Hello Friends, I have to tell you that this is my first experience with Creative Cuts and I was pleasantly surprised!! Creative Cuts is sponsoring Caardvarks and I LOVE what the DT designed for you. Here is the link to see for yourself.
I have many many collections including a Santa collection that I bring out every year. I adore this Penny Black Santa and the chipboard frame (from Creative Cuts) was a perfect way to make him shine.
To color the chipboard all I did was press it right onto my distress ink. Right on the pad. So easy!
I cut out the mustache and the hat after deciding that the specs were way to difficult to cut out. If you don’t like to color this Santa is super easy and fast.
I love creating scenes with windows and usually have to create them myself so I loved having this window shaped card from CC&M.
The tree is so glittery and fantastic in person. You can see a little of the shine below.
This is how I created the background. I started with a small circle of yellow in the center only. Here is how I distressed the blues.
Check out Creative Cuts and More’s website you will be blown away by the variety that they offer. Next time I will be doing some of their adorable boxes!
The count down is on! There is only four more days until I choose the winner for my blog candy. Check it out here.
I can’t believe it’s Friday! Have a great weekend! Hugs,Kathy
