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.

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

Next step is cutting Merry Christmas Filigree using white card stock. 

Than, cut original circle with circle die, using blue card stock, bigger than Merry Christmas Filigree circle. Glue sentiment image on it and decorate with ribbon and rhinestones.

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

 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Winter Wonderland



 Hello everyone, and Happy Monday to all!
Cheryl here today, to share another Christmas card made using the Beautiful CottageCutz Christmas Dies.

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 :)

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Winter Sleigh Ride/Black Friday Sale



 Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all!
Today I wanted to share 1 of the cards I made for Splitcoaststampers Challenge using the Beautiful CottageCutz Winter Sleigh Ride Scene. AlsoThe Scrapping Cottage is having its BLACK FRIDAY SALE right now through December 3rd, perfect time to stock up on your WISH LIST items

This card was super simple to make and took me no time at all.

I cut a piece of dp, and then cut my CottageCutz Winter Sleigh Ride Scene, and sprayed glue, and added glitter, super easy! Then attached the scene to the design paper.

Net I cut a piece of white dp, that has some kind of snowflakes and such, its very faint, but beautiful in person. I used a ruler and cut the shaped piece so it would match the sketch for today. I added my ribbon, and sentiment, and lastly my bow and brad.
I absolutely LOVE all the Christmas CottageCutz dies that were released this year. There are so many beautiful ones to choose from. If you haven't had a chance to take a peek, you might want to stop by the Scrapping Cottage and see :) Have fun!

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Cheryl
