Happy Thanksgiving


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit on this Thanksgiving Day 2020. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you this special edition of the Blog. 

It's a bit of a different celebration for most of us this year with the pandemic. But it's still a day that was set aside by President Lincoln as a national holiday and celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. Hope your celebration will be filled with thanks. 

My card today is one that I made using the Pilgrim & Indian Owls die. I sent this out to a family that hold a special place in my heart. They have 2 little boys who loved the owls dressed as a Pilgrim and Indian. 

I thought the plaid paper had the perfect colors for a Fall themed Holiday card. I stamped my Thanksgiving greeting on the inside of my card.

That's my card for today. See you again tomorrow where we will pick up with the group post featuring the new Safari release. Happy Thanksgiving!

Grapevine Wreath Thanksgiving Card


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.

I can't believe we are into September already. Today there is a chill in the air that makes it feel just like a fall day. The temperatures will rise again for sure this month, but today I am thinking fall. And, with fall comes one of my favorite holidays, and that would be Thanksgiving.

I pulled out an older CottageCutz die, Build-A-Grapevine Wreath, to create my card. Also used the Blessings Phrase. So let's get started with some details on how I created my card.

Step 1: Once my dies were selected, I chose my card colors. The fall colors I am using are chocolate chip, curry, cajun (cinnamon color), olive green.
Step 2: Cut the grapevine wreath, leaves and acorns on this next step. I cut the wreath 2x in chocolate chip cardstock. I did that for a bit more dimension. Sponged the leaves with the matching inks. The acorn tops I sponged in chocolate chip ink.
Step 3: I wanted a wood background for the wreath. I used a wood planks embossing folder with kraft cardstock and then sponged on the cajun ink.
 
 Step 4: Cut the Blessings Phrase in chocolate chip ink. Again I cut it 2x. I like the dimension that 2 cuts gives my card. I adhered the 2 pieces together using multi medium matte by Ranger.  I like this adhesive because it dries clear.
Started the assembly of my card. Adhered all the pieces of the grapevine wreath using the same multi medium matte adhesive. I wanted a more weathered look on the wood plank background so I sponged on some curry ink.
 
Added the Blessings Phrase. I adhered this panel to some cajun cardstock.
Image Panel Size: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Cajun Cardstock Panel: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
Step 5: To complete my card,  I stamped the Harvest word on Cajun cardstock in black ink and cut a flag shape. Used some curry bakers twine and made a bow for my wreath. Added a Cajun enamel dot to the center. I layered the panels to my chocolate chip card base. The base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (A2 size) 

Well friends that's my card for this week. I hope I have given you some inspiration on a way to use the Blessings Phrase for a Thanksgiving card. See you all next Saturday.

CottageCutz Focus Week-Holiday Treat Holders

Hello everyone and welcome to the final day of our Holiday Treat Holder Focus week!  It's Carol here today.  For the last project I wanted to share this really sweet Owl in Pumpkin die.  This treat holder is an altered Glassine bag.  To create, just use some pretty fall papers, a spellbinders oval die, and a Martha Stewart Border punch glue to the top and bottom.  A little seam binding ribbon and a tiny clothespin will top off the embellishments.  Aren't these cute? 
There small but no worries.  You want to know why?   They are going to be placed at the table at each place setting and they will hold a "little" treat.  Want to know what it is????  lol  Well how about some movie tickets for Thanksgiving evening.  Isn't that fun.  After dinner, football, and washing dishes what better way to spend the evening watching a great movie.  This little holder is the perfect surprise.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Sure to appreciate it.  Be sure to leave a comment for your last chance at the prize today.  Happy Crafting!
