Cottage Life

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a fabulous day! How’s the weather where you are? The heat is ramping up here but not too badly yet… it’s in the mid 80s and that’s definitely do-able! I’m thrilled to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you that I created with our new Cheerful Cottage collection. This is a book cradle fold and it’s only the second one I’ve made – it has a unique structure and sure packs a punch! I saw it originally on the Mixed Up Craft YouTube Channel and thought it was a fun one.

I cut the card base pieces from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss Green cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Cheerful Cottage 6×9 Collection Pack. I assembled the card and added several images and a sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, popping the middle cottage up on thin foam squares.

I cut the back panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with an additional image and sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces. BOOM – card finished!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
