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.

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:

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Hi, all! Vladka here!
I just can´t wait for perfect night with a lot of snow, when everything is so peaceful and beautiful. Till then, I have this little card, which I made from white cardstock and just one Scrapping Cottage die: Snow Swept Border. This card also can be some kind of continuation of Simona´s card in previous post. On her card, Santa is flying through the night and here deer observe this. :) 
I cut it out twice. From the first die cut, I cut out the deer and all trees and colored them with Distress Inks and added them to second die cut. I also colored the card background and stamped it with snowflakes. And here it is:
I wish you all great Sunday!

Santa & Reindeer Flying



Hello everyone from Simona

Here I am with my 1st December post for
This handmade card is so simple and quick  and you can
easily mass produce it. You really don't need much
to create special handmade cards for your loved ones...

Today on 6 of December we celebrate Saint Nicholas Day.
I read in a WikipediA (The Free Encyclopedia on the Web),
 this is a festival for children in many
countries in Europe (19 December in most Orthodox countries).



First I stamped the white cardstock with the snowflake 
background stamp. I used VersaMark pad and 
sprinkled clear embossing powder over it.
Then I heated the embossing powder with the heat gun.


For the moon I cut out a circle with the circle punch and
used the double sided tape to stick it onto the background cardstock.
Then I used Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink pad to sponge/color
the whole cardstock. After I finished coloring I removed the
circle and wiped gently the whole background with a clean paper tissue.


For the top layer I used quarter of an inch larger white cardstock
and a Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five die to cut out the window 
(you can use any die you have at home to cut out the window). 
Before I glued the top layer onto the card with 
3D square foams I dry embossed it with the 
dot folder and distress the edges with the Tim Holtz distress tool.
At the end I added Santa & Reindeer Flying cut out and stamped
Wishing you a magical Christmas sentiment on the inside 
of the card. I used the red cardstock for the Santa die and 
distressed the edges with distress ink black sooth. 



Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Simona

Grandma's Goodies Tag



Happy Monday everyone!  It's Kathy here with you today with a cute gift tag I made using the Fancy Insert Card/Tag and In the Kitchen Clear Stamps by Cottage Impressions!





This tag die comes in handy for lots of things and I thought it would be perfect as a tag for baked goodies!  I LOVE the images from this stamp set, they're so cute and fun to color!  (Unfortunately, I just realized the stamp set is retired now!)

Here's a close up of the pie and cookbook images.




Aren't they cute?  I stamped them on white cardstock with black ink and colored them with pencils.  I then fussy cut them which was very easy, and inked the edges a little with black.

I die cut the tag using Visions of Christmas paper by K & Co. stamped it with "Grandma's Goodies" sentiment from the set, and inked the edges with brown ink.  I added the images to the tag with pop dots and added some baby rick rack.  I punched a hole in the tag and added some white jute for a tie and then added a bow, button and twine.

Here are the Scrapping Cottage stamp and die I used:
