Fun Halloween Embellishments

Have you seen these adorable Halloween spider embellishments at the shop?  These cute little spiders are actually brads, making them very easy to adhere to your next card or scrapbooking layout.

We love how Linda used one of these embellishments to add interest and texture to her Halloween card.

Happy Haunting from Checkered Cottage!

Haunted Village Pail

Linda has just created a one-of-a-kind Halloween treat that we couldn't resist sharing on the blog today!  She adorned a plain paint bucket pail with colorful papers and the Impression Obsession die, Haunted Hill.  The pails are available to be purchased at the shop for $4.95.

We just love all the fun details that accompany this versatile cutting die.  Pick yours up today from the shop- hurry, though, all the Impression Obsession dies have been flying off the shelves!  This fun and easy treat would be the perfect gift for a neighbor, child's teacher, or anyone that has a sweet tooth!

How would you decorate this fun little pail for Halloween?

Halloween Happenings!

There wasn't a shortage of Halloween inspiration at The Cottage last week!  We hosted 2 fantastic classes designed to spark your creativity surrounding this fun Holiday.  Here's the recap in case you missed it!

Jan Conway's Halloween Card Class:

Don't you just love how Jan created dimension in these cards by utilizing paper rosettes and a scalloped flourish behind the witch?

Candice Meyer's Haunted Trio:

In this class, participants practiced layering papers, using intricate Memory Box dies, and edging borders with glitter and a gold leaf pen.  The Cottage just received a new shipment of the beautiful papers utilized in this "Spooktacular" class!  Stop by today to see our array of Graphic 45 designs. 

We would love to see what you create!
