Dies R Us #155 ~ Boo!

 Hello crafting friends, it's the beginning of the month so that means a new challenge begins today at Dies R Us.


Challenge # 155 ~ Boo!




Isn't this Spooky Shoe from Tutti Designs an awesome Halloween die? The possibilities are endless.  I used this die in a very easy way, by cutting one out of black cardstock and the other out of purple glitter cardstock.  Using press 'n seal, I was able to pick up all the pieces from both cuts and then paper piece it into the other. Easy as pie!
I did cut out an extra buckle in gold and one in silver to give each shoe a little something special, as well as an extra spider to add it to the web which is actually printed on the background paper. I also cut out a couple of ghosties out of vellum to give them that eerie appearance. On the second shoe, the vellum was not as noticeable so I cut them out of white cardstock.  I used the background papers to decorate the inside of the cards as well. On the first card, the background paper was perfect as it already had the foiled sentiment. On the second card, I used a die from Marianne Designs for the message webbed circle.

Marianne Design dies and other international dies only go on sale at Dies R Us during special order events. The best way to know about these events is to subscribe to the Dies R Us newsletter.

That was it, both cards done with minimal fuss and time. Always a bonus when you have a lot of cards to make :-)

Now for the short list of supplies I used to make these cards, each linked to the Dies R Us store for your convenience:

Thank you so much for stopping by today and sharing a little bit of your day with me.  I hope I was able to inspire you to create a project, and  play along with us at the Dies R Us Challenges for your chance to win a gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store.  A new challenge begins on the 1st and 15th of each month. Visit our challenge blog, where my team mates showcase their creations to give you a little more inspiration.  Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Pinterest too.

Before I go, I'd like to remind you that Dies R Us' sister store,  Didi Crafts, is now open. It has warehouses located in the USA and Canada.  It has some products that are the same as Dies R Us, but in addition, it carries international dies,  and other crafty supplies for a variety of crafts.  Go take a peek and be pleasantly surprised!
