CottageCutz Focus Week-Gift Card Holder

 CottageCutz is featuring Gift Card Holders for Focus week which is December 8 through December 15.  It's Carol here today.  For my project, I have created this cute little gift card holder pocket.  It was created with a scalloped circle die and a plain circle die.  I cut three pieces:  a) the white backing with the scallop die, b) two pieces of designer paper, c) folded one of the designer papers over and adhered it to the base to create the pocket.

 Just so you know......that red gift card with the M.......is a Michael's card.....were you expecting a Home Depot card???? lol  For this gift card holder I used the Stacked Snowmen, Poinsettia & Holly, and Merry Christmas die from CottageCutz.  This looks so cute hanging in my tree.  It's a great way to present a Gift Card.

We will be giving away a gift certificate. 
All you have to do is, to comment on each post for this week on CottageCutz blog (between 8th and 15th of December) and one lucky winner will get the gift certificate. 

So, good luck!

Thank you so much for stopping by to view my project.  Until next time, Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:

CottageCutz Focus Week - Gift Card Holder

Hi, all.  Vladka here today! 

I'm starting another Focus Week on CottageCutz blog, this time with Gift Card Holder. Gift Cards are really popular and I hope that our Focus Week will give you some ideas how to wrap them. 

I created one big pocket (one side has approximately 5 inches) and I put piece of cardstock in it. This piece holds little envelope which is actually a gift card holder - card perfectly fits in it. I used following dies: Whimsical Deer and Bird, Christmas Greetings, Winter Trees for greenery, Fancy Bow and Gift Card Holder. Also this time everything is distressed with Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo Distress Inks and little white color was added with white tube watercolor. All die cuts were also colored with Distress Inks.

And this is not all my friends. 
Also this time we will be giving away a gift certificate. 
All you have to do is, to comment on each post for this week on CottageCutz blog (between 8th and 15th of December) and one lucky winner will get the gift certificate.

CottageCutz Shabby Chic Christmas Cards

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  It's Carol here today.  How about some shabby chic cards for today's project share with these beautiful Cottagecutz dies.  Lots of white cardstock and glitter really make for a festive card.

 For this card the super cute Trees 4 Sale die from CottageCutz is the main focal point.  The Christmas Greeting die was cut on black card stock.  To create the background, a snowflake embossing folder was used on kraft cardstock that was cut with a round Spellbinders die and then a white ink pad was run over the design.  The holly leaves are Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Punch.

 The Santa's Sleigh die for this card was cut on white cardstock and painted with glitter glue and sprinkled with glitter.  The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches that have been glittered and layered.

 This is the Christmas Tree in Window die.  It was glittered to.  Some cheese cloth has also been sandwiched in the layers for a fun wispy feel to shabby it up.  The card bases are from the $1.50 bin at Michael's.

Thanks so much for letting me share with you today my project.  Here's hoping you are enjoying you Holiday preparations.  Until next time......Happy Crafting!  Here are the dies used:

CottageCutz Lantern Christmas Card

Hello Paper Crafters.  It's Carol here today.  Is this not a classic looking Christmas card or what!  This beautiful Lantern & Poinsettia die from CottajgeCutz is just amazing.  There is absolutely nothing not to like about this die. 

To create this beautiful card the die was cut on black cardstock.  The "light" area of the lantern was created by cutting a piece of white cardstock and coloring with copic markers to make it look like a light inside.  The Poinsettia and Ivy die was used on top of the floral area of this lantern die for dimension and embellishment.  A Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page and Spellbinders dies were used for background accent.  Red glittered corrugated paper from Michael's was used as well.

The little sentiment is a stick from Michael's that I had in my stash for a while.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Sure do appreciate it.  Until next time......Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used.

Santa Snowglobe

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!

 

 

 

On my card I used the sweet CottageCutz dies. They are older ones, but super cute.

The CottageCutz Snowglobe was cute using white card stock and then I airbrushed the globe with BG000, next I colored the base with G28, and the other pieces with R59, and bow with R59, and R37. I also added some glitter to it.

For the CottageCutz Snowglobe Accessories I used the Santa and sign pieces, and colored them with copics as well. I used some Flower Soft Polor white on his coat, glove, and hat.

For my Design paper I used is Snow Village stack. And the border is a sticker border is Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride sheet..

Ribbon is from my stash.
Snowflakes are from my glitter collection.
Dots are Candy Dots

For my image I used CottageCutz Reindeer & Tree Ornament, which I cut out using white card stock, and then colored using copic markers in G28(for trre), E31,E37,E57(Reindeer), BG000 for the swirls, but then I covered them up using polar white flower soft. LOVE the look of the ornament here.



For the branches I used a punch, and for the circles I used a circle die. Ribbon is from my stash,and is the satin, and velvet. Dp is " SNOW VILLAGE! I have to say I LOVE this Christmas Collection!!! Talk about beautiful design paper, it has so many to choose from, and the deer is one of my favorites :)
