Branch, Bird and Heart


Hi, is Vladka and today is time for CAS card.


Basics:
White card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock (3 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches)
Additional piece of white watercolor paper

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distres markers: Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, Peeled Paint, Brushed Corduroy, Gathered Twigs
Other: paint brush, water, acrylic block, paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, scissors


Let's prepare background first.

1. Apply some Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon ink directly to the acrylic block. Use thick brush and apply just water on the left middle part of the watercolor piece of paper. Now apply also some Tumbled Glass with the brush on the same place as water. Repeat this also with Mermaid Lagoon ink.
Let it dry or speed the dry process with a heat gun. Background is prepared.


2. With Tree Tag Topper die, cut the tree out from white or kraft cardstock and with the scissors cut off the circle around the tree:


3. Color the Leaves and branches with Peeled Paint, Brushed Corduroy and Gathered Twigs distress inks. Use post-it notes to mask branches when coloring the leaves and the opposite.


4. Now turn the die cut so, that you get branch instead of the tree and glue it on the watercolor paper. With the biggest stitched rectangle die cut the rectangle out of whatercolor paper with a branch.


5. With Whimsical Deer and Bird die cut the bird out with white cardstock and colored his beak yellow. Glue it on the branch.

6. Cut the smallest heart from red cardstock, using die from Heart Set and glue it on the card. With the ruler draw a line from the bird to the heart.

7. Stamp desired sentiment  and card is finished.

I hope you like my card and that will inspire you to try this. You can use watercolor paint set instead of distress inks, if you wish.


Have fun and thank you!

Winter Wedding Card

Hi, all! Vladka is here!
For today's card I've combined some older dies and created wedding card. Actually is more winter wedding card, but people get married also in winter, right?
So, I cut out Birch Trees and I didn't use the whole die cut but just two trunks and put two little birds on it (one is taken from Birdhouse die and another one from Whimsical Deer and Bird die). But before I glued everything together, I used white watercolor tube mixture with water and splashed some of it on the left side of the kraft cardstock. And of course wedding card needs at least one heart, so I put one in birds beaks. For finishing touch I cut out Just married Expression twice - once from kraft and once from white card stock and put white one slightly more right than kraft one. For card base I used white cardstock.
I hope you like it! I wish you all great time.

CottageCutz Focus Week - Gift Card Holder

Hi, all.  Vladka here today! 
I'm starting another Focus Week on CottageCutz blog, this time with Gift Card Holder. Gift Cards are really popular and I hope that our Focus Week will give you some ideas how to wrap them. 
I created one big pocket (one side has approximately 5 inches) and I put piece of cardstock in it. This piece holds little envelope which is actually a gift card holder - card perfectly fits in it. I used following dies: Whimsical Deer and BirdChristmas GreetingsWinter Trees for greeneryFancy Bow and Gift Card Holder. Also this time everything is distressed with Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and little white color was added with white tube watercolor. All die cuts were also colored with Distress Inks.
And this is not all my friends. 
Also this time we will be giving away a gift certificate
All you have to do is, to comment on each post for this week on CottageCutz blog (between 8th and 15th of December) and one lucky winner will get the gift certificate. 
So, good luck!
