Hello everyone! I think this is the busiest my blog has been in years! There is so much going on and it’s not going to rest until next month at least. It’s so much fun. I hope you’re enjoying it as well!
Today I’m popping in with two cards featuring just the Halloween add on die set that is part of the Cuckoo Cottage Collection that released a few days ago with Spellbinders.
First up, I cut a bunch of the amazing shapes from the set and just started building them all to play with. Once I had those kitties put together I had this sort of mandala idea in my head. As it all came together, this is what I ended up with and I love it!
Once the arrangement was complete, I added foam squares to the back of everything and found this awesome sentiment from last year’s Hoppy Halloween mini die set that was a Deluxe Caboodle freebie but is now for sale.
I did some distress oxide spray playing on the background panel to create the purple textured look. Then added my images to Mirrored Arch labels – green and vellum before popping that up on the purple panel.
So while creating all the cute critters and things for my first card, I ended up with extras! What does this mean?!? Well, of course you have to make another fun spooky card! Since I had the cute Hoppy Halloween frog out for the sentiment banner I couldn’t resist creating one to go with the smaller Cuckoo Cottage images. Don’t they play so well together?!?
At it again with the distress oxide sprays for my background plus some Solar Sprays from Simon Hurley for subtle sparkle and color too. I used the Tiny Dots embossing folder on dark teal cardstock for the bottom portion and everything is adhered with liquid glue or foam squares and tape.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
