Miss Kate Cuttables Guest Design Team

Hi! This is Jenny Fruchey from Jen's Crafty Place as your Guest Designer today! I can't wait to share my Halloween card with all of you!

This adorable die cut is from Miss Kate Cuttables Witch in Cauldron. This is a larger card size then the normal A2 (4.25 x 5.5). I made this card 8.5 x 5.5 so I can make the design larger. You can cut the witch in cauldron any size you would like to match your card size. That is the great thing about cutting these designs with your own cutter.



Now let's make the card!

Gather your supplies:

Purple cardstock base 8.5 x 11 inch
Black cardstock : 8.25x 5.25 and 4.25 x 5.25 inch
Purple pattern paper: 8.125 x 5.125 inch
Orange pattern paper: 4 x 5 inch
Scrap white cardstock for Sentiment
Black in Memento for Sentiment
Miss Kate's Witch in Cauldron cut from cutting machine finished size: 5.25 inch
(Scrap paper: two shades of green, two shades of orange, 2 shades grey, black, 3 shades of purple)
Rubber stamp with Halloween saying: Toil & Trouble from tailored expressions used now retired
Layered dies to cut saying: Sizzix Labels Fancy #4 the
Crafter's Companion Clear Sparkle Pen
Faux Enamel Dots: Made by Me
Foam Squares

Make your Witch in Cauldron from your Miss Kate Cuttables file. Use scrap papers to cut each layer and assemble with clear glue. Make the die cut fit the card you have decided to make. If making the size I did, assemble her to 5.25 inch total size. Add some sparkle pen to the bubbles and all parts of the insides of the cauldron. I do like sparkle so I added some to the bows on her shoes too!

Next, fold your 8.5 x 11 inch piece of purple cardstock in half for the card base and set aside.  Stamp your sentiment on white cardstock and cut with your favorite shape die. I used Sizzix Labels Fancy #4. Cut out a shadow layer, I used black with the same die set.

Cut your black mats, purple pattern paper and orange pattern paper to the sizes above. Adhere with tape or glue on the purple card base. Add the die cut and the sentiment with foam squares, add faux enamel dots and you are done!

Happy Crafting and Happy Halloween!!

Crafter's Companion has some beautiful stamps for water coloring. These stamps are from a set called, "Beautiful Bloom". As of August 21, 2017 it is only available for purchase through HSN. It is part of the new water color release. Check it out!

I water colored the two images with Aqua Markers by Crafter's Companion, mounted them on black paper then layered it on some glitter Luxury Cardstock also by Crafter's Companion.  I used a standup card base, also available on HSN.com, to mount my layers on. The sentiment is white heat embossed with the a stamp from the "Beautiful Bloom" set using the new heat gun from Crafter's Companion with one of the new embossing powders.

Another Sneak Peek of Crafter's Companion on HSN

This is a 3D embossing folder available for purchase on HSN Wednesday, August 16, 2017 in a pack of other beautiful 3D embossing folders. They are more then just your ordinary embossing folders, these are 3D! There are many depths of the images. Some are very defined and some are just raised slightly. Looks closely and you can see the detail in this watercolor image.

If you don't want to watercolor it, it looks great just embossed on metallic paper and highlighted with some gilding wax.

Don't forget to check out the "Watch Party" over on Facebook during the 12 hour broadcast.

Happy Shopping and Happy Crafting!!

Food Fun with Crafter's Companion

This quick little card was colored with my  Spectrum ColourBlend colored pencils and Gamsol blended. These wonderful pencils are from Crafter's Companion. The images were stamped on Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock colored with the highly pigmented pencils and blended smooth with the Gamsol solution for the smooth blended look. I added some Glossy Accents over some of the images for a shinny, wet look. I arranged them in the circles that I cut with a stitched die and added a strip of craft cardstock over the holes to make the images show up better. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment, added some faux enamel dots (to balance out the sentiment) and I'm done!

Happy Crafting!
