Trick or Treat "Joy" Fold Card






I used the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge for this card. I cut the "Costumes" on page 49 at 2 3/4". I also cut the cat from the same page at 2 3/4". I used my white gel pen and traced the lines that were cut in the image.

For the front of the card I cut the bag at 6" from page 52 and I dabbed some black ink around the edges and I also used a black gel pen and traced the trick or treat.

On all of the orange spider pages I used white colorbox pigment ink around all the edges and then wiped it off with a paper towel for a little extra effect. On the background where the "children" are I used black inkl on that peice because of the orange boarder around it.

I also cut 4 spiders out with a Martha Stewart spider punch and attatched in several places throughout the card.

I have to say that I definately had the most fun making this Halloween card :)

Have a Boo-tiful Day Card



I created this card using the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge. I cut the ghost from page 37 at 4". I also used my new Martha Stewart spider web border punch and some ribbon from Michaels. The cardstock I used is from Recollections.

Beware Card





I created this card using the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge. I cut the tree out at 4 1/4" from page 67. I cut out the tombstone at 1 1/2" on "FLIP" from page 66, and I cut out the Frank N Stein on my computer using the font Matisse ITC at 8 pts. The BEWARE phrase is cut at 1".

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 40



This weeks challenge was to make a card using scalloped circles, scalloped squares, scalloped ovals, or scalloped rectangles. Use any cartridge, colors, or theme you would like.

I chose the scalloped circles. I used my Mini Monograms cartridge for the circles that I cut at 3 1/2" and 3 1/4". I used Doodlecharms for the ladybug which I cut at 2 1/4". I used the Create a Critter for the "LoveBug" which is cut at 1 3/4". I also used the Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder, and I added 3 buttons with thread for the final touch.

This is my first challenge card that I've done and it was a blast getting it all put together! I hope that you will give one of the challenges a try! Check out the challenge blog and the amazing people on the design team at Cricut Cardz Challenge, click here

Thinking of You



Here is a card that I made using the Once Upon A Princess cartridge to cut out the butterfly at 3". I also used the matt stack Hippie Chick by DCWV. I was a little nervous with the color choices but I think it turned out really well and I've had the most comments on this card on my YouTube channel: ScrappinJen31
