Polar Bear Fishing

Hi Everyone!

We are less then 2 weeks from Christmas and I am finishing up a few more cards.  I have mailed most of my cards out because they go cross country!!  As soon as I finish up a few things we pack up and head up to Ohio for Christmas.  We spend most of our Christmases there because my brother and sister still live in my home state.  I have one other sister who lives in New York and I am hoping she will make it down to Ohio for our celebration!

Today,  I am continuing to use our little critters from the Arctic Animals release.  They can be used in so many different ways.

Design Steps:

 1.  Cut all of the pieces out of white card stock using Polar Bear Fishing die

2.  Color the pieces using your favorite markers.  I used my Copics

3.  Assemble the pieces using a fine tip quick dry glue such as Combo

4.  Place dimension square on the back or you can use dimension tape also

5.  Using the Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangle die (the largest one) cut out a piece of glitter blue card stock and a piece of water DP 3 x 4

6.  Glue the water DP to the glitter rectangle and then pop on the fishing polar bear

7.  For the base use a white A2 piece of heavy card stock and cut a piece of snowy DP just slightly smaller then the base.  Add the scalloped rectangle with the polar bear plus your sentiment and your card is complete

I hope you are enjoying the days before Christmas and not letting it get to stressful.  Remember crafting is a wonderful way to relax!!

Blessings

Polar Bear Fishing

Hi! Janja is here with you. I made a winter card for today.
I'm sure you've seen our lovely latest release - Arctic Animals.  I used one die from this release.

- CottageCutz die Polar Bear Fishing
- white card blank: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- colored cardstock
- colored pads
- cloud stencil
- glue, double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads

Cut all the pieces out of white cardstock. Use colored cardstock for scarf, hat and fish. Color the edges with colored pads.
Once everything is cut and colored, glue it all together.

My background was made with Distress Oxide pads, cloud stencil and makeup brushes.
I used white ink to reflect in the water.

Prepare the card base and cut out a white frame that should be the same size as the card base. The inside dimensions of the frame are: 4 x 4" (10 x 10 cm).

Paste the frame on the background and complete the card.

Have a nice day.

Artic Animals Black Friday Release 2019

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Happy Wednesday to you! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today.

We are sampling DT cards using dies from the new Artic Animals Black Friday release. There are 13 new designs in this release and they are currently on sale. You can get this entire release at an amazing price of under $70.00.

These new dies are so versatile, as you will see with the DT samples. They can be used for a variety of occasions. The baby Artic animals  would make cute baby shower invitations, a welcome new baby card or a child's birthday card. The other dies are great for a winter birthday, thinking of you, thanks and let's not forget our Christmas cards.  
 
So let's get started on the samples for today. The DT has created some beautiful cards with the Artic Animals.

Card 1: Our first sample for today is from Sukie Dhillon. She used the new Polar Bear Fishing and created a great winter scene shaker card. Her card inspiration came from the design on her patterned paper.

The polar bear looks so content sitting on the ice block, nestled in his cozy hat and scarf.  The scene is framed inside the Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame.  The extra fish swimming amongst the sparkly sequins adds a bit of whimsy to this card.  The sentiment is a coordinating element from the same paper pad and was tucked into the corner of the frame.

Card 2:  Our next sample is from Pam MacKay.  She used the Artic Moose & Polar Bear die and designed a playful and colorful Christmas card. She created a circular frame for the images using our Cross Stitched circle dies. The designer paper inside the frame reminds you of an early evening winter sky. I love how the animals are sending their Merry Christmas greetings from atop a snowbank.  The winter tree themed designer paper adds to the appeal of her card.  

 

Card 3: Our 3rd sample for today is from Jeanne Knobbe. She is featuring the Artic Whale & Narwhal and the Snowy Mountain dies to create this animated card. The whale is enjoying frolicking in the icy waters of the Artic. The waves were made with an embossing folder and then she fussy cut the top edge. Clear epoxy drops were used to replicate the whales splash. The punny sentiment is so perfect.

  

Well, that's our samples for today. Over the next several days we will have more group posts and show a sample for each new die. I hope the team has given you some fresh ideas on ways to use these new dies.
