Santa & Friends -- Two Cards

Hello again!  Back with more Christmas cards, this time of the Cottage Cutz variety.  These are the cards that make me smile and that's the most wonderful thing.

First up is Santa w/Reindeer Buddy.  They're the friendliest pair, waving a holiday hello.  The sentiment is an older set from Power Poppy, and the speech bubble is from another Cottage Cutz set.




I pressed the bubble into foam on the backside to give it more of a bubble effect.  Colored with Copics.  The stars and dark red background are glitter paper.  You may be able to see there is glitter on Santa's trim, but it's much more sparkly in real life.



Next, we have a Cottage Cutz combo of Peeker Snowmen, 'Tis the Season, and Icicle Set.  Designer paper for the fence, and a stencil for the brick wall.  Can't help but smile right back at them!



'Tis the season, for sure.  I hope you're having a merry one!

Both cards ae absolutely adorably cute and you know how I do love the Cottage Cutz, once completed they make you feel like you have really accomplished something, love these and I do have one of the two!! I just completed a Cottage Cutz order for one of the most pickiest CC dies I have (and still alive to tell about it), note to myself to not do THAT again, Hah!!

I love the dimension you have given that bubble and that your reindeer has mittens!
That paper for your particularly pleasant peepers' fence is so incredible and I love the 'graffiti' sentiment!

The Rockettes don't have anything on this fun duo dancing away! They sure make me smile! And those snowmen peeking over the fence are adorable! Wouldn't it be fun to look out the window and see their cheerful faces! Thanks for the beautiful Washi tape Christmas card! It's gorgeous and brightened my day!

Oh my goodness they are both too cute, but I will say the snowman lover in me loves that one even more :) I love how Santa and the deer are so happy together and waving hello, cool texture you gave to the sentiment bubble!
I love the snowmen peeking and the cute birds hanging out with them, cool drips of the ice hanging from the wall and love the fence with the greeting!
