Elegant Deer

Hi, Vladka here!

I have another  Christmas card for you, this time with beautiful elegant Deer. So, let's take closer look to how I created it.

Basics:

Kraft cardstock for the card base: 4 1/4 x 6 inches (cut 4 1/4 x 12 inches, fold in half)

Additional piece of white and kraft cardstock and red cardstock for die cuts

Other Supplies:

CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below

Distress Ink:  Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Gathered Twigs, Brushed Corduroy

Other: Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy, White watercolor in tube, piece of  dish sponge

1. First prepare the card base and use the biggest Cross-Stitched rectangle die and cut the rectangle out of white and kraft cardstock. With the scissors, cut of the white snow hill.

2. Put some white watercolor on the piece of dish sponge and drag gentle over the rectangle and card base. You can do the same later also on all die cuts.

3. Cut the Elegant Deer out of white cardstock and color it with brown distress ink.

4. Cut the Holly and Beries out of white cardstock and color ot with green distress ink. Cut also greeting out of red cardstock. You can apply some white paint also on these pieces.

Now put all pieces together as shown on my finished card!

I hope you like it. Have fun creating. And don't forget, sixth CottageCutz challenge is waiting for you. This time theme is HOLIDAY. You can linked your project here. And please, use only Scrapping Cottage dies.

 

 

Puppy with a gift

Hi, Janja here!

Summer is going away and nature is already flirting with autumn colors. But on my desk Christmas is still everywhere.

For the card we need:
- white scalloped card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm)
- green striped paper: 5 x 5" (12,6 x 12,6 cm)
- two patterned paper
- white and color cardstock
- Distress ink: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, Black Soot

Trim green striped paper and place it on a white card base. Cut out a frame with the largest die from stitched wide circle frame set. Also cut out a circle with the largest die from the circle set.

Now we start with a puppy. We prepare cutouts from color cardstocks. Ink edges of cutouts and assemble the puppy.

On the upper part of the frame add some holiday greenery with spruce stems. Assemble poinsettia bloom and ink the edges.

Cut the tape and wrap it around the frame. Put the frame on circle and fix it with foam tape on green striped paper.

Complete the card. 

The puppy is so cute, that we can use this die also for other occasions during the year.

I would like to remind you on our challenge #6 - holiday. You can get more info here.

Hope you enjoyed my post for today.

Also, I hope you have been inspired by the talented design team and all their beautiful creations.  I have created my card using the new Cornucopia die.

2.  The first layer is 4 x 5 1/4

3.  The Third layer is 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 and the orange layer is 2 1/4 x 3 1/4

4.  Cut the cross-stitched circle out and leave the ring around the circle cutout and use a light distress ink.  

5.  I cut all my pieces (see the first diagram).  I cut all the pieces and matched all the small elements.

6.  I distress all my edges (see the second diagram) and started putting all the pieces together and added them to the cornucopia.
