Card like wrap gift

Hi, Vladka here! 
I couldn't wait to get CottageCutz Homemade Christmas Gift Set. Set is really amazing and contains 21 dies and 7 clear stamps. I was like a child when I get it. I put out all the dies and stamps in immediately ideas were flowing through my head. First idea, when I saw all bows was, to create card like wrap gift and I created two:
On both cards I used the two biggest bows and put them one on another. On the first one the bows are red, coloured with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. I also cut out two stripes and coloured them red. I also added Christmas Tree Tag and one of the Greetings Phrase.
On the second card, bows and stripes are coloured with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and I cut out and coloured also the Glove Tag. Also here I added Greetings Phrase.
Have a great day!

Elegant Holiday Pocket

Hello everyone, today I am sharing a super fun & Easy Fancy Double Holiday Pocket, with 2 tags that I made  using the DARLING CottageCutz Dies


I made my pocket just using a piece of 4 1/2" x 11 white cardstock, folded in half to make it measure
 4 1/2" x 5 1/2 
then used scoretape on just the sides to close it. Next I  covered the front with dp, and then cut the the Half Circle off the middle of the top, that way the bow could set there.

I cut my CottageCutz Confectionery pocket with a coordinating design paper from the same stack, then used the mini pom pom along the bottom and top of that pocket. I used Camille Lace along the bottom of my large pocket, and the netting and seam binding to create my bow.I had a lot of fun creating this Holiday Double Pocket.






Supplies:
Really Reasonable Ribbon/ Scor Tape 1/4"
Really Reasonable Ribbon Seam Binding PInk and Blue
RRR White netting
RRR/White Mini Pom Pom/Camille Lace
/Sweetheart Blossom White & Foam Tabs
Stampin Up! Stamp
DCWV/Tis the Season Pack
\
Dakota was dusted with distressed inks, then I added the flowers to make him a her....hehehehe I added the pearls for her spots, and love the look of her. Next I cut out the snowflake border with white card stock, and the snowflakes are cut with white and cream. I added a flower to the tag inside the confectionery bag. Love how fun and easy this was to make!

thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

Dear Santa....

Hello again!
It's Simona with you today.


Isn't this teddy bear from the 


Here is how I used the teddy bear on the card. I cut all the dies
once out of white cardstock and colored all the pieces with
Distress Inks - Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, Antique Linen,
Barn Door, Fired brick, Peeled Paint, Pine Needles and
Black Soot. To stamp the snowflakes for the background and
on the inside of the card, I used Weathered Wood.
I only stamped snowflakes at the top of the background and 
at the sides. Then I placed the paper into the brick embossing
folder and dry embossed it only there, where I didn't stamp
the snowflakes. Once I did that I used Weathered Wood 
Distress Ink and just lightly brushed it across the embossed area.


The sentiment "Dear Santa" is also from the 
Homemade Christmas Gift Set. I used the hot embossing
technique with a fine gold embossing powder.


And here is a closer look at the teddy bear, 
dreaming about Santa... :). 


Thank you for stopping by today!
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Hugs,
Simona

Winterland Village card

Hello Everyone from Olena

Today, I am sharing a Beautiful 3D Dimentions Winterland Village card 
I created with Beautiful NEW Winter CottageCutz Collections 2013.

Dear Santa


Happy Wednesday everyone!

Kathy with you and today I have a card using the Homemade Christmas Gift Set and Elegant Flurry Snowflake Die.  This time I'm using the deer die cut from the gift set for my main image...so cute!





Also from the set, I included one of the bows and "Dear Santa" die cuts using red cardstock and one of the setiment stamps. On the top left corner, is a little piece of the Elegant Flurry Snowflake Die from the Winter Wonderland Release cut with white cardstock...what a stunning die this is!

Here's a little close up of the deer scene for you.




To make my card, I cut the deer die with white, green, grey, kraft, and red using little pieces/scraps. The deer and wood post are made with kraft cardstock and shaded with Jumbo Java Ink. I added the hooves with black cardstock and used a black marker for the eyes and spots. The mailbox is grey cardstock shaded with black ink and a red flag. The wreath is green and red cardstock dotted with a white gel pen. The letter and snow are white cardstock shaded with Iced Blue Ink and a red stamp for the letter.

This cute little scene is popped on a blue Christmas designer paper piece that is stamped with the sentiment using black ink. I glue this piece on a white mat embossed with a snowflake folder and popped it all on a red cardbase. To finish the card, I added a bow and "Dear Santa" die cut both in red.

Here are the dies I used for this.

CottageCutz Jolly Penguin Tag



Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a CottageCutz Jolly Penguin Christmas Tree Tag, using the Tree & Stamp from the CottageCutz Homemade Christmas Gift Set Box, and then the Penguin from the "Christmas Cheer" Release found HERE!


The CottageCutz Jolly Penguin was cut using all white card stock, then colored with copics. Next I used some Flower Soft in Polar white for his Santa Cap.

The Christmas Tree tag is from the Homemade Christmas Gift set Box and  was cut out using green scrap piece of card stock, then I distressed the edges, and used the To: and From: stamp also from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set Box . I then added some twine, and a gingham bow to the top.

CottageCutz photo's below are LINKED to the Scrapping Cottage Store for easy findings :)
Just CLICK on the photo below


 I left the string long enough to tie to a present for Christmas! Love how EASY this was to make! Perfect too for all your gifts!!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
