We interrupt this Christmas Season...

For a little Halloween treat. Haven't the projects this week been amazing??? The new Christmas dies are simply beyond precious and I hope you've all grabbed a few of your favorites.

Erika Taylor here today to share with you my favorite Halloween Die. The Elegant Witch Legs die really has a tonne of options. From Witch to Barbie and everything in between. I've paired this great die up with my favorite Halloween paper collection this season. The Oct 31st line from Fancy Pants. I love the colors and the distressed look they have. I added a few small marker doodles to the skirt and the boots and then a layer of Helmar Crackle Medium to the skirt. This is the final product. I hope you like it.







Don't forget there is a new challenge here on the Cottage Blog. Use frames!!! If you don't have a frame die, create one using small pieces from other dies. You could win a gift certificate!!! You can find the challenge HERE

Until next time

Girl's Night Out

I think it's so fun to create a project that has a little surprise about it - this one actually has a couple! I used the Elegant Witches Legs in a different colorway, so it is perfect for a girlie card, rather than a Halloween one. Next, I used an arrow from the Airplane with Banner and Sign to point to the secret tag. The frame from Gothic Frame with Witch was added underneath my lettering to act as a tab to pull out the hidden message. It's so fun to challenge yourself to see how many different ways you can use you Cottage Cutz Dies!

Witchy Wishes

Good Morning Cottage Cutz fans! Angelica here, and I'm so glad you could stop by this morning - have you SEEN the new Halloween dies? Oh my goodness, they arrived in my mailbox this week and I couldn't wait to start creating! 


Pre-order these adorable dies HERE!

Of course, loving Halloween, when I recently traveled to Milwaukee and visited the Miller Brewery, I couldn't help but think their famous "Girl in the Moon" High Life logo resembled a witch.When I saw the "Elegant Witch Legs" die, it totally reminded me of the colors in the High Life logo. 



Luckily, I still had some of my favorite Basic Grey Halloween pattern paper ("Freak" in the Eerie Collection), so using that as my color inspiration, I created this card! I used some olive, cream and orange cardstock to piece my witch legs, and glitter to dress up the stars on her skirt. I cut extra stars and used those to accent the frame. VersaMagic chalk ink in "Hint of Pesto", "Pumpkin Spice" and "Sahara Sand" really brought everything to life. I used just a bit of Distress Stickles in "Peeled Paint" on her boots, and some rustic cream twine for that peek-a-boo bow. I finished the card off with a sentiment from "Lisa Jean Halloween" (Peachy Keen Stamps).


I hope you like it, I'm totally in the mood for Halloween now! By the way, have you joined our Cottage Challenge yet for August? You still have until next weekend to join in the fun and be in the running for a $25 Gift Certificate to the Scrapping Cottage!! I know there's at least one of these new dies that you just have to have!!
