AC Embellished Cookie Cutters Tutorial

Hi everyone,

On Thursday I had a tutorial up on the American Crafts blog on how to make these altered cookie cutters.

Supplies: Christmas 6X6 Paper Pad (97198) - Patterned Paper; Adhesive Layered Embellishments - Gingermint (366107) - Details, Die Cut Cardstock Shapes - Figgymint (366108) - Bits, Dimensional Stars - Jinglemint (366110)- Remarks, Christmas Sequins and Buttons (95300) - Buttons, Decorated Clothespins - Hollymint (366115) - Whittles, Decorative Tape (95306), Decorative Tape (95305)

The dimensional embellishments in the Peppermint Express collection helped bring these altered cookie cutters to life.  They would make a great neighbor gift paired with cookies, or cute decoration for around the house. 

1. Gather American Crafts supplies and star-shaped cookie cutters.


2. Arrange cookie cutters on top of patterned paper, trace, and cut. Using liquid glue, adhere the papers to the cookie cutters.


3. Adhere sequins and buttons to inside bottom of cookie cutters. Adhere fancy trims to the outside.


4. Tie two ribbons into bows, attach wooden clothespins, and adhere them to top of the cookie cutters.


5. Make flags out of toothpicks, wooden spools, patterned paper, and washi tape. Tie on baker's twine.


6. Finish by adhering flags, die cuts, and stickers.


 All finished!  These would make great decorations for around the house or cute little gifts to give to neighbors and teachers.


 I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today!  Thanks for stopping by!

December American Crafts Gallery *Red Cup Love

Hey everyone,
It's a new month, so I am here to share with you a new layout that I created for the American Crafts Gallery.  I used a fun mixture of Peppermint Express, their exclusive for Target Christmas collection, Cut and Paste and Crate Paper's Flea Market collection.

Red Cup Love Layout

There is just something about Starbuck's red cup that gets me every time.  I just had to photograph my first 'red cup' of the season.

I love this fun File and Fold paper from Amy Tangerine's Cut and Paste collection.  I just folded some of the flaps down and layered two different pattern papers underneath.  I also added some triangles that I cut out of woodgrain paper and then stitched it all down.  It makes such a fun background!
