Stickle Frosting

Hi everyone I am back on the blog with another card that features: Cupcake w/Frosting a new release and Celebrate Expression plus for my sentiment.

I created a card with an extended lip if I couldnt think of a good description basically it doesnt close where the edges meet one extends out an inch.  As seen below you can see how it folds over.

Next I covered my card in patterned from Doodlebug 

Now its time to diecut 3 sets of cupcakes and decorate them using stickles for icing

I put everything all together to complete my card 🥰

Quick Gift Card Holder

Hi, Lois here for my Monday post.  The CottageCutz design team is going to pull out some older dies during the month of July and show them off.  I used the Filigree Daisy Envelope to make a quick gift card holder, adding one of the Expressions Plus sentiments.

I cut the envelope from a piece of purple cardstock.

The base of the card is just a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of purple cardstock and a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of patterned paper.

After folding on all of the score lines on the envelope, I added some narrow Scor-Tape to the side tabs.

I then cut the sentiment twice -- once in purple and once in shimmery white.  I had run the scraps of cardstock through my Xyron machine prior to cutting so that I could adhere them easily.

I used Scor-Tape on the back of the envelope for good adhesion to the card.

I adhered the envelope at the bottom of the card and layered the two sentiments at the top -- on an angle.

To hold the flap closed, I cut a strip of Velcro . . . 

. . . and placed it behind the daisy.  I closed the flap to place the second piece on the envelope.  I trimmed the portion that was above the opening.

I then added a few sequins and inserted the gift card.

Here again is my completed card.

I would encourage you to look through the CottageCutz website and see what you may have missed.

Birthday Gift Card!

Hello Scrapping Cottage Fans!

It is Pam from Stamper at Heart Blog Spot

I know now a days that so many young people like gift cards.  And it really takes all the thrill out of hunting for the perfect gift!  However it is a lot easier and faster to get the gift card.  So to make it a little more personal I decided to make the gift card holder!

Designer steps:

1.  Start with a 4 1/8 x 9 3/4 piece of white card stock.  Score at 2 1/8, 5, 6 and 7.  Fold as shown this is the inside of the gift card

 2.  Flip the card over and glue the mountain fold (which is now the vally fold) together.  Then flip the card back over

 3.  Cut 4 pieces of DP at 4 x 2 3/4 and cut 2 pieces at 2 x 4.  Working on the inside of the card glue one of the 4 x 2 3/4 down as shown

 4.  On the inside glue the flap for the card holder down with a tiny lines of glue on both of the far left and right edges and then push it down onto the DP

 5.  Still working on the inside glue the 2 x 4 inch DP to the top flap and glue the 2 3/4 x 4 piece of DP to the bottom half of the gift card

 6.  Flip the card over and glue down the DP to the front of the card

7.  Next cut out the cupcake using the  Cottage Cutz Stitched Cupcake die also using Cottage Cutz Celebrate die cut out the sentiment.   Assemble the pieces

8.  Glue to the front flap as shown

 9.  Flip the card over and add a sentiment just below the pocket for the gift card and add a small velcro dot for secure closing
