Made With Love

Hi!

It's Anja here. I played with some Christmas dies for today's post. During last month and a half when I was mostly at home I did plenty of baking. And this is where the inspiration for today's post came.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Gingerbread Baking Set, Baking Reindeer, Made w/ Love Phrase, Sweetheart Doilies),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (17,5x12,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (17x7 cm),
- red card stock for die cuts and background (17x12 cm),
- patterned paper for background (16,7x11,7 cm),
- yellow card stock for background (17x7,8 cm),
- white pen,
- silver pigment ink,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all baking props.


Next I cut the sentiment. I made two cuts from two different colored card stock.


I glued the yellow one on top of the red one.


Then I cut all the pieces for the background.


I decided to add some interest to the background with a few doilies. I die cut three and trimmed it in half.


This is how I adhered it on the back. I used adhesive foam pads to glue this part on the bard base.


Then I added all the other pieces and my card was done.



I wish you all a lovely week and see you again next Sunday.

Bee Happy

Hi Janja here. Welcome to the blog today.
In the following posts, I will be creating my samples with dies from past releases. Cottage Cutz dies offer many combination options.


- CottageCutz dies: Birthday Party Bear, Gingerbread Baking Set, Spooky Cake, Beehives, Stitched Alphabet
- card blank: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" (10,8 x 14 cm), folded
- white and brown cardstock
- vellum paper
- stencil - honeycomb
- ink pads
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

Start by die-cutting a bear and bees.
For a bowl full of honey, I used a gingerbread baking set. I cut a dripping honey edge out with a spooky cake die, and shorted it with scissors.


Cut each letter four times for more depth.


Cut out white cardstock for the background.
Now add the honeycomb pattern to the white background. Use a sponge or brush and apply color over the stencil.


First, paste the letters to the lower part. Then attach the bear to the upper edge of the letters with self-adhesive pads. Lastly, paste the remaining letters and bees.



Completed card.


Thank you for stopping by.

Holiday Wishes & Gingerbread Kisses

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this sweet card. I have one last card to share from the Christmas holiday created with the adorable gingerbread couple from the Gingerbread Baking Set.
The couple was die cut in card stock along with 4 frames: Stitched Wide Rectangle, Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle, Stitched Rectangle and the Rectangle set.
The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms (retired) Winter Wishes stamp set.  I punched holes on each side of the sentiment tag and tied it some Candy Cane Trendy Twine.
The frames were layered together and adhered to the card base. The different sized frames nested inside one another perfectly.
The first gingerbread was angled a bit and placed in the left hand corner of my card directly under the sentiment.
The second gingerbread was adhered directly opposite of the first which completed this festive card.
Here are the die sets used on my card available in the store:

Gingerbread Card


Hi,


it's Anja here with my new card. I made a simple one this week, because I was away from home and

didn't have all my crafting materials with me. I combined two cute gingerbread men from two different sets. I love how Cottage Cutz sets complement each other so well. 

 
The materials I used for this card:
- Distress Oxides (Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Lucky Clover),
- craft card base (15x15 cm)
- white and craft card stock for die cuts,
- white (14x14 cm) and patterned (13x13 cm) paper for background,
- craft (14x6 cm) and patterned (14x5 cm) paper stips for background,
- paper glue.

First I die cut gingerbreads from craft card stock. I cut five bigger ones and four smaller ones. I colored them with Distress Oxides. I cut the smaller pieces from white card stock.Then I glued all the cut gingerbreads together to get a 3d effect.


I used the small holly branch leaves that were left from cutting the smaller gingerbread.


Then I cut all the other paper pieces for the background.


And then I just put everything together to get the final result. 


Gingerbread men could be easily used as little magnets for the fridge. They look quite realistic when you make them in layers. And they ares so easy to make.


Thank you for visiting the blog today. Make sure you check the new video from Janet. She is showcasing all the beautiful dies from our Black Friday release. It is the cutest "get well" set of dies
I've ever seen. It will be in the store soon, so stay tuned :)


Have fun and enjoy your Sunday. 
See you next week.
