Boo!

Hello all,

It's Donna to share the cutest Halloween card.  I don't normally send out Halloween cards, but I just had to make this one.  The "Witchy Ghost" die is so adorable.  and I thought the "Spiderweb" went well with this set.  Both of these dies are from the 2nd Christmas and Autumn dies release. If you haven't been over to the online store, you should definitely go and take a look at all the new goodies.  



Inside of the card.

Here is how I put my card together:

1.  The size of the card is 4 x 4, 


2.  The first layer is die cut from the CottageCutz square set (the largest one) which measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2,

3.  The second layer is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4,

4.  To make the background of my card, I cut out a 2" circle and offset it on the layer, I distressed some inks to make the background of the card.  I added some distress inks to the moon to give it an eerie look,




5.  I die cut all my pieces and inked some of the edges,



6.  I added the sentiment, cutting it out with the smallest die from the cross-stitched rectangle set,

7.  I added foam tape to the ghost and die cut another spider out and added foam tape behind it.  I wanted it to look like the spider had a shadow going down the moon,

8.  The inside die is from the "Haunted Tree" which is also from the new release,

9.  I finished the inside by adding the sentiment.

Go with the Flow

Hello everyone,

It's Donna here today to share with you an easel card. I am loving these cute fish and shell dies. The fish are called "Happy Fish 1 (blue) and Happy Fish 2 (yellow).  They sure do look happy! I had so much fun creating this card....let's get started on how I created it.

This card is an easel card.  The base of the card is 4 1/4 x 11 long.  I scored at 4 1/4 and 2.  I added my design paper and then created all the elements on the card.  The sentiment was computer generated.


Here is a closer look at the fish 

 sentiment was computer generated

Here is started coloring the fish with copics. I love how the colors I choose they make the fish look so vibrant! After I finished coloring these, I used dimensional's to pop the fish on the circle.  

 I then colored the shells and then arranged them on the card.  I popped up the beige color shell over the yellow one.  I also used dimensional's on the green shell and used it to hold the fold up on the card.   

I cut out the largest cross-stitched circle from the cross-stitched circle set. The paper is already embossed with water like lines, and I thought it would make the perfect water background.  I used some distress inks to give the water an ombre look.  After adding all the elements to the circle die I adhered it to the center of the easel card.  To finish the card off, I added some bling to look like bubbles in the water.  I also added some tiny bling to the fish eyes. 



I hope you were inspired by my card.  Here are the list of dies I used:
