Hello 2019!

Hi!

It's Anja here. Year 2018 has nearly come to an end. It's been an interesting year for me. Busy at work, a lot going on in my personal life. But mostly positive things happening. It was a good year, I won't lie. And I hope good thing continue in 2019. Not just for me, but for all of us.

For my last crafty project in 2018 I made two cards. One with Santa and one with a Chilly Willy Penguin.


For two cards I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Chilly Willy Penguin, Santa Peeker, Circle Set, Pierced Circle Set),
- Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Pumice Stone, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Stormy Sky),
- white watercolor paper for die cuts,
- white, green, red, blue and black card stock for die cuts,
- Zig watercolor markers (Blush, Pink Flesh),
- watercolor brush,
- black pen,
- silver string,
- adhesive foam pads,
- stencil (brick pattern),
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored the Santa. I used markers to color the face. This time I used colored card stock and just emphasized the edges with Distress Inks.


I did the same with the penguin. I used black pen for the eyes.


I cut two sets of numbers. Later I saw that I cut 8 instead of 0 :)


Then I cut two card bases. I used pierced circles for the larger circles. I cut the largest circles form the sets.


I colored the bottom of the first circle with blue.


And I used stencil for the second one.


When I had all the pieces cut and colored I assembled two cards. I used adhesive foam pads to adhere Santa and Willy. Then I cut two short strings and glued it into the hands of both. Then I glued the numbers on the string. And my two card were finished.




Before I go I want to invite you to the Scrapping Cottage store to check the After Christmas sale.

Thank you for stopping by and following my crafting. It means a lot.
I wish you all a pleasant celebrations tomorrow and a happy and healthy new year 2019!
