CottageCutz Halloween Scene

Good morning!  Happy Sunday to you, and welcome to The Scrapping Cottage Blog!  It's Lorie here from The ThINKin' Spot  today to share another Halloween card with you.  As the time for ghosts and goblins draws near, it's fun to play with  CottageCutz dies, creating cute cards and projects to share with all the spooky and cute  Halloween visitors.

This card was created using the CottageCutz Potions Table 4x6 die.  I cut these pieces using colored card stock and sponged the edges using distress ink to define the edges and give some vintage style shading.  I arranged the pieces a bit differently than pictured below, and  there are still so many more ways you could arrange the scene or create new scenes with the variety of pieces that are a part of this die.  Awesome possibilities for being creative!!   I left the sentiment out for now, but a simple Happy Halloween, or "Welcome To My Lair" would be great choices for this card.

Here's a look at the complete die and if you click on it, it will direct you right to The Scrapping Cottage Store, where you will find it, along with so many wonderful dies.  Don't forget to check out our newest releases for harvest and Christmas seasons!  They are stunning!!

 

So glad you could visit today!  Thanks for sharing part of your day with us!  Have a glorious day filled with blessings and LOTS of happy crafting!

More Background Fun!

Hello everyone!  I am back with the card I said I would share with you using the CottageCutz Frankly die.  I made this background before I realized what a great cloud the hole in the ground negative would make.  For these clouds I tore a strip of paper about 3 inches long making a rough edge.  I then sponged Memento grey flannel to create the wispy clouds.  The negative stencil is much easier to use, and I plan on using it more often.

I used CottageCutz Halloween Scene for my second card.  The background is from a card that I made awhile back on my blog.  I didn't like the way it was turning out, so I started over.  I didn't throw it away because I thought I might find some use for it.  It was perfect for this little Halloween Scene.  Hope you like it!

Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

in my video I will show you my interactive pages. Love doing these in mini's

on these 2 pages I left them pretty plain, but did add 2 spiders from the CottageCutz "Spiderweb Border" they are colored too with Onyx. I also colored my flower and added a cat face to it.

For my last page here I used the Beautiful CottageCutz "Lace Envelope" LOVE using this in all my mini's, its perfect for the back page and adding either a spot for writing,pictures or just tags.

Isn't this just darling.  It's CottageCutz time and Carol here today showing you this die called Witch Cake Plate.  I am just tickled with this die and thinking next year I will use this die and host another Halloween Tea Party.  This would be a perfect image for an invitation to a Spooktacular party.

 I cut out all the pieces from the die and distressed them with Brushed Corduroy distress ink and assemble the pieces.  I applied glossy accents to the "cover" to make it look like glass.  Martha Stewart Spider Punch around the page was used to accent the focal point and I used spellbinders for the corners and applied purple rhinestones in the centers. 

This is was so much fun to make.  I just love CottageCutz dies.  They are a lot of fun to work with and very easy to assemble.   Just a reminder that we are looking for some Guest Designers so be sure to check out the information at the top of the CottageCutz blog.  Thanks for stopping by today and viewing my creation.  I really appreciate it.  This is the die that I used:

Cut N Up with CottageCutz Halloween

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to all!

Today I wanted to share a card I made using the DARLING CottageCutz Cat on Pumpkin die from The Scrapping Cottage Hocus Pocus Release.

For the Kitty Cat I used Creative Inspiration Paints to color him up. Next my pumpkin was colored by dusting. I also used Creative Inspiration Paints on the leaves.

I love this lil kitty, and think its perfect for halloween!! I also used Graphic45 dp and some random polka dot design paper too. I wanted a slider tag to come out from the front of the card for a hidden message, i think they are fun and neat to design.

The bat and Happy Halloween stamps are from Victorine Originals, and then I used some RRR for my bow. Lastly I added some sewing to complete my card.

CottageCutz Hocus Pocus Release can be found Here! Have fun, there are several DARLING cottagecutz to choose from :)

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl
