Santa Gnome as St Patrick Let Your Light Shine Card

Hey crafty friends,
So glad you stopped in today!Today I am sharing a fun and cute card I created with some fun Cottage Cutz dies. Check it out.

The size of my card is 5.5 x 5.5. 

Here's a closer look at my cute little gnome. He is actually a Christmas gnome die. Take a look.

Here is the little gnome I used. I pretty much used all the same pieces of him. I did cut the wavy parts of the hat rim to make them straight. I left off the holly and little ball of the hat. I added an extra belt and buckle on the hat. I used the solid portion of the candy cane. Also for the shoes I used the piece that cuts out from the beard. It is a bit larger than the shoes. 


Here's a closer look at the tree trunk and the foliage.

Here's a closer look at the additional foliage.

TIP: I needed some blue cardstock but didn't have the right color blue. Not to fear, I just cut the size I needed and then colored the edges in blue with my marker.

Here is a closer look at my saying. I used the Retro Alphabet for the lettering. I did use the Q for the G in light only because the G in the alphabet is really big. Also, the little lantern is a die cut from the ladder die cut set.

Missing You!


Hi!

It's Anja here. Today I did a type of card I enjoy doing most. More elements combined together into a lovely scene. This time it's a winter scene with arctic animals.


For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Arctic Moose & Polar Bear, Arctic Baby Foxes, Tree Stump & Log for Peekers, Arctic Snowy Trees),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (18x13 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (17x12 cm, 14,5x9,5 cm),
- craft card stock,
- black pen,
- white pen,
- sentiment stamp,
- embossing ink,
- white embossing powder,
- heat gun,
- white acrylic paint,
- sponge,
- brush,
- scissors,
- paper glue.

First I cut and colored all the animals and trees.


Then I used white acrylic paint and sponge to add a bit of snow.


Then I cut and colored all the elements for the background. I colored the biggest rectangle. For the other element I just used a bit of blue color around the edges. I used a trimmer and scissors to cut the paper.


Next I did the sentiment. I embossed it on a craft piece of paper.  used white embossing powder.


And then I just assembled all the pieces together and adhered it on the card base. And my card was done.



I also did the inside of the card for more interest.



Hope you have a nice Sunday. See you again next week.

Anja Z.

Love Bandit

Happy Friday!  It's Jeanne posting today with throwback card featuring previously released dies. These Forest Peekers are always fun because there are so many ways and occasions to use them.
To start, I cut all the pieces from white card stock and used Copic markers to color them.  The marker colors are listed in the photos below.



When I was finished coloring, I assembled the main components.
Next, I stamped the sentiment on vanilla card stock and used the middle Nested Scallop circle die to cut it out.  I then sponged the edges with some Soft Suede ink and colored in the heart with the R29 marker.
I cut an A2 card base from vanilla card stock and two panels - one solid and one patterned.  These are each 1/8 inch smaller the previous one.
I stacked and adhered these together, then glued the images to the front of the card.
I used a white gel pen to add dots to the mushrooms.  The sentiment circle is popped off the card using foam dots.

I hope you enjoyed this card today.  The Forest Peekers are so much fun!  This set comes with a fox and racoon but there are several other dies with different animals if you have a favorite forest critter.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative weekend!

Celebrating Bunny Rabbit

Hi, Lois here today.  I have to tell you that I have fallen in love with all those cute little critters in the October release from CottageCutz -- In the Forest.  Today I'm bringing you a card which I was a bit unhappy with initially, but with the addition of a couple of elements, I am quite happy.


Supplies for this card are:

Cream cardstock cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half
Chocolate cardstock cut 3 3/4" x 5"
Cream cardstock, kraft cardstock approx. 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" for cutting ovals
Patterned paper cut 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Scraps of cardstock red, green, white, black
Distress ink - Weathered Wood, Walnut Stain, Bundled Sage, Tumbled Glass
Markers - black, pink
CottageCutz dies -  Deer and Rabbit Peekers, Tree Stump and Log for Peekers, Earmuffs and Mittens, Balloon - Round mini, Celebrate, Double-stitched Ovals

I began by cutting out the pieces from the Deer and Rabbit Peekers, the Tree Stump and Log for Peekers, and Earmuffs and Mittens dies.



I then sponged some color on the rabbit and stump pieces to give them some depth. I colored the inside of the bunny ears and the nose with markers.



I cut out the layers and die cut the ovals . . .


. . . sponged some ink for the grass and sky on the cream-colored oval and constructed my card.  However, at this point I was not very happy with the card.  It definitely needed something.  The bunny didn't really look too happy peeking out from that stump.  I had an idea about how to cheer him up, so I die cut the balloon and the word "Celebrate."


Now, he looked better.  Here again is my completed card.
