CottageCutz - Boo!

Hello all,

I am here with Scrapping Cottage blog  to share the cutest Halloween card.  I don't normally send out Halloween cards, but I just had to make this one.  The "Witchy Ghost" die is so adorable.  and I thought the "Spiderweb" went well with this set.  Both of these dies are from the 2nd Christmas and Autumn dies release. If you haven't been over to the online store, you should definitely go and take a look at all the new goodies.  

Inside of the card.

Here is how I put my card together:

1.  The size of the card is 4 x 4, 

2.  The first layer is die cut from the CottageCutz square set (the largest one) which measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2,

3.  The second layer is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4,

4.  To make the background of my card, I cut out a 2" circle and offset it on the layer, I distressed some inks to make the background of the card.  I added some distress inks to the moon to give it an eerie look,

5.  I die cut all my pieces and inked some of the edges,

6.  I added the sentiment, cutting it out with the smallest die from the cross-stitched rectangle set,

7.  I added foam tape to the ghost and die cut another spider out and added foam tape behind it.  I wanted it to look like the spider had a shadow going down the moon,

8.  The inside die is from the "Haunted Tree" which is also from the new release,

9.  I finished the inside by adding the sentiment.

CottageCutz - Happy Fall

Hello everyone!

I am here with Scrapping Cottage blog showcasing the 2nd part of the CottageCutz Christmas and Autumn dies release. If you haven't been over to the online store, you should definitely go and take a look at all the new goodies.  The best part is the Harvest Scarecrow is 25% off plus many more of the new release for a limited time. Don't procrastinate, rush right over to the store and get some of these wonderful dies.  I love them all, I have so many ideas in my head I cannot get them all done fast enough!



I am featuring several of the new Autumn release dies, so lets get started on how I created my Split Step Card, it can also be called Side Step Card.  

1.  I cut all the pieces out and inked the edges.  My table was so messy, I did not get a chance to take a picture, 

2.  I cut the base of my card 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, 

2.  I then cut and scored my paper, where the red line is you put your paper in your paper cutter at 1" and cut down to 6 3/8.  The other lines you score at 1", 2", 3 1/8", 4 1/4 and 6 3/8.  This image is not mine, I found the image on google.

3.  After cutting and scoring the base of the card, I added my layers.  On the left side the layers measurements are 2 3/8 x 3 1/8, the plaid layer 2 1/4 x 3.  On the right side top layer measurements are 2 x 2 1/4, plaid layer 1 7/8 x 2, the second step is 2 x 1, plaid layer 1 7/8 x 7/8. The layer under the grass is 5 x 1,

4.  I added a couple of layers on the inside of the card to write or stamp a sentiment.  The measurements are 4 x 2 7/8, the white piece 3 7/8 x 2 1/2,

5.  I finished the card off by stamping my image on the second to the smallest die from the double stitched square dies.

Whew, I think I got everything!  I had so much fun making this card, I hope I have inspired you to make one for yourself.

Here are some more pictures of the card:
