Hello! This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a holiday card with one of the newest releases in the online store. There are 4 new die releases with a variety of dies for the upcoming holiday season. The best part is they are all currently on sale!
I started playing with the latest Christmas die release and cut out the pieces from the Snowman Smore die set. The tags are from the Mail Tag Set.Wednesday, October 21, 2020

Hi!
It's Anja here. I have another Christmas card for you today. This time I used Mr. & Mrs. Claus Car die from the Christmas Part 1 release.
For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz die (Mr. & Mrs. Claus Car),
- Distress Inks and Oxides,
- craft card base (12,5x17,5 cm),
- silver pigment ink,
- water spritzer,
- white acrylic paint,
- brush,
- sponge,
- embossing ink,
- white embossing powder,
- sentiment stamp,
- acrylic block,
- heat gun,
- paper glue.
First I cut and colored the car. I used Distress Inks.
Next I started on the background. This time I used Distress Oxides.
After coloring with Distress Oxides I spritzed it with water and dried it. After that I sprinkled the paper with white acrylic paint and dried it again. Last I used a small sponge and tapped white paint to the bottom. Again I dried the paper with the heat gun.
Last I added the sentiment. I embossed it directly on the card and used white embossing powder.
After that I added the card and my card was done.
That's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again next Sunday.
Anja Z.

Polar Opposites
Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans! It’s Jeanne today with a card featuring one of the dies from Part 3 of the new Christmas release; however this is not a Christmas card! I found this sentiment and knew it would be perfect for the Polar Friends die.
I have always found it amusing that every (it seems) card maker puts polar bears and penguins together, but in real life one is an Arctic animal and the other lives in the Antarctic. This sentiment brings both together and it all makes sense!
Wouldn't this make a cute anniversary card for someone married in the winter? (I may give it to my husband for his birthday which is coming up quickly.)
To begin I made the background. I heat embossed the snowfall using white embossing powder and a stencil.
I stopped the stencil about an inch from the bottom so I would have a smooth area for my sentiment.
Next, I used blending brushes to create the background. Since this is not a Christmas card I chose a light violet and two blues. If this were for Christmas, I would not have used the violet.
I cut my bear, penguin and iceberg from white cardstock and colored using Distress Oxide inks and Copic markers. I did cut the penguin body from black so it would be a nice solid color. I used the large iceberg from the Seal & Walrus Pals die.
After using scissors to point the left ends and gluing them together, I adhered them to the card front about 1/4 inch from the bottom.
I snipped off the part overhanging the right side of the card.To adhere the image I used used foam dots.
Finally I added a few snowflake shaped sequins for sparkle and interest.Dies used:
I hope you enjoyed my card today. Be sure to stop by the online store where the new release is on sale for a limited time! The new Christmas dies are super cute!
I hope you have a fun and creative weekend!

Griswold's Christmas
Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,
It is Pam sharing with you on the blog this great Thursday morning.
I don't know about you but I think one of the funniest movies I have ever seen is Christmas Vacation! This little station wagon brings me right to the scene in the movie when the Griswold's went out to get their Christmas tree! I decided to do a fun fold card with this fun die.
Design Steps
1. Use the second from the largest Stitched Scallop Circle die and cut a red circle. Use the second from the largest Pierced Circle die and cut out a DP blue circle2. Cut a piece of white card stock 7 x 3 1/2 and fold in half
3. Glue the blue dotted DP to the red scalloped circle then mount onto the small card front
4. Cut some red card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and 2 pieces 4 1/8 x 2 5/8. Cut green DP 4 x 5 1/4 and patterned DP 4 x 2 1/2. Cut a white 11 x 4 1/2 fold in half placing the fold at the bottom of the card then cut the front flap in half
5. Glue the large piece red card stock to the inside of the card and the two smaller pieces of red go on the outside of the front flap and the inside of the front flap. Glue the green pattern paper to the inside of the card and the pattern paper to the front of the outside flap
8. Add some white snow to the blue dotted DP on the circle and then pop up the car. Add a snowflake, rhinestone and your sentiment. I used a small Velcro dot to keep the card closed
