What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a project for my design team post.  I created this card which would be perfect for Mother's Day next month.
This sweet card was inspired by the Recollections Coastal Village papers I found in my stash.  I adore the lemon and lime patterns. The strip of lemons is from the same collection and was trimmed from a page of multiple patterned strips.  I also incorporated a tiny polka dot pattern from my scrap pile.
I cut out the apron, chef hat, rolling pin and heart with the Cottage Cutz Kitchen Chef die set and also cut out the oval with the Pierced Oval set.  All of the die cuts were heavily inked on the edges for added depth and dimension on my die cuts.
I wanted to break up the varying patterns on my card so I punched a strip of white card stock with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Punch.  The lace border was also inked on the edges.
I began building my card base with a sunny yellow background and layered it with the polka dotted paper. The lace border and strip of lemons were adhered on top.
Next, I began creating the focal point of my card by adding the whimsical apron to the oval background. The chef hat and rolling pin were adhered next to the apron.  Once I added the tiny heart to the rolling pin, I cut out a couple of extra hearts as embellishments.
The finished oval was adhered to the card base leaving plenty of room at the bottom for a sentiment.
This happy card was finished off with a fun sentiment from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Designer's Choice 2 stamp set.  I thought the phrase was so cute and perfect for my card.
I used these dies for my card, available here:

Jars of jam

Hi, Janja here!

Nothing can be compared to homemade jams. In the month of May, when the first strawberries are mature, I begin to prepare our jams.
I like how my home smells when I cook fruit. I like the taste and beautiful colors.


I used cute stitched jars on today's first card and filled them with strawberry jam.


Supplies:
- Cottagecutz dies: Stitched Jars, Kitchen Chef (Chef hat), Stitched Sewing Notions (hand made label), Springtime Strawberries, Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set, Oval Set, Stitched Wide Oval Frame Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm, folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white cardstock
- Memento inks: Lady Bug, Rhubarb Stalk, Dandelion, Peart Tart, Bamboo Leaves
- white pen
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads

Cut out all pieces, and color them with ink pads. I used the stamp for sentiment. For oval cutouts use the largest dies from the three basic oval sets.
When we have everything ready, we begin with gluing.




A card with a glass of homemade jam can also be a nice gift. 


Nothing is better than one afternoon in a company of good friends and a cup of coffee. 


Supplies:
- white card base: 4.25 x 53.5" (10,7 x 13,9 cm, folded
- kraft cardstock: 3.74 x 5" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- watercolor paper 
- Distress refill Brushed Courduroy
- Distress inks: Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss
- watercolor brush

Cut out a rectangle from watercolor paper, and add drops with a brush on it. It does not matter if a few drops are spilled. This is the purpose of this background. 
In the middle we add some nice phrase about coffee and friends. 
Cut out the tray and cups and color them.




Completed card.


I would like to remind you that the new "Llamas & Botanical" release is available for 25% less. 

Thank you for coming over. Have a nice day.

Decorated Recipe Cards

Hi, Lois here today with something a little different.  CottageCutz has a fun series of breakfast item dies called Rise and Shine.   Instead of making a card using some of these die-cuts, I have created some decorated recipe cards.



Some time ago I bought a little kit for making a personalized recipe box.  Unfortunately, I never did anything with the kit; and it was still sitting in one of my craft cabinets.  When I saw the Rise and Shine dies, I thought I might be able to use them with part of the kit.  I pulled out three of the blank recipe cards and started there.


Looking through my recipes, I decided which ones could be used for this project.  I narrowed the choices down to Pumpkin Bread, Raised Donuts, and a Chocolate Cake.  I wrote the instructions out on the cards.


I then cut out the images from three of the Rise and Shine dies -- Homemade Bread, Coffee and Donuts, and Kitchen Chef.


Using various Copic markers, I colored the die-cuts and constructed the pieces.  I added a bit of clear glaze to the chocolate icing on the donuts.


All that was left was to adhere the various die-cut images onto the recipe cards.  


This was a really fun project.  At some point I may finish it!

CottageCutz dies used for these cards are:

Rise & Shine Card Samples - Part 2

 
Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. I have some exciting news to share. There is a brand new release of dies. It's our Rise & Shine release and the designs are currently on sale for a limited time at 25% off the retail price.

So many cute breakfast and made with love themed dies. The design team has put together some cute samples to give you some ideas on how to use these dies. We showed some samples last Tuesday- click here to see those.

So let's get started with the samples for today.

Card 1: This first sample is a card from Janja Albreht. She used the Skillet w/Eggs & Breakfast Plate dies to create a beautiful invitation to brunch. The food looks delicious - anyone want to hop on a plane to Slovenia and surprise her for brunch?
Card 2: Our next sample is a card from Lois Bak. She used the pastry goodies & made with love phrase dies and created a cute cherry pie card. ,How perfect would this be for when you do some special baking for gift giving.
Card 3: Our next sample is a card from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Rise & Shine Phrase die and stenciled a beautiful sunrise background to compliment the images. This card could be used for a variety of occasions such as birthday, thinking of you and even an encouragement card.
Card 4: Our next sample is a card from Pam MacKay. She used the Kitchen Chef dies to create a really cute card. This one could be used for a homemade goodie gift. Or by simply changing the sentiment as a Mothers Day card or a way to congratulate someone who is taking their first cooking class, or a thinking of you for someone who loves to cook. Lots of options with this die.

That's the samples for this week. I will have another set to show on Tuesday, March 27th. Hope these samples have sparked some ideas in ways you could use these dies. They are currently 25% off for a limited time in the online store.
