Penguin Love!

Good Morning!

It is Pam on the blog with you today!

Happy 2019 to you! I hope your new year is filled with happiness, joy and lots of crafty fun!  And before I get to my project I wanted you to know we are having a fabulous sale in our store.  So make sure you check it out especially if you got some Christmas cash!  On to today's card I am continuing to make my Valentines.  I am using the Christmas release Hugging Penguins!

Designer Steps:

 1.  Cut out the penguin using the Hugging Penguins die.  I used black and white card stock for the penguin body and red for the heart which I cut out with Fancy Heart die

 2.  Color the feet and the beck with your favorite markers

 3.  Shade the white part of the bodies with grey markers.  Assemble the penguin and add a small black rhinestone for the eye

 4.  Use an A2 black card base cut a piece of DP slightly smaller then the card base.  Use the Pierced Rectangle Frame die to cut out the frame then edge with black

5.  Glue the frame to the DP add a ribbon and then glue to the card front.  Use the Mr. & Mrs. with Hearts die and cut out the small red hearts.  Stamp the large heart with I love you.  Pop up the penguins and heart then glue the smaller hearts to the corners of the frame

Christmas Release Design Team Samples (Part 1)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the new 2018 Christmas release. There are 29 new designs in this release and it's just Part 1 of what we will be releasing for Christmas. And, they are currently 25% off for a limited time.

We have had a good response when we do a group post on a release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again for this release. We have 4 samples for your viewing pleasure today.

Card 1:  This first sample is from Jeanne Knobbe. She used the Santa Hat Cat and the Christmas Tag Toppers dies to create her card in traditional Christmas colors. The striped patterned paper and image panel placed on an angle give it that extra flair. 
Looks like the Santa Hat Cat is temporarily out of stock. But check back on that one soon. How cute would this card be for the cat lover that we all know. The tag toppers are a great way to add your greeting to a card. This design would be so easy to reproduce if you want to send several of these.

Card 2:  This next sample is from Lois Bak. She is great at creating such fun folds and this one doesn't disappoint. She used the Teapot Snowman and Sweet Christmas dies to create this super cute side step card. This card would be perfect for the tea lover or even the friend we all have who loves to bake.

Card 3: This next sample is another one from Lois Bak. On this card she used the new Swirly Tree with Stars  and Merry Christmas Tree Phrase dies. Love how she took her patterned paper strips and created a sunburst for such a unique and different Christmas card.

Card 4: Our last sample today is from Pam MacKay. She used the sweet Hugging Penguins and Christmas Tag Toppers dies to create this precious Christmas card. Her embossed background and patterned paper just add to the charm of this card. Notice how she created her image panel? She used the pierced rectangle die to cut her background and snowbank. It's a creative idea.

I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for ways to use these new dies.  And, remember they are currently 25% off in the online store.
