North Pole Toy Company

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

We have three brand new releases in the online store. It's Christmas Part 1 (22 new designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 new designs) and a Halloween release (14 new designs). They are all currently on sale and you can save anywhere from 25% to 60%.

For my card today I am using the new Gnome w/Lights die and the North Pole Toy Company dies. I created a slimline Christmas card with these ever so cute dies. They are perfect for making Christmas scenes. 

The card colors are from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #808. We were to use mossy meadow, merry merlot & bumblebee for the colors. Optional was to make a masculine card. This one is going to a 7 year old boy for Christmas.

I cut the images with cardstock in the challenge colors. The background layer is a mossy meadow designer paper and I added a layer of vellum to soften the color. 

The card base is mossy meadow and measures 8 7/8" x 3 3/4". The designer paper is  8 5/8" x 3 1/2". Behind the North Pole Toy Company die I added another layer of vellum.

To complete my card I decided to add several reindeer and they are from the Santa Reading to his Reindeer die. 

That's it for me for this post. I hope I have given you a creative idea for a way to create some cute Christmas scenes with these new dies. See you on Saturday.

New Christmas Release

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam on the blog today!

I am thrilled to share with you that we have a huge new Christmas release and a spooky but adorable Halloween release!  Each die is so detailed and they really gets your creative juices flowing!  I am having so much fun getting started on my cards for the holidays!

Today,  I am showcasing the ever popular Gnomes that are all over the paper crafting industry right now!  But of course I think our Gnomes are just the cutiest!

Design Steps:

1.  Cut all of the pieces using the Gnome w/Lights and the Moose in the Forest dies.  I used green, green DP,  red, yellow, blue, white, purple, brown, black and orange card stock

2.  Glue the light bulbs to the black light line and also glue the holly berries to the leaves.  Then add Glossy Accents to the bulbs and berries.  Set aside to dry

2.  Use TH's inks and shade all of the pieces and then glue together using a fine tip glue

3.  Use a white piece of card stock cut to 8 1/2 x 7 1/2.  On the long side fold in half then take the front flap and fold it in half.  This will create a little tent

4.  Cut a piece of DP 4 x 7 1/2 and glue to the front tent fold.  I also cut a piece of green DP for the inside of the card measuring 7 1/2 x 3 1/2  

5.  Open the card up and glue down the green DP.   Next cut a piece of white glitter card stock 7 1/2 x 2 and create the snowy hill.  Glue it to the bottom of the green DP.  For the greeting I used vellum with the sentiment printed on it.  The vellum is slightly longer then the card so  that I could tape it to the back of the card.  This way nothing would show through the vellum

6.  Using dimensional dots pop up the tree and the little Gnome

7.  Add a few sticker snowflakes and a larger plastic snowflake to the card and it is complete
