More Halloween Cards




These cards are really simple to make.  I used CTMH black card stock and embossing folders, not sure exactly where I got them.  The eyes, lettering and spider were cut from the Cricut Artiste Cartridge by CTMH.  No stamping involved in these 2 cards.  The spider does have sparkles for his eyes.  Very quick and mailable. 

Ghostly Gathering Card for Haloween

I was cutting rectangles and noticed the negative space was a window frame. My creative mind went to work. This is what I came up with. I love this stamp set. I played around with colors before I settled on Smokey Plumb, Indian Corn Blue, Honey and of course black. I put a piece of our black Tulle on the back of the window frame with liquid glass (loots like a screen) then used a very thin strip of 3 D foam tape to out line the window. Don't forget a small piece directly in the center of the window. Then I just used a thin strip of the Moonlight paper and the boarder strip that says Ghostly Gathering and 1 sparkly piece of Haunted Assortment. It was time consuming until I got it like I wanted now I could probably whip out one in 15 min. Hope you like it. I am going to do a fall and Christmas one too.

I have been really too busy to blog apparently.  I couldn't even find the dumb thing.  Hopefully I'll be back up and running soon.

Starting my Christmas Cards

Here is my take on making Poinsettias- I used 5 layers. The largest is 3 and the red is 2.75 , 2.5, 2.25 and the baby is like 1.25.

  This is a folded tree card.
