Espressly For You...

Happy Boxing Day everyone! 

I (Simona) hope you all had a wonderful Christmas...

Here I am with another December post for 

The Scrapping Cottage Blog. 

Mr. Snuggles and Cup of Latte are such

a great combination, don't you agree... :).

I just love the NEW dies from the 

CottageCutz Winter 2013 Release.

This card was created with a special thought and meaning....

It was created for YOU, dear CottageCutz dies lovers

and loyal visitors of The Scrapping Cottage Blog. 

I would like to say THANK YOU for all the kind words written

in the comments and all the support trough the whole year.

Have a nice warm cup of Latte and enjoy new CottageCutz 

posts in the coming New Year 2014.

The dies were cut out of white card stock. I colored Mr. Snuggles

and the Cup of Latte with distress inks and Copic markers.

Fancy Insert Card/Tag was also cut out of white

card stock, embossed with embossing folder - dots and

distressed with walnut stain distress ink.

Wish you all the best in the coming New Year 2014!

Hugs,

Simona

Woodland Pine Trees gift tag

Hello Everyone from Olena!

  Today I am sharing Winter Woodland Pine Trees gift tag I created with beautiful  CottageCutz Collections of dies.

 

For this project I used Fancy Insert tag and Woodland Pine Trees dies.  

 First, I cut tag out using design paper. Sponges edges with blue ink and added white pieces of papers like a snow in the bottom of tag. Next, I cut pine trees out, sponged the edges with light blue craft ink and glued on the tag using foam tape.  
I, also, added  glitter on pine trees, snow and white ribbon on tag.  

 For this project I used:

 

Have A Wonderful Holidays Time!

Merry Christmas

Happy Sunday everyone!

Kathy with you and today I have a couple of Christmas projects to show you!  The first is a very simple card I made for MY Christmas Cards this year!  I wanted something elegant and simple...this is what I came up with!

I just love the white and red combination on this showing the beautiful Elegant Flurry Snowflake Die cut.  Very easy card to put together!  I used a red card base and a white mat partially embossed with a snowflake die.  I stamped a sentiment on the bottom, wrapped some red ribbon around the mat, then added the snowflake and a bow!

My second project is a gift card holder I made using the Fancy Envelope Die, my new FAVORITE die!  It's perfect as a gift card holder, I love it!  I know I'll be using this one a lot!

To make the holder, I cut the envelope with white cardstock and again with some Christmas designer paper (Botanical Noel by Recollections).  I trimmed the designer paper piece to cover the flap and another piece for the back (taken from the inside of the pocket). 

The Poinsettia Spray was cut with various cardstock scraps that were shaped and slightly inked.  I also cut a bow with red cardstock using the Homemade Christmas Gift Set and added a button with a twine bow.   I also cut an additional poinsettia flower to decorate the flap with a couple of leaves.

These are the dies I used:

(Note: Sorry, I don't have a picture of the Fancy Envelope Die.)

Have yourself a Shabby little Christmas.

  May all your decorations be white. 

 Hang a tattered little star upon the highest bow,

 and have yourself a Shabby little Christmas now!!!

Hello friends and bloggers It's Carol here today.    It's now just about that time before Christmas when I realize I have planned more craft projects than I know I can finish or handle.  I was procrastinating about this project knowing I had cards to make to get in the mail and a project to show you today. I got out my little Christmas note cards that I purchased from Michaels, got some white paint, cheese cloth, kraft cardstock, a couple of dies, glitter and punches and went to town.  This card goes together fast.  I am not kidding.  I will have made 8 cards in two nights.  That is fast for me!

Not only that, this will cost 66 cents to mail instead of $2.50 to $3.00 per card that I normally spend.  This is so much fun to make.  If I don't have paint up to my elbows and on my face and glitter all over the place, I am not having fun.  This was fun!!!!    Thanks for stopping by.  Sure do appreciate it.  See you soon!!!  Here are the dies I used:

Snowflake Wreath

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

CottageCutz Winter 2013 Release:

Hot Drink Cup (3x3)
Cup of Latte (Elites)

Mittens (Elites)

 Ice Skates (Elites)

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
