Christmas Pup

Hello Friends 

Our new Christmas Release is available at a wonderful 30% off.  This collection has over 40 different dies.   It has everything you will need for your holiday paper crafting. Make sure to stop by the online store and check out all the fantastic new designs!

Today, I am using the Christmas Reindeer Puppy.  This little pup is just adorable in his Santa Claus hat and his gift full of his favorite treat! (This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest created by Yvonne)


Design Steps:

1.  Start with the Christmas Reindeer Puppy die and cut the following colors of card stock: red, white, gray, black, pink and DP green snowflake.  Shade the pups pieces and then assemble with a fine tip glue
2.  Card base is white A2, red cardstock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, white bazzil 4 x 5 1/4, Green snowflake DP cut with the largest Cross Stitched Circle die (cut the side of the circle as shown above), glitter silver strip with a bevel edge 3 1/2 x 1/4, gray cut with a dovetail 3 1/4 x 3/4, red cut with a dovetail 4 x 3/4, white cut with a bevel edges 3 5/8 x 1 and DP checked cut like an arrow 3 3/8 x 1 3/8
3.  Glue the red to the card base then add the white.  Glue the circle to the right side of the card as shown
4.  Add all the strips in this order: red, gray, white, plaid and then glitter silver.  Place dimension squares on the back of the pup and pop to the card as shown in the first top picture
5.  Using the Snowflake Set and the Merry Christmas Love dies cut out 3 snowflakes in white glitter card stock.  Stamp your sentiment and add to the card as shown below and it is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by!  And I will see you next Thursday.

Blessings and Take Care

Shaker Tag Gift Card Ornaments

Merry Christmas CottageCutz friends!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones. 

Kris here sharing with you today.  I know most of you are done making Christmas projects now, so maybe you want to save this idea for next year's gifts... OR you can always change the theme and use these for gift bag tags (thinking Valentine's... Birthdays...any special occasion!) ☺  

I'm a huge fan of shakers, so I made 2 ornaments that are shaker tags with gift card holders on the back, using the Jolly Santa Gnome from the Christmas 1 Release & I made the other with the Polar Bear Trio with Igloo from the Christmas 2 Release.  


The patterned papers and tiny tags are from 
Winter Wonderland (Polar Bears Tag) and 
 Let it Snow (Jolly Santa Gnome) from Doodlebug Designs

JOLLY SANTA GNOME TAG
White Cardstock:
• cut 5-1/2" x 3-3/4"
• die cut Jolly Santa Gnome
Red Cardstock (back of tag):
Acetate/Window Sheet:
• 3-1/2" x 4-1/4"
Patterned Paper #1 (red with Santas):
• 5-1/2" x 3-3/4"
Patterned paper #2 (green trees):
• 3-3/4" x 3" - then cut the top with a Hills Slimline die
Patterned Paper (tiny tags):
• cut apart one of the tiny tags and punch hole where indicated

HOW TO:

1.  Glue patterned paper #2 to the bottom of patterned paper #1.

2.  Measure along the TOP of the patterned paper #1 and make pencil marks at 3/4", 1-7/8" and 3"

3.  From the TOP, measure down each SIDE and place a mark at 1-1/4"

4.  Make a diagonal cut from the TOP 3/4" marks down to the 1-1/4" SIDE marks.

5.  Punch a hole about 1/2" down from the center (your 1-7/8" mark)

6.  Place that tag over your white piece and use as a guide to cut the corners off of white tag and punch hole in middle. 


7.  Using a rectangle die, (I used the 3rd largest of the Nested Wacky Stitched Rectangles) center it over your Patterned Paper tag and cut.

8.  Turn that tag onto back side and place Scor Tape (or other strong double sided adhesive) close to the rectangle cut-out.  Attach your window sheet.

9.  Add foam strips/tape just outside the rectangle and around edges of tag.  (See photo below)

10.  Add sequins/shaker elements.


11.  Carefully place your WHITE TAG on top, lining up edges and the hole at top.


12.  Color your Jolly Santa Gnome and attach to tag front using foam tape for dimension. 

*Optional (but highly suggested):  Add Snow Writer (puffy snow, etc) to the trim on his hat & coat!  LOVE the dimension it gives 😊


13.  Glue the red Merry Christmas Ribbon to back of tag.

*Optional:  Add a pocket to the back for a gift card!


POLAR BEAR TRIO WITH IGLOO TAG
Same cutting measurements as the Santa tag with the following exceptions:
• the 2nd patterned paper I glued to the top of the white tag (inside shaker, instead of the front & cut the bottom with the hills die)
• I used the 2nd largest Nested Wacky Stitched Rectangle (larger than the one on Santa shaker)
• I die cut a large snowflake from the Snowflake Set
• I die cut Merry Christmas w/ Snowflakes (for back of tag) from purple cardstock



How CUTE are these?!!  
♥ these adorable CottageCutz dies!

They are for my girls, so here they are on the tree ☺


Merry Christmas to you all, and wishing you all the crafty goodness in 2023!

It is so hard to believe but Christmas is just around the corner!  And CottageCutz is all ready for it!! This is Christmas part 1 of a 2 part release!  And it is just amazing!  Last week when it was my turn to post I shared a die that was perfect for fast multiple cards and this week I have one more to share that works just as beautifully.   The best thing about all these wonderful dies is that right now they are 25% off but just for a limited time! Don't miss out on this fantastic sale!


Design steps:

 1.  Use the Peace on Earth die cut out 3 of the sentiment on vanilla card stock and glue together
 2.  Use the Double Stitch Square die and cut out the second from the largest in vanilla and the next down in size in gold DP
 3.  Use an A2 vanilla card base and a slightly smaller piece of gold DP
 4.  Glue the DP to the front of the vanilla card base
 5.  Use foam tape and glue the two cut squares together
 6.  Glue the Peace on Earth to the gold DP
7.  Cut out vanilla snowflakes using the Snowflake Set die.  I used the 2 smaller snowflakes for the card front.  Glue the square panel to the front of the card add the snowflakes and rhinestones
I did one other variations for you just below.  The only thing I did differently is add Glossy Accents to the sentiment

Christmas Town!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans!

It is Pam on the blog today and ready to show you my card for today!  Making Christmas cards is a fun way to show your family and friend your crafty side!  It is also a way to make cards that specifically fit someone's personality.  The card I am sharing today is going to a friend who lives in California.  She doesn't get any snow for Christmas so I thought I would send her some on my card!


 Design Steps:
1.  Using the Christmas Town and Season's Greeting w/Banner die cut out both of them in white.  On the Season's Greeting die cut off the deer and glue down the Season's Greetings
 2.  Use an A2 white base and cut out a piece of silver 4 x 5 1/4, a piece of white embossed with dots 3 3/4 x 5.  Then use the Double Stitched Rectangle die and cut out a piece of navy DP
 3.  Glue the silver and embossed paper to the card front
 4.  Glue the Season's Greetings to the banner and the Christmas Town to the navy DP
 5.  Place dimensional tape to the back of the navy DP and attach to the center of the card front
 6.  Add the sentiment banner as shown
 7.  Using the Snowflake Set cut out silver snowflakes
8.  Attach the snowflakes as shown below.  I glued the larger snowflake to the inside of my card
