Gnome Valentine

 Hello Friends

Time for a cute little Gnomie Valentine!  I am showing you how to get multiple uses out of your dies.  The gnomes are actually from an Easter release but with a few subtle changes you can use them for Valentines Day.  The dies are Bunny Gnome 1, 2 and 3.  I also used our Heart XO Windows Slimline and Valentine Phrase and More.

Design Steps:

1.  Folded pink card base measuring 8 3/4 x 3 3/4.  Use the Heart XO Windows Slimline and cut out a piece of heart DP as shown above

2.  Use the Bunny Gnome dies 1, 2, and 3 and cut out the following colors of card stock: red striped DP, Black polka dot DP, Teal checked DP, brown, black, pink, white and flesh.  Use the Valentine Phrase and More die and cut it out the phrase in red.  Assemble the gnomes with a fine tip glue as shown above

3.  Glue the Pink Heart DP to the front of the pink slimline card base.  Glue the Valentine sentiment to the middle heart at an angle as shown

4.  Add the gnomes to the card as shown above

5.  Using the Valentine Phrase and More die cut out a few hearts in red, teal and pink.  Add the hearts to the card along with some sequins and it is complete

Birthday Shaker

 Hello Friends

BIG REMINDER CHRISTMAS SALE ENDS Friday, Jan 2, 2026.  Check it out HERE

I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year! May you be blessed with good health and happiness! 

For the New Year I need to replenish my birthday cards so I thought I would make a cute little shaker card! I used Dapper Dachshund and Sentiment, Happy Birthday to create my card for today.

Background Photo by Freepiks

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Happy Birthday die cut out some Stardust Foil card stock.  Use the Dapper Dachshund and cut out the following colors of card stock: pink, white, light brown, dark brown and black. Assemble the pup with a fine tip glue

2.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a piece of purple flowered DP 4 1/8 x 5 3/8,  using the Large Rectangle Frame die cut out 2 purple frames and glue them together

3.  Cut a piece of acetate to fit behind the frame.  Glue the acetate to the back of the purple frame and then add your dimension tape all around the perimeter

4.  Glue the purple DP to the white card base.  Place a small pile of sequins and confetti in the middle of the purple DP.  Adhere the acetate frame onto the card front at shown above

5.  Glue Happy Birthday to the acetate and then add the dog to the left bottom corner and the bow to the right top corner (as shown below).  Your card is complete

 Hello Friends

From all of us at CottageCutz we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is my last Christmas card for the year 2025!  I don't know where this year has gone but I thank God for all of my blessings! I am using Polar Friends and Holiday Hound Dog (trees) on this fun little card.

Background Photo by Freepiks

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Polar Friends die and cut out the following colors of cardstock:  red, green, yellow, black and white

2.  Assemble the pieces with a fine tip glue.  I like the Art Glitter Glue

3.  Use an A2 white card base.  Cut a rectangle scallop piece 5 1/4 x 4 and then cut another retangle scallop piece 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 run the smaller rectangle through a snow embossing folder.  In white cut out the snow banks using the Hills Slimline. Cut out the trees in white using the Holiday Hound Dog

4.  Glue the larger scalloped retangle flat to the white card base.  Pop up the snow embossed retangle and add the first snowy hill

5.  Tuck the trees into the snowy hill in the background.  Add the polar bear and then the second snowy hill. (Make sure to stamp the front snowy hill before you glue it down.) I added some sparkle to the hill tops.  Your card is complete
