CottageCutz Coin Mini Album

Greetings everyone.  Hope you have a Merry and Bright Christmas.  This is something I wished to share with you.  I got the idea from a little gift that I wanted to make the bank teller I visit everyday for work reasons.  So guess what?  It's made from Quarter Roll wrappers and it's a mini album....lol  I asked her for a handful and told her when I brought it back to her she would not recognize them.  This so super cute.  It's my third one and it's such a great ornament.  Here you see it hanging in my tree.
 Here you see it fanned out showing the pages.  I can picture making one a year and writing my Christmas memories on the tags.  If you get creative you can cut up your pictures and attach them inside as well.
 
 
The first page has a little tag behind the tree and deer.  The second page show the tag that was made to go inside the coin wrapper.  It's been stamped and embossed with white ink.  The little snowman is from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set. 
 


The ice skates are my absolute favorite in this release.  They are just darling.  The "Joy" center on the snowflake is also from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set.
Thank you so much for viewing my Mini Album.  Have a Happy New Year.
Here's the Dies I used:

Latte Love

Hi, all. Vladka Here!
This is my last post for this year and it was such fun to play with Scrapping Cottage dies all year. 
For my "coffee love" card I used following dies: Hot Drink CupCup of Latte and Tweet Love. There is no such thing like good cup of coffee and I love it with milk, this is why I put "latte" on the cup. 
So, let's grab cup of coffee and relax. There is just couple of days till new year and I wish you all  happy New Year!

Woodland Pine Trees gift tag


  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:

CottageCutz Shabby Chic Christmas Stocking

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:
