Fall in Pink

 Hello Friends

I am stepping outside of my comfort zone using color.  I saw a darling card online by Spellbinder (sorry the Artist wasn't mentioned) and thought I would give it a try using CottageCutz dies.  The dies I am using are the Fall Scarecrow and the Harvest Pumpkin.

Design Steps:

1.  Use a A2 cream card base and a piece of cream card stock cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.  Run the piece of card stock through an embossing folder.  I used a leaf folder and used ink to blend in a little pink

2.  Use the Fall Scarecrow and cut the following colors of card stock: pink (pants) polka dot pink DP (shirt) black (shoes, eyes, nose, shoes and the words Happy Fall) brown (sign) yellow (straw) cream (face)
Glue the pieces together to create the sign and scarecrow
3.  Use the Harvest Pumpkin and cut the following colors of card stock: orange (pumpkin, leaves and flower) yellow (leaves and flowers) green (stems and leaves) cream (pumpkin, flowers and leaves) Glue the pumpkins together and the flowers
4.  Arrange the pieces onto the card.  Pop up the scarecrow plus the orange and cream pumpkin.  All the other piece glue flat

Halloween Box Card

 Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends

I am making a small box card for Halloween for today's post.  This little box will fit into an A2 envelope so they are easy to mail to friends and family.  The dies I am featuring today:  The Spooky Halloween Castle and the Halloween Victorian Gate are the two main ones.

Design Details:

1.  Rather then me explaining the box card base I am attaching a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIcjFCe8H74

2.  Your box card should look like this when complete


3.  Use the following dies to create the scene for your box: Spooky Halloween Castle, Halloween Victorian Gate, Spider Web, and Spooky Tree Gnome

4.  Begin to decorate the box.  The flaps and bottom of the box I used a layer of purple measuring (6 each) 2 x 2 5/8 then added the DP measuring (3 star and 3 check) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2.  The back of the box is 5 1/4 of purple and white measuring 5 x 1 3/4

5.  Add the grass 3 pieces measuring 2 x 1

6.  Finish adding the die cut pieces
