Warm & Cozy Bears Card

Hey crafty friends,

Melinda here and it's another Terrific Tuesday! Today I am sharing a fun and super cute card featuring some more of the fun dies in the Cottage Cutz collections. Take a look.

My card is a standard A2 side fold card. I started with a white base. To that, I added a black mat and a cute blue polka dot patterned paper.

Here is a closer look at the cute little bears. I colored them with my markers. I also colored the logs, cocoa cups, fire and sign 

I used some clear gloss on my fire die cut pieces. As it dries, it dries clear and gives the die cut some glossy dimension. I did also add some to the inside of the bears' cups. You can't really see it in the photo above but it adds a cute touch.

Here is a closer look at my directional sign. I cut the pieces out in white and then used my markers to color the pieces in. I did print out the letters. I added a small pink heart and added some stickles glitter glue to it for the top of my sign.

Here is a closer look at the warm & cozy title. I also colored the purple and blue mini hearts. The darker pink (small and large one) and the lighter pink hearts were cut from that colored paper.

Here is one last look at my card. As I assembled the card, you can see I used the scallop stitched rectangle mat. To that I added a cute mat from some patterned paper. You can't really see it, but the paper has a heart print and it says.. Love One Another on it. I love this. Makes me think of me and my hubby as we are having a cold snap here in Florida. I have it set by my coffee and cocoa bar.

Design Step:

Santa’s snowed in

Happy Friday everyone. I really hope that your weeks have been great. Today I’m bringing you a cute little shaker card. I really love this card as its is filled with faux snow which is so realistic. Santa has been snowed in, so he’s hiking a ride to help him deliver the presents.

To begin with I took a card, that when folded measured 4.75” x 3,75”. I then cut out the largest of the scalloped stitched rectangles and cut it out in red card.  From this I cut out the centre of the card with the stitched rectangle measuring  3,5” x 2.5”. I overlayed a piece of acetate behind the red Frame and attached 2mm foam pads all the way around the edge to give me some lift for my shaker card. I also cut a navy piece of card the same size of the rectangle I cut into the centre of the card, so 3.5” x 2.5”.

Next I took some strips of the slimline clouds and overlayed these into my design. It’s easy to get these the right size to fit into the design by using the same size rectangle as you’d did to cut out the centre of the picture

Next I die cut Santa, his sleigh and a present from the Special ‘Delivery’ die set and assembled over the snowy hills. I then put some of the faux snow onto the card before layering over the red rectangle. I used the joy sentiment from the ‘High Flying Snowman’.  So give the card a shake and the fun begins.

I just wanted to share a fun little make with your Christmas table in mind. This cute little place card is made with my favourite gingerbread die. When folded the card measures 3.5” x 2.5” and I have used the 2” stitched circle to place in the middle of the card. You can use you stitched rectangles to write or print names

I wish you all the very best for the weekend ahead and remember to take some time to craft. I will be back with you on Tuesday

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
