Santa Express

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I am continuing to make a few more Christmas cards for friends and family.  Believe it or not I am almost finished.  My family all live back east so I need to get them in the mail very soon.   I am using a few new dies today to create this fun flip/swing card. There is also a cute surprise on the inside!

Design Steps:

1.  Use the Santa Reading to His Reindeer die and cut out all the pieces.  I used mainly Kraft and white card stock then colored the different pieces as needed

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

3.  Create the base of the flip card.  There are a number of great videos on YouTube to create the base.  Just type in flip card or swing card.  I used designer paper to create the layer of snowflakes and glitter paper for the snow on the bottom.  Glue the DP to the flaps and the snow to the bottom

4.  On the right side I popped up two deer as shown

5.  On the left side I popped up the largest deer and I cut a circle for the center using the snowflake DP and the Cross Stitched Circle die.  I also cut white glitter card stock using the Santa's Express Tag and glued it to the cross stitched circle

6.  When you flip open the card you will see Santa.  I colored him with copic makeres and nudged him a little off center so the card would flip.  For the Ho Ho Ho I used part of the Hot Cocoa Tag and just cut away the HO cutting it three times. Add a few snowflakes cut from the Winter Window die.  Stamp the Merry Christmas and your card is complete

This was a fun card to create.  I will probably send it off to one of my fellow card makers! Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate it!

Naughty or Nice List

Hi Friends!

Part 2 of the new Christmas release is OUT and ready for you to take a peek.  Just go to our online store to check it out.  It is fantastic and I can't wait to start to play with all the new dies.  Be looking for the Design Team inspiration coming soon.

For today,  I am using one of the dies from the Part 1 new Christmas release.  It features Santa and his reindeer with the naughty and nice Christmas list.  Hope you are on the nice list!! Hee Hee

Design Steps:

1.  Cut your pieces out using the Santa w/List and Reindeer.  I used tan, red and white card stock.  And with some of the pieces I just colored them with my copics markers such as the green and black pieces

 2.  Shade your pieces using inks and copic markers then assemble

 3.  Using the Winter Window die cut out the window in tan card stock and the curtains in a checked DP

 4.  Darken the window the ink, cut a piece of pale yellow to back the window and glue it to the back.  Glue on your curtains

 5.  Use a white A2 card base cut a piece of brick DP 4 x 5 1/4 and a snow bank for the bottom

 6.  Glue the snow to the bottom of the brick DP and then glue down the window

7.  Use dimension tape to attach Santa and the reindeer.  Stamp your sentiment in the snow and add the snowflakes.  Your card is finished
