Boxwood Vine Wreath and Cup of Latte



Happy Thursday!

Kathy here with you and today I have two projects to show you!  First, is a card using the Boxwood Vine Wreath die and stamps.




I cut the die pieces using pink, green, and brown card stock.  After cutting the banner in pink, I stamped it with the "Merry Christmas" stamp from the set in black ink.  The pieces were shaped and inked before assembling.  I arranged them all on a white snowflake embossed background to make it all pop.

The second project is a gift card holder that I made using the Cup of Latte and Fancy Envelope Dies. Here is one side with the latte cups.  (The green is a little brighter in the picture than it should be, it's actually the same green as in the card.)




Here is the other side with the flap and velcro enclosure.



The Fancy Envelope base is cut with Certainly Celery card stock.  The pieces are cut with white, pink card stock, and the Merry Little Christmas designer paper by My Mind's Eye.  I then added a little lace, twine, and buttons to embellish it.

These are the dies I used on my projects.

Boxwood Vine Wreath with a Twist


Hi Everyone, I hope you are all having a great weekend!  Today I've created a card using the Boxwood Vine Wreath Die. I added a small twist to my wreath.  I cut it out of two varying shades of green and then I took one of my wreaths and snipped it in open.  This allowed me to wrap one wreath around the other letting the shades of green mix together for a more realistic  and fuller feel. 


Don't forget to jump into our blog hop we are having right now with PSA Essentials...today's the last day. 

Hugs,

The Christmas Season is Officially Here!


Thanksgiving is officially behind us and Christmas-time is here! I hope you had a very blessed Thanksgiving and had time to enjoy your family and loved ones. We are all so blessed and it is so great to have a day that reminds us of that! But now, Christmas is really here - so let the carols play on the radio, let the tinsel sparkle, and let's finish all of those Christmas cards that we said we would finish in July, and we just haven't gotten them done.


I used the Christmas Fawn Die from CottageCutz for today's project. Don't you just love all of the details? I had to add a little Sakura Crystal Lacquer to her little red nose. Also, did you notice my stamped seam binding? I thought that was a perfect place to add my sentiment. The stamp came with the Boxwood Vine Wreath set - and I keep using it over and over again!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Don't forget to check out the special Black Friday release from CottageCutz!

Tis The Season


Hi, It's Gini and I've got another Christmas Card to share with you today! I hope you've been enjoying all of the Christmas Inspirations we have been sharing with you. Cottage Cutz just has so many adorable dies for the season, it's hard not to keep making projects with them.


I used the Boxwood Vine Wreath for the main image on my card. It's such an amazing die, that can really be used all year long. The boxwood branches are perfect greenery for any flower projects - you also get a banner, a bow, a 3-d flower - and then all of the Christmas goodies...!!! Oh, and I forgot to mention that this die set, also comes with 3 stamp sentiments. I love it!


Another really versatile die that I used was the Holiday Doily. This is perfect to add a circle element to your project, or maybe to frame it.
