CottageCutz Mini's

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! I wanted to share a couple of super fast and EASY cards I made using CottageCutz Mini's and Really Reasonable Ribbon's Gingham.

So I wanted to make some super fast and easy cards, these are mini's, I also used the DARLING CottageCutz Mini Butterfly and Mini Ladybug on my 2 cards for today.

CottageCutz Dies:

Mini Butterfly

Mini Ladybug

Love Tags'

Springtime Tea(for the lacy tag on pink card)

On my CottageCutz Mini Butterflies below I distressed them and then added some Viva Pearl Pen.

My card Here was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon's Mother's Day/Feminine Challenge plus ribbon!!!

I normally add sewing to my cards, and layers, Of course I LOVE lots of layers and sewing, but I guess if you wanted to make some super small and FAST cards to give last minute these would be fine.

I do love the shape and how small they are, and of course these DARLING CottageCutz Mini makes the cards just tooo cute!!!

 The measurements on these 2 cards is

5 3/4 x 2 1/4

dp is 5 1/2 x 2

Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon

Ladybugs were cut using brown card stock and then pink . No distressing on these. The were super easy to put together using foam squares.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday to all! Today I'm sharing a CAS card made for Alota Rubber Stamps Challenge #82 Animals!

I wanted to make a few simple cards, something easy that takes under 10 minutes to put together. This card took me no time at all to make. I just cut a 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 piece of cardstock in PINK then folded on the 4 1/2 to make it 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 tall. Then rounded the corners with the 1/4" rounder.

Next I cut a piece of design paper to 2 x 5 1/2 then rounded all the corners glued this to the card base.

Next I cut a CottageCutz Love tag and stamped my DARLING Alota Rubber Stamps Donkey image on that. Then colored with copics, and distressed with Spun sugar I took some RRR and tied it around the front and then added my bow. Super FAST and EASY to make card. 

Close up!

I LOVE Victorine Originals Stamps, they carry sooo many BEAUTIFUL stamps, and this is just 1 of many . I love the "Happy Mother's Day stamp, and there are others too.

Another Fun Fold Card ♥♥♥Thank you♥♥♥

♥♥♥Hello everyone, Cheryl here with another Fun Fold Card for Really Reasonable Ribbon. Todays Fold is a Z Card Fold. On my card I used several different ribbons,trim,and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

  ♥♥♥Z fold Card 6 x 17" long♥♥♥

I love making different card folds, they are super fun and super cute. I love this one, since it has different scenes on it. I used for the front of my card Really Reasonable Ribbons Pink Satin in 2 different sizes. I also used the Moss Leaves Trim, and Noelle Lace. for the big bow I used the Pink Double Ruffled edge ribbon. I also used Tilda,her bench, and Wild Orchid flowers. All direct links are listed here below :)

♥♥♥Ribbons Used♥♥♥

Moss Green Leaves

Double Ruffled Edge Pink Ribbon

Noelle White Crocheted Lace

Scor-Tape

♥♥♥Next you see is Tilda and a CottageCutz magnolia Doily, I figured I could add a stamp sentiment here or some writing. 

 ♥♥♥In my next picture you can see the entire card open. I think its neat to have the writing hidden, you see the tab in the back, well that pulls out for double sided writing, there is enough room to write on the front and the back of this pull tab panel. 

♥♥♥CottageCutz Dies Used♥♥♥

Picket Fence Border die

Window Die

♥♥♥close up of the front. I used the CottageCutz Picket Fence border die, and ran RRR Satin Pink through it.

♥♥♥Here on this page, I added Tilda's Tree, and Tilda Sitting. Her bird, and some clouds die cut pieces. I stamped on them with Su! sentiments. 

On my back page, I continued on with the Cottagecutz Picket Fence border, and then used the New CottageCutz window. Perfect for writing. I also added another Tilda and another Bird and cloud here.

 All my Tilda Stamps are from ♥♥♥Michelle's Scrapbooking and More!!♥♥♥
