Santa & Reindeer Flying

Hello everyone from Simona! 

Here I am with my 1st December post for

The Scrapping Cottage Blog.

This handmade card is so simple and quick  and you can

easily mass produce it. You really don't need much
to create special handmade cards for your loved ones...

Today on 6 of December we celebrate Saint Nicholas Day.

I read in a WikipediA (The Free Encyclopedia on the Web),

 this is a festival for children in many

countries in Europe (19 December in most Orthodox countries).

First I stamped the white cardstock with the snowflake 

background stamp. I used VersaMark pad and 

sprinkled clear embossing powder over it.

Then I heated the embossing powder with the heat gun.

For the moon I cut out a circle with the circle punch and

used the double sided tape to stick it onto the background cardstock.

Then I used Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink pad to sponge/color

the whole cardstock. After I finished coloring I removed the

circle and wiped gently the whole background with a clean paper tissue.

For the top layer I used quarter of an inch larger white cardstock

and a Spellbinders Labels Twenty Five die to cut out the window 

(you can use any die you have at home to cut out the window). 

Before I glued the top layer onto the card with 

3D square foams I dry embossed it with the 

dot folder and distress the edges with the Tim Holtz distress tool.

At the end I added Santa & Reindeer Flying cut out and stamped

Wishing you a magical Christmas sentiment on the inside 

of the card. I used the red cardstock for the Santa die and 

distressed the edges with distress ink black sooth. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Simona
