Winter Ski

Hi everyone. I hope the Holidays was filled with love and lots of food. I am back sharing a card to close out the season today using Winter Ski trip. 

I used a variety of glitter paper to create layers for this card. I wanted to show how simple and clean you can make a simply buy using card the Cottage Cutz dies due to all the layers you get one one piece. 

I layered the mountains over each other to make it look like several mountains but alternated the colors. 

I hope you all enjoyed my post and I hope the New Year is amazing for everyone. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead.

Winter Ice Skate Decor Shadow Box

Happy Sunday funday Scrapping Cottage friends! 

Melinda here with another fun project. I created this pretty winter mini shadow box décor piece using the Holiday Ice Skate Floral die set and the pierced circle die set.

I started by using this cute shadow box I picked up at the dollar store. I pulled off the helmet and then used some cardstock and a piece of patterned paper for the background.  I just cut them to size and adhered them right over the orange papered background.

I die cut out the two largest circles from the Circle Pierced set. I didn't have the right color blue cardstock, so I used my marker to color just the edges of the smaller one. I then cut out a 3" circle using some patterned paper for an additional layer. 

Here is a closer look at the assembled foliage. I started by cutting them all out in plain white cardstock. I then used my various markers to color them in. I layered the bow with an extra base piece and some foam tape in between the layers. For the flower I just curled the petals and put a flat back pearl in the center. 

Here is a close up of the skates. I am trying to show you that I added some shimmery pearl chalk to them. The are super pretty in person. Here if you look closely you will see the shimmer on the right skate. The left skate doesn't have the shimmer yet for comparison.

Here is my assembled piece. Ready to go into the shadow box.

Here is another view of the finished piece. It will sit on my entrance table with the rest of my wintery décor for this wintery season.

Silent Night Holy Night

Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you this special Saturday edition of the Blog. It's Christmas Day! We here at the Scrapping Cottage are sending a Merry Christmas greeting to all our customers and Blog friends!

Hope you are enjoying time with family and friends today. We will be having a huge after Christmas sale starting December 26th. So, drop by the online store for big discounts on our dies. 

For today's post, I am showing one last Christmas card for the season. For me and my family this card represents the reason we celebrate Christmas. 

I used the Nativity Manger Scene die to create this card. I kept it simple with some winter themed Christmas paper for my background. I used black cardstock for the card base and then cut my manger scene in black. 

I stamped my sentiment in black ink and scattered a few glitter enamel dots for interest. That's it for me for this week. I will be back next Saturday!

Reminder: Our YouTube channel is up and running again with videos on Wednesdays. We are having a giveaway to celebrate the reopening. Check it out here.

    Happy Christmas Eve, I couldn’t really do a card without Santa on so this Will be my very last Christmas card of the year. It’s Wendy bringing you the blog today and I wish you the merriest of Christmases

Tip begin with I took a navy card and used the ‘Holiday Slimline’ to cut 2 pieces of card, one higher than the other.

I stuck the base card down with glue but in my usual style I 3D’s the other pice of card so that i could add item behind this piece

Next I cut out Santa, and his silly reindeer and attached these to the card with 1mm 3D foam pads. 

I then choose a range if trees from the ‘Campin Out Trees’ set and added some chalk before attaching, then to the cared periodically added with 1mm foam pads.

To finish and it’s hard to see but I used a clear ‘Winks of Stella’ pen on the trees to make then glisten and we are done!

Again Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones and I hope you’ve been good and Santa puts something nice in your stocking 

Hugs

Wendy

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
