Christmas Blessings

Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday to all! So today I just had to share this beautiful Christmas sentiment that I used on my card from the NEWLY released stamp set called "Luke 2" from The Project Bin! Awww I just LOVE designing Christmas cards, they are so much fun! Cant wait to share some more with you all soon. :)

So on this card I kept the sentiment simple , by just stamping it in Distressed ink Black Soot. Love that using the Mini Misti tool helps to get that perfect look on your sentiments. Omgosh this is the best tool ever for stamping! I love how if you missed an area, you can just stamp directly over it again and again, or if you want a deeper darker look, the same applies. Ok so enough about the mini misti and on to my card for today

Card base-
 ream card stock cut at 5 1/2" x 11"  and then scored at 5 1/2" to create my card base.

Layer 3- 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" for the card stock, then design paper is 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" sentiment stamped in Black Soot using the Mini Misti tool(LOVE THIS)
Layer 4- flowers from JustRite Papercraft, and the branches are from Martha Stewart. I used the glue gun to take those down to the card, then the flowers were put together using a liquid glue.

BOW- the big bow was made using Really Reasonable Ribbon Shimmer Satin, and is 2 bows placed on top of each other.

Movie Night Invites

Hello everyone, I'm super EXCITED to share with you all some Movie Night Invites I designed using the CottageCutz Lights , camera , Action Release.

Absolutely LOVE these, as they turned out super CUTE! Will have to have a MOVIE night, and use them to invite Family & Friends over.

Film Strip- cut in white card stock, and colored with copics
Clapboard-also cut in white card stock, and colored with copic markers (3)

First I flatten my toilet paper roll using the big shots machine, and then cut out the ends using a circle punch. I then painted with black paint, inside and out/set aside to dry. Next I cut my design paper to fit and leave a tad bit of the edges showing black. Then I glued on the paper using a liquid glue. Next is time to decorate(Fun Part), and work on the slider card for the inside. This is where it will say "DATE/TIME/PLACE" :) you can print it out on the computer, or use stickers like I did.

These are super fun and EASY to make!! Hope you enjoyed my post today, and thank you for stopping by!

Hello everyone,
Just had to do another card for Wednesdays sketch challenge on SCS, and do it without flipping the design...hehehe

 For my card I used the Beautiful Poinsettia CottageCutz Christmas die, and colored with copics  R37, R39 , E08, YG03 , YG95. I added some gold gala glitz to the center to finish up the poinsettia. 

 

The holly was colored using the YG copics listed above.

Ribbon is from my stash, its GOLD and I hardly ever use it, but when I put it up to this card, I knew it was perfect to complete this one.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!

CottageCutz Black Friday Preview/Puppy In Bag

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!

Today is day 4 of the CottageCutz Black Friday Previews for the CottageCutz "In The Woods" Release. 

Today I'm showcasing the Sweet CottageCutz Puppy in Bag Die. He is another super cute die in this darling collection. He is cut out in white card stock, and then colored using the dusting technique. I did dust him using Tim Holtz distressed inks. Next I colored his eyes, nose, and mouth using copics.

This card was super simple to make, as I cute a 3 1/2" x 7" piece of card stock for the card base, then layered my frame with Pink Paislee design paper Winter Wonderland. I added some Really Reasonable Ribbon in a brown Gingham Print, and a big bow/ with a button. Lastly I added some white dots to the corners, and stamped a StampinUp! sentiment on the bottom.

CottageCutz Poinsettia & Holly Spray

Hello Friends!!!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year! I love making all the Christmas cards, and fun stuff! And I absolutely LOVE all the NEW Christmas CottageCutz dies! For my card today I used the Beautiful CottageCutz Poinsettia & Holly Spray, along with the CottageCutz Expressions "Noel" for this 3 x 3 Mini Card.

I love when we find easy and fast cards to make. Using the CottageCutz dies makes it super fast and easy, and I LOVE the look of these beauties!!!  I'm thinking of making some place setting name tags with these cards and the CottageCutz Petites. I will share what I come up with when finished. :)

The poinsettia spray was colored with copic markers, and then I added some Viva Pearl pen in gold to the center of the poinsettia, and to the branches. The Noel was cut in red card stock. The design paper is a Christmas print from Pink Paislee "Snow Village" I got this pad from American Crafts, and the little card is Bazzils mini 3 x 3, also from American Crafts.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a treat bag made for Really Reasonable Ribbon's Patriotic and Ribbon Theme Challenge that started today!

I've wanted to use these super darling treat bags I got from American Crafts, they go with the American Line from Pebbles. I also used the Pen Pal line from from Pink Paislee, love both of these. The Really Reasonable Ribbon works PERFECT with both lines. I LOVE the ribbon for my bow, it reminds me of the american flag, its called "Flag Grosgrain Ribbon", next I used the Mini Pom Poms in blue, and the Lace is Gabrielle off white, and is absolutely beautiful!!

I used the Sweetheart Blossoms from Really Reasonable Ribbon as well, and those can be found here! 

The Super Cute Teddy is Mr. Snuggles and is a CottageCutz die and is dusted with distressed ink, and then I added a watermelon sticker to him. He is my favorite teddy!!!

All the stickers are matching to each collection that I listed above. Pen Pal, and Americana, both are paper collections from Pebbles and Pink Paislee.

Thank you for looking and have a super nice day!

May Hop!

July Desk Calendar(Heidi Swapp)

You should have arrived from Linsey's Blog If not you will want to start out at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog so that you wont miss anything.

I hope you have enjoyed our Hop so far today as there is a LOT of inspiration using the Beautiful May Ribbon Kit from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I just LOVE all the ribbons in this months assortment! Of course I LOVE every month as they are all so Beautiful!!! I did use lots of red,blue,and the lace from this months assortment, on my July Desk Calendar for today.

Today's Desk Calendar was designed using the Heidi Swapp desk calendar, and then I covered the chipboard pages(each month) with Design Paper, and then made the second page to hold the actual calendar. On the backside of this cover, is room for a PHOTO. I just haven't placed one in there yet.

I used LOTS of the ribbon from this months assortment. I used the beautiful Red and Blues, and then the red polka dot ribbon. I also used the lace from this months kit as well. The dp is Pen Pal from American Crafts, I believe its the Pink Paislee collection. On the front page I used Buttons, and flowers and those too can be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

These are the 2 pages you see when you open July's page. There is room for a photo under that frame. Its part of the Pen Pal collection. For the LOVE button thing, I added some of the lace, and then ribbon behind it, and then hot glued it on. All the sticker chipboard pieces are from this Pen Pal Collection.  I ran the lace down both sides under the frame, and then used it across the bottom of the Calendar page. The flowers on these 2 pages are metal and are from American Crafts. These calendar pages are super fun to make, and it looks super cut on my work desk! LOVE IT!!!
