Easter Wishes Card

Hello!  Today I'm sharing another card for my guest designer post over on the Scrapping Cottage blog. I used a combination of dies from the Spring release for this project.  These dies are currently on sale too! It's been a very, rainy few weeks here in Northern California which makes me eager for Spring.

I reached for sunny yellow and aqua inks for my die cuts.  I also incorporated some pinks, purples and greens which all remind me of Spring. The little bunnies in the collection are absolutely adorable.  I combined the Hatching Bunny, Peeking Egg Bunny, Spring Bunny w/Cart and the Bunny Kisses and Easter Wishes die sets for my card.

I created a polaroid type frame with the Stitched Square Set. A larger square was cut with my paper trimmer and inked.  The blue square was adhered inside of the frame and layered on the card base.

The bed of grass was adhered from one side of the frame to the other and the bunny eggs were tucked into the corners.  I slightly trimmed the bunny ear for a better fit on my card.

The bunny and cart were popped up on foam dots for added dimension.  A few flowers were tucked amongst the bed of grass and also popped up.

The "Easter Wishes" sentiment was stretched across the top of my card.  The whimsical color combination plays off the Spring color theme.

Here are the dies used on my card, available here:

Merry Christmas Card and Treats

Hello!  I'm sharing a fun project idea over on the Scrapping Cottage blog as their guest designer.  I used the Cottage Cutz Christmas Tag Topper set for my card and treats. This set is so versatile and can be used for so many different projects.

I found the papers in my stash from the DCWV Winter mat stack, the papers are a lighter card stock which works best for wrapping the Hershey's Nuggets.  I trimmed the wrappers to 1"x3" which is the perfect size for the chocolate.  I used Glue Dots Temporary Adhesive tape to adhere the wrappers to the Nuggets.

The tray for the Nuggets was cut at 2"x4" in a heavier card stock.  I scored the sides at 1/4" to create the tray.

The tag toppers were die cut to coordinate with the Hershey's Nuggets.  I used a pen to detail the snowmen faces and buttons.

Once I wrapped all of the Nuggets, they were secured to the trays with a removable Glue Dot, this helps to keep them from shifting in the clear bags.  I cut out the rectangles from the Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle set and folded it in half to create the bag topper.  The base of my card was inked on the edges and splattered with some blue paint for a bit of detail.

I adhered the banners to the card based and used some Totally Blue Trendy Twine to accent the top of  my card.  

Here are the dies used on my project available over in the shop:

Baked with Love Layout

Hello!  Today I'm back over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my guest designer post.  When I saw the adorable Measuring Cup Snowman die, I was immediately inspired to create a layout page to memorialize our holiday goodie baking event.

I found the perfect papers in my stash with the oven mitt background. The rich colors are so beautiful.  I cut out a few of the measuring cups and an additional snowman for extra embellishments on my page.  All of the die cuts were inked on the edges for a bit of dimension.

The Stitched Circle Set was used for the different sized die cut circles.  The hearts are from the Stitched Heart Set.

I tucked in a journaling tag behind the photo mat accented with a die cut heart.  The sweet snowman was placed on the die cut circle and adhered next to the tag with some Glue Dots Adhesive Tape.  A bit of Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine was the perfect accent on my photo mat and tag.

A line of measuring cups hanging along the edge of the paper provides a fun element on my layout.  The hearts were adhered to the measuring cups with some Memory Book Glue Dots.

The whimsical title was placed on the double die cut circle so it would pop on my page.  I simply added the the measuring cup snowman next to the title for a cohesive look.

I placed the title on my layout page and tucked in heat embossed sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) "Filled with Love" stamp set.  A few enamel dots and die cut heart were the finishing accents on my layout page.

Here are the the dies I used to create my layout page available over at Cottage Cutz:

Fall Pumpkins

Hello, today I'm sharing a card for my guest designer post over at the Scrapping Cottage blog.  I adore Cottage Cutz dies and the Autumn release is one of my favorites with so many inspiring products!

I found the perfect fall themed papers in my stash from the Recollections Harvest Delight 6x6 paper pack. I wanted to break up the background pattern so I cut a couple of strips of paper from the same paper pack in the solid colors. All of the pieces were adhered with Glue Dots Adhesive Gluetape to the kraft card base.

Next I cut out the pumpkins and leaves from colored card stock using the Pumpkins & Vines dies. The pumpkins were inked on the edges for added dimension.  I cut out the oval using the Stitched Oval Set and also inked it on the edges.  The whimsical "fall" sentiment is from the Fall Phrases die set.

I adhered the oval to the base of my card which is a standard A2 size card (4.25 x5.5) and layered it with the set of pumpkins.  The pumpkins were overlapped a bit so they would fit perfectly on my card.

To finish off my card, the leaves were anchored around the pumpkins along with the sentiment.  The rustic look of this card is definitely the look I was trying to achieve.

The dies I used for my card are available over at Cottage Cutz:

Halloween Treat Box

Hello!  Today I have a fun Halloween project to share.  I created this treat box with the Art-C Gable Box die & stamp set.  The papers are from the Momenta "All Through the Year" paper pad.  I fussy cut the Halloween scene from the same paper pad and adhered it to the treat box.  The whimsical pumpkin is way too cute.

I used the some Glue Dots Permanent Adhesive Tape to hold the treat box together.  A Glue Dot was used to attach the Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine bow.

Tags

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a set of tags which were created with the Art-C Ephemera Collage kits. I used 3 different kits for each of the tags: Friendship, Word Play and About Us.  I love all of the fun tags, punch outs and embellishments in the kits.

I cut out the kraft tags using the Art-C Love, Hello, Thanks Die & Stamp Combo.  I punched out the circle reinforcements for 2 of the tags using the We R Memory Keepers Hole Reinforcer Punch.  The 3rd reinforcement is from the coordinating kit.

I used some Glue Dots Pop Up Adhesives to give the tags some dimension.  Some pearl accents and a bit of jute finished off my tags.

Blessed Card Set

Hello!  Today I have a fall themed project to share created with the Momenta Cut and Emboss Leaves dies.  I used several different Oxide Inks and combined the colors on a sheet of paper, then I used the dies to cut out the leaves.  More ink was used on the edges of the leaves for added dimension.

The "blessed" sentiment is from the Momenta Hope Word Fetti Cutting Template Die set.  I used some Permanent Glue Dots to place the leaves in a circle around the sentiment.

The coordinating tag was die cut from the Art-C Love, Hello, Thanks Die & Stamp Combo set.  Some jute twine was added to the tag and card.

I'm Stuck On You

Hello!  Today I have a fun project to share created with the Momenta Build a Cactus stamp set.  This versatile stamp set was used for the cacti plant and also the background of my card.  I popped up the plant on some Glue Dots Pop Up Adhesives for added dimension.

I added a chevron patterned paper strip on top of the stamped background to break up the pattern. The sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps.

Celebrate Card

Hello!  Today I have a patriotic card to share which is also perfect for a summer birthday card.  I used the Art-C Mason Jar Die & Stamp Combo and heat embossed the mason jar on vellum.  Next, I die cut the mason jar in the embossed vellum and another layer in white card stock.  A few of the stars were adhered between the vellum and card stock layers using Mini Glue Dots.

The stars were die cut from the Momenta Happy Birthday Cut and Emboss set and adhered on the mason jar and on the base of my card.  I added some sequins for a sparkly accent and a bit of Cranberry Trendy Twine. The finishing touch was the sentiment which was die cut from the Momenta Hello Word Fetti die set.

Grad Card

Happy Monday!  It seems as if one of my kids has been graduating every year and this year it's my son's turn to graduate from community college.  To celebrate his special day I created a fun card for him.

I gathered my supplies for my project and decided to create a tea length card to accommodate the oversized letters.

All of the dies used on my card are from Momenta.  I used the Alphabet Uppercase Serif dies for the large letters which were cut twice and layered.  I used the Glue Dots Stitch Glue Squares between the layers to easily adhere them together.  The Stitch Glue Squares were also used to adhere the letters to the card.  I used the Glue Dots Adhesive Gluetape to adhere the patterned paper to the base of my card.

The congrats die cut is from the Momenta Hello Word Fetti dies and the stars are from the Momenta Happy Birthday Cut and Emboss set.  I used some Twisted Lime Trendy Twine to create a tassel and a small brad to turn a basic square into a graduation cap.
