Merry Christmas Card and Treats

Hello!  This Sukie and I'm back with a fun project idea for my guest designer post.  I used the Cottage Cutz Christmas Tag Topper set for my card and treats. This set is so versatile and can be used for so many different projects.

I found the papers in my stash from the DCWV Winter mat stack, the papers are a lighter card stock which works best for wrapping the Hershey's Nuggets.  I trimmed the wrappers to 1"x3" which is the perfect size for the chocolate.  I used Glue Dots Temporary Adhesive tape to adhere the wrappers to the Nuggets.

The tray for the Nuggets was cut at 2"x4" in a heavier card stock.  I scored the sides at 1/4" to create the tray.

The tag toppers were die cut to coordinate with the Hershey's Nuggets.  I used a pen to detail the snowmen faces and buttons.

Once I wrapped all of the Nuggets, they were secured to the trays with a removable Glue Dot, this helps to keep them from shifting in the clear bags.  I cut out the rectangles from the Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle set and folded it in half to create the bag topper.  The base of my card was inked on the edges and splattered with some blue paint for a bit of detail.

I adhered the banners to the card based and used some Totally Blue Trendy Twine to accent the top of  my card.  

Here are the dies used on my project available over in the shop:

Christmas Release Design Team Samples (Part 1)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the new 2018 Christmas release. There are 29 new designs in this release and it's just Part 1 of what we will be releasing for Christmas. And, they are currently 25% off for a limited time.

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again for this release. We have 4 samples for your viewing pleasure today.

Card 1:  This first sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Santa Hat Cat and the Christmas Tag Toppers dies to create her card in traditional Christmas colors. The striped patterned paper and image panel placed on an angle give it that extra flair. 
Looks like the Santa Hat Cat is temporarily out of stock. But check back on that one soon. How cute would this card be for the cat lover that we all know. The tag toppers are a great way to add your greeting to a card. This design would be so easy to reproduce if you want to send several of these.

Card 2:  This next sample is from Lois Bak. She is great at creating such fun folds and this one doesn't disappoint. She used the Teapot Snowman and Sweet Christmas dies to create this super cute side step card. This card would be perfect for the tea lover or even the friend we all have who loves to bake.

Card 3: This next sample is another one from Lois Bak. On this card she used the new Swirly Tree with Stars  and Merry Christmas Tree Phrase dies. Love how she took her patterned paper strips and created a sunburst for such a unique and different Christmas card.

Card 4: Our last sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the sweet Hugging Penguins and Christmas Tag Toppers dies to create this precious Christmas card. Her embossed background and patterned paper just add to the charm of this card. Notice how she created her image panel? She used the pierced rectangle die to cut her background and snowbank. It's a creative idea.

I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for ways to use these new dies.  And, remember they are currently 25% off in the online store.
