Holy Night

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very Blessed New Year!  My last Christmas card for the season is featuring the true meaning of Christmas.  I love cards that bring this message to friends and family.  I am using the Nativity Ornament w/Harp.

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base, silver 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, snowy DP 4 x 5 1/4 and using the second from the largest Wide Rectangle Frame die cut out 3 grey DP frames then glue them together

2.  Glue the silver to the white card base then glue the blue snowy DP to the silver

3. Using the Nativity Ornament w/Harp die cut it out of the silver paper.  Using a fine tip glue adhere it to the middle of the card as show above

4.  Place dimensional adhesive strips to the back of the frame and then pop it to the card front over the nativity scene as shown

5.  Using the Holy Nativity die cut out just the sentiment 3 times in a lightly striped DP.  Glue them together and then glue to the frame as shown below.  Add the bow and your card is complete

Winter Chalet

Happy Wednesday!  This is Marla, back with another YouTube tutorial over on the CottageCutz YouTube Channel.  I hope everyone is ready for Christmas and have finished with the majority of your preparations.  It's time to sit back and enjoy this special holiday with family and friends.

Once the festivities are over, we are left with winter.  For some this is fabulous news and for others, not so much.  One thing we can agree on is the beauty of fresh snow.  If you're a skier, it means more time outside on the slopes.  Which is where this card brings us.  To that sweet little chalet in the mountains. The Winter Release is available now in the Scrapping Cottage and is packed full of adorable critters and mountain homes to create the frosty winter wonderland of your choice.

Please join me here to see how this "thinking of you" card came together and to find out who won the last giveaway!  The Scrapping Cottage is so incredibly generous that they are also giving away this "Winter Chalet" die to one lucky winner.  Head over to see how you can win or if you won the "Winter Houses" die from my last video.

Merry Christimas... Marla

Santa’s Final Deliveries

Hello CottageCutz fans and happy Tuesday. It’s Wendy brining you the blog today and it’s Only 4 days left until the big day now so this will probably be my last Christmas post.

So today I have taken a card measuring 5.5” x 4.5”. From this I have cut the largest nesting rectangle in the middle of the card. On the back of the card as you can see I have applied blue card.

Next I have varying layers of white glitter card. I have made them look like hills by using the ‘Hills Slimline’ die. Each layer of the card has someone unique to add some variation. I can’t help myself but use the ‘Campin Out Trees’ die. Santa’s is also here with his mug of hot cocoa. He’a had a long night ahead of so he’s earned it LOL.

I have also used the beautiful house ‘From the Winter Houses 2’. They remind me of being in San Francisco. Finally Santa has his bag and there’s is another tree at the top of the card.

I really hope you like the card and are all set for the big day. I have several things on my list but they will get done. I will be back with a full tutorial on Friday (Christmas Eve), but in the meantime have s lovely week.

Hugs Wendy

Easy Ornament Scene

Hi everyone I am here sharing a fun home Decor Christmas ornament the kids made this weekend. My daughter had a party and I bought these mason jar looking ornaments. We came up with this fun scene using the latest Winter Whimsical Winter die just one of so many cute new cuts. 

Now look at the possibilities you can make using this set with ornaments. They all fit inside the ornament which is plastic by the way. 

To get the pieces to stand I put some foam and adhered it to the lid and cut slits for my pieces

To stand in. Super easy and so much fun. 

I sure hope everyone gives it a shot and Happy Holidays everyone from our family to yours!!

 

Super easy to make and fun. Don’t forget to check out our YouTube Channel that is full of fun new projects.

I Heart U Winter Ski Trip Card

Happy Sunday Scrapping Cottage friends! 

Melinda here with a cute wintery themed project share. Here's a look at my card.

My card features dies from the new Winter Release Bundle. I created this top folding A4 card with the Winter Dog and Snowman,  and the Winter Ski Trip die.

I cut all of my pieces out on plain white cardstock. I then used my chalks and markers to color them in.

Here is a closer look at the cute ski lift gondolas. I colored them with my markers and added the I {Heart} U. I also added a little bit of white puffy pain to the top to give them the appearance of snow on the top.

Here's a closer look at the trees and mountains. I staggered and layered the mountains. I then put in some of the trees and staggered them among the mountains as well. I used a combination of puffy pain and stickles to give them a little touch.

All of my dies and the entire scene were layered onto a white cardstock base. I used a combination of my markers and chalks to color the sky and the snow base.

Here's a closer look at the sweet little Winter Dog and Snowman. They are adorable!

Winter Bear on Sled (New die)

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The Winter Release with 15 new designs is in the online store. They are perfect for creating cards for all your winter celebrations. You can pick them up on a limited time 30% off sale.

I am using the new Winter Bear on Sled die to create a birthday card for my brother. His birthday is mid-January, and I like to make him winter themed cards that are on the whimsical side. So, let's get started with some details on jhow I created my card. 

Design Steps:

I started this week by selecting my designer paper. I wanted something with background trees and falling snow for a more masculine look. I found the perfect one in my Christmas papers. Since it has neutral colors, I knew it would work with most colors for the bear. 

Bermuda bay card base: 5 5 /8" x 4 1/4"

Brushed silver layering panel: 5 1/2" x 4 1/8"

Designer paper layer: 5 3/8" x 4"

Next, I cut the bear on the sled in a variety of bright colors. I wanted it to stay masculine and I achieved that with the blue and red shades I chose.

I cut a hilly slope for the sled ride using the Hills Slimline die. I stamped my sentiment on the slope in ink that coordinates with the bears snow pants. I just bought the stamp set that has the months of the year. 

Now that my elements are prepared, I am ready to start card assembly. I attached the designer paper to the silver layer with double sided tape and then to the card base. I decided to add some chunky glitter for added interest. 

For the bear image I used dimensional adhesive to lift him slightly off the background. It adds a bit more depth to your card. 

To finish off my card I scattered a few enamel dots in the lipstick shade of the bear's shirt. And, that's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you an idea for a way to use this new Bear on Sled die. He is just too cute. See you next Saturday!

Santa’s Lost his sleigh

Good morning Cottagecutz fans. I trust you have had a great week. Hopefully you’ve broken up for Christmas now and are watching Christmas movies, eating mice pies and maybe a glass of eggnog

It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I’ve made this shaker card and Santa had lost his sleigh. 

Here’s how I made it.

I took the largest rectangle and cut in out in blue and white. I took the white card and used the ‘Hills Slimline’ to make some snowy hills.

Next I took the largest ‘Nested Scalloped and cut out in blue card. I then attached some snowy acetate to the back of the card. 

Next I cut out all the elements that I wanted on my vCard. unfortunately I had to chop off Santa’s feet so he fitted in the car lol!

I then assembled the card and added a cute little sentiment and Sonne little snow shapes.

So to finish I added some chunky glitter and attached the card with the acetate with with 3D foam pads and we are done

I really hope you like the card today. I wish you a wonderful weekend with plenty of crafting time and I will see you on Tuesday for another exciting blog post

Hugs

Wendy
