Halloween

Hi, Janja here!

Halloween marks the last night of October. Since this spooky night is almost around the corner, I decided to do a Halloween card. During the autumn release of CottageCutz dies, I chose the werewolf die.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 4.3 x 5.5" (11 x 14 cm), folded
- white cardstock: 3.9 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm)
- black cardstock
- Distress ink: Stormy Sky, Black Soot
- white color
- masking paper

From masking paper cut out mists with scissors and with the 4th die from the circle set, cut out a circle. Paste them on a white cardstock.


Coat the entire surface with a roller and Distress ink Stormy Sky. After work remove the masking paper. With a white color and a brush repair mists on places where the color went to masking paper. At the end shadow edges with Distress ink Black Soot, stamp bare trees and a flock of birds.
Cut out the werewolf from black cardstock and four spruces with the snowy tree die.



On ready background fasten cutouts.



And a bookmark with a witchy ghost.


Prepare cutouts from color cardstocks with the dies: witchy ghost, spiderweb and witch brooms & hat.


With the die fancy bookmark cut out only the upper part, the rest cut out with scissors.
 

Attach cutouts to the bookmark, insert a string and add wooden beads. 
Cheerful reading.


And don't forget on our challenge #7 - fall
You have time to share your projects with us till the end of the month. 

Enjoy and have fun.

Tri-fold card with rose corner

Hi everyone, Janja here!

For today's post, I prepared a tri-fold card with a bookmark. I used a part of the new release of CottageCutz dies - This N That.
Let's see how it is made.


For the card we need:
  • white card base: 12.75 x 5.5", folded at 4.25 and 8.5"
  • patterned paper: 4 x 5.2" (6 pieces)
  • white cardstock: 3.7 x 5"
  • brown cardsrock
  • white pearl cardstock
  • cord and wooden beads
Fold the card base 2 times. With the largest die from rectangle set, cut corners on one side of the card base.




Cut out the patterned paper and roses with the dies: English Rose Corner and Victorian Rose Vine.

First make the interior of the card. The best way to cut the flap from patterned paper is if it is placed on a white card base and draw edge. 

Repeat the process on the outer side of the card. Cut out words - best wishes, and attach it together with the rose corner to the card.

For closing the card use self adhesive round pads. On is covered with tiny loops and the other with tiny flexible hooks. 

As a small attention we add a bookmark in the pocket. Cut it out of pearly paper with the die Fancy Bookmark and decorate it. Insert the rope and add wooden beads. 
We decorate same way the pocket for the bookmark, which was cut out from the patterned paper with the Fancy pocket plus die.
 


For the end I would like to remind you on our 

Ejoy and have fun.
