Sweet Daisy With Love


Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!!!
Today's card was created for the Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful Dakota & Daisy CottageCutz die , and CottageCutz Bella Spring Tree


I ended up using just Daisy from this die cut, and she was cut using white card stock, then colored with copics. Next I cut out the CottageCutz Bella Spring Tree with a green card stock, and turned it sideways and placed Daisy and her butterfly on top. I love the look, and think its a little different than just using it as a tree. LOVE all the swirls on it :)

The dp, is Echo Park/Eclectic Paper pack and the ribbon is vintage. I added these little paper circle things that were sent to me years ago. Lastly I added a button.


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Bella Baby Boy "Funky Fold Card"



Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July to all!!!
Today I wanted to share a Bella Baby Boy Funky Fold Card using the Darling CottageCutz Baby Release. For my card today I used the SWEET CottageCutz Baby Boys Clothes die cut for most of my images on my card. Most are colored with copics, and others are cut out in blue and brown card stock. Next I cut out some of the CottageCutz Diaper Pin Mini's to put along the bottom of my card.


 The FUNKY  FOLD card base has been around for many years, I do have some OLD video's on it, and you can find them HERE.

The design Paper I used is some of my Favorite Baby design Paper.Love the designs on it. However in the photo's its hard to see. I also used some Really Reasonable Ribbon Moss Green Leaves for the sides and the bottom.

CottageCutz "Thank you very much"


Hello everyone, I wanted to share an extra card I posted for CottageCutz on their blog , but didn't get to post on my blog due to being away on vacation.


Today's card was designed using the beautiful CottageCutz Garden Bird Branch, and the Blossom Branch dies from The Scrapping Cottage.
The Garden bird branch was cut 2 different times in a green dp, and a yellow dp. I then cut the birds out and placed them on the branch. As for the flowers those are colored with copics and then glued on.

The tag for the sentiment is cut with CottageCutz Doily Mini, then I punched out a circle to stamp the sentiment on and layer on top of the Mini Doily.

I love these beautiful dies, as you can do sooo much with them. To finish off the card I added a couple of bows with button centers. 


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