hello die cut card

The Spring Occasions 2015 catalog is coming January 6th and there are some really pretty and versatile surprises inside!

There is a set of word dies that I have been anxiously waiting for – the words are happy, hello, you, and thanks in a fun curvy script font.

Everything on the card is new except for the doily. I cut several of the hello words and glued them together for dimension, you can see in the side view:

In the past I have used wax paper between the die and the paper but I didn’t need it with this new die. The paper cut easily and popped right out of the die. I can’t wait to play with the other words – soon!

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new blog! I was having difficulty with the old one and decided to start fresh. Just a tiny change in the name – I went from the artsy cottage to one artsy cottage. After all, there are so many artsy cottages!

My header image is from spring and even though it’s now fall I think I am going to keep it for a while. It’s bright and cheery and the days are getting shorter and grayer so a bit of bright pink will be fun.

I started an about me page and it’s really short right now mostly just letting you know that I plan to share cards, scrapbook pages, and mini books. I hope you like what you see and are inspired!
