Cottage Cutz Harvest Treat Boxes

Hi CottageCutz lovers, it's Carol here today!  Need a fun little gift box/pouch?  Well I have just the little item for you.  And to top it off, these are SUPER EASY to make.  I see you over there saying, yeah she says easy-maybe for her.....right....lol  Well let me tell you these are really envelopes.  Yes, that's right envelopes.  The kraft envelopes you find at Michael's with the corrugated cards inside.  So you say great, love these but what am I going to do with all the leftover cards?  Well, I will show you on November 11 what to make with the card.  Hint....Hint....If you love these, you will love what I show you next!!!!!
 
Let's begin with the Sunflower.  I have a thing for Sunflowers.  This was created with the Cottagecutz Harvest Sunflower, Harvest Vine, and Harvest Fall Corner.  I also used the Harvest Oak Leaf, Elegant Harvest Leaf, and the Harvest Oak Leaf from Cottagecutz.  I created my sunflower with the Sunflower Spellbinders die and mounted the Harvest Sunflower on a Spellbinders Tag.
For this pouch I used the Harvest Vine Border, Harvest Fall Corner, Harvest Apple Tree, and the Harvest Apple Basket.  I used some lace trim from my stash and a fabric flower for decoration.  It even has apple designer paper covering the envelope.

Have you noticed that Owls seem to be all the rage this year.  I have seen some of the cuties Owl Christmas decorations.  So I just had to make an owl pouch.  I used the Fall Owl Border, Harvest Fall Corner, the Harvest Owl and the Sprig Vine Mini.  The flowers are Recollection and I used some bronze glitter on my die cuts for sparkle.
This is what the inside of the pouch looks like.  You can fit a good bunch of stuff in there.  Aren't these really cool.  I have seen quite a few of these on YouTube.  The tutorial for how to create these can be found here.
Thanks so much for stopping by today to see my project.  I sure to appreciate it.  Remember to come back on November 11 and I will show you want to do with the cards.  You'll be creating some cute little projects in no time.  Happy Crafting!!!  These are the dies used:

Cupcakes

Hi everybody! Vladka here with you today!

The same die and two cards for different occasions.  I used Cupcakes and Toppers die and created one with Halloween theme and the another for birthday.
Here is the first one which was fateful for witch, because she didn´t navigated very good with her broom and she ended in the cupcake :) I found the sentiment on the Pinterest and I think is funny and perfect for this motive.
The second one is cute and perfect for simple and quick birthday card. The sentiment is in Slovenian language and it means: "Friendship is not the big thing, is a million little things."
Enjoy your day! See you soon!

Flip Christmas Ornament Card


Beautiful Wednesday everyone!

Here I am (Simona) with a new Flip Christmas card for 
I love making different shapes of cards and
this is one of them.
Any symmetrical die will work for this style of the card.
I used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Twenty.


For the base of the card you need a thicker DP
that has pattern on one side and is blank on the other.
Since I didn't have that I cut two pieces for the base,
size 4 1/4" x 11". One out of white paper and the other
one out of pattern paper and glued them together.


As a focal point I used CottageCutz Snowflake Ornament die 
and cut it out twice out of glitter paper. You want the ornament 
to look the same on both sides ones you flip/open the card.


When you are making this style of cards you have to be careful 
to pick again a symmetrical die. This is important when you
glue them together and they fit perfectly.


I kept the card pretty simple and just added
Merry Christmas greeting from the
 also cut out of glitter paper.

Thank you for visiting again! I really appreciate it!

Hugs,
Simona

Acorn Owl card

Hello Everyone from Olena

Next, I assembled and glued image together. Decorate owl with ribbon and small buttons.

 
Added image to card and stamped sentiment "Thanks". Decorate card with Dew Drops and rhinestones.

Grapevine Wreath

It's Kathy here with you today!  I can't believe it's November already!  Time is going by so quickly, before you know it will be Thanksgiving!  With that in mind, today I have a Thanksgiving Card to show you that I made using Build-A-Grapevine Wreath and Fall Owl Border, 2 new CottageCutz Dies from The Scrapping Cottage's Harvest Release.






To make my card, I started with a French Roast card base and added a mat of Very Vanilla Cardstock embossed with Rebecca Embossing Folder and inked with brown.  I cut the wreath with a bunch of scraps of browns, greens, oranges, and reds, shaped and inked the pieces and assembled them together.  The owl border was cut with French Roast and Quicksand Cardstock.  I taped the back of the Quicksand pieces so that the punched pieces would stay in place, then glued the French Roast border over it.  I then cut the border in pieces so I could add the owls around the wreath.  I also added a couple of extra acorns and a jute bow and button with twine in it to finish it off!

  
Here's a close up of the wreath and the little owls.  These little guys are so cute!




These are the dies I used on this:

Lil Monsters Bash 1 Card

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with the CottageCutz Lil Monsters Bash 1, absolutely LOVE these lil monsters. 

For the monsters I cut them out in white, and then rubbed them in glue, then dipped them in Black Gala Glitz, and another glitz. Love the look this glitter glass gives to the little monsters, super fun and super easy to decorate them up!

The treat bag was colored with copic. The big bow was made using 3 different ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

For the border on the one layer I used the CottageCutz Spiderweb Border along 3 sides of my layer. Love the look of this.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,

CottageCutz Vintage Tin Ornament

Hello Papercrafters!  No doubt about it!  I just adore this sweet little Bear!  He is from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set along with that sweet Poinsettia.  I was in the Dollar General the other day perusing the Christmas Ornament isle and came across these vintage tart tins.  They are adorable, so I had to buy a selection of the different colors.  I knew I was going to alter them to my personal taste.
I used watercolor paper to create my bear.  Not only do I love the way it took the distress ink, but I love the texture it has.  It just adds a little "extra" to the attractiveness of the bear.  I also used a nice chunky glitter for his hat and rhinestones for the holly berries.
My bells are from my stash that I had back in my sewing days.  They have to be 20 years old....lol  They were tarnished somewhat.  I just painted them with glue and rolled them around in silver glitter.  I love how they look. 
I just love the Winter Pine Branch die.  It is my go-to die for wispy pine branches this season.  The little snowflakes were punched with a Martha Stewart punch.    Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciate it.  Happy Crafting!  Here are the dies I used:
