Hello Friends!!

today's gift card holder was designed for Victorine Originals Challenge "In the Garden" we were to use Bugs or Animals for our card/project.

I used the sweet beautiful Strawberry stamp and the sentiment, both from VO! Also on my gift Card holder I used CottageCutz Grass Border die, and the darling little CottageCutz Mini Ladybug for the tag, and inside. On the front I used a ladybug button, and a flower button(with gem in center)on the bow. The Ribbons used are from Really Reasonable Ribbon(Red Polka Dot/Green Satin).I added a little sewing to complete my project.

I hope you will join us over at Victorine Originals this week , to play along in our super fun challenge with a chance to WIN a gift certificate to the Victorine Originals Store!

Bella Butterfly


Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!!

Today I wanted to share the CottageCutz Bella Spring Release. On my card for today I used the Bella Butterfly and Bella Spring Corner. LOVE these new Elites from The Scrapping Cottage.


On my card I did 2 layers of the same Design Paper, then added my Bella Spring Corners that I absolutely LOVE!! these are perfect for cards/mini albums and Layouts!!!! I cut them out using Paper Temptress's Black Leather card stock. The butterfly was also cut using Paper Temptress Nero Incandescent Black, and then the vellum. The LOVE tag was cut using black, and then cut again with white. I stamped a SU! sentiment on the love tag with Memento black ink.

Hey there is NO Ribbon on this card, SHOCKING huh???LOL

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

CottageCutz Quackers & Quack Notepad w/Pencil/video


Today's Post is a Notepad I created.
 I used the SWEET CottageCutz Quackers & Quack and the Matching CottageCutz Spring Showers Border. I love these DARLING dies!!! I cut Quackers & Quack out with Yellow card stock, then distressed them with yellow ink. Next I colored their other pieces with Orange, and Yellow copics. Glued to together and then used a pen for their eyes. 

For the Border-
I cut the border out in white. Then colored each item with copics except for the umbrella and the boots. Those I used  the same coordinating design paper and cut them out. Love the look of the border. Next I used Viva Pearl Pen to add the white dots.

These New CottageCutz can be found in the Spring Showers Release





For the inside I added a notepad, and a pencil. This would be great to keep on a desk, or even your work area to write down notes, or reminders.


I used the CottageCutz Oval & Doily Die for the sentiment , and dusted the edges with ink. For under the border, I added some Vintage Lace. Lastly I added a Bow using Really Reasonable Ribbon Light Navy Satin, and then some buttons.The stamp is a SU!

Challenges:
Bearly Mine/Die Cuts or Punches( I used all die cuts on my notebook)
Creative Card Crew/Dies or Punches
Ribbon Carousel /Fun in the Sun


Thank you for looking and have a Lovely Day!
