MOM

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a Mother's Day Card I created using all CottageCutz Beautiful Dies!!!

In this photo, I created my CottageCutz Zinnia Flowers with the plum design paper, it has a faint writing on it, next I distressed each and every layer with Dusty Concord Distressed Inks. For the leaves I used a green design paper with faint writing on it as well, and did the same but used peeled paint distressed ink to get the look I achieved. Lastly for the centers I used Viva Pearl Pen to create Pearls for the centers.

 On the CottageCutz Postage Stamp Die I used white Card Stock and distressed it with Antique Linen Distressed ink. I then stamped ODBD Stamps in memento black ink. For behind the Postage Stamp I used the CottageCutz Scalloped Doily but cut it in half to make a piece for the top and the bottom. I love the look it gives!!

I used Recollections Habitat design paper for my card :)

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

"Be Mine" Vintage Valentine

I hope the postage stamp die hasn't worn out it's welcome, because here's another card using this most fabulous die. Can't tell you how much I love this one! :) I used it on a vintage looking card this time, also using the heart die and "be mine" stamp.



Paper doily, pearls, buttons, ribbon and lace can add a vintage feel to almost any project, IMO. My motto for vintage is, add a little more if you think you have too much and then it will be just right! :)

Happy crafting!

Another Sneak Peek!

Good morning and welcome to The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  I have another little sneaky peeky for you today.  There are some wonderful things headed your way for Valentine's Day from The Scrapping Cottage, and this is one of them.  They will be available for purchase very soon, so get your wish lists made!!  ;)   The postage stamp die is one of my favorites of the coming release, and there are 11 adorable stamp images that can be used in the center of the die cut.  Today I'm using another one of my favorites, and that's this cute little Love Frog.  Isn't she sweet?  I say "she", because there are eyelashes drawn on her, and I even exaggerated those a little more with my black Micron pen. 

I embellished the edge of the die cut with some red and white twine, and although it's a little difficult to see, I think you can make out the paper piercing I did around the edge of the image on the red card stock.  The big red bow and pop dots give this lots of dimension, and I found some red metal heart stickers in my stash of goodies to dress up one side of this card.  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored with Copics.  Is she cute, or what?  No sentiment needed here, because those little froggy arms wrapped around that conversation heart pretty much says it all. 

This postage stamp die is so versatile, and makes a wonderful addition to a card, scrapbook page, or altered item.  I'm thinking that images for many holidays would be perfect with this die.  Hmmmmm...  What do YOU think?  Have a blessed day, and a very safe and Happy New Year's celebration!!!!

Love ya,
