Halloween Window Peeker

 Hello Friends

I am almost done making my Halloween cards for this year.  I usually make a few extra to start off next years collection too.  The card for today features a few dies: Halloween Chair, Classic Arched Window (Minus the Arch) and the Garden Window(cat)(I didn't use the window on this die because it was a little too big)

Design Steps:

1.  A2 white card base, 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 Green DP, 1 x 4 1/8 Green strip and a 1/4 x 4 1/8 in white strip

2.  Use your Halloween Chair die and cut out the following colors of card stock: black (spider, crow, lantern) brown (chair, broom handle, and box) green (pumpkin stems and leaf) orange (pumpkins) yellow (pumpkin, crow, broom and candle light) white (candle) Use the Classic Arched Window die (white) I cut the top of the arch off and added the sill to the top of the window.  Use the Garden Window and cut the cat in black. I shaded all the pieces with coordinating colored ink

3.  For the back of the window 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 piece of white card stock.  I masked off a moon and blended black ink over the retangle.  Then glue it to the back of the window.  Arrange and glue your piece to the DP as shown.  Add the sentiment and your card is complete

 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
