CottageCutz Holiday Candles

Hello everyone , Cheryl here today to share a card I made for the Scrapping Cottage &  Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge this week. Super easy one here,as this card took me seriously under 15 minutes to make!

On my card for today, I cut the scalloped background piece, and then cut a piece of scrap design paper at an angle. Next I added some ribbon to border the 2 different shades. and hot glued a big bow I made. For the main image I cut out a scalloped oval, and added some vintage trim I got from stash. Next I cut the CottageCutz Holiday Candles in the same grey embossed card stock that I used on my card. Super easy!!!

CottageCutz Silver and Gold

Hello Papercrafters!  Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with family and friends.  It's Carol here today with a project.  These are some of the cards I created with the beautiful CottageCutz dies.  With the popularity of Gold and Silver why not try cutting your CottageCutz dies on Metallic Cardstock.   This is the CottageCutz Cardinal Ornament die cut on Gold Cardstock.

For the CottageCutz Reindeer and Tree Ornament die, Silver Cardstock and trim was used to create this card.  All cards used spellbinders circles dies and the large and small Martha Stewart Snowflake punches on white cardstock and glitter.

A Martha Stewart Punch around the Page punch was used for the background on all these cards for that pretty lacy doily look.  The CottageCutz Teddybear Snowglobe die was cut on Gold cardstock for this card.  Isn't it cute!

 

On all these pretty cards strips of Glittered Washi tape-it really highlighted and brought sparkle to these cards for a festive look.  For this card the CottageCutz Candle Snowglobe die was cut on Silver Cardstock.

The size of all the cards are 5" x 5"  and use kraft cards from the Michael's $1.50 bin.  The gold and silver trim you see around these cards are also from Michael's $l.50 bin as well.  The CottageCutz Gingerbread Snowglobe die was cut on Gold Cardstock.  Thank you so much for stopping by today to view these Silver and Gold cards.  Sure do appreciate it.  Until next time Happy New Year!  Here are the dies used:

Recipe Dividers

Hi all! Vladka here!

Christmas is behind us and it is time to rest a little bit, also from crafting, don't you think? December was really busy and before the Christmas I made this recipe dividers. It will be perfect to run each recipe through a laminator, put them between right dividers and take them out when we need them. So, there will be no harm if we spill something on them. Practical, right? And the other possibility is, to bind them in the recipe book. On the first divider is Mrs. Claus. Very cute die and I´m so happy that I have also this motive in my collection. 

On the second one are really popular recipes for Christmas - Cookies. 

Third one is reserved for hot drinks...

... and the last one for Santa's favorite recipes. This is just one idea and can be modified, so it can be used for all kind of recipes which we use during the year.

So, this is my last post in CottageCutz blog for this year. 

I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to share all my SC projects during the whole year also here and thank you for all your kind comments.

I wish you all happy and special year 2016 with a lot of creative ideas.

Christmas Angel

Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas Eve to all! 
Today's card was designed for a challenge on SCS using the Beautiful CottageCutz Christmas dies. I used the Praying Angel, and Poinsettia & Holly dies.

For the Angel I cut her out in cream cardstock, and then embossed her with a mixture of embossing powders. I used a pink and gold , and then heated them up. Love the look.

 

For the Poinsettia I colored it using pink copics and then added some gold viva pearl pen to the center. The design paper is leftover scrap paper I had and wanted to use. I added some ribbons, and a bow to complete my card for today.

 

Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!!!

CottageCutz Christmas Cards

Hello everyone, it's Carol here today.   Christmas is in full swing here and today's post is just in time to share some of those last minute Christmas cards to send to family and friends.  CottageCutz dies are not only adorable, but the make quick work of a Holiday card and lend lots of details to the focal points.  This card features the Nutcracker die.

 These cards are created on Christmas cards from the $1.50 bin at Michael's for the base.  For this card the Potted Poinsettia for the focal point and Poinsettia and Ivy die from CottageCutz.

 So you can see the different looks you can get with these beautiful dies.  For this card Santa on Chimney is used.  These cards use all the same basic colors of black, white, and designer paper from Authentique "Believe" pad.

 Reindeer Pulling Sleigh from CottageCutz is the main focal point for this card.  A switch up of the flower and sentiment gives another look to this same basic design. 

 

Now that you have seen how many cards worked up, you know that once you have your basic design planned out, they go pretty quickly.  Perfect for last minute cards you need to get out.  This one used the Santa's Naughty/Nice List.

Almost all of these CottageCutz images were cut on glittered paper.  Another easy peasy hint for finishing up a few extra cards to send to those you didn't know were going to send to you this year.  For this card the Christmas Stocking was used.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Hope this gives you some ideas for whipping up some cards to finish your mailing list.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:
