CottageCutz - Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone,

I am here with CottageCutz with another card from the new release from June's "home sweet home" collection. This release is really nice, it's all about the home. I am using the Build-A-House Set 2, The first die in the set is to build your house and the second one is accessories for the outside of your house. There are three separate words even though it is one die.  The words are from  "Home Sweet Home Phrase set." which includes three words , so if you wanted to use the "home's" or "sweet" separately you can.

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).

I have die cut all the pieces that I need to build my house.  The pieces that I cut out and I don't use, I like to keep them because I can use them later if I want to use the die.

I sponged all the pieces I needed to, to give the dies some dimension.

I cut out the clouds from the Clouds and Sun die cut set to use the largest cloud to make clouds in the background of my card.  I saved the pieces that I did not use to use at another time.

Here is how I used the largest die to make the clouds.

It's a Girl - CottageCutz

Hello everyone,

I am here with CottageCutz to share a cute waterfall mini album made with one sheet of 12 x 12 paper.  I saw a tutorial on youtube, so I thought I would give it a try.  Here is the link to the tutorial.

Here is how I put it together:

1. The mini album measures 3" x 4".
2. I used one sheet of black 12 x 12 -  65 lbs card stock to construct the mini 
3. I scored the 12 x 12 paper at 4" and 8" turned my paper and scored at 3", 6", 9 (please refer to the tutorial to learn how to put the album together)
4. My design paper is cut at 2 3/4  x 3 3/4 - 8 pieces 
5. I cut the "It's a Girl", giraffe and lion die with my big shot to decorate the book.

The first two pages when you open the book, the little giraffe is a CottageCutz die

The next page, the lion is from the CottageCutz die 

First waterfall

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #43 - Summertime

Hello everyone,

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, it is "Summertime".  I hope you all are enjoying your summer so far.  I know I am, it has been a busy one, but I am enjoying it!  I love the warm weather, how about you?

I am using MFT Stamp set that was released in May of 2015.  The sentiment is from Impression Obsession which I believe is a new stamp.  Have you been to the beach yet?  Don't you love these cute little penguins!  I colored them with copics and used the dies to cut them out.  The background is paper I had in my stash.

I hope you have been inspired by my card and will join the challenge. You have until July 29th to hop on over to Retro Rubber to join the challenge. Remember to use a stamp over a year old and make sure you tell us how old it is. I cannot wait to see your creation!  Leave me a comment to tell me how you liked my card, I love to read them.

Welcome

Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I am here with CottageCutz with some of the new release from June's "home sweet home" collection.  This release is really nice, it's all about the home.  I am using the Build-A-House Set 1, which includes two dies.  The first die in the set is to build you house and the second one is to accessories the outside of your house.  These are a must have, it is perfect for welcoming someone to the neighborhood or congratulating someone for buying their new home.  The list could go on.  Here is my card, I am welcoming someone to the neighborhood.

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).

Here is a closer look

How I put my card together:  

1.  I die cut all the pieces I wanted to use on my card using my big shot machine,

2.  I inked up all of the pieces,

3.  The windows I cut small pieces of yellow to adhere to the back of the windows and the top of the door

4.  I assembled the pieces with wet glue and tape runner

5.  I cut my background piece (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) from my stash (thought this paper was cool, because it looks like the sky)

6.  I then started adding all my elements to the card.  I layed the house down first and went from there.

7.  Love all the details.  The cat and dog are from the Build a House accessory set.  I used the flowers from the Garden Accessories set.  I added some mini rhinestones in the middle of the flowers to make them stand out and added the grass to the bottom of the card from the Grass, Trees and Vines. 

8.  I finished my card off, by adding the sentiment "Welcome".

z2z Scrapbooking July Challenge - Hero Arts Layering Pineapple

Hello everyone,

I am here with a2z Scrapbooking July Challenge and it is "Anything Goes".  I am showcasing the Hero Arts Layering Pineapple.  This is a wonderful set, there are several ways you can do the layering.  This set has three different layers for the body of the pineapple and three layers for the top. It also has three sentiments and a layering flower.  I chose to only use two layers for the pineapple.

Here is how I put my card together:

1.  The card is an A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
2.  Second layer is 4 x 5 1/4,
3.   I stamped the body of the pineapple first with Hero Arts Butter Bar and then stamped the the top layer with Hero Arts Caramel,
4.   I then die cut the the pineapple before stamping the top.  I was afraid I would not line the die up with my stamped image,
5.  I then stamped the top part of the pineapple with Hero Arts Green Hills, the top layer is Forever Green,
6.  I cut a piece of vellum out and embossed the sentiment from the Hero Arts Layering Pineapple.
7.  I took my score board and scored the top of the vellum so it would go behind my design paper so the adhesive would not show on the front of the card,
8.  I attached the vellum to my card,
9.  I added the two pineapples onto the vellum and added foam tape to the top pineapple,
10.  To finish the card, I added some Hero Arts rhinestones.

That is it, if you have not tried using the Hero Arts layering stamps, they are so much fun.  They make it so easy for you, because you can also purchase the small ink spots with coordinating colors for each set.  Please stop over at the a2z Scrapbooking Esty store and get this versatile stamp set. There is only one left in the store, if it is sold out, there is a link to click on to request a custom order on the left hand side of the store.  You can also use the code "Donna15" to receive 15% off of a $25.00 order.
