CottageCutz Focus Week-Holiday Treat Holders

 Hello every and welcome to a project for Focus Week at CottageCutz.  It's Carol here today. We are making Holiday Treat Holders for inspiration for the week.  This treat holder is fun, fast, and inexpensive.  It's made with a paper bag.  If you would like to see how to create this I have an explanation here.

 The paper bag is folded and stitched, then layered with paper and embellishments.  You can fill both pockets with candy, or just one pocket and make a fun tag for the other pocket.  All the treat holders have the North Pole Tag Topper and the Poinsettia & Holly die.  This treat bag uses the Merry Christmas Filigree Die.

 For this treat bag the CottageCutz Santa Giving Gifts die is the main focal point.  Don't you just love that Santa peeking out of the pocket.  He looks so super cute.  If you are thinking of making these the Santa's come from Walmart-3 for a dollar.

For this treat holder has the CottageCutz Santa with Tree die.  The designer paper used for these treat bags is Authentique named "Believe". 

Last but not least, this treat bag holder uses the Elf with Toys die.  All the dies were cut with cardstock and only distress inks were used to highlight them.  Thank you so much for joining me today and viewing these treat bag holders.  Just want to share a little inspiration to help you with your gift giving needs.  Until next time......Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used.

CottageCutz Focus Week - Holiday Treat Holder

Hello and welcome to our Holiday Treat Holder Focus Week. 

Vladka here today!

I decided to create something for Thanksgiving and came up with picnic basket. I created template by myself and after the base was cut out, I cut out also a looooot of stripes and weaved them together to get the look of real weave basket. I did this separate, not directly on my basket. I glued weaves parts afterwards and cut away the excess. I did the same with basket cover, which can be open on each side or removed completely to easily get the treats. After basket was finished, I distressed all sides with brown distress inks. And of course I used a lot of different dies from On the Farm release and all of them are listed at the end of this post. So, if you are interested, just click on the picture and this will get you directly to the die in Scrapping Cottage store.

And this is not all my friends. Also this time we will be giving away a gift certificate for $15.00 to shop at the Scrapping Cottage Store. All you have to do is, to comment on each post for that week here in CottageCutz blog (between 18th and 25th of November) and one lucky winner will be announced on November 28th. 

So, good luck!

CottageCutz Turkey Altered Candle

Hello crafters and welcome to another Thanksgiving project share from the "On the Farm" Collection from CottageCutz.  Today I am excited to show you this altered candle from the dollar store.  I have been wanting to do something with one of these fun candles for some time.  You can just about see the glow in this picture.  It's a color changing candle with a flicker light on the top.  Imagine how pretty this will be on your Thanksgiving table.  It was fast, fun, and easy to create.

The Turkey die from CottageCutz is mounted directly on the candle.  To color the Turkey, Brushed Corduroy and Barn Door distress inks were used.   The Sunflowers is another pretty CottageCutz die that were cut on yellow cardstock and lightly inked with Brushed Corduroy as well and glitter with Diamond stickles.  The bottom is a scalloped Spellbinders die with a circle of Thanksgiving designer paper mounted on top.  The same paper was cut 1/4 inch and glued to the top of the candle.

Here it's shown on top of a candlestick-which is also a great look to give it some height on the table.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I appreciate your visit.  Until next time,  Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:

Hello everyone, Todays Christmas Card was designed using CottageCutz Christmas dies for todays Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge.

 Absolutely LOVE this DARLING CottageCutz Snowman Cupcake from the Scrapping Cottage, isn't he too SWEET???!!!! He was super easy to put together too!!!

CottageCutz Snowman Cupcake I cut him in white card stock and colored him using copics R39, E55, and G09. his eyes, and mouth is done using Black Viva pearl pen.

Embellishments- Design paper is Merrymint collection. Love this collection, as its super cute! Ribbon is from my stash, and the sparkle brads are from the warehouse sale here in Utah. I did stamp the sentiment using an old stamp. for the edges on the center panel I used a Punch.

Happy Thanksgiving card

Hi there and welcome to CottageCutz Blog with new CottageCutz project on.

Today I am sharing with you my new Thanksgiving card I created with  beautiful NEW CottageCutz On the Farm Release

 

 

 

The finished card measures 4 1/2" x 5 1/2".

To make card, start by cutting green card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score and fold crease to make card base.

 

 

 First, start by cutting Turkey out using Light brown card stock. Next, coloring image using the Copic Airbrushing system and Copic markers (Y15, R24, E13, E15). To make image more real, put under image the brown card stock and glue.Decorate turkey with white gel pen, glitter pen and small wiggly eye.

The next step is background on card. First, emboss white panel using Cuttlebug embossing folder. Next, stamp square background stamp on embossed panel  and decorate with Stabilo red and yellow fine point pen. Stamp sentiment using orange craft glue. To finish card, add turkey to embossed panel and to base card.

CottageCutz Deer Tag Gift Set

Greetings everyone and welcome to another CottageCutz Creation......Warning-this is a very heavy photo post with lots of ideas for tags and possible gift giving creation.  It's Carol here today.  Hope you'll grab yourself a nice warm cozy drink while you browse these pretty tags.   What you see here is a box purchased from "Dollar General".  We have a lot of these stores in the South.  I thought this box was so pretty and super cute.  I did not cover the pretty design with another paper.  I just added die cuts to it to compliment the tags I created to go inside.

This is called the Frosty and Friends Scene die.  Isn't it darling.  If fit perfectly on the back of the box.  I just had to use it there.

As you have probably guessed by now, I created tags to go inside this pretty box.  It's a super cute give to give to a friend and would also make a great swap gift.  The tags are 4-3/4" x 3".  The heavy Michael's cardstock was used for the base and Authentique "Believe" paper is the background.  This tag uses Merry Christmas Reindeer.  The die was cut twice.  Once on dark brown card stock and red cardstock.  The Merry Christmas was layered in red on top of the die.  The flower is the Poinsettia & Holly die and was used on all the tags that have flowers.

Oh this is so cute.  I can't help myself.  This is called Santa with Reindeer Sleigh.  The sleigh was cut on matte gold cardstock, the Santa on red and his bags on green and the reindeer on dark brown cardstock.  I used two reindeers so it would like Santa was taking off.   The Noel die is from the "Expressions" line and also used several times throughout to keep with the theme.

For the layering on these tags, I cut dark brown cardstock a 1/4" less that the base and used the dark brown to highlight the deer in these tags.  The designer paper was also cut 1/4" less than the brown cardstock.  This die is called Filigree Deer.

The center of the tags use the Spellbinders Scalloped Circle and the Circle die.  They are layered on top of a small Wilton Doily.  This tag uses the Majestic Deer die and the Wintry Trees Die.

For the ribbon on the tags white seam binding was used for the tie and the bow.  All the little embellishments are Recollection from Michael's.  This die is the Deer with Pine Trees.  The Fir Tree die was also used to create a forest feel to the background.

For this tag the Fir Tree die was used again for the background.  The trees were painted with puff paint, dipped in glitter, and dried with a heat gun to make the paint puff up like snow.  This is from the Deer Standing and Sitting die.  Of course this is the deer sitting, but the deer standing was used on both of the sides of the box that house these tags for gift giving.

This tag features Deer W/ Birch Trees.   The Fir Tree Die was used again to intertwine in the background for a wintery forest look.

For this tag the Whimsical Deer with Bird was used.  For the flower the ivy was used on this tag to expand the floral arrangement.

This tag features the Stag with Poinsettia die.  You can see where this theme is going right!  I just love this tag set.  I had so much fun creating it.

Here are the tags nestled inside the box ready for gift giving.  Sure do hope you enjoyed viewing this creation and maybe got
