Santa hitching a ride

Happy Friday Scrapping Cottage fans. I really hope you’ve had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead.  Today I’m sharing a simple and fun card with you, I just love the last 2 releases (well I love all Scrapping Cottages dies).

Firstly I took a piece of pale blue card measuring 6” x 4” when folded. I thought it gave the card a winter look. I then took the ‘Hills Slimline’. And cut them twice, one higher than the other so they could be overlayed. I glued the bottom panel but used 1mm foam pads for the next layer. 

I thought it would be nice to add some trees to the background and I used the trees from the ‘Winter House Accessories’ die. I cut them out of white glitter card and it is hard to see but they really glisten

Next I cut out Santa from ‘Santa’s Delivery’ die and all of the elements from the ‘Snowman Reindeer Die’. I cut the car out twice and layered it on top of each other to give it some depth. when you cut the car out,  it cuts the holes for the lights. I stuck a piece of card behind this and them and used some of my large crystal diamantés so they looked like headlights

I then assembled all remaining elements.I left the snowman’s arm until last so that it fit the steering wheel when put together

I attached the car and Santa using 1mm foam pads. Santa looks like he’s hitching a ride but I’m not sure that he’ll fit in the car. He may have to wait for his sleigh. I cut some holly from the ‘Woodland Christmas Set’ to put in the right hand corner out of the same glitter card as the trees and added some diamantés for berries

So here’s the final card. I really hope you like it. I had so much fun putting this together. I wish you a safe and happy weekend with lots if time to craft

Santa’s snowed in

Happy Friday everyone. I really hope that your weeks have been great. Today I’m bringing you a cute little shaker card. I really love this card as its is filled with faux snow which is so realistic. Santa has been snowed in, so he’s hiking a ride to help him deliver the presents.

To begin with I took a card, that when folded measured 4.75” x 3,75”. I then cut out the largest of the scalloped stitched rectangles and cut it out in red card.  From this I cut out the centre of the card with the stitched rectangle measuring  3,5” x 2.5”. I overlayed a piece of acetate behind the red Frame and attached 2mm foam pads all the way around the edge to give me some lift for my shaker card. I also cut a navy piece of card the same size of the rectangle I cut into the centre of the card, so 3.5” x 2.5”.

Next I took some strips of the slimline clouds and overlayed these into my design. It’s easy to get these the right size to fit into the design by using the same size rectangle as you’d did to cut out the centre of the picture

Next I die cut Santa, his sleigh and a present from the Special ‘Delivery’ die set and assembled over the snowy hills. I then put some of the faux snow onto the card before layering over the red rectangle. I used the joy sentiment from the ‘High Flying Snowman’.  So give the card a shake and the fun begins.

I just wanted to share a fun little make with your Christmas table in mind. This cute little place card is made with my favourite gingerbread die. When folded the card measures 3.5” x 2.5” and I have used the 2” stitched circle to place in the middle of the card. You can use you stitched rectangles to write or print names

I wish you all the very best for the weekend ahead and remember to take some time to craft. I will be back with you on Tuesday

Good morning Cottagecutz fans, it’s Wendy bringing you the Tuesday blog. I hope you had a lovely weekend. The weather has been kind to us in the UK so a lovely time of year for long walks.

When I bring to you a card, I really like to have a background story. In this card Mr Snowman has kindly helped Santa deliver his presents so that’s why Santa’s sack is empty

To begin with I cut out the elements from the ‘High Flying Snowman’ die. I’ve assembled some of the parts as I didn’t think you needed to see all elements cut out. Instead of using the ‘JOY’ on the flag, I stamped a sentiment, just to show you that there are other possibilities. 

Next I used some chalk to darken the clouds slightly and assembled the remainder of this element

Now to make the base of the card. I cut a card so when folded measured 5” x 4” in white and then took the largest ‘Stitched Scalloped Rectangle’ die in Navy blue and assembled to the card with 1mm foam pads

I then used the ‘Clouds Slimline die to cut a strip. I used the largest ‘Stitched Rectangle’ to cut it to size

I then curt the elements from the elements from ‘Santa’s Delivery’ die

To finish I assembled all finished items onto my card with 1mm foam pads. The Santas sack was a last minute element I added that’s why you can’t see it being cut out

So that’s my card for todays blog. I really hope you like it. Have a lovely week and I will see you Friday for another post

Snowball Fight!

Good morning CottageCutz fans, its Wendy bringing the blog to you today. I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are looking forward to a super weekend. Mine will be full of dog walks and Christmas crafting so I’m looking forward to that.

Today I’m bringing you a fun simple card. Santa and the joyful snowman are having a snowball fight and Santa really needs to get his reindeer ready for the night of present deliveries.

I have made a snowy scene using the slimline hills both on the top and the bottom of the card. I cut 2 hills out for the bottom of the card so that I could slot some items behind one of the layers.

One of the new designs I have used is the Reindeer stable. This is such a cute die and I thought one of them had to be Rudolph with his red nose. 

I really hope you enjoyed the card today. These dies are amazing and I hope that it has inspired your Christmas crafting. Remember to take time to craft!
