Seashell Lighthouse

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today: 

Well Tutti Fans this is my LAST design and post for Tutti Designs

as I have decided to step down.  My husband is fully retired now
and we will be spending our summers at our lake house
not giving me a lot of time to craft.

I have been with Tutti Designs since the 'get go' and have had a lot of fun
using all the wonderful dies, but it's time to let someone else have the
privilege of  working for them!

I want to thank all for having me as part of this amazing die company!

For my last post I have the Seashell Lighthouse, so unique, so different.

Edited to Add:
After I wrote this post we (the Tutti Design Team)
were all notified that the Tutti team is all being
let go, not sure what this means for Tutti Designs
but this might be the last post you see on the blog...SAD!

I did a clean and layered card.
I die cut it from red and mounted it on a Stitched Nesting Banner.

I did the same with the sentiment but this time using the
Cross Stitch Nesting Banner ( only because I pulled the wrong one out)
but hey, it showcases both, right?

Hello Tutti Fans, today I am using a very pretty and very useful

die for all your slimline cards and it is the

in each corner, cut once from green card stock and then
just the tulip parts in red and paper pieced them on/
What a perfect Spring card for May don't you think?

I cut a couple Scalloped Stitched Ovals for the sentiment and stacked one

Best Friends

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today!

 Hello Tutti fans, I have a cute card using a die that is 'purr-fect' for

anytime of the year and especially for family and friends that love cats!

The die is called 'Best Friends' and if you have a cat you know how that can be!

I have kept this card simple by die cutting in white card stock
then paper piecing the cat and coloring in the rest. 

I placed the die cut when finished on a Stitched Scalloped Circle
then stamped what I though a great sentiment on a
Stitched Scalloped Rectangle.
All links are given below.

Happy Birthday Slimline

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today

Hello Tutti fans, Diane here on this Tuesday to once again
show a card I created for the UK Hochanda TV show 
that aired March 27th.

This time I am using a fun new slimline die
#685 Wobbly frame.

This die cuts just as it states a 'wobbly frame'
and I used the largest from the set.

Once my frame was cut I cut a second one from a 
checked glittery paper and used the inside piece
to place inside the frame.

The Roses in each corner were die cut using #639 Rose Trio.
Isn't that just the prettiest die cut?

The sentiment was stamped on a #418 Scalloped Stitched rectangle.

Love Owls

This is my card on the Tutti Designs blog today

Hello Tutti friends, today I have another card I created for the
UK Hochanda TV show that aired on March 27th,

This card features the Love Owls die #428.

I die cut my owls first in white card stock then colored in a few
places and then die cut once more from brown card stock
and paper pieced them on.

For the base of the card I did a 'slightly' fancy fold.  Just a normal A2 card
that the front has been scored down the center then folded back on itself.
To that I added two Scalloped Stitched circles, the bottom one was embossed.

I added another circle inside the card which I stamped my sentiment on
and made sure it matched up with the front panel circles when closed.

Honeycomb

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today: 

Hello Tutti fans, Diane with you today with a card I made for the

Hochanda UK TV show that aired on March 27th.

For this card I used the fun Honeycomb die cut from a yellow card stock
then layered on a Hexagon die.

I stenciled a honeycomb background then spattered
gold perfect pearls on.

I also cut an extra honeycomb from black
then snipped off the bees to use separately.

A smaller die of the hexagon set to stamp
the sentiment on which is from now out of business SNS.

Egg Flower

Hi, Diane with you today and I have a cute Easter card and my last for the month

different colors by using all the pieces included in this set.

I embossed a white background, then die cut each piece form several 
different scraps of  paper and putting altogether...FUN!!

I hope I have inspired you this month long of my posts of using Easter eggs
I know I certainly have had fun with each and every post.
I have given the link below and other links for your convivence.

Floral Daisy Egg

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today:

Hi Tutti Fans!

Being it's almost Easter I thought I would continue with
a few more Eater egg cards, this time using the 
Floral Daisy Egg die.

Nothing says Easter like a pretty decorated egg!

I die cut this one from pink card stock
then added Nuvo to each flower center.

A gorgeous piece of designer paper was added down one side
and I stamped the sentiment with a pretty pink ink.

Kind of reminds you of a nice Spring day doesn't it?

Floral Tulip Egg

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today:

Hello Tutti fans, Easter is sneaking upon us and I have a pretty card
using the Floral Tulip egg.

I die cut my egg three times, once in green for the base
then again in yellow and red so I could paper piece my
flowers on.  I added Nuvo to the flower centers.

And of course to finish I added a wax cord and bow,

I also die cut a grass strip from cute bunny paper to add more color and detail.

Happy Easter Egg

  Hello, Diane with you today and I have what I think is my

favorite Easter card I have made this year so far.
I love how this egg turned out and would be such an easy card to replicate!

I started by die cutting the Happy Easter Egg from white card stock
then used the negative part of the die as shown below for a stencil.

I first stenciled pastel color inks on but then decided I want a bit more
brightness so I just added brighter inks over the top of the pastel ones
within the same color range so as not to have it look muddy!

I really liked how it turned out and it was so easy
yet so delicate with the intricate die cutting!

Lotus Blossom

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs today.

 Today I have an Asian flare with three cards
using the Lotus Blossom.

For the first card I tried to use designer paper that fit the theme
of the Lotus Blossom and think these papers were a good choice.

I die cut the lotus blossom then adhered it to white
card, then fussy cut it again by hand.

For the second card I embossed a back panel
then die cut the lotus blossom and adhered it to a stitched circle.

The sentiment was stamped on a stitched rectangle.

The last card I once again used an Asian feel designer paper
mounted on black card stock, die cut the lotus blossom from black card
then adhered it to a colorful paper, then fussy cut it out.

I used the word smile from the word smile set.

Flower Wish

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today

Today I am using the Flower Wish die.
A simple die with so many uses it is sure to be a favorite.

This is a great die that can be used for birthdays, get well,
just about any occasion you can think of!

I have three variations and the first one is probably
the fanciest!

I added a pretty designer paper, a sparkle-y bow
and a flower after die cutting and adhering to a dotted rectangle.

The second card I die cut from white card and used copics to
color the flower and stem.
Two strips of card stock were added to each side
with a designer paper in the middle.

The final card I layered one cross stitch rectangle inside
another to make a frame, then used another one to add my wish flower to,
the flower was colored with Copics as well.

 Here are the links to the dies I have used:

Flower Friends

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today: 

Hello Tutti Design fans!

Today I have three different cards using the pretty
Flower Friends die.

For the first card I turned the flower on it's side
showing the word straight on!

I placed it on a cross stitched rectangle
then used another rectangle from the set for my sentiment.

A twine bow and a cute heart button were added to finish. 

For my next card I centered the flower the long way
on a scalloped rectangle,
die cutting the flower from two different papers
then paper piecing one on the other.

Three glitter butterflies were added.

The third card I die cut the flower from white card
then used glitter pens to color both the flower and 'stem',
added a small twine bow and centered it on three layers

of a nesting stitched rectangle.
