Trick or Treat Pages

I made the fence by punching a sheet of black cardstock with our Border Maker and Picket Fence Cartridge. Cut the border to 2.5″ wide, flip over and punch the second edge with the Picket Fence Cartridge also. Then trim off the pointed ends of one side of the border to make the fence as shown. Make the pumpkins by punching 3 circles of different patterned paper. Overlay the 3 circles, and using your scissors cut notches from the top and bottom and semi-circle shapes as shown. Select one shape from each paper and reassemble into a pumpkin shape and add pen stitching. The title, bats and journaling box are cut from some of the sheets of paper in the pack.

To make the ribbons on these pages, cut paper strips to 2 inches wide by 12 inches long. Working from one edge of a strip, make over-lapping folds to create the paper ribbon. The title and journaling box are cut from some of the sheets of paper in the pack.

Fall In…

This month, CM introduced a new fall-themed product line appropriately named Fall In. The line includes: Fall In Fast 2 Fabulous Album with pre-decorated pages, Slide-In Pack of decorated cards, Paper Pack, Leaf Embellishments, Title Stickers and ABC Letter Stickers. I used the Paper Pack, Leaf Embellishments and Title Stickers to make the pages below.

I used the old CM Paper Edger to rough up the edges of the wood patterned paper and our old Chalking Inks to enhance the embossing on the leaf die cuts. I also used the Border Maker with the new Film Strip Cartridge to make a photo mat.

Again I used the Chalking Inks to embellish the leaf die cuts and adhered the leaves with Foam Square Adhesives. I also used the Border Maker with the Film Strip Cartridge.

Our CM Red, White and Blue Paper Pack has been moved to “While Supplies Last” status. You don’t want to miss out on this pack. I love all of the fresh patterns – especially the three different colors of gingham!
