New Sizzix Dies

Hi Everyone!
Just a short email to let you know that we got some new Sizzix dies and embossing folders in recently. Click on the photo to enlarge. See you soon!

Spiderweb Die

In the mood for some Halloween fun yet? Well, this card is definitely fun- just wait till you see the inside! But before I show you the inside, let me introduce Halloween Birgitta from CC's August Release. She's so bewitching yah? For the sentiment, I cut out a pumpkin from my nesties and used my copics to add some shading for dimension. Then I stamped You're Bewitching using a stamp from the CC's designs Autumn Sentiments set. Framed it with my MS Web punch- I love that punch set!

OK- here's what you've been waiting for... Neat-o yah? The spiderweb was made using a Sizzix die and comes with the spider. All you have to do is attach one end with a brad, adhere the center of the web with a glue dot, close the card and wherever the center sticks to on the other side is where you attach the other brad! I added more spiderwebs to fill the space, but the focal point is definitely the 3-D web.


Supplies:

• Spiderweb and spider die- Sizzix
• Spiderweb punches- MS Crafts
• Brads- Making Memories
• Halloween Birgitta- CC's Designs
• You're Bewitching- CC's Designs
• Pumpkin Nesties- Spellbinders
• Cardstock- Bazzil
  

Haunted Basket

Just got in the long awaited Sizzix shipment last week and bought one of the Haunted Mansion dies. This an old design but was brought back in for Halloween. Its almost gone, so hurry in if you still want one!

Decided that the Haunted Mansion would make a neat box, so added it to one side of the box.. but it looked a little plain, so I decorated it a bit more... Added some individual spiderwebs on each side... then I got inspired!!! I used the new MS spiderweb punch for the handle! Here's a side view so you can see what I'm talking about...





The Haunted Mansion looked a bit lonely, so I added this ghost to the window. I totally CASE'd the idea from Mr. Barnes, who made his own ghost using the MS ghost corner punch and hand cut the body out. Thanks Don!



Supplies:

• Haunted Mansion die- Sizzix
• Spiderweb border, spiderweb and ghost corner punch- MS Crafts
• Cardstock- Bazzil
• Brads

Hurry in as we have limited quantities! Don't forget that today is also coupon day and the deadline to turn in your rummage sale items!

See Ya Later Alligator!

Isn't teamwork great??? Donna and Tracy came up with this card and box combo that coordinates so well together (just like them!). Donna made the alligator (or is it crocodile?) card using a sizzix die and then embossed him using a cuttlebug embossing folder to give him his alligator like skin. Love it!

Then she punhed grass from one of the new Doodlebug papers (I'll need to try that one day) and topped it off with some Prima flowers. Here's a close up of the alligator...

Tracy used the pie box die by Sizzix for her project and decorated it in the same paper and color scheme as Donna. Don't you just love it when projects coordinate together? Thanks girls!
