Happy Birthday Vintage Card

Hey crafty friends,
So glad you stopped in today! 

It's new release time!!! We have our annual Black Friday release available now in the online store. There are 19 different designs, and they can be used for all seasons. The dies are broken into 2 different bundles with bundle pricing under $78. Bundle pricing is only available through Friday, December 1. Or you can pick up the individual dies for 30% off.

I am sharing yet another easy and fun card with dies from the new Cottage Cutz Black Friday release. Here is what I am sharing today!
I created a top folding A4 card. I started with a white cardstock base. 

I used some pretty shabby chic patterned paper. I inked the edges of the paper with some black ink to give it a vintage look.


I added the mat to a smaller wacky stitched rectangle. I also did the same with a larger mat for an extra layer.

I used some wildflowers from the Wildflowers die. I cut some in white and some in black. The white ones I colored with my marker and then added some stickles to them. I deccided to put a bow in the center of the spray.
Here is one last look at my finished card. I love the contrast of the white mats to the shabby chic/vintagey looking papers.











Here are the Black Friday Bundles

Black Friday Vintage Mailbox New Release

Hello crafty friends!
Today I am sharing a card I created with the new dies released for Black Friday by Cottage Cutz. Here is what I created.

I created a top folding A4 card. I used some black cardstock for the base. I then used some pretty shabby papers for the mats.

I used some black ink to ink the edges of the mats to give them a consistent edge.

I used some black, white and patterned papers to cut out the pretty new vintage mailbox die. It is part of one of two special bundles for Black Friday. I used my gold pen to add some gold to the various cuts in the die. I wanted the word Post along with that pretty dove and the leaves to stand out. I did also dot around the black base with my gold stickles. I did also add some stickles to the centers of the flowers.


Here is one last look at my finished card. I did add the sentiment Hello from the new Hello Sunshine sentiment die from one of the new dies. I love how this turned out. I love the look of vintage, shabby chic but don't do it very often.

Easy DIY Placecards For Thanksgiving

Happy Tuesday crafty friends,
I hope your day is going well. Today I am sharing some super cute, fun and easy place cards for our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner table. Here's what I have.



I started by cutting out all my pieces in white so that I could color them in. I used most of the cute little critters from the Autumn Friends Die.

I knew I would need a total of 6 place cards so I cut them out in quantities and then colored the pieces in quantities. 

I then cut out my mats and the base. The base pieces are 4.25 x 4. I fold and scored them along the 4" side to make the finished "tent" a 4.25 x 2 size.

Here is a closer look at the "Dad" one. I used the cute little bear, tree trunk, pumpkin and acorn from the  Autumn Frinds die set. I also used the Wagon Wheel and then the Double stitched mat and the funky stitched mat. I then hand wrote the names.

Here is a closer look at the Grandpa place card.

Here is a closer look at Jason.


Here is one last look at all the cards again. I think they turned out super cute! I may have a few more to make if some additional guest come.

Watercolored Fall Tree



Happy Fall Y'all 😊


Kris here sharing some Friday inspiration with you!   My card today features the Fall Tree from the new New Fall Release!  All the individual dies from this release are still 30% OFF for a limited time and there are 15 beautiful Fall designs!

I joined Mary & Pam in the Color Challenge CC971 at SplitcoastStampers this week which is...

Pretty Peacock
Crushed Curry
Cajun Craze
The dessert option is TEXTURE.


(All dies I used are linked at the end of this post)

DESIGN STEPS:

I started with an A2 top folding card and since I was out of the Curry c.s., I used Daffodil Delight and ink blended some wild honey Distress Oxide ink to get the deeper curry color. 


For the background of my focal image I wanted to incorporate some texture so I used some thick watercolor paper and die cut the Leafy Background Slimline die and mounted it on a piece of 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" watercolor paper.  


I then turned it over and cut off the excess.


I adhered this to the middle of my card front.


Next, I die cut the Fall Tree and leaves from the Autumn Ladder from watercolor cardstock.

(I also die cut the wheelbarrow thinking I'd put it at the bottom of my card with leaves in it, but it ended up being pretty large compared to my tree, so I eliminated it.)

I die cut a piece of Mossy Meadow c.s. with one of the Hills Slimline dies and another piece I die cut with one of the Grass Slimline dies. I cut both to 3-1/4" wide and mounted the hill on top of the grass blades and adhered to card front.


I watercolored the tree and leaves with Crackling Campfire, Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks and set aside to dry.

Next, I created a frame from the Pretty Peacock c.s. by layering the 2nd largest Wacky Stitched Rectangle Die inside the largest Scalloped Rectangle Die and die cutting it.


I added foam strips to back of frame and adhered to card front.



I adhered my tree and leaves onto card front.

For my sentiment, I used this pretty teal watercolor Deco Foil to foil my sentiment onto the Cajun Craze cardstock.  To do this, I printed my sentiment on the Cajun c.s. using a laser printer, then added my foil on top and ran it thru my Minc (like a laminator, but made for foiling).


Here are the results up close:  
I love how it incorporated the peacock, yellow and green ☺


and done!
