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:

Jars of jam

Hi, Janja here!

Nothing can be compared to homemade jams. In the month of May, when the first strawberries are mature, I begin to prepare our jams.
I like how my home smells when I cook fruit. I like the taste and beautiful colors.

I used cute stitched jars on today's first card and filled them with strawberry jam.

Supplies:
- Cottagecutz dies: Stitched Jars, Kitchen Chef (Chef hat), Stitched Sewing Notions (hand made label), Springtime Strawberries, Nested Stitched Scallop Oval Set, Oval Set, Stitched Wide Oval Frame Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm, folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- white cardstock
- Memento inks: Lady Bug, Rhubarb Stalk, Dandelion, Peart Tart, Bamboo Leaves
- white pen
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads

Cut out all pieces, and color them with ink pads. I used the stamp for sentiment. For oval cutouts use the largest dies from the three basic oval sets.
When we have everything ready, we begin with gluing.

A card with a glass of homemade jam can also be a nice gift. 

Nothing is better than one afternoon in a company of good friends and a cup of coffee. 

Supplies:

- CottageCutz dies: Coffee Pot & Toaster, Breakfast Plate, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set

- white card base: 4.25 x 53.5" (10,7 x 13,9 cm, folded

- kraft cardstock: 3.74 x 5" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)

- watercolor paper 

- Distress refill Brushed Courduroy

- Distress inks: Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss

- watercolor brush

Cut out a rectangle from watercolor paper, and add drops with a brush on it. It does not matter if a few drops are spilled. This is the purpose of this background. 

In the middle we add some nice phrase about coffee and friends. 

Cut out the tray and cups and color them.

Completed card.

I would like to remind you that the new "Llamas & Botanical" release is available for 25% less. 

Thank you for coming over. Have a nice day. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sewing theme card

Hi, Janja here!

My today's card was made with a set of cute sewing elements.
I have some friends who love sewing. That's why I was especially pleased with the Stitched Sewing Notions die. With this die we can make a few cards or thank you cards, for everyone who loves sewing. I also prepared a matching tag.

The Stitched dies and the new Spring dies are currently 25% off. Check them out in The Scrapping Cottage store.

Supplies:

- CottageCutz dies: Stitched Sewing Notions, Girl Christening Gown, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle Set, Stitched Recrangle Set, Mail Tag Set

- white card base: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded

- kraft cardstock: 3.7 x 4.8" (9,5 x 12,3cm)

- patterned paper

- white and kraft cardstock

- Distress ink pads: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Vintage Photo

- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads

Prepare a card base from a white cardstock. Cut a smaller layer from a kraft cardstock, and attach to a card base. Die cut two rectangles from patterned paper and white cardstock (the largest die from both sets).

Make a matching tag using the Mail Tag Set die.  

Now cut out all the sewing elements. For shading I use bright and dark tones to add a dimension.  

Look how cute these cutouts are. Especially the "handmade" label with heart. The perfect end touch to handmade items.  

 Complete the card and tag.

Thank you for coming over. Have a nice day.
