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's BEAUTIFUL Gingham Ribbon and Noelle Crocheted Lace, LOVE LOVE LOVE this Lace and Ribbon. Of course I only use all RRR on all my cards and projects.

Here im showing the card open, now there is room on the backs of the Z-FOLDS to write and to add pictures if you would like. There is plenty of room for writing as you can see. I know I always need room for writing in my cards.

Now this card is THICK and the only way to mail it would be in a bubble wrap envelope , otherwise i think handing it to whomever is the best way....hehehehehe I would not try to mail in a regular envelope :)

Here im showing the Pull Tab area, its a pocket kinda like an envelope, and the frame slides in , I like that its a hidden message area :)

The picture below shows the backs of the Z-Fold

Now the band on this card slides up to remove it.

Here is the Z-Gate Fold Video for my Card!

Z-Gate Fold Band for holding the card together!

CottageCutz Flower Pot House/ &Video Tutorial

Hello everyone today and Happy Friday to all! Today's post is using CottageCutz Flower Pot House, and I also have a Video on how I colored and cut this house to create a fold down pocket.

All Dp is from My Little Shoebox

My Card is a double Bi-Fold Card! I also used the Bi-Fold on the Flower Pot House as well!!

To create this I used the DARLING CottageCutz Flower Pot House & Love Tags set. I just LOVE this DARLING Flower Pot its super cute, and on mine i left off the window and door. You can decorate it with all the little decorations that come in the CottageCutz.

You have options with this CottageCutz

You can make like a pocket, adding tape along the sides of the folder piece, or cut just one Flower Pot and add tape along the bottom and sides. I wanted a fold down pocket, to give room to WRITE :)

I added the Love Tag to the bottom of the Flower Top to create a pull tab for this tag, it also keeps the folded area closed like a pocket.

I think this Flower Pot House would be PERFECT for layouts,and Mini Albums too!!

Supplies Used:

Cottage Cutz/Spring Chick a dee/& Video

Hello everyone today I'm sharing a Sweet Cottage Cutz Spring Chick-a-dee from The Scrapping Cottage! I've also done a video showing how I colored her and with what colors.

My card is the opposite of the Z-Fold card, when open it should fold like a Z but i wanted to do mine a little different, so it folds in :) 

I love Cottage Cutz Spring Chick-a-dee, she is sooo cute, and super fun to color. I almost was going to use the Dusting technique i love doing on these but decided to color with copics today.

Ive added some pearls to both their dresses, and to the flower by the mailbox. The LOVE is stamped from Cottage Cutz Vintage Key.

mailbox was dusted with Tim Holtz Colors-

The Post was dusted in-Tea Die

Mailbox=Spun Sugar

Letter in Mailbox=antique linen

For Spring Chick=YR31,Y11,Y08

Cheek Color=R20

Beak and Feet=YR09,YR15

Dress & Hat=RV34,RV23

These colors were used on this Spring Chick-a-dee below. and all the chicks above, the only color i cant remember is the one on the front of the card, since that green was used on the hat a few days ago. I think for the dress on the front I listed it in the video below.

Hope you enjoy my video! 

I did forget to show how i add the cheeks in the video since it was running out of time, but I just add them with R20 and if you want to soften them use the clear blender copic. I didnt soften them in these. I also added some white gel pen to the cheeks.

All Ribbon used is PINK Satin From Really Reasonable Ribbon Found Here~Ive used it on the front lower right corner, and on the chick's hat in the picture right above my video. 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
