Another Batch of Christmas Cards

Hello dear crafty friends!  So here I am again, still trying to get through all my not-yet-used Christmas crafting goodies.  I tend to always have too much Cottage Cutz because they're so extremely marked down in the sales.  I'll keep whittling away at them, but some may have to wait till next year.

Today I focused on Cottage Cutz deer and bear, with a whole lot of other well-loved extras from my stash to help in the making.  The first card design is thanks to the (past) Freshly Made Sketch #707 which I loved for using designer paper.  Thank you, FMS!

Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers,  Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes
Die-namites Slender Trees

Reindeer Postage next.  I thought I would make an effort to finish off an old Echo Park paper pad.  I'm not quite there yet.

Mix of retired dies and Power Poppy sentiment

The Folk Art Bear in the next card is not a Christmas die, but as a polar bear I think he works.  I put a poinsettia on his bottom and added a fitting sentiment.


Cottage Cutz Folk Art Bear, Penny Black Crystal Frames, Frantic Stamper Believe
Poppystamps Small Blooming Poinsettia
Poppystamps Believe in Magic sentiment

Finally, a Santa bear peeking over a snow bank in a stenciled birch tree forest.

Challenges:

Love Those Pretty Papers -- Optional Forest Critters.  My first card is specific for this challenge.
NBUS Challenge #80-- Each of the Cottage Cutz dies on these cards is never before used schtuff.


 




Thank you so much for visiting during this busy season.  Happy everything!
