Happy Birthday!!

I'm going to go with another year wiser instead of older ~ isn't that what we do??? Or maybe another year at inspiring you with QuicKutz!!

Check out this card I received from a talented friend who is in the QuicKutz Club. Terry took last month's exclusive 2x2 door hanger die, Tangerine Alphabet (older font) and Goosebumpz folder to make this awesome card which perfectly shows how die-cuts and stamps can mix beautifully. Thanks Terry!!

No February QuicKutz die Release

Yes it's true, no release this month, but QuicKutz Club members still get their kits and an exclusive die!! I think you club members will be thrilled with the one I was able to pull out of QuicKutz!! Here are some samples using the die:

(bookmark made with Cookie Cutter door hanger die, 4x4 Chicken Noodle font and Build An Apple exclusive die)

Layout Idea with past dies......

We got in new papers from Best Creations Inc. and they are super cute!! I picked out papers from the "Transportation" line, dug up some older photos and used a couple of dies.
(dies used: 4x8 Dragonfly Alphabet and Clouds border die)

New Papers inspire me!

We just got in this super cute Three Bugs in a Rug paper and I had to make a layout! (used: Grand Katie Limited Edition Font and Teriyaki Alphabet)

With these papers you can use so many of QuicKutz dies ~ I just stuck with fonts this time!!

What's for Dinner???

Famous words from Family Members ~ "What's for Dinner?" I decided to re-create this menu idea from QuicKutz to display in my kitchen, thought it was a cute idea! Now since my son is learning to read, him and the neighbor boy can just read what we are having for dinner, then scheme amongst themselves to who's house they shall be dining at.

(used: Days of the Week border die, Breakfast Cookie Cutter die set and 4x8 Garden Alphabet)

New Papers

We just received in store the New Imaginisce "Scooter's Vacation" & "Lucy Bird" collections. I thought the "Scooter's Vacation" paper line was a perfect match for the QuicKutz Travel dies. Check out this layout I did:

(dies used: 4x4 Road Signs, 2x2 Road Sign and 4x8 License Plate Alphabet)

January Club Die Ideas

Finally the Club Die for January arrived in store!! Yes Club Members your kits for January are now complete and ready for you to pick up at Paper Cottage. We are lucky to get this die at all as it's now completely sold out!! As promised for you Club Members, here are a couple of samples I did using this Club Die - 2x2 door hanger. I will also include the sheet in February's kit for your reference. Enjoy and have fun with your die!!

Valentine Idea using "air freshener" die

I had to re-create this idea that I saw on the QuicKutz Blog ~ I thought it was "stinkin" cute!! Any of you out there that have teenage kids, what a great Valentine to give to their Friends!!
