Christmas Cookie

Hi!

It's Anja here. I have another Christmas card for you today. This time is all about baking. 


 For this card I used:

- Cottage Cutz dies (Gingerbread Baker, Sweet as a Christmas Cookie),

- Distress Inks and Oxides,

- white card base (10x21 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts,

- black pen,

- white pen,

- water spritzer,

- heat gun,

- adhesive foam pads,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored gingerbread cookie.

Next I did the same with the sentiment.

Then I used Distress Oxides and did the background. I colored directly on the card base.

After coloring I spritzed over the paper and dried it with the heat gun.

And after that I glued all the pieces to the card base. I adhered the gingerbread cookie with the adhesive foam pads. And my card was done.


That's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again next Sunday.

Anja Z.

Gingerbread Baker Pocket Card


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Monday edition of the Blog. 

Our Christmas dies are in the online store. And, you can still pick them up on a 25% sale. We have Christmas Part 1 (22 new designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 new designs) and Christmas Part 3 (11 new designs).

Today, I have for your viewing pleasure a card featuring the new Gingerbread Baker die from the Christmas Part 1 release. 

I created this card using the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #818. Our own Jeanne was the hostess and she chose some colors that were just about perfect for this gingerbread die. And, the red works well for a Christmas card.  

I decided to create a pocket card. It's such a good technique if you want to include a tag in your card. I made one on this post and give all the details on how to create it. And, if you like to watch one being made, you can check out this video on Splitcoaststampers. 

I created the card front first using designer paper in the real red color. On the pocket flap, I added vanilla and red ribbon. The little cookie embellishments are from the Sweet as a Christmas Cookie die- Christmas Part 3. Added the sentiment using the Merry Christmas Love die from the Christmas Part 3 release. 

On the inside tag, I cut the gingerbread baker in the challenge colors. For this challenge you are allowed other neutrals and I used a medium brown for the baker itself. I attached some curly red ribbon and tied it with some silver cording. Scattered a few red glitter enamel dots. 

Here is a photo showing the tag placed inside the pocket. 

 Well, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you another idea for a way to use this new die. See you again on Saturday!

Gingerbread Gift!

Hello Friends,

It is Pam creating with you today!

Just a reminder that our online store is featuring some beautifully detailed Christmas dies.  The dies are from Christmas Part 1 (22 designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 designs), and Christmas Part 3 (12 designs).  All of these fabulous dies are on sale right now in the store for 25% off.  Just click here to check them out.

Today,  I am working with the Gingerbread Baker die.  It is perfect for making little gift bags full of gingerbread cookies! I found this adorable little gingerbread man cookie cutter.  So I am going to fill these bags with little tiny gingerbread men! 


Design Steps:

1.  Using the Gingerbread Baker die cut light brown, dark brown, red, green and white card stock.  Shade the pieces using a variety of ink colors and a small applicator

2.  Assemble the little gingerbread men using a fine tip glue.  Use a fine tip black marker to color in the eyes and then add a dot of white ink using a white gel pen

3.  Use a polka dot background stamp and stamp a small white bag.  Next I used our largest Scallop Retangle die to cut off part of the bag and to get a scalloped edge.  I also used an Avery Shipping Tag 2 3/4 x 1 3/8.  Stamp the tag in brown with A gift for you.  

4.  Loop the tag over the top of the bag and glue the Gingerbread man with the rolling pen on top of the string.  I only glue down the right side of the gingerbread man on the bottom of the bag so the tag could just slide behind him.  This way you can open the bag without ripping him. Your cute little gift back is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it!

Holiday Deliciousness

Hello!  This is Sukie and I have another holiday card to share today for my design team post.  There are 3 Christmas die releases in the store with so many amazing die sets.  This card is full of Christmas cheer!

I started by cutting all of the pieces to make the adorable Gingerbread Baker using card stock. The pieces were easy to put together.  I love how he's sitting on a rolling pin with the spoon in his hand!

I found the snowflake pattern kraft card stock in my stash.  I used an oval die cut to add some white ink to the card panel. I simply held the oval in place and inked all the way around the inside of the oval.

The card base was created with layers of kraft and white card stock and then finished off with the pattered snowflake paper.


I affixed the Gingerbread Baker to the center of my card base. The soft inked oval in the background keeps the die cuts from blending into the background.

The sentiment is from the APB - This is December #2 stamp set which was heat embossed on some red card stock for a pop of color.  The cheery sentiment is definitely a fun addition!

The kraft, red and white gives this card a warm and cozy feel to it.  It's one of my favorite color combinations for holiday cards!

Here is the die set I used on my card available in the store:

No Peeking 'til Christmas Gift Card Holders

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne today with gift card holders using the new Christmas Pals Peekers die from Part 2 of the new Christmas release.  Gift cards are my go to gift at Christmas for both my immediate and extended family.

These tag holders are super easy to create and can be attached to a present or hung on the tree.  

To start I cut all my characters from white cardstock using the Christmas Peekers die.

I used Copic Markers to do most of the coloring. I did a bit of shading using Distress Oxide ink in Pumice Stone for the Santa Gnome's beard and hat, and Tumbled Glass for the Snowman and the Penguin's hat.  I used Antique Linen and Tea Dye to color the Santa Gnome's skin.

I will show how I created one of the holders.  All holders were made the same way.

I cut a piece of patterned paper 3 x 6 inches and a piece of coordinating cardstock the same size.  I used a permanent tape runner to adhere these together.


I have a corner punch which I used to round the top corners and a slit punch which gave me the hole for the ribbon.  You could also simply cut the top corners at an angle and use a hole punch for the ribbon.

Next I cut the pocket from the same cardstock using the Fancy Pocket Plus die and heat embossed the sentiment. 

Because I was making several, I used my stamping platform and did all my stamping at one time.

I folded and glued my pocket together before putting it on my card.  I placed several acrylic blocks on top and left them for several minutes to give it a good seal.

I then glued it to the tag and added my peeker!

I cut a 16 inch length of coordinating ribbon and tied it at the top.  Now my tag is ready to hang on the tree!

These are very easy to assemble.  I chose to make each of my tags different, but if you use a paper that's appropriate for all of the characters (stripes, plaid, dots, etc) you can get eight tags from one 12 x 12 inch sheet of patterned paper!  My patterns were on paper so I needed the cardstock backing for stability, but if you use 12 x 12 patterned cardstock you can even eliminate one step!

And now for a little extra:  After I had completed these tags I decided that these would be perfect for my tree and immediate family, but I needed a fourth one.  (I'll be making more for the nieces and nephews).  I wanted something different and in looking through my dies...

I found the Gingerbread Baker from the new Christmas Part 1 release is perfect as a peeker for a gift card!

Be sure  to visit the online store where the new Christmas Release (Parts 1, 2, and 3) are on sale for a limited time!
