Product Spotlight: The Scrapping Cottage

Hello MLS fans! It's our last Product Spotlight day with The Scrapping Cottage and last week we had fun featuring some of their designer's work here on the blog. Today we are showing the last of our designer's creations with these fun dies.

First is Norine with a beautiful card using the 3D flower from the Pink Peony die

Patti used the clouds in the Summertime fun die to create this card. I love how she inked them too.

And so did Pearl for her card. Pearl added some depth to her clouds by embossing.

And finally a Trick or Treat collection card by me. I used the ornate circle frame to show how versatile it can be.

We hope you'll find these dies are a fun addition to your My Little Shoebox collections.

Product Spotlight: The Scrapping Cottage

Hello MLS fans! It's Thursday and we are pleased to be spotlighting The Scrapping Cottage all month long. We are so pleased to have partnered with The Scrapping Cottage to bring you high quality dies to coordinate with our My Little Shoebox collections.

Today we're featuring work with the co-branded dies from The Scrapping Cottage design team. Let's start with our very own

Pearl Liu

Pearl's tip: On of my favorite techniques using Cottage Cutz MLSB designed dies is to diecut with patterned paper - and this card is one such example . I used the following Cottage Cutz MLSB dies - leaves from the Ornate Circle frame ,  Orchid Flower; the oval frame from the Cameo and Oval Frame die set.  Finally , I added a little feathery boa to the flower set for a fun, wispy touch.

Lorie Souther

Lorie's tip:  My tip or technique would be using white card stock and coloring the die cuts with Copic markers, rather than using the colored card stock. 

Gini Williams Cagle

Gini's tip: try creating cards like a is a Z-fold card., this is a really easy folded card to make (especially if you are using your Scor-pal.

Janice Wilson 

Janice's notes: I cut all the die cuts with white cardstock and then colored with my copics, with the exception of the scissors.  I used a Creative Memories silver pen to color the scissor blades.

Lori Leng

Lori's tip: Don't be afraid to think outside of the box when creating with dies. For a complete look at this beautiful box visit Lori's post here.

Cheryl Walker

Cheryl's tip: have fun by making your own embellishments. Check out this post to see a video I made when I created this card.
