Elegant Deer

Hi, Vladka here!

I have another  Christmas card for you, this time with beautiful elegant Deer. So, let's take closer look to how I created it.




Basics:

Kraft cardstock for the card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white and kraft cardstock and red cardstock for die cuts

Other Supplies:

CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distress Ink:  Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Gathered Twigs, Brushed Corduroy
Other: Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, White watercolor in tube, piece of  dish sponge

1. First prepare the card base and use the biggest Cross-Stitched rectangle die and cut the rectangle out of white and kraft cardstock. With the scissors, cut of the white snow hill.


2. Put some white watercolor on the piece of dish sponge and drag gentle over the rectangle and card base. You can do the same later also on all die cuts.


3. Cut the Elegant Deer out of white cardstock and color it with brown distress ink.


4. Cut the Holly and Beries out of white cardstock and color ot with green distress ink. Cut also greeting out of red cardstock. You can apply some white paint also on these pieces.


Now put all pieces together as shown on my finished card!


I hope you like it. Have fun creating. And don't forget, sixth CottageCutz challenge is waiting for you. This time theme is HOLIDAY. You can linked your project here. And please, use only Scrapping Cottage dies.

In traditional colors

Hi, Janja here!

Today I share with you a holiday card in traditional Christmas colors. The card layout is simple and will not take us a lot of time.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 4.5 x 5.8" (11,5 x 14,7 cm), folded
- gold mirror paper: 4.25 x 5.5" (10,8 x 14 cm)
- patterned paper: 4 x 5.25" (10,2 x 13,4 cm)
- white cardstock
- red paint with blow-up effect
- Distress ink: Festive Berries, Moved Lawn

We prepare cutouts with the dies: elegant deer & wreath, Merry Christmas Santa, tea time doily, holiday wreath and the largest die from circle set.


Shadow both wreaths with Distress inks. For a super blow-up effect apply an inflatable red paint with handy pen on holly berries.


Fasten red patterned paper on to gold mirror paper and mat them together on to white card front. Add all the cut-outs as shown in the photo.


This luxurious gold paper has a highly reflective surface of the mirror. When taking photo, I had quite a few problems. Wherever I set up, I saw my reflection.


Thank you for watching.
