HALLOWEEN VINTAGE BOOT...using a pdf file

this is so cute and since i won't be around by the cafe when october comes, i did not want to loose the opportunity to make this vintage boot image into a witch's boot for halloween.

hehe

The Witch's Boot

5.75" x 4.75"

this time what i did was i printed out all the parts in plain copy paper. (i normally print it straight on patterned paper). i cut each piece separately (just a rough cut-leaving around 1/2 inch from the outline) and used a dot of glue on that 1/2 inch to secure it safely to the cardstock i used. i then cut all the parts by hand again, hehe and assembled. actually what i made was a template, wink!

i stamped the stars on the green recollections cardstock (love that cs) and embossed the black recollection cs lightly (did not use the cuttlebug for this step but a bone folder) using a darice embossing folder my sweet friend sheena sent me. the embossing name is crackle, hehe.

maybe you can see it here a bit better. i also inked parts of the outline with a silver ink, just another subtle touch, as you can see.

the bow was made with a glitter nylon tulle i got at m's the other day on clearance and i added a light purple rhinestone that i still love, lol.

the green and black buttons were made with punches, glued on and stickled.

 enjoy!

now for all the file info and or to see what my darling teammates made, please click here to go regina's  the cutting cafe shop and or blog.

thanks a bunch for stopping by.

ANYTHING FALL

Hello to all my friends, followers and visitors.

As we all know: TIME FLIES. This is already my fourth week with 

"The Cuttlebug Spot" 

as one of Nilda's designers. Go ahead and click on the above link and have fun participating in the challenge. Nilda has some sponsors and you know that means giveaways :)

This week the challenge is 

"Anything Fall"

This is my take on it. 

A Shoe-House Fall Card

5.5 inches tall

This shoe-house is from  the

My Community 

Cricut Cartridge. 

Don't you love it already???? :)

You can find it on page #22.

I flipped it on my Gypsy so it will be looking to the right.

I used the Tiny Mosaics cuttlebug folder (one of my favorites) for the roof and the chimney. The chimney was added because I felt it needed something else in the top. As you can see it was a good addition, nothing fancy but it did make a difference. ;)

 The beautiful papers are from Prima. The orange cardstock from American Crafts.

 Remember you can click on the photos for a bigger view.

 The leaves to the left are from the Cindy Loo cartridge and the flower I made with a paper punch.

 Everything has been inked and blinged ;).

I added some glossy accents to the windows for a "glass like" shine.

The wheel barrel is from the Freshly Picked cartridge and the pumpkin from A Child's Year. I used the hide contour feature on the pumpkins.

 This is how the back of the card looks.

 and this is the inside.

 I added another pumpkin and more punched oak leaves to the inside.

 and here is that beautiful shoe house card again.

Awesome!

(many hours were invested in the making on this card)

lol...for real....I guess you gotta love what you do to really enjoy the process. 

 On another note,

 I want to acknowledge a person I met through Etsy. Her name is Krista and she used to be my customer when I first opened my shop. You all know I neglected my shop while taking care of blogging and I just started listing  again. When Krista saw my name on Etsy, she quickly contacted me to welcome me back. She now has her own shop and she just became my follower here. Krista was always a darling to me and as you can see a good friend too. 

This is one of the reasons I love the internet. I have made so many nice friends. 

You guys are a great example of it. 

I am very happy knowing Krista was real to me too.

Thanks Krista for the nice Welcome,you really warmed my heart.

Now, really quick........click HERE to go to "The Cuttlebug Spot" and see what the other designers have made for your enjoyment this week. Get inspired and have fun participating on this week's challenge 

"Anything Fall".

Love You!

and I see you again on Wednesday when I will be presenting the 

finale of Playing with Serenade.
