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

Sweet Baby

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

Just for your info we have one more day of our amazing Black Friday Sale.  And believe me you do not want to miss these fantastic prices.  Today, I am using the little baby zebra from our new Safari Release.  And I am really loving how versatile these dies are.  Everything from birthdays to babies!

Designer Steps:

1.  Use a white A2 card base and cut a piece of polka dot card stock 4 x 5 1/4.  Using the Stitched Heart die second from the largest cut out a heart positioned as shown.  Next using the same heart die cut out a piece of star DP.

2.  Stamp the star heart with the word welcome.  Glue the blue polka dot paper to the A2 white card base.  Then fill in the heart with the star DP heart

3.  Next cut out 3 sets of letters using the Stitched Alphabet die.  Stack and glue the letters together with the star DP on the top

4.  Using the Safari Zebra die cut out the animal using grey, white and black card stock

5.  Put together the zebra with glue that has a fine tip for easy and accurate glue placement

6.  Pop the zebra up on the right side of the heart.  Glue the BABY letters below as shown.  Stamp the word sweet in black ink and layer onto blue polka dot designer paper.  Pop it above the word baby.  Last I added a little banner using the Spooky Camper die.  I cut it in white and colored with Copics and finally added two rhinestones to the bows

Party Gorilla!!

 Hello Friends

I hope you all had a very plentiful and blessed Thanksgiving!! I sure did!!

I am using a die from our new Black Friday Safari release.  This little baby Safari Gorilla makes a perfect birthday card with his hand full of colorful and festive balloons!

Use a red A2 card base, yellow card stock and a piece of Happy Birthday DP.  Before you glue the yellow card stock with the DP to the card front I added a strip of yellow card stock for the gorilla to sit on and a red polka dot ribbon.  Next assemble and shade the gorilla and glue him together.  Cut out all the balloons and black string then glue them into a cluster and attach to the gorilla's hand.  Pop the gorilla to the card and add your sentiment

I also decided to add a little fun to the inside of my card.  I used the Balloon Variety die to create all these fun shapes!

Gingerbread Gift!

Hello Friends,

It is Pam creating with you today!

Just a reminder that our online store is featuring some beautifully detailed Christmas dies.  The dies are from Christmas Part 1 (22 designs), Christmas Part 2 (21 designs), and Christmas Part 3 (12 designs).  All of these fabulous dies are on sale right now in the store for 25% off.  Just click here to check them out.

Today,  I am working with the Gingerbread Baker die.  It is perfect for making little gift bags full of gingerbread cookies! I found this adorable little gingerbread man cookie cutter.  So I am going to fill these bags with little tiny gingerbread men! 

Design Steps:

1.  Using the Gingerbread Baker die cut light brown, dark brown, red, green and white card stock.  Shade the pieces using a variety of ink colors and a small applicator

2.  Assemble the little gingerbread men using a fine tip glue.  Use a fine tip black marker to color in the eyes and then add a dot of white ink using a white gel pen

3.  Use a polka dot background stamp and stamp a small white bag.  Next I used our largest Scallop Retangle die to cut off part of the bag and to get a scalloped edge.  I also used an Avery Shipping Tag 2 3/4 x 1 3/8.  Stamp the tag in brown with A gift for you.  

4.  Loop the tag over the top of the bag and glue the Gingerbread man with the rolling pen on top of the string.  I only glue down the right side of the gingerbread man on the bottom of the bag so the tag could just slide behind him.  This way you can open the bag without ripping him. Your cute little gift back is complete
