Peace On Earth

 Hello Friends,

Guess What!! It is New Release Time!  The collection is Christmas Part 2!  There are are 19 new designs just as adorable as the Christmas Part 1 release.  For a limited time there is 30% off individual dies.  You can check all of these fantastic dies out right HERE!

I am showcasing two of the new release dies today.  The Peace on Earth with it's beautiful font and the Woodland Christmas Set specifically the gorgeous poinsettia.  I added a lot of gold for some extra Christmas bling!

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Woodland Christmas Set I cut the poinsettia out of striped DP, the leaves out of dark green and the centers out of gold.  Next I gave them some shape by using my stylus first on the back of the petals and then flipping them over and pressing down in the center of the flower.  For the leaves just run the stylus over the back of the leaves

2.  I used black ink on the edges of the flowers and leaves for a little depth.  Then used a glue dot or a strong glue to assemble the flowers

3.  Using the same gold card stock that you used for the center of the flowers cut out the Peace on Earth phrase

4.  For the card base use a cream colored card stock in an A2 size.  Cut a piece of Striped DP 4 x 5 1/4, a piece of ornament DP 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 and using the second to the largest Pierced Rectangle Frame die cut out a red frame.  Cut out a piece of dark green card stock 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 to place behind the frame

5.  Glue the striped paper to the card base, next glue the ornament DP to the center of the striped paper.  Glue the dark green card stock behind the red frame and then glue the frame to the card center.  Add the lacy foil trim to the top and bottom of the card as shown

6.  Next add the Peace on Earth phrase glued flat, the poinsettia and the leaves and your card is complete

Ride On Gnomie Santa!

 Hello Friends

Guess What!! It is New Release Time!  The collection is Christmas Part 2!  There are are 19 new designs just as adorable as the Christmas Part 1 release.  For a limited time you can save 55% off the entire bundle or 30% off individual dies.  You can check all of these fantastic dies out right HERE!

Today my Z-Fold card is using Santa Gnome w/ Silly Reindeer. There are several gnomes in this release and who doesn't love gnomes!!

Design Steps

1.  Cut the pieces out using the Santa Gnome w/Silly Reindeer and red, brown, dark brown, gold, silver, white green, tan and black

2.  Shade the pieces and assemble with a fine tip glue

3.  For the card base cut white card stock 4 1/4 x 11. Fold in half and then fold the front fold in half again.  Cut 2 pieces of silver glitter paper 2 7/8 x 4 1/8 and 2 pieces of navy dotted DP 2 1/2 x 4.  Next cut a silver glitter piece 5 1/4 x 4 1/8 and a piece of navy dotted DP 5 x 3 3/4

4.  Glue the silver layer down first and then the navy dotted DP down next

5.  For the Z- Fold arm cut a piece of white card stock 11 x 1 fold in half.  Then fold in half one of the flaps again.  Before attaching it to the card front cut silver glitter paper 3/4 x 5 1/4 and two pieces of glitter paper 3/4 x 2 1/2 and glue to the arm.  Glue the strip to the card front as shown above and below

6.  Using the Merry Christmas w/Shadow die cut out two in white card stock and glue them together

7.  Glue the Merry Christmas to the card front.  I decided I needed a little interest in the background. So I used the Slimline Mountain and Trees die and cut out the snowcapped mountains and the tree line.  I then cut them to fit the large background panel and the small side panel.  Then glued them down.  I glued down the gnome and reindeer on the front arm of the z-fold.  I also used the Snowflake Background Slimline to cut out a few snowflakes glued them down and the card is complete

Christmas Dog and Owl

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

Our new release for Christmas is available for purchase today!!  It has 40 darling dies that would make gorgeous cards, gift tags, banner or toppers for a bag.  In this release there is everything from farm animals to beautiful Navitiy Scenes.   Today, I am using the Holiday Hound Dog.

My card was inspired by a fun and playful design by Meghan Kennihan.  I just loved the sketch she created so I had to give it a try.  Thanks for the wonderful idea Meghan.  

Design Steps:

1. Start out with a red slimline card base 8 3/4 x 3 3/4.  Next use the Random Circle Slimline die and cut it out of white card stock.  Cut a piece of blue card stock 8 1/2 x 3 1/2.  Cut a piece of red card stock 3 x 4 1/3 and a piece of striped DP 2 3/4 x 3 3/4.  Glue the blue to the red card front, next glue the white random  circle piece to the blue and last mount the striped DP to the red and glue to the card front at an angle as shown

2.  Cut out a white circle using the Crossed Stitched Circle die second from the largest and a red circle cut with the second from the largest Pierced Circle die

3.  Using the Holiday Hound Dog die cut him out of brown, blue, green, red, black, tan and white.  Shade the dog and assemble

4.  Using the Moose and Tree die cut out the tree in green and the trunk in dark brown.  Assemble and glue to the card front as shown.  The little owl is from the die Snowman w/Woodsy Friends

5.  Pop up the dog using dimensionals add the little bulbs on the tree and coat them with glossy accents.  Add the sentiment and your card is complete

Slimline Nativity

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today!

Our new release for Christmas is available for purchase today!!  It has 40 darling dies that would make gorgeous cards, gift tags or toppers for a gift bag.  In this new release there are 4 beautifully detailed slimline dies perfect for those of us who love making that style card.  Today I am using one of them called the Slimline Nativity w/Wisemen.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using the Slimline Nativity w/Wisemen cut out a piece of gold fold card stock

2.  Cut your base slimline I used a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 base in kraft card stock.  Cut a piece of snowy DP 3 1/4 x 8 1/4.  And finally for the frames I used the Nested Stitched Rectangle Slimline.  I layed the largest one down on my cutting surface and then evenly tucked in the second from the largest and cut.  I did this twice to create a more sturdy frame

3.  Glue the snow DP to the card front next add the Nativity scene and last add dimension strips to the frame and pop it on

4.  To make the flowers I used the Christmas Farmhouse Floral die.  I cut 2 of the larger ones and 3 of the smaller ones in white card stock.  I cut the centers out of the gold foil card stock.  Also cut out one of the branches of leaves out of green.  To give the flowers a little curve I used my stylus and some foam.  Rub the backs of the flowers then flip over and push down in the center

5.  Arrange 3 flowers in the right corner of the card.  And place one in the upper left corner.  To finish the card stamp your sentiment in VersaMark and emboss with gold powder
