CottageCutz Lantern Christmas Card

Hello Paper Crafters.  It's Carol here today.  Is this not a classic looking Christmas card or what!  This beautiful Lantern & Poinsettia die from CottajgeCutz is just amazing.  There is absolutely nothing not to like about this die. 
To create this beautiful card the die was cut on black cardstock.  The "light" area of the lantern was created by cutting a piece of white cardstock and coloring with copic markers to make it look like a light inside.  The Poinsettia and Ivy die was used on top of the floral area of this lantern die for dimension and embellishment.  A Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page and Spellbinders dies were used for background accent.  Red glittered corrugated paper from Michael's was used as well.
The little sentiment is a stick from Michael's that I had in my stash for a while.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Sure do appreciate it.  Until next time......Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used.

Next step is cutting Merry Christmas Filigree using white card stock. 
Than, cut original circle with circle die, using blue card stock, bigger than Merry Christmas Filigree circle. Glue sentiment image on it and decorate with ribbon and rhinestones.

Santa Snowglobe

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
 
 
 
On my card I used the sweet CottageCutz dies. They are older ones, but super cute.

The CottageCutz Snowglobe was cute using white card stock and then I airbrushed the globe with BG000, next I colored the base with G28, and the other pieces with R59, and bow with R59, and R37. I also added some glitter to it.

For the CottageCutz Snowglobe Accessories I used the Santa and sign pieces, and colored them with copics as well. I used some Flower Soft Polor white on his coat, glove, and hat.

For my Design paper I used is Snow Village stack. And the border is a sticker border is Crate Paper's Sleigh Ride sheet..

Ribbon is from my stash.
Snowflakes are from my glitter collection.
Dots are Candy Dots
 
Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,

Winter Sleigh Ride/Black Friday Sale


 Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all!
Today I wanted to share 1 of the cards I made for Splitcoaststampers Challenge using the Beautiful CottageCutz Winter Sleigh Ride Scene. AlsoThe Scrapping Cottage is having its BLACK FRIDAY SALE right now through December 3rd, perfect time to stock up on your WISH LIST items

This card was super simple to make and took me no time at all.

I cut a piece of dp, and then cut my CottageCutz Winter Sleigh Ride Scene, and sprayed glue, and added glitter, super easy! Then attached the scene to the design paper.

Net I cut a piece of white dp, that has some kind of snowflakes and such, its very faint, but beautiful in person. I used a ruler and cut the shaped piece so it would match the sketch for today. I added my ribbon, and sentiment, and lastly my bow and brad.

I absolutely LOVE all the Christmas CottageCutz dies that were released this year. There are so many beautiful ones to choose from. If you haven't had a chance to take a peek, you might want to stop by the Scrapping Cottage and see :) Have fun!
Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

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.:
