Sleigh Bells Ring Page/Family Christmas Memories MIni

This is "Sleigh Bells Ring"  8 x 8 page.
Hello everyone, Today I wanted to share Page 1 of my Family Christmas Memories Album I am creating for The Scrapping Cottage using the New CottageCutz Christmas dies. 
This page is big enough to have a photo on the outside of the pocket, and then the tag on the inside can hold 2 more photo's. So for a total of 2 photo's for this page. 

On this page I used CottageCutz Vintage Bells die for the page and for the tag, I then used the CottageCutz Petites Sleigh for along the bottom of the page. I use copics to color all, and then some glitter for some extra bling.

Our family is CottageCutz Expressions die. and was uswed on the tag. 
CottageCutz Dies used:

I added some Really Reasonable  Ribbons,American Crafts Snowflakes and a sticker sentiment to the tag at the top. The Design Paper is from American Crafts as well, and LOVE all the Design Papers from them!! I absolutely LOVE this CottageCutz Christmas Release and cant wait to share more of my pages with all of you :)

Thank you for stopping by today, and Have a super wonderful day!!

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!

Balloon Bouquet


Hello everyone!
Today's card is another super fast and easy card I made for the Scrapping Cottage using the darling CottageCutz Balloon Bouquet! This is one of the many DARLING CottageCutz Dies from the "Birthday" Release!

Card Measures 2 1/2" x 6"
Super fast and easy to make! I cut the card stock at 5" x 6 then scored on the 5" side at the 2 1/2" mark. I rounded the corners once scored and folded using a 1/2" corner rounder. Next I cut the card stock at 2 1/4" x 5 3/4" and rounded the one side. I did distress the card stock using distress ink and a duster. 
Next I cut the CottageCutz Balloon Bouquet with blue card stock, and then added glitter glue to the balloons. set aside to dry, unless you do embossing powder and heat dry, that would be faster.
I then added my ribbon and bow, and lastly the pearl half backs to the bottom.

CottageCutz Die Used:

Ribbon used is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and is a Gingham print!


Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Shabby Chic Gift Card Holder

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all!\

So first I did cut out the CottageCutz Gift Card Holder using some pretty design paper, and then distressed it. Next I added some lace, and then a piece of a white doily, that I distressed. Next I cut out the Birthday Wishes Doily in pink, and distressed it as well. I only used a part of it, as I wanted it as the background for the flap of my gift Card Holder. The CottageCutz Fancy Present, and Tag Topper are both distressed as well, and then I added some Viva Pearl dots to both of them.

Here is a photo of the inside.
Please click on the photo's to take you directly to each CottageCutz die.
 The little bows, and big bow is made with RRR Seam Binding. Love the look of seam binding, and its very shabby chic! I added a button, and some pearls to the bows.
I hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Christmas Joy/Page 2 of Mini Album

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with Page 2 of a Christmas Mini I'm currently working on for a Christmas Gift.
On this page I used some more of the Beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon that is in this months Ribbon Kit, LOVE all the Christmas ribbons and lace in this months kit.

I used ribbon for the tag pulls, and also made bows for all the tags. There are 2 tags to the left, that pull out for photo's, and 1 tag at the bottom for more photo's, all have bows, and ribbon pulls on them.

Next I added some of the beautiful lace to the left bottom corner, and then the right upper corner. In the photo below, you will see some of the green delicate stitched satin, used as tag pulls on both of the tags on the inside.

I love how this 2nd page turned out for my mini, its been a long time since I've made a Christmas Mini, so I'm super excited to be working on this one.

Thank you for stopping by, and have a super wonderful day!
Hugs to all,
