Click on the Pictures below to see close up! :)
Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! 
Today's Envelope Pocket Easel Card was designed for Victorine Originals "Anything Goes" Challenge. 

For my card I decided to stamp VO's (10566-X) Angels Set(found under Mirkwood Designs) , and I used the Angel and the sentiment both from this set. I LOVE this stamp set, and had fun coloring her to match Graphic45 Design Paper. I used Copics to color her.

Next I added some Really Reasonable Ribbon Mini Pom Pom Trim in white, Brown Seam Binding, and White Pearlized bead strands. The feathers were given to me by my mom :) Thank you MOM!!!

I did add sewing to my card, of course I feel it gives that little bit of extra embellishment :) 


Most of you know that I love Hidden messages, and my tag in this case, can have writing on the back. Normally I will do a white front, or white back, but I thought how fun it would be to use the dp for my tag.


I hope you will join us over at Victorine Originals Challenge this week for some more FUN & Prizes :)

Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Shabby Chic Sweetheart


Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all! Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon's "Show Me The Green" Challenge that has started today, and goes through the 14th of March.


On my card I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Pink & White Seam Binding. I have distressed the white with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Green. I also used white Sheer Box Pleated Trim that Bonnie carries, and used it around the buttons, to create a flower button piece. All buttons are also from Really Reasonable Ribbon.



Next I used CottageCutz Heart Rose Wreath, and I absolutely LOVE this die. Its perfect for any Shabby Chic project. The heart was cut out in white, and then distressed with Old paper, and peeled paint. Next I distressed the flowers with Spun Sugar and came in with another pink to give a little bit of shading. Lastly I added some pearls to the center of 3 of the flowers.

Behind my layers is a CottageCutz Tea Time Doily that I cut in half to place one at the top and the other at the bottom.

A Lil' Shabby Chic

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! Today I'm sharing a Shabby Chic card I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon & The Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful CottageCutz Dies.



I LOVE the look of Shabby Chic, its soo soft and pretty! And of course my FAVORITE color is PINK :)

On my card here I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's -
Louise Lace

For the buttons, I just ran thread through them,and hot glued them to my card. Next I used the lace as a border across the bottom of my punched border. The Pink Seam binding I used to create a bow. And lastly I added a flower to the center of my bow.

The stamps I used are SU! Celebration stamps/Vintage Verses. The dies I used on my card are all  CottageCutz Dies.

Here is a complete list of CottageCutz used:
CottageCutz /Vintage Dress Form
CottageCutz/ Tea Time Tags
CottageCutz /Tea Time Doily
CottageCutz / Oval Doily & Frame


 The Oval doily is placed over the Tea Time doily to give a different look. I think they look pretty combined together.
Thank you for looking and have a nice day!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz "I Love U"

Hello everyone , today I'm sharing my card designed using 4 different CottageCutz Dies. I LOVE this sweet CottageCutz "Puppy Love Carrier" he is too CUTE!

I decided to airbrush him using the copic markers, and airbrushing system. I then went in and used some Creative Inspiration Paints (Tutu Pink, Coal)on him and the LOVE after they were colored. The Bee Mine frame was done using the same technique. I used the center piece as a templete so I could leave a white area for my image.


The I and U are from the CottageCutz Sugar & Cream Alphabet Die. I cut them out with white card stock and colored them with black. Lastly I added some RRRibbon, and a button with some gems.




Hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day!!!
Hugs to all,

CottageCutz Vintage Mini Tussy Mussy


Hello everyone, today I wanted to share another Mini Toilet Paper Tussy Mussy that I made this week. On this one, I used CottageCutz "Fancy Perfume Bottles" from the Vintage Release. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this RELEASE!!!!


I wanted a vintage look to my Tussy Mussy, so I went with Vintage Laces, and ruffles, and Vintage Seam Binding, all from my stash. Then I picked a dp that I thought could be vintage looking, and went off of those colors for my perfume bottle. 

The CottageCutz Perfume Bottle is cut out with a design paper, then distress with brushed Corduroy ink. Next I cut the hose and top pieces all with cream card stock and distressed it with tea dye. The bulb is airbrushed with copic YR61 and then distressed with old paper. My flowers were colored with copics R32, YR61 , for the greenery on the bottle I used YG95 & G99 copic markers.



The Lace I used on the bottom ,top, and handle are very very old. The ruffled behind the bow, Im not sure how old that is. I also used Really Reasonable Ribbon Brown Antique Gold Ribbon for my bow. Now behind the hearts is a peach seam binding, I just ruched it up. Lastly I added a string of pearls to the bottom :)




If you havent seen the NEW CottageCutz Releases you will have to take a moment and stop by The Scrapping Cottage Store HERE :)




Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl
