Christmas Ornaments

Hi, Lois here for my regular Monday post.  I hope you liked the multiple cards we showed on the blog last week, using the new Pets release.  And be sure to check out the CottageCutz store for some bargains -- up to 70% off on some of the dies.

I have a really quick project for today -- some Christmas ornaments made with a couple of CottageCutz dies.


To start I cut all the pieces of the Snowglobe, Winter Accessories die from white cardstock.


I then colored the individual pieces with Copic markers and constructed each character.


I then cut the largest Nested Ornaments: Ball die from three different colors and the caps from gold cardstock.


It was just a matter of choosing which character would go on which ornament.


I added a bit of gold twine to each ornament. and they were done.


CottageCutz dies used on my ornaments were:

It looks like the Snowglobe, Winter Accessories is currently out of stock, but it will return soon.

Christmas cupcakes

Hi, Janja here!

Preparations for the most beautiful holiday of the year are getting closer. You have probably started looking for ideas and decorations that will adorn your home.
My choice today are the cupcakes on the card and the ornaments.


Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Santa Bear In Pot, Gingerbread Man Cupcake, Santa Cupcake, Snowman In Cocoa, Merry Christmas Santa, Nested Ornaments - Ball, Stitched Circle Set, Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set, Circle Set
- white card base: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads
- metallic gold string
- Distress ink pads: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain

To begin with, die cut all the elements of the Santa bear from colored cardstocks. Before we assemble them into a whole, color them additionally with different distress ink pads, to obtain depth.


Cut three circles that match each other in size.


Cut and fold white cardstock in half, to get the card base. Cover the front of white card base with patterned paper. Attach Santa bear with self-adhesive pads on top, and the sentiment Merry Christmas to the lower part.


Assembly the card.



Even for ornaments, use the same assembly procedure. First cut out individual motives, and then the basics, where we will fix them.



We can combine different dies with each other. Like a snowman that I took from the cup, and put it in a cupcake.





Finally, I invite you to watch a video that shows all the new
"Get Well" dies. 



Thanks for stopping by. 
Enjoy the beautiful moments that are in front of you.

Yum, More Christmas Cookies

Hi, Lois here with my last Christmas card of the year.  A couple of weeks ago I made a card using the CottageCutz ornament dies and Peachy Keen face stamps, dishing up a plate of gingerbread cookies.   After I made the card, I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to have someone take a bite out of one of those cookies?"  Thus, the idea for today's card was born.


Supplies for this card:

Cream cardstock base (pre-cut) 10" x 6 1/2", folded in half
Green cardstock - 4 3/4" x 6 1/4"
Patterned paper - 4 5/8" x 6 1/8"
Kraft cardstock
Red cardstock (scraps)
Green cardstock (scraps)
Kraft-colored cardboard
White detail embossing powder
Versamark ink
Doily
White gel pen
Red craft paint and brush
Scallop Circle punch

Cut three of the smallest star ornaments and three of the smallest circle ornaments from Kraft cardstock; then cut six of each from the cardboard. 




Using the punch, cut out the "bite marks" from one Kraft circle and two cardboard circles -- ensuring that the punches are the same size.  Then "build" the cookies by gluing two cardboard pieces and one Kraft piece together.   After stamping and embossing the faces on each of the cookies, add some extra icing with a white gel pen.  Paint a touch of red on the candy canes.



Cut the holly leaves and sentiment.



Construct the card, leaving an open space on the doily to show that the cookie had originally been there.
