Chalkboard style

 Hi, all! Vladka is here! 

This time I have two cards with chalkboard style  for you. I love this style and I´ve used it before, but I wanted to try it also with CottageCutz dies. I combined different dies from different releases: Christmas, Harvest and from the last Winter release which is so playful. Here are both cards:
First one is combination of Wreath, Mittens, Winterland Holly and Bow dies. First two are cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder. Winterland Holly and Bow are coloured with Distress Inks.
Second one is combined from Snowflake, Ice Skates and Poinsettia dies. Also here are Snowflake and Ice Skates cut out from black cardstock and embossed with white powder and Poinsettia is coloured with different Distress Inks.
Holidays approaching very fast and I have so much to do till then. I have to hurry up. 
But I still have time to wish you great day and don´t forget to have fun!

Winter Tag Set


Hello everyone! It's Simona with you today.
 Christmas is approaching so fast and since I'm going to need some 
tags for the gifts, I decided to make some. For my tags I used 
beautiful NEW dies from the


I cut the dies out of white card stock. Then I colored them with 
Copic markers and Distress Inks. 


For the tags I used Santa & Reindeer Tag Set. I cut the
tags 3x out of white card stock and 3x out of various design paper. 
Then I glued them together and distress the edges with walnut stain
distress ink.


I added eyelets to the tags and attached the die cuts
onto the tags with some 3D foam squares.

I appreciate you stopped by today!
Thank you for looking and see you next time.

Hugs,
Simona

Poinsettia card

Hello Everyone from Olena

Today, I am sharing with you my Holiday "Poinsettia" card I created with Beautiful  CottageCutz Collections of dies.

For this card I used only one Ornate Poinsettia die.


 I cut Poinsettia out three times using white card stock. Then I cut leaves and swirls out using scissors, sponge the edges with light pin color of ink and glued second image on first using double foam tape. Next, I cut big flower out, sponge the edges and glued on second image using foam tape too.


For background I stamped small snowflakes and sentiment "Merry Christmas".
Decorate card with white and pink ribbons, yellow rhinestone and orange Liquid Pearls.



Have a Wonderful Day. 
Olena

Elegant Christmas Bell


 
 


Happy Thursday!

Kathy with you and today I have a Christmas card for you using the Elegant Christmas Bell, Holly Berry Mini, and The Homemade Christmas Gift Set dies from The Scrapping Cottage.





For my card I started with a red base and added a white mat embossed with a snowflake die.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is cut using The Homemade Christmas Gift Set and red cardstock.  I ran it through my XYRON Create-a-sticker machine to make it easier to adhere to the card.  The Elegant Christmas Bell was cut with red and green cardstock and gold designer paper from Glad Tidings Mat Stack.  I glued the bell to the mat and then added branches that were inked with green and shaped a little.  The bow was inked with red and shaped it a little before adding it the to bell with pop dots.

I wrapped the plaid ribbon around the mat and added a bow made with the Bow-Easy.  I used the Holly Berry Mini with red and green cardstock to add holly to the bow center after shaping them a little with my fingers and a stylus. 

To finish the card off I added a button with a floss bow.

These are the dies I used.

CottageCutz Nutcracker

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday to all! Today's card features the sweet CottageCutz Nutcracker! I absolutely Love this one. I also used the CottageCutz Winter Pine Branch

For the Nutcracker I cut him out all in white card stock, and then colored the pieces with copics. He was super easy to put together. I love the colors of Christmas and thought he would look perfect in Red & Green, with Gold accents.

Next the CottageCutz Winter Pine Branch was cut using AC card stock in 2 different greens. I then added some flowers on top. The design paper is layered with MS border punches, and I love the look it gives to the layers on here. No Ribbon on this card. I added buttons instead :) heheheheh


I LOVE all the CottageCutz Christmas dies that have been released for this year too. They are all soo Beautiful!!! Also be sure to check out the Winter Release found HERE!

Thank you for looking and have a super wonderful day!!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Winter Cardinal in the Snow

Holly Jolly greetings to you my dear friends.  It's Carol here today and I would like to share with you a CottageCutz creation made with the Winter Cardinal die, Winter Pine Branch die, Winter Pinecone Die, and Elegant Holly Corner Die. Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?  We don't get a white Christmas here in the South.  As a matter of fact, it was 80 degrees here on Saturday.  So I have to find creative ways to make my creations look snowy and frosty so I can enjoy a white Christmas.
 
For flowers and leaves I used lots of snow and glitter.  The pine-cones also have brown sparkly glitter.  I painted the greenery on the Winter Cardinal die with smooch paint.  This was so fun to create.  Thanks so much for dropping by during you busy Christmas preparations.  I sure do appreciate it.  See you soon.  Here are the dies I used:
