Victorian Bird Bath

It's Carol here at Cottage Cutz at The Scrapping Cottage!  Today I have created a card with the Victorian Bird Bath die.  I love playing with these dies.  It's so relaxing to cut and piece the dies into beautiful images.  I painted my image and flowers with Tattered Angels Glitter Glam in Twinkle Toes.  It not only sparkles but has a nice glimmer.

Rangers Distress Ink was used to color the images.  The Victorian Bird Bath was done with Tea Dye and the trim in Brushed Corduroy.  The birds and flowers were done in Dusty Concord.  The leaves are Peeled Paint.
Here is the die I used to create this card. Isn't it so pretty and sweet. It is from the Victorian Garden Collection by CottageCutz that you can find here.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

Spooky Halloween

Hello friends!  Today I have a spooky scene to share with you.  I love Halloween and had a lot of fun making this card!  The size of the card is 5x7.  I started by making the moon.  I love making the night sky!  I cut the CottageCutz Bats on Branch from white cardstock and used my Copics to color them.  I cut the fence from black cardstock with the CottageCutz Picket Fence Border Die.  Love the size of this die!  Finally, I used the CottageCutz  Pumpkin Trio die for the jack-o-lanterns.  I assembled the card, added some white gel highlights, and some cobwebs to complete the card.


Thank you so much for visiting our blog.  We hope you enjoy the variety of styles we use to bring inspiration to you.  Have a great day!

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

Halloween Tag


Today's Project is a large tag to use either in a mini album or by itself. I created my tag using the New CottageCutz Hocus Pocus Halloween Release, LOVE this release

I also used the CottageCutz Topiary & Pot die, and then colored the pot with Faber Castells. I did airbrush the greenery with copics. I thought it would be cute to use the witches legs(from CottageCutz Cupcakes and Toppers die) coming out of the bush....heheheheheh



 I love using the CottageCutz Pumpkin Background and thought it would be perfect on a tag. I added some gems,bow, and a button to complete my tag!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

 "Boo to You"!  Hello everyone it's Carol today and welcome to another CottageCutz project.  You know that I just adore these dies.  They are so fun to work with.  The Halloween collection is outstanding.  This week I worked with the "Gothic Gate". 
 On one of my trips to the "Dollar Tree" I had seen a Halloween Haunted House Box that I thought would be perfect for this project so I picked it up.  I used some K & Company paper to cover the box and then die cut the Gothic Gate four times and applied around the four sides of the box.  I used card stock in Halloween colors to paper piece the design.  I did apply a little black distress ink to the skeleton head.
 I decorated the roof with a Martha Stewart Iron Gate Border Punch and also around the edge of the box top with Drippy Goo.  The Ghosts and Bats were a Recollection sticker pack and the Boo Sign with the Squiggly Eyes are K & Company.
Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.

More Halloween Fun

Hello friends!  Today I have another Halloween card to share with you.  I have been loving what the other designers have been sharing with their CottageCutz dies.  I used the CottageCutz Witches Clothesline to make my card.  This die is so fun.  I used the tree from this die last week.  I can see using this tree often on Fall cards or winter scenes.  The lamp-post could be used as part of a scene by changing the color and adding a wreath.  I always try to think of ways I could use the die for more versatility.


I used a dark cardstock for the sky and added some chalk ink with a sponge to make it look a little foggy.  I used black cardstock for the black images.  The other images were cut from white and colored with Prismacolor colored pencils.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have some time to enjoy this beautiful Fall weather we have been having.

Hugs and smiles,
Janice

CottageCutz Halloween Treats

Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a Treat Box I decorated up, for my Niece!
I used the Super SWEET CottageCutz Halloween Gothic Gate for the bottom of my box! I LOVE this gate, it was super fun to color up and put together!!  I colored the gate with Faber Castell Pit Artist Pen, and then added some stickle to the gate. Next the pumpkins were dusted with Tim Holtz ink.
I also used other Faber Castell to color with.

For the top of the box i tied some Tulle that I sprayed with Glimmer Mist Black. My box remains empty until I can get back to the store to buy the yummy candy to put in this :)


The Big bow is a Hair bow I made using all Really Reasonable Ribbon. I glued it onto a hairpin piece. For the center I added a brad, that I glued on. 





Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
Hugs,

Spooky Halloween Calendar


Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all!
Today I'm sharing my Spooky Halloween Calendar for the Month of October, its  a Calendar month for my 2013 Yearly Calendar project I'm making for The Scrapping Cottage using all DARLING CottageCutz dies.

On my Calendar I just had to use the New CottageCutz "Hocus Pocus Halloween Release" from The Scrapping Cottage.

I decided to use the super sweet CottageCutz "Bats on Branch" and the DARLING  CottageCutz "Halloween Owls"

For the CottageCutz Bats on Branch, I ended up airbrushing them with copics, and then added black pearl eyes to each of the bats.
Next for the Super DARLING and spooky CottageCutz Halloween Owl I airbrushed him too, and then used the Faber Castell Pit Artist Pen in warm grey. Next I used the Faber Castell Gelato in Silver.

Behind the bottom Photo Matt I used Really Reasonable Ribbons Web Netting and thought it was a perfect touch for this layout.  I also did sewing in black, as I love to sew on my projects.


CottageCutz Dies Used:





Thank you for looking and have a Lovely Weekend!!!

CottageCutz Haunted House

Look at this Haunted House.  I have been wanting a really cool Haunted House for a long time.  I have had my eye on the PSX Haunted House forever but the price of that has been outrageous on the auction boards.  But along comes this CottageCutz die and I am in love-it's perfect.
 To make the Harvest Moon I die cut the second largest circle in the Spellbinders scalloped and circle sets.  I then distress inked with Rangers Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door.  The Ghost are from my stash of K & Company Die Cuts, the pumpkins are K & Company Stickers.  The spider corners, the bats, drippy goo, and the fence are Martha Stewart punches.  The "Boo" Sentiment is a Recollection sticker.
 The haunted house and all the black card stock was painted with glitter glue and black glitter was applied.  This is that very cool die from CottageCutz that I used for the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day!
