Happy Halloween card and FUN Giveaway

Hi there and welcome to CottageCutz Blog!
Today I am sharing with you my new 
Happy Halloween card I created with  
boooooeautiful  
 NEW CottageCutz Halloween Release.
  
The finished card measures 5" x 4 1/2".

To make card, start by cutting white card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 
score at 4 1/4" and fold crease to make card base.
To create the background cut a circle (use craft punch) for your mask to create the moon.  Tape it with removable tape and use your craft inks to color the background. Yellow, orange and dark orange was used here. 
The next "Haunted Mill" was cut on black card stock and glued on created background and black frame from Spellbinders. To finish card, add all pieces to white card base and decorate with Dew Drops and sentiment.  Don't forget to decorate Halloween Haunted Mill with white dots using white gel pen.

Fun for FALL

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all!
Cheryl here with an extra post to share with you all. My card for today was designed for Splitcoaststampers TLC challenge to use watercolor or any medium to color your diecuts with.
 

For my card I chose to use some older CottageCutz dies to create a FALL themed card. I love fall too, and just had to make something fun for fall...hehehe So I used the CottageCutz Mini HedgeHog, Filigree Leaf Pumpkin, and Mini Leafs all from the Scrapping Cottage.

While in California for a week, I came upon these paints and thought they would be perfect for paper crafting. So I used them and some water to color my CottageCutz leaves. I did mix them to give them a different look than just coloring one color. Love the look. Paints used- Lumiere Citrene , NE OPAQUE Yellow , and Red  

Also used some design paper that I bought at the warehouse sale this past summer. I got these packs of 25 sheets each for 1.20 each pack of design paper. Mind you they are all the same pattern, but what an awesome price so I bought tons of packs, and these were among those packs.

Ribbon is gingham, and the buttons are vintage and came from an estate along with the paints. I have listed the CottageCutz dies used below, and linked them to the store for easy finding.
 
 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,

CottageCutz Haunted Mill

 Welcome friends and crafters to a CottageCutz Halloween creation.  It's Carol here today.   Here is another Spooktacular die.  This one is called CottageCutz Haunted Mill.  Doesn't it look fabulous on this background.  It almost appears to be lit up!  To create the background cut a circle for your mask to create the moon.  Tape it with removable tape and use your distress inks to color the background.  Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Black Soot was used here.  The frames were cut on the Cricut from the Happy Hauntings Cartridge.  The bottom frame was distressed with Peeled Paint and stickles were applied for the glittery effect.  The CottageCutz Halloween Tag Topper was cut on black cardstock and mounted on green designer paper.
Thank you so much for stopping by today to view this project.  It sure is appreciated.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:

Stacked Snowmen

Hi all! Vladka is here today!

New Christmas SC dies are irresistible, I love them. It is such fun to play with them. This time I took 2 new dies: Stacked Snowmen and Snow. This Snowmen are super adorable. 
All I needed was something for my background. So, I grab my Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, put it some on my craft sheet and added some water. Here you have two possibilities: to press watercolor paper into the wet ink or to use sheet of plastic acetate, gentle press it into the wet ink and carried it to water color paper. I hope this make sense :) This is how I did it, because this way I have more control by color transmission! 
Some parts of snowmen were colored with copics and then I also took Snow expression and cut out the snowman from it and replaced it with three cut snowmen. You just need to cut out the snow hill and glue everything together and card is finished. 
Have fun! 

Card Supplies I used:
CottageCutz dies: Stacked Snowmen and Snow 
Card stock: watercolor and white
Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass
Other: scissors, paper trimmer, scor-buddy, glue tape, plastic acetate, craft sheet
