CottageCutz Halloween Night Scene & Giveaway

Welcome friends and papercrafts to this Spooky card creation. This is such a fun project to me. This style card is called a Funky Fold. The basic instructions were followed, but the ends were made 2-1/2" wide and just mounted on the regular ends of the card.

This is the CottageCutz Halloween Night Scene die. It's Carol here today. The background was created with distress ink with a masked moon. For the ends of the card, the Halloween Vine die. It was just flipped and the backside used to balance the scale of the card. The CottageCutz Halloween Tag Topper is centered for the Sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to view this little haunted creation. Sure do appreciate it. Until next time......Happy Crafting. These are the dies used:

Santa Stuck in Chimney/ Giveaway

Hi, all! Vladka here today!

Santa ate a little bit too much this year and now he is stuck in chimney. But, reindeers are on the way to save him and to save the Christmas.

Night sky was made the same as on some of my previous cards. I used different Distress Inks. I started with Peacock Feather, put it on my craft sheet, added some water and press watercolor paper into the wet ink, to get some splodges. Then I dried it with a heat gun and used another Distress Ink, this time Chipped Sapphire and repeat the whole step. The last Distress Ink which I used was Black Soot. If needed I used the same distress ink several times before I get to another color. After everything was dry I used also white watercolor tube and brush to made some paint splatters which look like stars.

The roof is made out of kraft paper, which was colored with orange distress ink and after that stamped on it with roofing tiles stamp. Corners are colored with white watercolor tube. Some dies cuts were cut out of kraft cardstock and colored with distress inks and some were cut out of white cardstock. I used Santa Stuck in Chimney die for this. Text is printed on vellum paper.

And don't forget, you still can join us in our CottageCutz Giveaway for the Month of October. Just leave a Comment on each post from October 12th-October 31st for chances to WIN a Gift Certificate to the Scrapping Cottage Store.

CottageCutz Halloween Matchboxes & Giveaway

Welcome papercrafts and friends to another CottageCutz creation for Halloween. It's Carol here today. You know you have those special "Trick-or-Treaters" that you just want to just do a little something extra for. These are so stinking cute. They are matchboxes created with the beautiful CottageCutz dies. These little boxes will put a smile on the recipients face. How about the teller at the bank, the cashier at the grocery store, a child's special teacher, or your co-workers. These will add some fun to you Halloween festivities!

You can find directions of making your matchbox tutorials on youtube or perhaps you own a matchbox die. This matchbox was created with black cardstock and cover with Halloween cardstock on the outside only leaving a 1/4" edge, The orange burlap is from the "Dollar Tree". The spider is a Recollection embellishment. Use any square die that fits you diecut image and top of box. The Cottage cutz die here is the Witch on Broom. The rose was created on orange cardstock with a 5 petal medium Marvey punch that are destressed with black soot ink and the leaves are the frond punch mounted on a seam binding bow.

This box uses the same basic design but with the CottageCutz Pumpkin and Bat die, I backed the pumpkin with black cardstock because I liked the way it looked and it made it show up well.

The third and last matchbox uses the same basic design with the CottageCutz Cat w/Pumpkins. The die was cut on Orange Designer Paper and again on Black Cardstock. Cut the just the cat from the black cardstock and mount it on top of the cat cut from the Orange Designer paper. The pumpkins were backed with golden yellow cardstock to match the polkadots in the Designer paper. The "Boo" embellishment is Recollection.

Thank you so much for stopping by today to view these sweet Matchboxes. Be sure to make something cute for those special people in your life. It just makes a memorable moment. Until next time......Happy Crafting. Here are the dies used:

Don't be angry with me, Santa + Giveway

Hi all. Vladka here today!

I have to admit, I did it also these year. I wasn't good and I promised Santa previous year. And now he has enough and doesn't want to talk to me and reindeer either. Is there still enough time to change this?

Cards can be fun, don't you think? I surely had fun creating it, specially because new CottageCutz Christmas dies are so adorable. I used Santa and Reindeer Resting die and kraft cardstock this time and stamped background with stamp and white pigment ink. I also used white watercolor tube and put it some on my craft sheet and added some water. Then I used sheet of plastic acetate, gentle press it into the white color and carried it to paper, to get some white splodges. Edges were distressed with edge distresser and after that with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. All die cuts were also colored with different Distress Inks. Text was printed directly on paper, I just added "Dear Santa" expression. Die is part of Christmas Gift set.

Card Supplies I used:

CottageCutz dies: Santa and Reindeer Resting and Christmas Gift set (Dear Santa expression)

Card stock: kraft

Distress Ink: Gathered Twigs, Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany, Black Soot

Other: scissors, paper trimmer, scor-buddy, glue tape, plastic acetate, craft sheet
