Hot Cocoa Box

Hello dear crafty friends!
Today I am sharing a fun Hot cocoa box I made. I decorated it with some of the fun dies from the Cottage Cutz Christmas release. I love that you can invest in these seasonal dies, but use them well past their intended season. It is great to get a lot of mileage out of them!
Here's a look at my fun box. I used white cardstock for the base of the box. I then used some blue cardstock for the mats. From there I did all the fun stuff of decorating my box.

Hey Sweet Heart

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!
Today I am sharing a fun and colorful Valentine's day card. Here's a look at my finished project. I used the sweet Mrs. Gingerbread Die as the focal image from this year's Christmas release.

Slimline Birthday Puppies

Happy Tuesday Sweet crafty Friends!

Today I am sharing a fun and cheerful slimline birthday card I created for Cottage Cutz. Here's a look at my finished project. I used the sweet little Christmas Puppies Dies from this year's Christmas release.
My card is pretty straightforward. It is a side folding slimline card. I started with a white card base. I cut a piece of paper to 8 x 9. I folded it in half at the 4" mark along the 8" length. I then cut a piece of red cardstock paper at 3.75 x 7.75. After I added that to my card base, I cut out the slimline circle windows base out. I then cut out a piece of the cute dotted patterned paper from doodlebug. I used some foam tape to give the slimline circle window base some lift. I then went to work cutting out the cute little puppies from some plain white cardstock. I then colored them with my markers.
