Z Fold Campin Out

Good morning CottageCutz fans, I hope you are enjoying the festive break. If I see another turkey I think I’m going to explode. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and it’s a pyjamas and movie kind of day so I’m making most of taking it easy.

Today I’m bringing you a Z-Fold card. I’ve never made one f these before but there area. However, there are ton of tutorials on You Tube so check them out.

To begin with I assembled the Z-Fold card base and used the ‘Grass Slimline’ to cover the base. I then used the Farm Fence Slimline above which i thought look really cool.

Next I cut out some of the trees from the ‘Campin Out Tress’ die and dotted them around the card. I used some chalk to make them look more realistic.

I then used the ‘Clouds Slimline die for the top of the card 

To finish I added the Moose and Reindeer by the fire with their mugs of hot chocolate. Also the mushrooms. I’ll list all the dies below

I really hope you like today card. I had fun making it. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and i will be back with a full tutorial on Friday

Hugs

    Happy Christmas Eve, I couldn’t really do a card without Santa on so this Will be my very last Christmas card of the year. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I wish you the merriest of Christmases

Tip begin with I took a navy card and used the ‘Holiday Slimline’ to cut 2 pieces of card, one higher than the other.

I stuck the base card down with glue but in my usual style I 3D’s the other pice of card so that i could add item behind this piece

Next I cut out Santa, and his silly reindeer and attached these to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads. 

I then choose a range if trees from the ‘Campin Out Trees’ set and added some chalk before attaching, then to the cared periodically added with 1mm foam pads.

To finish and it’s hard to see but I used a clear ‘Winks of Stella’ pen on the trees to make then glisten and we are done!

Again Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones and I hope you’ve been good and Santa puts something nice in your stocking 

Hugs

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

Christmas Window

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. I hope your week is gong well and that you are almost ready for Christmas. I can’t believe it’s next week. I say this every year but where does the year go?

Anyway, it’s Wendy bringing you the blog today. I have a simple sweet card for you using some of my very extensive Cottagecutz stash.

I thought’s I’d make a little window scene. I have had these dies for a while and I thought, let’s use them.

To begin with I took s card 6” x 4”. At each inch point I have scored a line. I then cut out the ‘Window with  Shutters’ die in white an then the top and bottom in grey. Behind the window I used the “Window Christmas Friends” tree die and added some some gold tinsel from the same die. I then added some red pearls to look like lights. I thought it would be fun to have wallpaper behind the tree so I had this in my crafty stash.

I attached the window with 2mm foam pads as I wanted some dimension. At the top of the card I used the same ‘tinsel’ that I used on the tree and added some poinsettias,l finished with gold gems.

Next I thought the card looked a little bland so I used the ‘Build a House Accessories’ and cut out the lamps twice for each side of the card. I also used the dog which I layered 3 times so it looked more realistic. That is our card done

I have been a little bit distracted and excited this week as my craft room was finally finished,I am so blessed to have such a large room and my family have really pulled together to get this finished for me.

Here’s a few photos, excuse my crafty mess

 

Christmas Wreath

Dear Cottagecutz fans. Thank you for continuing to stop by to see the blogs each day, it means so much. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I have a very simple stylish card for you.

To begin with I cut a piece of card when folded measured 5.5” x 4.5”. I also cut another piece of card the same size and cut a 4’ hole just above the centre as i wanted to add a sentiment to the bottom of the card. I then stuck the single piece of card onto the main card with 1mm foam pads.

Next I cut a great piece of card in grey, which was the same size of the hole I cut in in the main card and attached the alcove in the card with glue adhesive.

Here is the design bis far

Next, I wanted to create a wreath and the best way of doing this is to create a ring. I made this from the ‘Nested Stitched Circles’ sizes, 3” x 2 3/4”

Once cut out I decorated the started to decorate the wreath before sticking down to the card. I used the ‘Christmas Farmhouse Florals’ to do this. I took some green holly, top tip, take the end off the holly as it sits better without it. Add some white mistletoe and then a few pine cones to finish. Attach to the main card with glue

Finally I added some red germs to look like holly and your card is complete.

Thank you for popping by today. I really hope you like the card.  It is super easy to make and will give your stash the wow factor. Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you Tuesday with another design

Hugs, Wendy

Classy Christmas Card

Happy Tuesday Cottagecutz fans. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today. We are less than 3 weeks until the big day so I wanted to create a quick and easy card, with flair and finesse. I also am so aware that I haven’t made my family cards yet so this will be my card of choice this year

I don’t have a full tutorial for this card as you will nail it in minutes but here are the instructions.

I used the Victorian Velvet Distress Ink to create a background. My choice of weapon is blending brushes as they give a beautiful background and there are no hard edges, it just blends so well. I then used a ‘Wink of Stella’ brush pen to flick some glitter on the card to give it some dazzle. It may be hard to see but the original looks to pretty. 

Next I used the Snowy Trees die and cut this out 3 times in non shed glitter card. I attached 2 of the tress to the card with glue and the middle one I used 1mm foam pads for dimension.

Finally I used the ‘Wishes’ sentiment to finish off the card in coordinating colours and we are done.

Here’s a close up, I really hope you can see how pretty the ink looks

Thank you for stopping by, It means heaps. I am going to be back on Friday with a full tutorial for you so have a wonderful week

Wendy
