Thank You

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here and I am sharing with you one of the new release CottageCutz for April.  How do you like all the new "Flourish N Flowers" released this month.  You can see the whole release here. The design team have shared some awesome projects.  I'm sharing another clean and simple card.


Closer look at the card.


Here is how I put my card together:

I used the Stick It by Ken Oliver to put on the back of my paper that I am going to die cut.  This paper is great to use with intricate dies so that you will have adhesive on the back of your die.  I like using this, because when I use glue it can be messy.  I cut the pieces to the size I want and take the film off of one side of the adhesive.  I then die cut my die and then it is already to adhere to my card.


I sponged the ink onto my cut pieces to make my background.


Here are my pieces already for me to die cut my CottageCutz dies. I also used some gold shimmer spritz onto the sponged background and the card base to give it some dimension.  After I cut my dies, I adhered them to the Stitched Rounded Rectange die piece and adhered this to my card base and added some sequins.


I told you it was clean and simple.  Don't forget to join the CottageCutz challenge...click here for all the details.  Please come back and see us again soon!

I'm Ready for Fall!


I'm so glad the seasons change. I can't imagine it being hot or cold all year round. I am so ready for fall and here in Utah the only signs of fall is the kids are back in school. We've had plenty of hot temps here but that doesn't stop me from starting my fall cards.
Today I used the tree from MLS Summertime Fun die. I grabbed some fall paper from my stash and some matching cardstock for my trees and went to town. I also used the Raking the Leaves die from last years release and cut out 2 of the small leaves to add by the sentiment.



The twine I used was brown and white. The white stood out too much against my cream background so I took some Antique Linen distress ink and inked the twine a bit to subdue the white.


We love to hear comments from our followers so leave us a note and let us know what you like. Have a great week!

It's A Wonderful Life!



Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,

we must carry it with us, or we find it not.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I made this fun little book as a gift for my children. I want them

to know how precious they are and how much they are loved!

I LOVE ink!! I was excited to use many different colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink to highlight the edges and create an

overall "Distressed" look for this book. The Scrapping Cottage

has an incredible collection of this famous ink! It is my

favorite ink of all time...I think I have one of each color! :O)

I delicately sprinkled a few QuicKutz dies throughout, as well.

See if you can spot them! Almost all of the die I used are

on sale at The Scrapping Cottage for $2.95!! Yes, $2.95!!


That is the best deal on the planet!!

QuicKutz Oval Clip, Tab Die Set, Tags (1 retired but available and

one that is $2.95!), daisies and many more to suit your fancy!

Life is Wonderful!






Have a beautiful day!
