Treats For You Halloween Card

Happy TuesDIE Cottage Cutz Friends!

Melinda here with you on this terrific Tuesday. Today I am sharing a fun and very easy card I created featuring dies that are part of the new Halloween Release.

Here's a look at my completed card. 

It is a standard A4 Top Folding card. I started with a black cardstock base. I then adhered a black and white dot patterned paper mat to the base. At the bottom I also added a yellow, white with black stitching strip of ribbon for a border.

I cut my die cuts out. Most of them were in white cardstock and I colored them in.

I cut the largest scallop circle in white cardstock but then decided I wanted to change the color. I didn't have the right color yellow, sooooo I decided to color the edges with my marker. This made matching the yellow pieces perfect.

Here's a closer look at the completed wreath with all the fun little elements. I layered it onto a piece of purple polka dot paper. And I adhered all that to a black pierced circle  mat. Then I finally put all of that onto the yellow scalloped circle. In the center I added the smallest scallop stitched rectangle and handwrote my little sentiment.

For the bottom border I added three of the bottles from the Potion Bottles die.

Midnight Witches Brew decorated lunch/gift bag

 It's that time of year!  What am I talking about?  Well, Halloween, of course.  It's Carol here today with a CottageCutz Creation!  Don't you love the bright colors of the season.  On this project for CottageCutz, the papers are just "screaming" color and fun "spooky" images.  Sure to "thrill" even the most "squeamish"  Trick or Treater!

 This is a decorated lunch bag with a little bow handle at the top.  Now I never had girls, but if I did, I would have used something like this for her to carry her lunch to school in on Halloween!!! lol  Better yet, I was thinking about how someday I might have a grandchild and this would be the perfect little gift bag to place some treats in to give as a gift.

 Isn't this a darling die?  It's called Potion Bottles and they were so fun to put together.  They are popped onto a panel that was created with a Martha Stewart Spider Punch around the Page.  This is actually a flap that comes over the top of the bag and has a Velcro closure.

This image is Midnight Witches Brew.  It was cut on black cardstock and black glitter is what is making it sparkle.  The little Tea Time Doily is the backdrop for that creepy spider.  And yes, I did scare myself with that spider!!!!  I don't care for spiders AT ALL.  I punched that baby out and was really intrigued by how it pops up at the legs-not so intrigued when it got tangled up with the paper and flew up when I moved.  I jumped a half mile then laughed at scaring myself with the darn thing.  We have spiders this big and bigger in the south.  I will be sure not to leave any punched ones hanging around!!!!lol

The flower was created with some black lace netting that was on hand and a recollection orange bling piece was added to the center.  The sentiment is a K&Company from my stash.  Quick and easy if you need a gift bag for someone special or want to surprise a loved one with a great lunch bag!  Thanks for visiting today.  I really appreciate it.  Here are the dies I used:
