CottageCutz Holiday Candle


Hello everyone , today I wanted to share a card I made for the Scrapping Cottage &  Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge this week. Super easy one here,as this card took me seriously under 15 minutes to make!

On my card for today, I cut the scalloped background piece, and then cut a piece of scrap design paper at an angle. Next I added some ribbon to border the 2 different shades. and hot glued a big bow I made. For the main image I cut out a scalloped oval, and added some vintage trim I got from stash. Next I cut the CottageCutz Holiday Candles in the same grey embossed card stock that I used on my card. Super easy!!!

Today's card was designed for a Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge, using the Beautiful CottageCutz Christmas dies. I used the Praying Angel, and Poinsettia & Holly dies.

For the Angel I cut her out in cream cardstock, and then embossed her with a mixture of embossing powders. I used a pink and gold , and then heated them up. Love the look.
 
For the Poinsettia I colored it using pink copics and then added some gold viva pearl pen to the center. The design paper is leftover scrap paper I had and wanted to use. For the Border around thedesign paperI used Martha Stewart Punch around the page.
I added some RRR ribbons, and a bow to complete my card for today.

Very Merry Cardinal

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share with you all a Christmas card using the beautiful CottageCutz Cardinal Scene. Super EASY card to make, as it really is 1 layer of design paper, and then the centerpiece with the 1 cut CottageCutz die.
I colored the cardinal, and trees, with copic markers. They are a 1 piece die cut, I just cut it down a bit to fit on the MS punch around the page. I then added some stickles, and a stampinUp sentiment. super easy! to complete my card I stamped a sentiment in memento black ink, and added some ribbon.
Hope you have a super wonderful day, and thank you for stopping by

Winter Sleigh Ride


 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I wanted to share 1 of the cards I made for todays Splitcoaststampers Challenge using the Beautiful CottageCutz Winter Sleigh Ride Scene.

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!
hugs to all,
