Halloween in frame

Hello everybodi, Vladka here!

I have to admit, this is my first Halloween creation. :) In our country it is not so popular, but it was fun to create something different. So I made this Halloween deco with wood frame, which I colored with white acrylic paint first and then also with black one.

I used different dies from Scrapping Cottage Halloween release: Haunted Castle, Spooky Ironwork Sign and  Spooky Iron Fence. I colored all die cuts with distress inks or with Copics and used also a little white tempera. When everything was done, I put everything together and for the final touch, I used a little gauze and wrapped it around one side of the frame.

Really funny dies to play with and I think it can be used for many occasions not just for Halloween. I need to use them again. :) Have a nice day!

Double Twisted Easel Card

Hello everyone...

 Simona here and I am happy to share with you a new card

I made for The Scrapping Cottage Blog.

This time I created a double twisted Christmas

Easel Card with beautiful CottageCutz dies:

CottageCutz Christmas Angel (4x4)

CottageCutz Homemade Christmas Gift Set 

CottageCutz Elegant Christmas Bell (4x6)

CottageCutz Wedding Chapel (4x6)

I cut the Christmas Angel out of white cardstock and used

my Copic markers to color it. The other dies I cut out

from various papers - glitter paper, Graphic 45

Christmas paper and white cardstock.

The little bells are from the Wedding Chapel .

The Christmas Angel was so easy to put together... :).

The card folds flat and it fits into regular DL envelope

(110mm x 220mm). 

Thank you for stopping by!

Hello Everyone from Olena

Today, I am sharing a NEW Halloween card  I created with Beautiful NEW 

Halloween Collections 2013.

For this card I used 2 dies from new Halloween Collection 2013. One call is "Spooky Ironwork Sign" and other is "Midnight Witches Brew" dies.

 

First,  I cut "Midnight Witches Brew" out using black card stock, Then, I cut out the central images out to make a Spooky Tree Frame. Next, I sponge the edges with white craft and added glitter on branches.

 

Second image I cut out and assembled using different colors of papers.  

Decorated card with Stickles.

Witchy Treats

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Kathy with you and today I have little Halloween treat bags I made using CottageCutz Large Confectionery Bag that I decorated with a new die from the Halloween Release called Fancy Witch Shoe.  These bags are perfect for the mini treats you give out for Halloween!  Wouldn't these be cute for children to give to their classmates?

I kept these real simple so it would be easy to make a bunch.  I used regular cardstock to die cut the bags, stamped them with a sentiment, and assembled them with scor-tape.  I then decorated them with the Fancy Witch Shoe die cut in black cardstock, mini black rick rack, and a bow.  To make the gluing easier, I used my Xyron Machine to glue the shoes to the bags.

Here's a little close up of the purple treat bag that has a mini Twix bar in it.

 

 

Here are the dies I used:

 

 

 

There's lots of different ways you can decorate these! I hope this gives you a little inspiration for Halloween! 

CottageCutz Candle in the Window

Hi everyone it is Carol here today!  Christmas is fast approaching.  Time to start thinking about Christmas Cards.  Today is a creation using CottageCutz dies.  I must admit I had to get creative with my dies to achieve this look.  But I do love how it turned out!

To create this card, I started with the Victorian Window Die which you see in the middle.  My idea was to put the Christmas Cheer Candles in the window-but they were slightly to big and not in proportion.  I realized I needed a bigger window.  So I created this window by using the Classic Arched Window.

The Classic Arched Window was die cut, then cut in half lengthwise, and the top arch was cut off as well.  The two pieces were attached to either side of the Victorian Window to get the size that I was looking for.  This is just an example how you can get creative with your dies!!!

To complete the festive effect of the card, I added some Recollection Poinsettia, a Bow, and a Martha Stewart Border Punch at the top of the card.  The Winter Pine Branch was used as the leaves under the Poinsettia.  This was so fun to make and I just love how it turned out.  Thanks for visiting today.  I sure do appreciate it.  Happy Crafting!

Autumn Leaves & Santa's Retreat Bendy fold

Hello everyone, today I have 2 Bendy Cards to share with you all!  If you would like to see how I made my these bendy cards, I do have a video tutorial here on my blog! 

This 1st card is called "Autumn Leaves" I thought it was perfect for this card, as it has lots of leaves and autumn colors on it.

I used TONS of CottageCutz dies for my card here lots are from the Harvest Release found Here

CottageCutz Spring Tree

CottageCutz Fence Border

CottageCutz Grass Border

I LOVE Acorn Owl, as he is super CUTE and Easy to make. I also LOVE the Hedgehog Mini, and sunflower Mini. I will be making another Autumn Leaves Card, just have to design it a little different from this one.

Most pieces were distressed and others were colored with copics. For the Hedgehog I used Viva Pearl Pen for the eye and the nose.The mushrooms,leaves and grass were all dusted. The tree's were cut out with colored card stock. and then I added some flower soft to those, to give it a fall look. My Acorn Owl was colored with copics.

Sentiments are all StampinUp!

I made a pocket out of the fence border, and stuck a love tag on the left side stamped with a sentiment. 

Santa's Retreat Bendy Fold Card

I absolutely LOVE making these Bendy Fold cards! they are so addicting and super fun to make!!! 

Lots of CottageCutz dies used on this one here!!!

CottageCutz Santa's Retreat Die

CottageCutz Penquin with Tree Die

CottageCutz Santa Peeker Die

 CottageCutz Holiday Carolers 

CottageCutz Reindog

CottageCutz Santa Chair & Boots

CottageCutz Santa's Coat & Rack

CottageCutz Mouse with Candy Cane

I started this card by cutting a TON of these tree's from the Penguin die. I wanted the look of a forest for Santa's Retreat!  I figured it was the perfect name for this card, as its all about Santa and a relaxing place for him!!

Of course Santa needs some friends at his retreat, or around his retreat, so I decided to use the darling CottageCutz Reindog too, he is super CUTE!!!

For the inside middle, I figured I would use Santa's Chair and have his boots , jacket and cap there too. And to top it all off, I used dear Sweet Santa Peeker on the top!

I really had a LOT of FUN making this card. This one did take me awhile to create, as I had to cut sooo many tree's and cutz and coloring, but in the end it was well worth the effort I put into it.
