Happy Halloween

Hi, Janja here!
Today, I share with you some ideas for Halloween. I made my creations with some of the recently released CottageCutz Halloween dies.



Supplies:
- CottageCutz dies: Spooky Cake, Spooky Cupcakes 1, Frankenstein & Ghost Owls, Halloween Pup, Circle Set (7th die from the center), Stitched Circle Set (6th die), Nested Stitched Scallop Circle Set (4th die), Cross-Stitched Square Set
- white scallop edge card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- black cardstock: 4.9 x 4.9" (12,4 x 12,4 cm), and 3.3 x 3.3" (8,4 x 8,4 cm)
- patterned paper: 4.7 x 4.7" (12 x 12 cm)
- white and colored cardstock
- washi tape
- pumpkin orange satin ribbon
- orange acrylic paint
- barbecue sticks
- glue, self-adhesive pads, double-sided adhesive tape
- Distress inks: Hickory Smoke, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Twiste Citron, Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade
- Memento inks: Dandelion, Tangelo, Bamboo Leaves, Sweet Plum

To begin, cut out individual pieces of colored cardstock. Color all pieces on the edges with Distress and Memento inks, and put them together.






Trim selected patterned paper and black cardstock with a paper trimmer. For a white cardstock, use the largest die from Cross-Stitched Square Set.
Since the washi tape is less visible on the dark background, attach it to a white strip of paper.


Now it's time to get the card together. Paste both main motives with self-adhesive pads on the prepared background as shown.
At the end, I embellished the card and paper lollipops with a clear Wink of Stella brush pen.




Paste cupcakes to paper lollipops, which can be used for decoration.
Kids will be delighted with Halloween lollipops, especially if we add some candy.


Color sticks with acrylic paint and paste them on the cardstock. At the end, tie a ribbon.




I really hope you enjoyed my project today. 
Thank you for coming over and have a nice day.

Baby Boy Explosion Box card



Hello to all !! It's Anita here with a baby boy explosion box. CottageCutz has recently released a whole new range of baby dies and they are all so adorable. You can check the whole collection here
Here is my explosion box card showing many dies and they give the whole project such a beautiful look.





Score a 6.25 x6.25 inch paper at 1" intervals on all sides and snip off the corners as shown. This makes the lid of the box. 
To make this box, Score a 12x12 inch card stock at 4" and 8" and turn the paper and score again.Cut out the four corners as shown.


 Cut pattern papers 3 x 3 and cut the cross stitched die cut. Distress with blue ink.




Cut the die cuts and assemble them together following the image on the paper pack.


Layer all the die cuts and papers together.


Make 3D flower and arrange in the centre with leaves using 3d foam tape.
