WMS Release Day Blog Waltz - A Cottage Christmas

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse September Release Day!  The Design Team is celebrating with a Blog Waltz using the 4th set being released this month - A Cottage Christmas!

The Waltz starts at Claire's Blog -  if you've come here from Sandie's blog you're in the right place!

I made three cards today using this set -  the first using the beautiful snowy cottage where I embossed a rectangle Nestability on the card, then stamped and colored the image and adhered it inside the frame with foam tape.  I added yellow stickles to the lamp, rhinestones to the circle ornamentation on the eaves and around the sentiment, and I used a silver pen on the chimneys so they shimmer IRL.  I kept it all in shades of blue to give that cold mid-winter feeling!!

and two using the snowman and trees included in this set. 

First, I embossed a square Nestability on this card.  I stamped my snowman, masked him and stamped the trees, then colored them with Copics.  I sponged the edge with Weathered Wood Distress ink, added yellow stickles to the lamp and Ivory Flower Soft for snow!  Then I layered the image to a black panel and adhered it inside the frame (after tying the ribbon!) with foam tape.  (I love the cluster of stars, don't you??!)

For my third card I tore some patterned paper and adhered Dazzling Diamonds to the edges before layering it over a black panel.  I stamped the image, die cut it with an oval Nestability, and sponged the edges before removing it from the die.  Then I colored it, added yellow stickles to the lamp, layered it to a scallop oval Nestability and adhered it on the snowy slopes with foam tape.  I paper pieced the trees, layering the smaller trees with foam tape.I added a punched snowflake stamped with the star and added some yellow stickles to it adhering it in the corner with foam tape. 

The snowman cards are both 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" size.
