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.

Big Bulb Easel Card

Lois here today with another fun card.  Here it is the first week of December.  Christmas is right around the corner.  I'm sure we're all in the middle of making lots of Christmas cards; I know I am.  My card for today is another one using the CottageCutz Ornament dies and Peachy Keen face stamps.


Supplies used on my card:

White cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Patterned paper cut 4" x 5 1/4"
Coordinating patterned paper cut 4" x 5 1/4" and 4" x 1 1/2"
Scrap of yellow cardstock approximately 3 1/2" x 4"
Scrap of silver cardstock
Gold enamel dots
White and red gel pens
Distress ink - Scattered straw
Silver cord
CottageCutz Ornament die - Bulb
Peachy Keen face stamps - 1 5/8"
Adhesive (tape runner, tearable tape, foam dots)

Cut out the ornament from yellow cardstock and the cap from silver cardstock.



Sponge the yellow distress ink around the edges of the ornament to add some depth.


Cut the cardstock panels to create the card.  Because this is an easel card, you will need to score the 11" x 4 1/4" panel at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4".



Adhere the silver cap to the top of the ornament, then stamp and color the face, as shown.


Complete the front of the card with the patterned paper, ornament die-cut, twine, and enamel dots.



Because this is an easel card, you will need to place adhesive on the small bottom section of the card base.  I used tearable adhesive tape for ease of application.  Adhere the bottom of the card front to this bottom section of the card base.  Create the easel by folding on the score lines.  Then add a "bumper" by placing a large enamel dot onto a foam pop dot and place in the center of the underlying base at a point where you would like the card to stand.  Then add a few more enamel dots, as shown.

Christmas ornaments with winter faces

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you another holiday card. I joined CottageCutz Christmas ornaments dies and Peachy Keen winter faces stamps.


For the card we need:
- white scalloped edge card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- golden paper
- embossing folder
- Distress ink: Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Tattered Rose, Rusty Hinge
- Memento ink: Dandelion, London Fog

Trim patterned paper in appropriate size. With the 2nd bulb ornament die cut out two ornaments and two golden tops of ornaments. Cut out golden bows with the holiday mason jar die.


Also cut two ornaments from a golden paper, slightly smaller than the size of holes in the patterned paper. First cut half ornament, slightly move the die and then cut out the other half.
Use only negatives. Glue them to the back side of patterned paper.
Stamp "Believe in the magic" and with an embossing folder create snow background.



On watercolor paper draw the edges of ornaments with a pencil and stamp cute faces. Use Peachy Keen face stamps 1 5/8th inch sets: ornament and candy cane.


Paint faces. I used Distress and Memento inks.
After completion of painting, erase pencil silhouette and attach watercolor paper to the back of patterned paper.


Add golden pieces and the card is completed.


Use remained ornaments for tags. We can decorate gifts under the Christmas tree with them.



 Thank you for coming over and have a great day.
