Holiday Pup

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

It is Pam on the blog creating with you today.  I hope you are all doing well.  I am continuing to make Christmas cards using our new release dies.  The card today is using the Holiday Pup.  I just love dogs so this die is right up my alley!!

Design Steps:

 1.   Using the Holiday Pup die cut out the pieces using red, green, white, yellow, black and brown card stock

 2.  Shade the pup pieces using ink and then assemble

 3.   Shade the gift pieces using ink and then assemble

 4.  I like to lay out the pieces to see how I will arrange them on my card

5.  Use and A2 white card base, a piece of red card stock slightly smaller then the white card front, a piece of green DP 4 x 5 1/4, 2 strips of red DP 1/2 x 5 1/4 and cut a white rectangle frame using the Stitched Wide Rectangle dies second to the largest.  Glue the red card stock to the card front add the green DP along with the red DP strips.  Next pop of the frame with dimensionals.  Place in the pup and gift.  Add the sentiments and snowflakes (I cut the snowflakes out with the Santa Over Christmas Town die)

Cookies for Santa

Hello!  This is Sukie and today I'm sharing this holiday card for my design team post.  The Baking Reindeer die is one of the most adorable sets in the new Christmas die release.

I used colored card stock to cut out all of the pieces and inked them on the edges.  I added some chalk to the cheeks of the reindeer.  A couple of extra bowls and a spoon were cut out to be used as embellishments.

I put together my card base and a Stitched Square which was accented with some Krafty Red Trendy Twine.  The Stitched Square was layered on some burgundy card stock.  The border strip was punched with the Fiskars Scallop Sentiment punch.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms (retired) A Holiday to Remember stamp set.  I also hand cut a basic flag in some polka dotted paper.

I put together my card base by placing the scalloped border along the edge of my card.  The square was added on top with the hand cut flag tucked underneath.

The Baking Reindeer fit perfectly inside the square.  The extra set of bowls with the spoon were added to the bottom of my card.

The sentiment was the finishing accent on the bottom of my card for a cohesive look.

Here are the dies used on my card, available in the shop:

Peeking Santa and Rudolph

Hi! Janja is here to share with you my first cards for the upcoming Christmas season.

- CottageCutz dies: Peeking Santa & Reindeer, Snowglobe w/ Fawn, Circle Set, Stitched Circle Set, Double-Stitched Rectangle Set
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
- golden paper: 4.9 x 4.9" (12,4 x 12,4 cm)
- colored cardstock
- embossing folder - lumber and softly falling
- colored ink pads
- glossy accents
- double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive foam pads, glue

To start cut Santa Claus and reindeer out of colored cardstock. Also cut the bottom of the snow globe. I used brown cardstock and embossed it with an embossing folder - lumber.
Before we assemble all the pieces into a whole, additionally color them with colored ink pads, to obtain depth.

Trim the pattern paper and cut the circle with a die.

Attach the patterned paper with double-sided adhesive tape to the golden paper. Now cut out the circle again into the golden paper. Use a slightly smaller circle die.

For a snowy background, I used an embossing folder - softly falling.

Stamp a sentiment.

Now it's time to finish both cards.

Have a nice day.
Janja

 

Rejoicing in Christ

Good Morning Scrapping Cottage Friends!

It is Pam on the blog with you today.

Each of the design team is creating a card to share on Mondays.  So please be looking for this extra treat and inspiration.  Today, I chose to use the die called Manger Scene. It is so simple to make multiple Christmas cards fairly quickly and I just love how it turned out!

You can see below that there are very few pieces and just a little layering!  I got this card done super fast and I will probably make at least 15 more!

Hope you enjoy this extra inspiration card.  I loved making it!

Christmas Scene

Hi!

It's Anja here. I got a full package of new Christmas dies and finally started creating with it. Today I have my first Christmas card for this season for you to see.

For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz die (Santa Over Christmas Town, Circle Set),
- Distress Inks,
- white card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- watercolor paper for background (14,5x14,5 cm),
- colored paper for die cuts (yellow, grey, green, black),
- perfect pearls,
- white pigment ink,
- colored sprays (shades of blue),
- masking tape,
- heat gun,
- scissors,
- artificial snow (dry),
- paper glue.

First I cut the houses out of white card stock. I glued piece of yellow and grey paper on the back.

Next I cut the trees from green card stock.

Then the Santa and his reindeer out of black card stock.

Then I cut the snowflakes and spritzed it with mix of water and perfect pearls powder to give it a bit of shine.

Then I started on he background. I used watercolor paper and spritzed it wit acrylic sprays. I dried the paper with the heat gun.

Next I used perfect pearls and dried it again.

When I had my background colored I trimmed it and cut a hole out for the moon. I colored around the hole with white ink. I also cut a piece of white paper for the ground. I used scissors for cutting this time.

Then I arranged the card together. I used glue for all the parts of the house and trees where there should be snow. On top of the glue I sprinkled artificial sow and let it dry.

And my card was done.

That's all from me for today.

Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.

Anja Z.
