CottageCutz Black Friday Preview/Puppy In Bag

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!
Today is day 4 of the CottageCutz Black Friday Previews for the CottageCutz "In The Woods" Release. 
Today I'm showcasing the Sweet CottageCutz Puppy in Bag Die. He is another super cute die in this darling collection. He is cut out in white card stock, and then colored using the dusting technique. I did dust him using Tim Holtz distressed inks. Next I colored his eyes, nose, and mouth using copics.
 card measures 3 1/2"x 3 1/2"
This card was super simple to make, as I cute a 3 1/2" x 7" piece of card stock for the card base, then layered my frame with Pink Paislee design paper Winter Wonderland. I added some Really Reasonable Ribbon in a brown Gingham Print, and a big bow/ with a button. Lastly I added some white dots to the corners, and stamped a StampinUp! sentiment on the bottom.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!!!

Santa's "Naughty or Nice" Page/ FamilyChristmas Memories Album

Hello Friends! Happy Thursday to all!
Today I'm sharing another page from the "Family Christmas Memories Album" Iv'e been working on this last week.

For this page, I have used a 6" x 6" chipboard piece, and covered it with American Crafts Design Papers. Next The frame I created was designed using Spellbinders Die, and the sentiment tag was done using SU! punches. For the SU! tag, I used the CottageCutz stamp that was released last year in the Christmas gift set. I also used the Naughty and Nice from the same giftset.

I absolutely LOVE Santa, he is so Jolly and Sweet! Matter of fact, we still hang stockings for the kids and us, because Santa still stops by for a visit every year at the Walkers :) 
This CottageCutz Santa & Friends is absolutely one of my Favorites,and worked perfect for this page.Santa and his friends are all colored using Copic markers. I also used white glitter for Santa's fur on his coat,pants, and hat. For behind Santa, I used pieces of the CottageCutz Holiday Floral Spray, and just left them white.

On the Right side of the page, I used the CottageCutz Bare Tree w/ Accessories , and just colored it green. Lastly I finished off my page with some Red Sheer Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Supplies Used:
CottageCutz Dies/Stamps
Spellbinders Dies
StampinUp! dies
American Crafts Design Paper
Really Reasonable Ribbon
Copic Markers to color
Scor-tape
Helmar Glue


I hope you enjoyed today's post, and thank you for stopping by!

CottageCutz Poinsettia & Holly Spray

Hello Friends!!!

I absolutely LOVE this time of year! I love making all the Christmas cards, and fun stuff! And I absolutely LOVE all the NEW Christmas CottageCutz dies! For my card today I used the Beautiful CottageCutz Poinsettia & Holly Spray, along with the CottageCutz Expressions "Noel" for this 3 x 3 Mini Card.

I love when we find easy and fast cards to make. Using the CottageCutz dies makes it super fast and easy, and I LOVE the look of these beauties!!!  I'm thinking of making some place setting name tags with these cards and the CottageCutz Petites. I will share what I come up with when finished. :)
The poinsettia spray was colored with copic markers, and then I added some Viva Pearl pen in gold to the center of the poinsettia, and to the branches. The Noel was cut in red card stock. The design paper is a Christmas print from Pink Paislee "Snow Village" I got this pad from American Crafts, and the little card is Bazzils mini 3 x 3, also from American Crafts.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,
Cheryl
