Hi there! If you'll bear with me... I was busy playing with something else entirely when along came July and I realized I have only seven cards made for this year. Actually, it's more than I thought I had, but I need a lot more!
So here are three today, all Cottage Cutz Santas from my never-been-used stash. For the most part I'll let the pictures tell their own stories. I've used a lot of retired supplies, old goodies that still provide a lot of fun.
First we have Santa hanging on a tree branch. A sleigh accident perhaps?

Keeping it simple, trying not to overthink it. A frame and an embossed panel can take a card design a long way.

The last card has a simple silhouette Santa with a landscape frame and designer paper. The few die cut snowflakes were brushed with Stampin' Up Buckaroo Blue ink. It might be the first time I've used that pad and it's several years old. The designer paper is a Simple Stories freebie that came with one of my Scrapbook.com orders.

I always have such fun with my Cottage Cutz dies, and I'm sure that's amplified by their low, low sale prices. They haven't had a new release in a LONG time and I cannot find any information regarding that.
I'll be sharing in two challenges:
NBUS #76 -- Darnell encourages us to use our 'never been used schtuff'. Each of my Cottage Cutz Santas are fresh out of the package.
Thank you for coming to visit! Have a happy day!
