Cottage Cutz... A little Behind!

Happy Sunday to you!!  Boy, does my blog title say it all today!!  I've had a plan for this card ever since I saw the cute Bunny Front and Back  Cottage Cutz dies from The Scrapping Cottage.  The thought for this card immediately came into my head, and I got right to work!  Well, the best laid plans often go awry (as the quote goes), and that's exactly what happened to me!!  I finished my card, even saved all of the markers I'd used into a basket for photographing, and all I needed to do was computer generate the "We're A Little Behind" sentiment.  THAT is as far as I got!  I got busy and completely forgot to print the sentiment and post my card!!  SO, I'm late today and I do so apologize for that!  With ALL that being said, here is my card for you, and I hope it was worth the wait.  It sure makes me laugh when I see these bunny behinds, and I hope it gives you a chuckle, too!
All of the card stock and paper for this card came from my scrap bin.  I added some pleated satin ribbon and chocolate colored pearls for embellishment, and kept it at that, because I want these bunny behinds to shine!!  They are, afterall the main attraction, and what cute little behinds they are!!

(Click on the Picture to see a bigger photo.)
This basket contains every marker that I used to color these bunnies, and yes, I  DID use each and every color, AND you can add C1,C3, and C5 to that mix, because I took those out to work on something else, and they didn't make it back to the basket. 

So glad you could visit us today here on The Scrapping Cottage Blog.  Make it a great day... EVEN if you're a little... BEHIND!!!!

CottageCutz Treat Bag



If you are need a cute treat bag to make, I've got one to share with you. When I saw the CottageCutz / Peachy Keen Shower Peepers die from The Scrapping Cottage, I knew what I wanted to make. I always think that shading my die cuts with distress ink adds so much more life to them - but on this little chick, I was having a hard time getting too much ink, so I added it a little different. I used my water pen, and picked up a little Scattered Straw ink for her body, and just a touch of Worn Lipstick for her cheeks. This gave me much more control, and a very light touch of ink. The face is so cute - it's a Peachy Keen stamp that comes with the set (actually you get three different faces so your little peeper can have different expressions).

If you want to make the gift bag, here's how:


The acrylic bubble that I used on the front of the bag is a Flower-Soft Display Globe, but you could also just use a flat piece of acrylic, and cut your opening to any size and shape that you would like.


Cut another strip of paper, 1" x 12" and attach to the sides for a handle. Use dimensional tape to attach your die cut.

Scrapping Cottage Dies: Shower Peepers
Patterned Papers, Buttons: American Crafts Garden Cafe
