Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted but our family have been busy little beavers and I'm sure you're in the same boat! Today it's my turn to post for CottageCutz and I'm featuring a card that will really wow your recipients! It's called the Twist Pop-Up card and it's an eye catcher.
This card features six dies highlighting all things baby. I've geared it for a girl but of course, you can always change the colors to be gender neutral or boyish. This card has a surprise when you open it. Describing it isn't adequate so please go to the link below for the video showing how I decorated this fun card base. You'll find the mat measurements in the video's description.
I've posted another video that shows in detail how to make the card base itself. For those of you who don't have a lot of supplies, I hope you'll check out the card base construction because all you need are scissors, ruler, card stock, glue and some stickers to decorate it. I'm confident you will be able to make this card after you watch it but I will answer any questions you leave for me there to help you if you get stuck.
Thanks for joining me on this beautiful Sunday morning. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! - Janet
Happy Hump Day everyone! It's my turn to post a project using CottageCutz dies. Today I'm celebrating baby using one of the new dies from the CottageCutz baby release! This little fella is such a cutie and is a perfect way to congratulate someone special who has welcomed a new little monkey of their own. I invite you to visit the video which shows you how I made this card in detail. Also included in the video description are the dimensions for all the pieces I used in this project and links to the products (Disclaimer - I don't earn commissions on CottageCutz die sales).
I used several techniques on this monkey to maximize his cuteness. First I shaded him using brown and black chalks before putting him together. I raised up his paws with foam tape and rounded his tummy before placing a strip of foam tape down his middle to help retain the baby tummy roundness. He demanded some googly eyes and I happily complied! Then his mouth was traced with a black fine-lined marker so his personality could really shine. I also rounded the balloons and attached them with foam tape to the strings. The balloons are part of this monkey set and I know I'll use them for many other projects. It's always nice when a die can be versatile.
Hope you enjoyed this little guy. I'll be posting again for CottageCutz on April 30th but I'm going to try to post a project this weekend. It all depends on how much spring yard work I get done! Take care and see you soon!
Happy Saturday Crafty Friends! Today I'm posting a project I had a lot of fun with. It features the Sizzix Happy Birthday Cupcake die and stamp set. I really enjoy having stamps to go with dies because they add so much detail. I am not much of an artist when it comes to drawing so the stamps are a welcome help for me. To see how this card was made and view more close-up photos of this card, please watch the video by clicking below:
As a head's up, I won't be posting next Saturday as I am enjoying spring break with my family. I will be posting next on Wednesday, April 19th and I'll be showing you some more adorable CottageCutz dies. A baby release is coming soon and I can't wait to show you what I've been making with them!
