Merry Christmas

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

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME! The Scrapping Cottage has just added a new brand to the company line. Lil' Bluebird Designs is being introduced with 16 new Photopolymer Clear Stamp Sets and 16 coordinating dies. There are stamps for so many of your card making occasions and then some. The coordinating dies just make it a perfect fit for your card making designs.

They are currently on a great bundle price at 40% off and the individual dies are 25% off.

And speaking of new releases, we have just introduced new CottageCutz Sentiments with Shadows. There are 12 phrases in this new release and you can pick the bundle up at a 51% savings or the individual dies at 25% off.
The shadow dies are so popular right now and they coordinate so well with the new Lil' Bluebird Stamps and dies.

Today for your viewing pleasure I am featuring the new Forest Friends Stamp & Die set. When I saw the cute little deer image, the birch tree and the pine tree in this set, I thought it would make a cute Christmas card. So that's the direction I took. I like it when stamps and dies can be multi-seasonal. 

I stamped the images and colored with alcohol markers. For the birch trees I just added a little shading with a light gray Prismacolor pencil. The snowbanks are cut from the Hills slimline die. 

Used some snowy designer paper for my background. Stamped the merry christmas greeting and this card is finished. I hope I have given you another idea for a way to use these new Stamps & Dies. 

That's it for me for this post. See you again on Saturday!
