Rugged Baby Boy Clothes - CottageCutz

Happy Thursday!

Today I have a cute little boy card for you using the Rugged Baby Boy Clothes CottageCutz Die from The Scrapping Cottage!

I cut the jeans part of the die using a dark blue card stock and used a bright green plaid designer paper for the shirts.  I also cute the pocket and belt of the jeans with the green plaid, trimmed them and glued them to the jeans.  I love these two colors together against the white.  It's so cheery looking and cute for a boy!

The card base is the same dark blue as the jeans with a bright green mat and then a white mat that I embossed and stamped with a sentiment.  I embellished the card with some blue ribbon, baby rick rack, jute twine and heart buttons all in matching colors.

This is the CottageCutz Die I used:

Welcome Baby - CottageCutz

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a “Welcome Baby” card for you using 2 new CottageCutz Dies from The Scrapping Cottage, Baby Lion and Baby Giraffe.

Aren't these little guys cute?  Here's a little close up of them.

I used various scraps of yellow, tan, gold and cream card stock to cut these and inked the edges with Creamy Cocoa Chalk Ink (PowderPuffs - Quick Quotes).  The eyes were colored with a black marker and dotted with a white gel pen.

To make my card, I started with a white card base.  I cut a yellow mat and stamped the sentiment on the bottom right corner, cut a smaller mat to fit the top using a plaid designer paper that I embossed with an embossing folder, then glued the mats together.  The baby animals were added using glue and pop dots under their heads.  I wrapped some trim across the mats and added it to the card base with pop dots.  I finished this off with adhesive pearls and a bow with a button.

These are the dies I used:

Card recipe:

Stamps: Short & Sweet (SU)

Elphine House Australia Color Challenge

Hi there!

It's time for another challenge at Elphine House Australia!  This time it's a color challenge using Easter or pastels colors.  You can use any Elisabeth Bell image for your creation, not just Elphine House Australia.  The winner will be chosen by random.org and will receive 2 stamps of their choice!

Here is my take on the challenge:

I decide to use one of EHA's new stamps called "It's a Boy".  Isn't this adorable, cute little man with a cute little one?  I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.  I had some fun with my stylus this time to create a little texture before I applied the pencil color.  I did lines on his hair and pants, argyle on his sweater, and dots on his tie.  I've had these designer papers from K & Co. for a long time, about time I used them!

For ingredients used:

Stamps: It's a Boy (EHA), Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU)
Paper: Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy Designer Paper (K&Co.), blue (DCWV Cardstock Pack), yellow & orange (Bazzill's Earthtones Mat Stack), white (Georgia Pacific)
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine), Banana Bliss (Powder Puffs)
Accessories: Brads, star & wood buttons, ribbons (Michaels), Labels Eight Nestibilities (Spellbinders), square punch (SU), pearl cotton thread (DMC), stylus, Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits, Bow-Easy


Hope to see you join in on the challenge this next 2 weeks!

Blessings!
