Gift Card Holder Tags!







Hi everyone! Linh here and I have a new video up on the Cottage Cutz YouTube channel. Do you like to give out gift cards? Here's a fun tutorial for creating gift card holder tags! These tags feature "zipper" pockets that tear away to reveal the gift card!  In this video, I'll show you how to create that zipper pocket without any special dies!

Holiday Cocoa Gift with Tag And Card

Happy Sunday Scrapping Cottage friends! Melinda here with another project share. Today I am showcasing an easy, cute and sweet gift and card set.

Here is a look at my project.

I decided to use some sticker paper for my jar. It is a matte finish sticker paper. I ran it through my Gemini with my die and it cut the paper like butter!


I filled my jar with some hot cocoa mix, a layer of red sugar, some chocolate and white chocolate chips. I then added another layer of the hot cocoa mix and then some more red sugar and the chocolate and white chips. I then set to work coloring out all of the different pieces and then began to layer them.

Here's a look at the finished smore for the jar front. The sticker paper layered very well and adhered without any ripples or bumps onto the jar.  I didn't put a layer of Mod Podge over it, but you could to seal the stickers. I finished off the jar by wrapping some red and white twine several times around the lid. 

Here is a shot showing how I pulled the sticker paper backing off so I can build up the characters.


Here is the cute little smore on the lid of the jar from the Christmas Smores die set.


Here's a look at the card. I used a variety of die cuts from the Holiday CocoaChristmas Smores and the Sweet As A Christmas Cookie Die sets. I cut them all out of plain white cardstock and then colored them with my various markers.

Here is a closer look at them. I used the rolling pin and wrote "Have A" and then the Sweet Christmas sentiment came from the Sweet As A Christmas Cookie die set. I finished off the mat with some of my White Nuvo drops. I added the pink mat onto the largest scallop stitched rectangle die from that set. I then mounted all of that onto a horizontal folded A2 card base.

Here's a look at the cute little tag I made. I used the Holiday Cocoa die set. I colored all of my various pieces with marker after I cut them all out of plain white cardstock.


I cut out an extra die of the cup in white cardstock and then backed the colored die with it. I wrote the "to and from" on there with my red marker.

Quick and Easy Christmas Tags


Happy Sunday Scrapping Cottage friends! Melinda here with another project share. Today I am showcasing a couple of quick, easy and cute gift tags for Christmas.

Here is a look at my tags.
I used the super cute Gnome Santa Gnome w/ Silly Reindeer Die.

I cut the reindeer out of white cardstock. I then used my brown marker to color his body in.
I then used some chalks and some white gel pen for some extra touches.


Here's a closer look at the Reindeer tag. I used the fine tip pen to write Merry Christmas. 

I finished off the tag by mounting it onto the Green patterned paper and the Black paper for mats. I put all that onto the Scallop stitched rectangle die for the base. I added a little red jingle bell and twine bow for a finishing touch.

Here is a closer look at tag two with the cute little Santa Gnome I used the smallest die from the scallop stitched rectangle set for the sentiment.

Cup of Comfort Ornament Tag

Do you enjoy a little cup of comfort?  You know the kind that is filled with delicious, warm cocoa, coffee or tea.  I created these sweet Cup of Comfort Ornament/Tags using the Nested Stitched Doily Set and the Cocoa & Sweet Treat Dies.
I used watercolors to color in the images.  To add deeper color to areas of the die, I add a base coat of the watercolor then let dry.  Next add a second coat in the areas to you would like a deeper more intense color, letting dry between coats.
Assemble the images, add some red/white twine, lace pieces, embellishments and glitter glue to add shimmer.  Add a hanging tag with the red/white twine.
I hope you enjoyed a little Christmas inspiration.
 Wishing a  creative day, dear friends.

Mixed Media Tags

Hello everyone! It's Janet here for my Wednesday post. I'm so happy to show you what I've been up to lately. Christmas is going to be here soon and I am working on Christmas cards and tags at a feverish pace. Did you know there are only 5 Mondays left before Christmas! Yikes! There's a lot to do!


Lately I have been so inspired by card makers who are using mixed-media elements in their projects. Although an entire card was overwhelming, I felt I could tackle some tags using the new Christmas Tags die cut set. Somehow it's not as daunting when you are working on a smaller canvas.


I experimented with a number of different mediums on these tags and they turned out rather glamorous and diva-like. Some of the products I used were Distress Oxide inks, glimmer sprays, water, sequins, gold paste, perlen pens, gems, brads and Christmas mini-ornaments. I also used all kinds of ribbons from the traditional to furry and a few things in between! Most of these items were already in my stash, I just had to pull them out and put them to use!


This set also has a lot of little shapes you can use on these tags and they're sized just right for them. Instead of using the pieces, I used the negative space in the die cut as a template for the gold paste. Now I'm thinking about all the other applications for using negative space as templates for paste, spray or inks. It was a little tricky but it's the first time I've used a paste and ultimately I was pleased with the results. I definitely learned a few things by doing this project and I am warming up to the mixed-media style. I'm going to try something a little larger now that I have a little experience under my belt.


I invite you to watch my tutorial on these tags and learn along with me. I hope you'll be inspired to try something out of your comfort zone. It's satisfying to stretch your wings a little and try something new! These tags were the perfect size and scope for experimentation. Love it!


Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hugs,
Janet

Christmas Tag Cards

Hi, Lois here today.  I have created a project made with one of the new Christmas dies -- Christmas Tags.  BUT . . . instead of using the tags as they were intended, I thought it would be fun to make three small square cards with them.



First I cut the cardstock and patterned paper.  The card bases are 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", scored in half; and the patterned paper layers are 4" square.


I scored the cardstock in half and adhered the patterned paper to each one.


Then I cut the pieces using the Christmas Tags die.  The tags were cut from fun foam, and the small embellishment pieces were all cut from white cardstock and colored with markers -- except for the snowflakes, which were cut from silver paper.


To make adhering the small embellishment pieces easier, I ran them through my Xyron X sticker maker . . .


. . . then I constructed the tags.


Using the second largest Double-Stitched Circle die, I cut three colored circles, and using the second largest Nested Stitched Scallop Circle die, I cut three white circles.


All I had to do then was construct the circles, add foam dots to the undersides and adhere the tags.


I wanted  to show that you can use dies for something other than their original purpose.  CottageCutz dies used on my cards are:
