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 

from paper temptress

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:

CottageCutz/Flower pot house

Laces/Really Reasonable Ribbon
