Christmas Tags & Card


Hello everyone, Cheryl here with 2 super fun Christmas Tags made for The Scrapping Cottage using the Darling CottageCutz dies.

For my 1st tag here
 I used the super sweet CottageCutz Jolly Cardinal, colored her with copics and then layered my tag with the CottageCutz Winter frost border and the Fancy Flurry Snowflake. Next I cut out the Merry Christmas with the die from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set.. The dp is from StampinUp! and so is the stamp. Love how fun these tags are to make!



My 2nd tag
I used the Sweet CottageCutz Dakota & Daisy die, the Tree's are from the Homemade Christmas gift Set. and the snowflake is the Cottagecutz Crystal Flurry. I also used the Winter Frost Border. I did the same thing and just layered all my pieces over the dp(SU!), and then stamped the to: and From: also from the Homemade Christmas Gift Set. All ribbons and flowers are Really Reasonable Ribbon.




***************************
Next I wanted to share a Card I Made using the Beautiful CottageCutz Snow Swept Border and CottageCutz Winter Frost Border

For the main image I used flower soft on the snow swept border, and then added some angel dust. The CottageCutz Winter Frost border does have angel dust on them both. Its hard to see in the photo


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

WinterWonderland Card

Greetings Happy Crafters!  Today it's Carol to share with you a creation made with the fabulous CottageCutz dies.  This card is called the Bendi fold and was created by my friend Bibiana.  You can see her absolutely fabulous creation here.  Thank you so much Bibiana for the inspiration.  I added something extra to the Bendi Fold--------I am going to call this card "The Tent Topper Bendi Fold"......lol
This card was so much fun to make.  I have been wanting to try it out for some time.  It is so much easier than it looks.  When I received these dies from CottageCutz, I just knew I would be doing this card with them.  I love these dies-they were perfect.
Here is my card opened up.   Everything you see here is CottageCutz dies except for the fence.  That is a Martha Stewart punch.  I used Diamond Stickle dry glitter on all the white dies.  They sparkle in real life beautifully.
Here is a list of the dies from the bottom up:  Winter Wonderland Deer (the deer were cut apart), Winter Wonderland Border (the house on the left was cut off to fit the card),  Snow Swept Border (the tree on the right side was trimmed) Winter Snowflake Wreath, and Santa & Reindeer Flying.  On the inside of the card-Winterland Village, Homemade Christmas Gift Set (the sentiment) and the Rabbit at the fence is from the Rustic Sign & Tree die.  The trees are also from the Rustic Sign & Tree Die.
Love, Love, Love this card style.  Don't you think it is perfect for these dies!  Thanks a bunch for stopping by today to view this Tent Topper Bendi Card!  Sure do appreciate it.  See you soon!

Here are the dies:

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
