Cookies 'n Cocoa Treat Tote

Welcome to a new week of crafty Christmas inspiration! ☺

 Kris here sharing a treat tote that I was inspired to make by one of the new Christmas Part 2 dies called Cookies & Cocoa!  This holder is perfect for gifting a big cookie and a packet of hot cocoa mix for those friends and family who drop by during the holidays!  They can easily be made up ahead of time so you have some on hand! 


After I made the first one using the Ginger Friends, I decided it would be best to show you how I did it in a video (at end of this post).  I used the Snowmen Friends on my 2nd one.  Both versions use the Cookies & Cocoa die on one side.

Golfing Joy Fold Card







Hi everyone! Linh here and I have a new video up on the Cottage Cutz YouTube channel. This is an easy joy fold card, which I love because it gives you so much more additional space to decorate but still folds down to a compact US A2 size. If you struggle with making cards for the men and sports lovers in your life, the Baseball & Golf collection for you!

Stamping With Dies!








Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. I was so inspired by the new Strawberry & Bees Collection that I made a couple batches of cold process soap bars in my bee-themed mold. Using several of the bee die sets in this collection, I created a wrap to package my soap bar and even made a matching card to go with it!

In this video, you'll see how I used the honeycomb die to stamp out my own background! Not only can you make your own pattern paper but you can even dress up things like tissue paper (or wax paper, which is what I wrapped my soap bars in). Watch this video to see how you can turn your dies into stamps!

Summer is Here!







Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I combined the Easel, Build an Ice Cream Cone, and Ice Cream Truck die sets from the Sweet Treats Collection. Where's the ice cream truck, you ask? My initial design plan for this card didn't quite come together the way I saw it in my head. Then I remembered... there's a beautiful white canvas on the inside of the card! And voila -- the perfect spot for a fun surprise when you open the card!

Easy Slider Card with No Special Dies









Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I'll show you how I made this fun slider card. I don't drink so when I say "Make it a double", my husband knows this is what I'm talking about. LOL

To create this card, I've used elements from three different sets from the new Sweet Treats collection. The main ice cream cup and larger scoop of ice cream is from the Ice Cream Sundae die set. That set includes a dollop of whipped cream and a strawberry, but I always think of ice cream sundaes as having a cherry on top, so I took the cherry from the Cupcake with Cherry set. The scale fits perfectly. In order to have the second scoop hidden initially, it needs to be smaller than the large scoop. I used one of the many scoops of ice cream from the Build An Ice Cream Cone set.  This creates the perfect double-scoop ice cream cup!

I die cut all the elements from solid color card stock but to make the ice cream extra special, I dusted it with Nuvo Shimmer Powder and spritz it with my homemade mica mist in snow white. That gives it all the delicious color variation of natural ice cream as well as a beautiful shimmer. I used Diamond Glaze on the cherry to give it that glossy shine. To finish the card, I used my Dymo label to create the custom sentiment and stamped "pull here" on an arrow so the card recipient knows this is an interactive card.

Theme Your Cake Shoppe And Use it All Year Long!






Hi everyone! My name is Linh and I'm honored and excited to be here as a guest designer. I have a new video up on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel. In this video, I'll show you how I took the Cake Shoppe from the new Sweet Treat release and combined it with the Spooky Camper set to create two different cards. The Cake Shoppe is super versatile and can be themed so you can use it all year long.

For both cards, I die cut from solid color cardstock. It's a great way to use up all your scraps and saves you from having to color little pieces. For the smaller pieces, I used a glue pen to apply adhesive. This allows you to get glue precisely where you want it.  I like to die cut a lot of elements so I can mix and match and have a lot of choices when I go to create my card. I had so many leftover pieces, I made a second card!


This first card is a Halloween themed cake shoppe.


This card converts the cake shoppe to a haunted house.


On this second card, I used some of the Cake Shoppe elements differently.  The small windows and front porch step I used as bricks. The greenery in the pots I used as bushes. And I combined more of the Spooky Camper elements to complete my haunted house.  I had so much fun tucking all the spooky elements here and there. I especially love the cat that's hiding behind the pumpkin. :)
