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

From our home to yours

Happy Friday it’s Wendy bringing you the blog today. I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and are looking forward to a weekend of crafting with the new release. OMG I was so excited to see such beautiful designs and I have had fun with a few of the dies today

Today I have used the Slimline Hills as my background. I cut this a couple of times so that I could offset them to give a point of interest. The top layer was attached with 1mm foam pads. 

I then cut a small border from the ‘Clouds Slimline’ dies for the top of the card

Next I cut out the houses from the ‘Winter Houses 2’ set. I chose just one design so that the houses looked liked they belonged on the same street. I’ve used contrasting card and these are some of my favourite colours. I found it easy to attach a piece of yellow card to the whole of the back of the house otherwise it would have been fiddly. I used a pretty white glitter card for all the snowy elements on the card as it gives the card a lovely sparkle

I just love the ‘Winter House Accessories’ die set as you can add so many elements to your card without them overpowering the design. I picked the dog, the snowman, the largest tree and the little fence posts.

The bottom left of the card looked a little sparse so I added the ‘Christmas Car W/Trailer’ to finish it off. 

I really hope that you enjoyed this card today and has inspired you for some Christmas crafting. I think these little houses would look great on tags too so I’m going to pull that together for a project next week
