Hello CottageCutz friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Saturday edition of the Blog.
It's new Christmas release time!!! We have new dies in the online store. Our Christmas Part 2 release with 36 new designs is available and ready for shipment. The individual dies are on sale for 30% off. It's only for a limited time so don't delay. You are going to love all the whimsical designs that are available in this release. There is something for everyone to make your Christmas cards extra special this year.
Today, I am featuring the new Holiday Dove w/Floral die. I created a Christmas card in non-traditional colors and one that would be easy to make multiples of. We are all looking for ways to save time during the busy Christmas season. So let's get started with some details of how I created this card.
Design Steps:
What determined my colors for the card were these designer papers from a card kit that I had in my stash. I had the card base in a light blue and the designer papers in a teal and a bright pink shade. Pinks and blues are trendy colors right now for Christmas tree decorations, so I decided to use them for my card.
Pool blue card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Teal designer paper layer: 3 5/8 x 4 3/4"
Pink designer layer: 3 1/8" x4 1/4"
Next, I cut the dove and greenery from cardstock. The greenery is in an apple green shade that again I am seeing in Christmas ornaments. In fact, I have Christmas tree ornaments in this very shade.
I also cut the Peace phrase using the Peace and Joy Wreath die. The smaller size of this was a perfect fit for my card panel.
Card elements are prepared so I am ready to start the assembly. I used double sided tape to secure the paper layers. I attached the greenery and peace phrase with clear drying adhesive. I used dimensional adhesive on the dove to lift it slightly off the background.
To finish off my card I attached the image panel to the card base. To balance off the right side I scattered a few teal sequins.
That's it for me for this week. I will be back again tomorrow with another sample from the Christmas Part 1 dies. See you then.
