Boo To You


I'm so excited to share my card double z fold card with you today...I LOVE IT!!!  I really am never sure what a project is going to be when I start and I sure was happy to see how this one came to life.  The puppy is just to cute.  I've attached him with twine where he will pull up and wish you a "BOO" but he won't come all the way out and get lost.  Nothing any sadder than a lost puppy, LOL.


Once you untie the bow a Happy Halloween sentiment is ready to greet you. 



Here are all the dies that are a must to make this card...be sure to scoop yours up as I hear they are selling out.






Hugs,

Halloween Shaker Easel Card


Hi Everyone...welcome to the weekend.  Today I wanted to inspire you with this Halloween Shaker card I created.  I love creating shaker cards...so much fun.  I wish I could show you better in the photo how the black glitter shakes around in the frame, pictures just don't do it justice. 

You can see bits and pieces here in there that haven't fallen down yet, but you still just don't get the whole effect. 


Want to know all the great dies I used for this card, here is the complete list.

Have a great crafty rest of the weekend...

Happy Haunting

Fall is definitely here and with that comes thought of Halloween and Haunting. I'm a huge fan of Halloween so when I saw these new dies from Cottage Cutz, I knew that I'd end up getting all of them. From haunted houses to pumpkins, lanterns to witches, these dies are perfect to personalize any of your Hallween crafts.

Hi everyone, Erika Taylor here today to share with you a "spook"tacular card using the Haunted House Border die. I love the detail in this set and wanted to create a background scene for the little My Little Shoebox bats. I die cut the images from some great Mica Metallic Paper from Paper Temptress to give a little sparkle to the card. Hauntingly delish right?


Isn't that Haunted House beyond amazing??? Love Love Love it!!! Not only can it be used as a border, but you can create great scenes with it. I love versatility when it comes to dies, and Cottage Cutz dies give so much of that. If you haven't seen the Halloween dies yet, make sure you take a look. Also I see some fantastic Christmas ones as well that are simply stunning.

Thanks so much for stopping in today. Make sure you leave a comment with all of the projects on the blog. We love to hear what you have to say.

Until next time
Toodles

Trick or Treat!






With Halloween quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a treat box. I used the Window Box tutorial from the Scor-Pal website. I did change the dimensions of the box, however, to make it a little bigger. (See the end of the post for details).

I loved playing with the new dies from Cottage Cutz - and actually, the Witch's Castle Door inspired the whole project.....because, the really cool thing is that you can make the door open!

So, I used the Halloween Fun stamp from Crafty Secrets to stamp my sweet little trick-or-treater, and glued her to a piece of acetate in the door opening. I glued some Autumn Flower Soft around her feet to look like leaves blowing in. She looks so shy coming to the door for a little candy. I added accessories from the Castle Door die, as well as the Lantern Mini and Owl Mini dies, to complete the scene. The Happy Halloween on the side of the box is from the Haunted House Border.




To make this box, please refer to the tutorial at the Scor-Pal website, but instead of cutting your cardstock 9 x 6 3/4, cut it 12" x 8 3/4". Your score lines will be 1", 5 1/2", 6 1/2", 11". After you turn the paper, you will score at 3/4" and 7 3/4".
