Christmas bells

Hi, Janja here!

Bells are an indispensable element on holiday cards. On the card which I share with you today, I used the die Christmas holly bells from the 2nd part of the Christmas dies.

For the card we need:
- white scalloped card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- patterned paper in green: 5 x 5" (12,6 x 12,6 cm)
- plaid patterned paper: 2.5 x 5" (6,3 x 12,6 cm)
- white cardstock: 4 x 4" (10,2 x 10,2 cm)
- patterned paper: 3.7 x 3.7" (9,5 x 9,5 cm)
- white and color cardstock
- Distress ink: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Moved Lawn, Peeled Paint
- Memento ink: Cantaloupe

We cut out the bells and holly branch. For bells use a cardstock in the color of champagne, other cutouts are white.

We will also need a few spruce stems.

Shadow all cutouts plentiful with Distress inks.

Trim plaid patterned paper and attach it on to green patterned paper, and fasten both together on white card base with double-sided adhesive tape.
Stamp "Merry Christmas" on a small square. Attach it in the middle of the background with a foam tape, for more dimensions.

At the end, arrange spruce stems with holly branch. In the middle fix a bells with a bow.

Thank you for stopping by.

Boo!

Hello all,

It's Donna to share the cutest Halloween card.  I don't normally send out Halloween cards, but I just had to make this one.  The "Witchy Ghost" die is so adorable.  and I thought the "Spiderweb" went well with this set.  Both of these dies are from the 2nd Christmas and Autumn dies release. If you haven't been over to the online store, you should definitely go and take a look at all the new goodies.  

Inside of the card.

Here is how I put my card together:

1.  The size of the card is 4 x 4, 

2.  The first layer is die cut from the CottageCutz square set (the largest one) which measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2,

3.  The second layer is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4,

4.  To make the background of my card, I cut out a 2" circle and offset it on the layer, I distressed some inks to make the background of the card.  I added some distress inks to the moon to give it an eerie look,

5.  I die cut all my pieces and inked some of the edges,

6.  I added the sentiment, cutting it out with the smallest die from the cross-stitched rectangle set,

7.  I added foam tape to the ghost and die cut another spider out and added foam tape behind it.  I wanted it to look like the spider had a shadow going down the moon,

8.  The inside die is from the "Haunted Tree" which is also from the new release,

9.  I finished the inside by adding the sentiment.
