Black Cat Paperscape Box Card by Dreaming Tree (3D Svgs)

Today, in very little time, I made this super spooky paperscape box card by Dreaming Tree. This was really fun to put together. I did make a couple of changes to fit my desire to showcase some nice 2 sided paper I have by making memories. I used the 2 sided paper as both base and panels. In other words, I didn't cut out the panel pieces. I did cut the fence out though, because I wanted the contrast. This is going to look great on the mantel all lit up tonight! I'll be putting the other two together either later tonight or tomorrow!

Cinderella

Back in the spring, when Cinderella first came out, I took my grandsons and a friend to see it. I fell in love with that version of the movie. I had planned to make the pumpkin coach by SVG Cuts, but never got around to it. This week, I rented it at Redbox and watchd it with my granddaughter. (She's 2 1/2). After we watched it a few times, I knew for sure I wanted to make the coach. So I picked out my papers and got to cutting.

I have a pad of DCWV Once Upon a Time that I have been hoarding. It was perfect for this! I have since added a crown jewel sticker to the top that isn't shown here. I hadn't bought them yet.

This was remarkably easy to assemble. But the finised project is so elegant and delightful! I think I will be making a few more in different color schemes.

If you want to try your hand at this project, just check out SVG Cuts, it's the Enchanted Autumn.

A Free SVG File You Don't Want to Miss!

Happy Friday!

I'm finally back in my craftroom with a free SVG file to share. If you haven't seen the new Dreaming Tree website, then I highly encourage you to check it out. Right now they have the cutest coffin SVG to download for FREE! Yes! FREE! (update there is also a free Santa Paperscape Box card and Stingy Jack Lantern for a limited time)

Free Dreaming Tree SVG File Spooky Coffin

Did I mention Free?

I was able to make this coffin with one sheet of 12x12 cardstock and some scraps. The base and lid were made from a Making Memories Toil & Trouble collection from 2010 that I have been hoarding. It's a lovely 2 sided cardstock I bought from an online craft company that has since gone out of business. The purple is scrap from some Halloween projects I made last year, and I always have black and yellow scraps! I did a little inking around the edges. This little guy is 3 1/2 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the biggest section. It will be fun to fill for the grandkids!

If you are new to the world of 3D paper creating and don't know where to go for fun files that don't break the bank, then this is one site that can fill the bill. Your friends and family will squeal with delight when they see what you can do with paper!

So head on over and check them out! Just click here!
