Vintage Rudolf

Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans!  It's Jeanne today with a card that reminds me of the style of Christmas cards around when I was a little girl.  This card is also quick to create and would be easy to make in multiples as we get down to the wire in the holiday cardmaking season!

I cut the reindeer from white and Crumb Cake cardstock using the Reindeer and Penguin die. 

I used Copic markers to color the hooves, nose and collar, and Distress oxide ink in Vintage Photo to shade the deer; then I assembled Rudolf.

 I cut a 5.5 x 4.25 inch panel from a vintage look paper and a circle from white cardstock using the largest of the Scalloped Stitched Circle die.

Using the same DO ink, I antiqued the edges of both and glued the circle in the center of the panel.

Next, I cut Merry Christmas in Real Red cardstock that I had backed with an adhesive sheet.

I assembled the pieces....

and adhered the panel to an A2 card base.  I added gold glitter dots as jingle bells on Rudolf's collar.  This card is quick to make for a fun vintage look.

Reindeer & Penguin In The Snow

Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I used another adorable die for the winter card.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Reindeer&Penguin),
- Distress Inks,
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- water color paper for background (13,5x13,5 cm),
- dark blue card stock for background (13x13 cm),
- water colors (blue shades),
- white pen,
- black pen,
- washi tape,
- snowflakes plastic stencil,
- white texture paste,
- heat gun,
- adhesive foam pads,
- paper glue.

First I colored the reindeer and the penguin.

Next I did the background. I colored on water color paper with watercolors. I used different shades of blue. I dried it with the heat gun. I also trimmed a piece of dark blue card stock.

Next I did the snowflakes with white texture paste. I let it dry.

When the background was dry, I assembled the card together. I used adhesive foam pads for the penguin. And my card was done.

That's all from me for today. Have a nice Sunday.

Anja Z.
