Beautiful Poinsettia & Holly/Video Tutorial/Giveaway

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I just had to share a card I made using CottageCutz Beautiful Poinsettia & Holly die. I made this for last weeks sketch challenge on SCS, super fun!!!
 

 For my card I used the Beautiful Poinsettia CottageCutz Christmas die, and colored with copics  R37, R39 , E08, YG03 , YG95. I added some gold gala glitz to the center to finish up the poinsettia.  The holly was colored using the YG copics listed above.
Design paper is Snow Village from Pink Paislee. LOVE this collection, its absolutely beautiful!!! Its an older collection from 2013 but still LOVE it!

For my sentiment I stamped it in memento black ink, and then distressed the tag using brushed corduroy and barn door.
Ribbon is from my stash, its GOLD and I hardly ever use it, but when I put it up to this card, I knew it was perfect to complete this one.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

CottageCutz Halloween Matchboxes & Giveaway

Welcome papercrafts and friends to another CottageCutz creation for Halloween. It's Carol here today.  You know you have those special "Trick-or-Treaters" that you just want to just do a little something extra for.  These are so stinking cute.  They are matchboxes created with the beautiful CottageCutz dies.  These little boxes will put a smile on the recipients face.  How about the teller at the bank, the cashier at the grocery store, a child's special teacher, or your co-workers.  These will add some fun to you Halloween festivities!
 You can find directions of making your matchbox tutorials on youtube or perhaps you own a matchbox die.  This matchbox was created with black cardstock and cover with Halloween cardstock on the outside only leaving a 1/4" edge,  The orange burlap is from the "Dollar Tree".  The spider is a Recollection embellishment.  Use any square die that fits you diecut image and top of box.  The Cottage cutz die here is the Witch on Broom.  The rose was created on orange cardstock with a 5 petal medium Marvey punch that are destressed with black soot ink and the leaves are the frond punch mounted on a seam binding bow.
This box uses the same basic design but with the CottageCutz Pumpkin and Bat die,  I backed the pumpkin with black cardstock because I liked the way it looked and it made it show up well.
The third and last matchbox uses the same basic design with the CottageCutz Cat w/Pumpkins.  The die was cut on Orange Designer Paper and again on Black Cardstock.  Cut the just the cat from the black cardstock and mount it on top of the cat cut from the Orange Designer paper.  The pumpkins were backed with golden yellow cardstock to match the polkadots in the Designer paper.  The "Boo" embellishment is Recollection.
Thank you so much for stopping by today to view these sweet Matchboxes.   Be sure to make something cute for those special people in your life.  It just makes a memorable moment.  Until next time......Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:

Don't be angry with me, Santa + Giveway

Hi all. Vladka here today!
I have to admit, I did it also these year. I wasn't good and I promised Santa previous year. And now he has enough and doesn't want to talk to me and reindeer either. Is there still enough time to change this? 
Cards can be fun, don't you think? I surely had fun creating it, specially because new CottageCutz Christmas dies are so adorable. I used Santa and Reindeer Resting die and kraft cardstock this time and stamped background with stamp and white pigment ink. I also used white watercolor tube and put it some on my craft sheet and added some water. Then I used sheet of plastic acetate, gentle press it into the white color and carried it to paper, to get some white splodges. Edges were distressed with edge distresser and after that with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. All die cuts were also colored with different Distress Inks. Text was printed directly on paper, I just added "Dear Santa" expression. Die is part of Christmas Gift set.
