Hello! This is Sukie, with only a couple of weeks away from Halloween, I thought I would share one more card created with the Cottage Cutz Halloween die release. Today's card is bit different in that it's not traditional but a fun concept.

Christmas Duo
Hi!
It's Anja here. I made two simple cards for today's post. I usually prefer to create my own scenes on cards, but when a have to make more cards and don't have lots of time, I look for shortcuts. This time I used two dies from the Christmas Part 2 release, Fireplace Scene and Holy Nativity. You get two beautiful scenes real quick and you can easily make a bunch of cards to send to your family and friends for Holidays.
First I cut the scenes from white card stock and embossed it with two shiny embossing powders. Next I cut the square from the craft card base. I used the biggest square from the set. And last I trimmed a square (10x10 cm) to cover the hole from the back side to hide all the embossing powder leftovers on the back of the cut scene. And then I just glued all the pieces to the card base and my cards were done.
I wish you all a lovely week. Stay safe and healthy.
See you again next Sunday.
Anja Z.

Happy Halloween
Hi!
It's Anja here. I have another Halloween card for you today. This time I made a scene from a haunted house. I combined bits and pieces from some of the Halloween release dies.
For this card I used:
- Cottage Cutz dies (Spell Books & Potions, Spooky Ghost & Crow, Slime Cupcake, Spooky Witch House, Spooky Camper),
- Distress Inks,
- craft card base (15x15 cm),
- white card stock for die cuts and background (13,3x13,3 cm),
- black card stock for die cuts (14,2x14,2 cm),
- craft card stock for background,
- embossing folder (bricks),
- background stamp (wood),
- paper trimmer,
- paper glue.
First I cut and colored all the bottles, books and the candle.
Next I cut and colored all the pumpkins and other small pieces.
Then I started on the background. First I trimmed the paper.
Next I embossed the bricks. I tapped some color directly to the folder and put it through the cutting machine. Then I colored the edges with grey and black. I trimmed the wooden parts from the craft card stock and stamped it. I again colored around the edges to give it more dimension.
And when I had all the pieces ready I arranged the card together. And this is the final result.

Monster Cupcake
For my sentiment I used the Halloween Phrase die and cut the Trick or Treat words in a grape cardstock. I attached to the designer paper with Ranger multi medium matte. Then to finish off the card I added 3 star metallic enamel shapes. Well that's it for me for this week. See you again next Saturday. We are also having a Columbus Day sale with savings of up to 50% on select dies. Click here to see what's on sale. The sale runs through October 14.

Which Way to the Candy?
Happy Friday Cottage Cutz fans! It's Jeanne today and I have a fun Halloween card featuring an adorable ghost trick-or-treater from the new Halloween release! I love this new release - there are some really sweet Halloween images and I'm a cute Halloween (as opposed to scary Halloween) kind of gal.
This card features the Trick or Treat Ghost die and along with a few previously released dies. I started by cutting all my pieces from various colors of cardstock. I took my candy colors from Halloween candy themed paper I'm using for behind my ghost.
I cut a panel 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches from a coordinating Halloween text paper, a panel 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches from black cardstock and a circle from the candy paper using the third largest of the Stitched Circles dies.
I adhered the black panel to the right side of the card front and glued the candy randomly down the side. The sentiment is placed in the lower left with the top of the "T" in "Trick" 1 1/2 inches from the bottom and 1/4 inch from the left.
Next I adhered my ghost to the circle leaving most of his balloon above the circle.I cut the circle and placed the ghost so you could see the candy corn in the paper since that ties in the die cut candy colors.
I used foam dots to pop the circle up off the card front and glued the bat in the upper left. (I love those big eyes on the bat!)
Finally, I added sequins as a little "eye candy" and sparkle!
I hope you enjoyed my card today. Be sure to visit the online store for the Columbus Day Sale where these and other dies are on sale for a limited time! There is a brand new release a Christmas dies as well!
