Santa Napping Die + Video

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with us on this Tuesday in November.

Have you checked out the online store lately? The new Christmas dies are currently on sale and you can save 25%. It's a great chance to get some dies that might be on your wish list. The DT has been showing some great cards and card ideas for Christmas.

Today, for your viewing pleasure we are featuring another one of the new dies, this one is the super cute Santa Napping. And it's also a double feature because we have a guest designer with us. Sherry Wolfe, was one of the video artists who took part in the video hop a couple of weeks ago.

She had such a cute idea for this die as well as the Window with Shutters and the Window Christmas Friends dies. She has graciously prepared a process video for us. The video is attached and I have also included some photos of the super cute card that she has made.

Peeking Santa

Hi Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today!

Before I get started I wanted to share with you that tomorrow and Saturday we will be having a video blog hop!! Six talented YouTube crafters will be showing off their interpretations of some of the new holiday release dies during the hop.  The sneak peeks are amazing featuring some beautiful projects!  Please check out Janet's post to get all of the details!!

Now on to today's project, I am making my Christmas cards and this one is going to someone very special!  I just love this Santa peeking out the window!

Designer Steps:

 1.  Cut the pieces using the Window With Shutters and Window Christmas Friends dies.  I used red, green, white, brown and white card stock for all of the pieces.

 2.  Color and shade the pieces with Copic markers.  Add small rhinestones for the eyes and the centers of the poinsettias

 3.  Glue all the pieces together and add a small piece of yellow DP behind the window

 4.  Use an A2 white card base and glue a slightly smaller piece of DP with snowflakes on the card base.  Pop dot the window and sentiment to the front of the card

I hope you are inspired by all the new dies in our Store!

Blessings

Santa & Snowman Window Cards

Hey everyone! It's Janet dropping by to show you two cards I made using two new holiday release dies. The first is called Window With Shutters and it has a great window, complete with a header, flower box and shutters. This die could be used year round to create a cute window scene by itself or filled with characters of your choosing that fit in the window space.
.

Today, I chose to use the companion die set made just for this window called Window Christmas Friends. It includes adorable Christmas figures including a pine tree, Santa, Snowman and Poinsettias with greens for the flower box.

Since the Santa and Snowman are both cut when you use the set, I decided to use both in each card. Nothing should go to waste right?! For Santa, the snowman is saying hi when you open the card. The opposite is true if the snowman adorns the front. I also used the Nested Stitched Scallop Rectangles inside for the stamped sentiment and die cuts. These are such cheerful little figures!

To learn how I made this card including how I created the acetate window effect, click on the video below. I hope you enjoy this one because I had a lot of fun creating them!

Have a great week and thanks for spending some time with us here at CottageCutz.

Hugs,
Janet
