Tutti Designs - 708 Merry Van

Hello! Let's see what you can create with Tutti Designs today!

Today i want to share how you can use Tutti Designs - Two ways!

These two projects aren't really too different other than

i put one on a gift bag and the other on a card.

For both of these projects i cut the die out of black paper. I traced the die onto white card stock to get a template base. I cut out the van as one template and the tree as another template.

I traced the van onto some We Are 3 Digital Paper - and hand cut those out. I glued the van cut out pieces to the black die cut. I did the same for the tree. As you can see the wheels are the same color as the van, so i used a dark gel pen and colored those in. The windows needed a different color, too, so i die cut just the windows from a light blue paper and glued those on top of the die cut. Next for a few accents. I used my gel pens to color in the ornaments, punched a tiny hole in the middle of the wheels and added small brads. I also added gems to the tree circles/ornaments.

Now to put the die cut on the bag, this is what i did:

I cut out a piece of We Are 3 Digital Paper - for the plaid base.

I then die cut a circle for the "moon" from We Are 3 Digital Paper - Watercolor Batik.

I used some Distress Oxide to the edges of the moon. I adhered the plaid strip and moon to Kraft cardstock. I had some jute and tied that around the plaid base which made it look like the van was riding on something. I adhered that base to the bag and then used some foam tape to add the van to the scene. I pulled out my favorite die - Tutti Designs - 468 Snow Flurries and randomly added those to the scene with some gems.

For the card, pretty much the same as the bag, except instead of the plaid, i tore some We Are 3 Digital paper to look like snow. I also used Tutti Designs - Coral for my tree.

I have used:
