CottageCutz Altered Tin Ornaments&Black Friday Sale

Hello crafts and welcome to another CottageCutz project.  It's Carol here today.  Christmas is in full swing at my house, how about you.  Today is a project share of some altered tin Christmas ornaments.  Aren't they cute.  These CottageCutz dies make the cutest gifts.

 The Scrapping Cottage is having its BLACK FRIDAY SALE right now through December 3rd, perfect time to stock up on your WISH LIST items

For the first ornament we have this adorable Wind Up Teddy Bear from Cottagecutz.  I just love teddy bears and this one is super cute.  Along with the Wind Up Teddy Bears there are several other dies on this ornament.  In the background are the Fur Trees.  Then the Poinsettia and Holly for Embellishment.  Last but not least the beautiful Christmas Greeting die.  Designer paper was mounted to the bottom of this tin and some tinsel trim was glued around the bottom,
This ornament uses the darling Reindeer W/Scarf die.  Again the Fur Trees, Poinsettia & Holly, and Christmas Greeting dies were used to decorate the tin.  A bow made with seam binding was tied on top of the original twine for the hanging loop.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Remember if you have older ornaments that you don't use anymore, you can change them into something beautiful again with just a few dies.  Don't be afraid to experiment.  Until next time.......Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used.:

CottageCutz Focus Week-Holiday Treat Holders

Hello everyone and welcome to the final day of our Holiday Treat Holder Focus week!  It's Carol here today.  For the last project I wanted to share this really sweet Owl in Pumpkin die.  This treat holder is an altered Glassine bag.  To create, just use some pretty fall papers, a spellbinders oval die, and a Martha Stewart Border punch glue to the top and bottom.  A little seam binding ribbon and a tiny clothespin will top off the embellishments.  Aren't these cute? 
There small but no worries.  You want to know why?   They are going to be placed at the table at each place setting and they will hold a "little" treat.  Want to know what it is????  lol  Well how about some movie tickets for Thanksgiving evening.  Isn't that fun.  After dinner, football, and washing dishes what better way to spend the evening watching a great movie.  This little holder is the perfect surprise.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Sure to appreciate it.  Be sure to leave a comment for your last chance at the prize today.  Happy Crafting!

CottageCutz Focus Week-Holdiay Treat Holders

 Hello friends and crafters. It's Carol here.  Today is a fun project share for the CottageCutz Focus week featuring Holiday Treat Holders.   These fun treat boxes are what is called a Pyramid Box which creates this fun tree shaped box.  The front of the box opens once you untie the ribbon at top and can be filled with goodies and/or a gift card.  Super cute and a fun way to give a gift.
 This box uses the CottageCutz Wind Up Mouse die.  All the poinsettia are the CottageCutz Poinsettia and Holly die.  The December 25th stamp is from this year's Michael's dollar bin.  The star is a marvey punch on gold glitter paper.
 The tree bases are empty thread spools.  They are altered with gold glitter washi tape and glued in the middle on the bottom of the boxes.  The trim around the box is a Martha Stewart Border punch with gold bling glued on top.
 This box features the CottageCutz Holiday Reindeer die.  All dies were cut with various colored cardstock and paper pieced.
 The last box features the Snowman Cupcake Die from Cottagecutz.  He is super adorable.  I love his peppermint buttons.  He was shaded with a couple Copic markers in B000 and B001
 This is how the box looks when it is untied and opened.  It holds a good bit of items depending on what you place inside.
Thank you so much for stopping by for some Holiday Treat Holder inspiration.  It was a pleasure to share with you some ideas.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used.

Hello everyone from Olena, and welcome to CottageCutz Focus Week

For my HolidayTreat Holders I used a clear plastic treat bags from local craft store, CottageCutz " Frosty Friends Border" die from Holiday 2015 collection and candy.

 

First, cut piece of red paper to 3" x 3.1/2" and fold crease to make base for top of treat holder. Next, cut border out using white card stock, sponge with blue craft ink and glue to red background. Glue background to clear bag with double tape. Very easy project for school. 

Don't forget to put candy to the bag.

CottageCutz Focus Week/Holiday Treat Holders

Update: Blog Hop Winners will be announced on Thursday November 26th! Thank you all!
Hello everyone, and welcome to CottageCutz Focus Week!
On the CottageCutz blog we will be sharing Holiday Treat Holders, leave a comment as you will be entered to WIN a Gift Certificate to the Scrapping Cottage Store.

Cheryl here today with 2 treat holders I made!
 
For my Thanksgiving Treat Holders I used a piece of card stock scored it 3 times to make a triangle type holder. Put a slit in the top, so it could hold a candy, super easy!


To decorate the front I used the DARLING "On The Farm" Release from the Scrapping Cottage, and then colored them with copics. Added some flowers, and ribbon and done!
 
All CottageCutz Die photo's are linked below. Please just click on one of the photo's to take you to tat item :)

For the tree here above I used the Airbrushing system with copic markers.

For the tree above, I used some paints to give it a different look

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