Santa’s Final Deliveries


Hello CottageCutz fans and happy Tuesday. It’s Wendy brining you the blog today and it’s Only 4 days left until the big day now so this will probably be my last Christmas post.

So today I have taken a card measuring 5.5” x 4.5”. From this I have cut the largest nesting rectangle in the middle of the card. On the back of the card as you can see I have applied blue card.

Next I have varying layers of white glitter card. I have made them look like hills by using the ‘Hills Slimline’ die. Each layer of the card has someone unique to add some variation. I can’t help myself but use the ‘Campin Out Trees’ die. Santa’s is also here with his mug of hot cocoa. He’a had a long night ahead of so he’s earned it LOL.

I have also used the beautiful house ‘From the Winter Houses 2’. They remind me of being in San Francisco. Finally Santa has his bag and there’s is another tree at the top of the card.

I really hope you like the card and are all set for the big day. I have several things on my list but they will get done. I will be back with a full tutorial on Friday (Christmas Eve), but in the meantime have s lovely week.

Hugs Wendy

3 Simple Tags



Happy Tuesday Cottagecutz fans. I hope your week is going well. I have been busily crafting all weekend. I just love this time of year for paper crafts 

It’s Wendy bringing you the Today blog. Today I have 3 simple tags. Simple can be very classy and this Christmas release has no end of super fun dies to choose from

To begin with I cut 3 of the nested scalloped rectangles in 3 different colours (4” x 3/4”). I then cut in kraft card 3 nested stitched rectangles and I did the same with some patterned acetate (3” x 2 1/8”). You could get a similar affect if you used the splatter technique on your card


Next I cut out 3 half stitched rectangles and used the Slimline Hills to give them a lovely snowy affect. I am doing this to give the tags some point of interest but it also hides the glue on the acetate.



So I assembled the base of the tags, first the Nested Scalloped Rectangles, then the kraft card and acetate. I then glued the snow to hide the acetate. The hole at the top of the tag will also keep the acetate in place


I then cut the ‘Joyful Snowman’ and Santa and the trees from the ‘Special Delivery’ die set


I attached the elements to the tags with 1mm foam pads and then threaded through the ribbon


I really hope you like the tags. Have a wonderful week and I will see you on Friday with a project from the new release

Special delivery



Good morning wonderful Scrapping Cottage fans. I hope you’ve had an amazing week. We’re already at Friday, where did the week go? It's Wendy bringing you the end of the week blog today and here’s today’s card



So we are in October which is my favourite month as I have my birthday, and I also get to do a blog post on my birthday, so expect something sensational!

I'm very excited to be using some of the new Christmas designs which are AMAZING! You just have time to get 30%  off the dies if you order by 9pm PCT


So here’s a light tutorial for you.

I’ve started with a navy slimline card and have added some snow using the ‘Hills Slimline’ dies. I love the versatility of these dies so one to pop in your basket. The second layer has been mounted with 1mm 3D foam pads so I could slot various items behind there

To make the main body of the card I’ve used the ‘Santa’s delivery’ die. I love the cheeky Santa, the cute reindeer and the plethora of gifts. The large trees have also been taken from this die and I think Santa has been naughty and taken a star off the tree :-) Everything is very easy to assemble and what I like about CottageCutz is that the colours you need for each element are grouped on the die so you haven’t got card all over the die 

For the smaller trees I used the new ‘Ice Skating Kids’ die

Finally I used an older die but still really handy and that is ‘Santa stuck in Chimney’ I thought this was great to leave the presents in.

As it’s the weekend, I have a bonus card for you


This is such an easy card to make. I have used the new ‘Joyful Snowman’ die. All of the elements to spell the word Joy have been cut out 3 times and layered to give them a chipboard effect. I have also used the ‘Nested stitched Scalloped Rectangles’ to put on the base card. I have finished off by using a white pen to highlight the gold elements and some flat backed pearls on the holly

I really hope you like the cards and you’re inspired to start making your Christmas cards 

Have a wonderful weekend and make sure you have plenty of time to craft.
