Anything Goes Challenge at Creative Craft Cottage!

The theme for challenge #50 at Creative Craft Cottage is: Anything Goes! It's still October, so I had to stick with the Halloween vibe. 

This awesome cutting file is by our sponsors this week: The Cutting Cafe!

I do not own any cutting machines. These images were cut by hand, distressed using Tim Holtz Distress Ink and glued together using a Zig 2 way glue pen.

For the spots on the witch's leggings, I used a hole punch on green card stock. On top of a scrap magazine, I held each circle still using a Quick Stick while tracing the outer edge with a green Sharpie marker.

This darling kitty stamp was stamped on yellow paper using Jet Black StazOn ink. Versamark Frost ink was placed on top and embossed with WOW clear embossing powder. I love the hint of shimmer Versamark Frost leaves behind!

This cute step card pattern was also from The Cutting Cafe. The slit in the center of the card stock can be cut easily using a ruler and X-acto knife on a cutting board or mat. Link up any of your fun creations by November 5th 2015 for a chance to win!

Lots of embellishments!

It's time for another challenge at Creative Craft Cottage! This fortnight's theme is Spots and/or Stripes.  I'll admit I forgot about the theme while creating my first card using a Rick St. Dennis image.  I've been battling nausea for a week now. Taking the time to glue all these small embellishments helped distract my mind for a while during the creative process and it helped a ton!

The small gold gems are actually tiny sequin-like embellishments found in nail art kits.  I had enough of a challenge getting these into the image, let alone my own nails! Needless to say, they are staying in the craft room and not with my nail polish lol!  The quote says "The warmth and kindness of your heart...makes you more beautiful year after year! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!" 

 The 2nd sponsor for the challenge is The Cutting Cafe.  I used their cute Pocket Shaped Card cut file to create a gift card pocket on the front. The message says "Wishing you a pocket full of birthday wishes."

Something yummy!

This fortnight's challenge at Creative Craft Cottage is: Something yummy to eat or drink!  I love the teapot shaped cards at the Cutting Cafe.  I don't own an expensive cutting machine, so this was all cut by hand. (With the help of a craft knife for inside the teapot handle)

  
Cutting out this piece was not as difficult as I first thought it would be. It was actually quite relaxing to fussy-cut this project while listening to music.

Supplies used include:

• Graphic 45 "Botanical Tea" paper pad
• "Teapot Shaped Card Set" from The Cutting Cafe
• "Weathered Wood" Distress Ink & Staz On Jet black ink
• 1/8" ribbon from the clearance section in Joann's
