CottageCutz Nutcracker

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all! Today's Nutcracker was designed for The Scrapping Cottage using the Beautiful New CottageCutz Nutcracker Die. I absolutely LOVE all the CottageCutz Christmas dies that have been released, and this Nutcracker is way too cute!!!

For my card I cut the Nutcracker out with White Card Stock, and then colored all the pieces with Copic Markers. He was super easy to do, as I kept his color combo traditional Christmas colors. 

The CottageCutz Winter Pine Branch was cut using American Crafts Colored Card Stock from the Earth Tones Paper Pack. I then added some Really Reasonable Ribbon Flowers in red to those.

The Dp I used is BoBunny, and the Border Punches are MS! I also used some AC Pop Dots to pop up each layer of my card.

The ticket stamp is from SU!

1st Project Life

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my 1st Project Life page designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon. This will be for my youngest daughter Breanna. 

I have never thought of making project life before since its a simple way of scrapbooking. But just recently I started working at American Crafts Warehouse Sale, and everyone is buying it up. So I thought maybe I could get creative and add stuff I love working with in this album. For my 1st page this is a little simple, but I will be working on adding other goodies to these pages for this album. 

I left off all writing, it will go on the insert with the B. Next The title will go where my watermark is. I'm going to combine this with layouts as well, so it wont be a weekly journal like most are doing, its going to be more like a scrapbook, but done a little differently...hehehehe

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon,Lace, and trim on my inserts here.

Supply List:

5/8" Brown Crocheted Lace

Pink Gingham 5/8"

Pink Box Pleated Trim

Bead Trim (Pink)

Other supplies Used:

Project Life Page Protector

Project Life Baby Girl Insert Cards

CottageCutz Vintage Vanity Die

CIP's Angel Dust

Glue Pad

American Crafts Pink Polka Dot flowers

Flower buttons with shanks removed

Sticker 

Clear Embossing Powder CIP's

Vintage White Lace, My stash

For the  CottageCutz vanity I colored it with cip's pink, and then used the glue pad to add glue to my pieces, and lastly added the Angel Dust Glitter to give the look to the vanity. The mirror was colored with a blue and grey copic marker, and then again rubbed the glue pad over it, and added clear embossing powder and heated, to give its look.

Next the cushion top for the stool,I added glitter glass to it.

For the area with the White Vintage Lace, I just glued the lace down first, then added the brown RRR Lace, then the Bead trim. I will add a Title to this area later on. I was thinking of Playtime. Not sure though yet :)

I hope you enjoyed today's post, this is very new to me, as I have never done Project Life before, but again was inspired by so many customers to try it out :) Also I think this would be a better way for me to scrap for my son, as I need it to be pretty simple. However We can always add Beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon to any project :)

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all! Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Ours was super nice, it was just my family,Mom and Maddie(my sons girlfriend), 6 of us!

On to my card :)

My card was designed for 2 challenges, Really Reasonable Ribbons "Bingo" Challnege, and for Victorine Originals "Non-Traditional Christmas Color" Challenge. 

On my card for the Bingo challenge I used the Twine,Image,flower plus Ribbon. And for the Non Traditional Colors I used Pink,grey and White :)

Both challenges were super fun!!! for my VO image, I stamped my deer onto the glue pad, then added some CIP's embossing powder, and heated it up. Next I used Viva Pearl Pen to add the dots around my scalloped circle. The DP is a leftover sheet I had mixed in my Christmas Design Paper.

For Really Reasonable Ribbon I used the pink Gingham Ribbon, Pink Cosmos Flower, and Pink Twine, all can be found at the RRR Store!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,
