Spooky Cottage Lantern

Today I would like to share another lantern to use with an electric tea light.

To create this fun Halloween lantern I used dies from the new Spooky Boo collection together with Spellbinders S6-153 - Charming Cottage Box.

To die cut the windows in my box (aperture) I used Arch Window Insert die from Charming Cottage die set. Then I snipped the inside parts of the window as well as I cut slightly on both sides (only as much as the embossed line) and I cut a tiny arch at the top. I did all that so the window from the new Spooky Boo collection can lay over it. I die cut the Window in orange card stock and placed over the aperture. I used Window die from  Spellbinders S4-1071 - Spooky Cottage.

The Web and Spider come from Spellbinders S3-405 - Spooky Boo. I placed the Web on the roof and then I covered it with Wood Planks from Spooky Cottage die set. I placed Wood Planks on 3D tape.

I place an electric tea light trough the roof opening.

I have taken some pictures to show how I die cut the aperture for the Window from the Spooky Cottage collection.

I die cut first the Arch Window Insert from the Charming Cottage die set.

Then I snipped the inside of the window and then I cut out along the pencil lines so that the Window from Sooky Boo fits. 

Thank you so much for stopping by.

A Little Something

Today I would like to share a Valentines treat box. To create a box I used Spellbinders S6-153 - Charming Cottage.

Dzisiaj chciałabym pokazać pudełeczko z okazji Walentynek. Pudełeczko to wykrojnik Spellbinders S6-153 - Charming Cottage.

I die cut little hearts on each side and covered it with acetate from the inside.

Na bokach pudełeczka wycięłam serca, które zakryłam od wewnątrz acetate.

I also added a flower from Spellbinders S4-867 - Cinch and Go Flowers III. A sentiment comes from Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.

Na pudełeczko dodałam kwiatek z zestawu Spellbinders S4-867 - Cinch and Go Flowers III. Napis 'coś małego' jest z zestawu Spellbinders SDS-053 - Tiny Tag Stamp and Die set.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Six Ways to Use the Charming Cottage Year-Round

Today each Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team member shares their creations with the Christmas Cottage die. Charming Cottage is versatile and in addition to making a charming Christmas cottage - you can make things for holidays and special occasions throughout the year.

I created a Christmas Cottage scene using a Christmas Cottage box die. I just die cut at the front a square window using a die from Charming Cottage Box die set and added an acetate. On the top I added poinsettia from Cinch and Go Poinsettia die set.

When I had the box ready (windows and the background inside the box) I die cut the same square and created a scene on it and when all was dry and ready to go to the box I just added it inside. It is all nice and sparkle in real life.

I also created a box with sweets for a friend. This time to create a window I used a rectangle die from the same Charming Cottage Box die set. I die cut the box first and then die cut the window placing it just over the top fold. Then I scored the box and added acetate to the window. I used double sided tape to add acetate.

The Charming Cottage die is available on the Spellbinders website. UK Creators may purchase it at https://hopeandchances.co.uk and although it has sold out, stock is expected quickly and it can be preordered to ensure getting one.
