Dear Santa, Define good . . .

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing a fun card for my design team post.  I used the Gnome w/Chimney to create this festive Christmas card.  This sweet die is from the Christmas Part 2 die release. There are so many adorable dies available in the store for those Christmas creations!

The word art card stock was the inspiration for my card.  I coordinated the die cuts to the paper colors.  I used card stock for my die cuts and also stamped a fun sentiment on a piece of red card stock.

The patterned card panel was layered on some red card stock for a pop of color.  I used the Oval die set to cut out the opening on my layered panels.  The die cut through the 2 layers, perfectly!

The first step in my design process was to affix the sentiment inside of the oval.  Next I adhered the snow mound directly on top of the sentiment tag.

The card panel was layered on a standard A2 sized card base.  I ink blended the background with some Black Soot Oxide Ink for a shaded appearance.

The adorable gnome with his chimney was tucked into the snow mound and centered perfectly inside the oval frame.

The sack of goodies was nestled into the snow next to the chimney finishing off the adorable scene on this card.

Here are die sets used on my card, available in the store:

Ho Ho Ho!

Hi!

It's Anja here with another Christmas card. I used one of the cute gnomes die.

 

For this card I used: 

- Cottage Cutz dies (Gnome w/ Chimney, Pierced Square Set, Build A House Set 2),

- Distress Inks,

- white card base (15x15 cm),

- red card stock for die cuts and background (14,5x14,5 cm),

- white card stock for die cuts and background (11x11 cm),

- green card stock for background (10x10 cm),

- sentiment stamp,

- black pigment ink,

- acrylic block,

- paper trimmer,

- paper glue. 

First I cut and colored the gnome in the chimney. This time I used red and white card stock for die cuts.

Next I trimmed the background pieces. I used the biggest die from the Pierced Square Set for the smallest square piece.

Next I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white paper.

And after that I put all the pieces together and my card was done.

That's all from me for today. Have a nice week and see you again next Sunday.

 Anja Z.
