Hi Folks! On this last day of the Winnie & Walter release, we have two of the cutest Christmas critter sets ever!! You saw some of it in yesterday's post, with the skiing bear and the dancing penguin cards. Well here's another image from the set ... a bear and his friend bunny dragging a tree they just cut so they can have somewhere to put their presents under at home. So adorable, these two! They're from Winter Wishes with Evelin T Designs.
Since the scene was so large, and since these sets have coordinating dies, I decided to make it into a 3D card with the bear and bunny popping out from the card base.
They pop out by way of a strip of paper I cut and folded into a rectangle. When the rectangle is open, the bear and bunny stick out from the card, grabbing all the attention, but also serving as a stand for the card.
Of course when the rectangle is closed, all the layers are flat and the card is ready to be mailed. Although the banners were hanging out earlier, these also lie flat. The banners were made by cutting out triangles and then stringing them through a double layer of gold thread. The letter spaces make a perfect spot to tie the banners to. Love how they swing back and forth after you stand them up.
The "season's greetings" is from In a Word: Holiday Tiles. To make "Seson's" stand up I just went slow while die cutting and stopped just before the cut was finished. Then with an exacto knife I trimmed the negative portions from the card base. "Greetings" was much easier, as all I had to do was die cut it from the patterned paper.
I was so excited to show you this card!
This next project is not a card, but an ornament! ...
I used all the pieces from the Essentials: Josephine Hexagon Cutaways and tuned them into an ornament. With a NARWHAL in the center. Saying to believe. Hahaha!
When it's time to put them away, you just fold them flat. Did you notice the narwhal's Christmas striped horn?!
To make them, you just fold the hexagons in half, and then glue them all back-to-back.
So much fun, I made an extra ornament with the leftovers. Nothing gets thrown away!
Then when it's time to store them for next year, they easily fold flat.
Well that's it! We've made it to the end of the release. You can see the other projects on the Winnie & Walter blog. As usual, leave a comment there for a chance to WIN all of today's goodies. The Big Giveaway
is also going on with a chance to win the entire release!!
Hope you enjoyed it all!
