Vine with Ornaments

Hi!

This is Anja. This time I'm doing a Monday post. I'm still trying put the new Christmas dies. Today I made some ornaments. I love everything wood related and that's why I choose this wooden ornaments and combined it with a vine from last year's wedding release.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Wooden Ornaments, Fancy Doves with Vine),
- Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Stormy Sky, Peeled Paint, Antique Linen, Tea Dye, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Mustard Seed),
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- light craft card stock for background (13x13 cm),
- brown card stock for background (13,5x13,5 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- scissors,
- white acrylic paint,
- tooth brush,
- four split pins,
- hole punch,
- paper glue,
- heat gun.

First I cut and colored the ornaments.

Then I did the same with the vine.

Next it was the background. I cut and distress the edges of the paper. I spritzed white paint all over it and dried it with the heat gun.

The I cut another paper for the background.

I glued bth papers together and then made holes in all four corners. I put gold split pins in it.

And then I just glued everything together. And below is my finished card.

 

Before I go I just want to invite you to the store to check Black Friday Sale.

I wish you all a stress free week and see you again on Sunday.

Wooden Ornaments

Hi!  Lois here with my Monday post.  Be sure to check the CottageCutz store because the Autumn Release is still on sale for a limited time at 25% off.   While you're there, be sure to check out all the new Christmas dies too.

My card for today went together relatively quickly.  I used one of the new CottageCutz Christmas dies, Wooden Ornaments with some pine patterned paper, and the card sort of put itself together.   

To start my card, I cut the die pieces from scraps that I had on my scrap pile -- the three ornaments from some tan cardstock and the accessories pieces from a scrap of white.

I sponged some Vintage Photo distress ink onto the ornaments and colored the accessory pieces with Copic markers, then constructed the three ornaments.

I cut the cardstock as follows:

Cream - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"

Red - 5 1/4" x 4"

Patterned paper - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

I then cut the Christmas sentiment from scraps of both red and white cardstock and constructed my card base, forming a sort of shadow behind the sentiment.

Using the pine sprigs for placement reference, I added the ornaments -- cutting a small section out of the hangers to make it appear that the loops went behind the sprigs.  The loops are glued down flat, but the ornaments are popped up on foam dots.   As I said before, the card went together relatively quickly.  I love that!
