I made a couple of Halloween cards. The first one is a very simple card. I scraplifted the idea for this card off of the internet. Mine isn't exactly like the one I saw but very close. This is a very easy card so it was great for multiples to send to all my family members. I cut out the Headless Horseman image from my new Cricut cartridge "Happy Hauntings" I love it! This is a really cool cartridge. The card is made with black cs and then I took a piece of Martha Stewart crackled paper which I got from one of her Halloween paper stacks. I cut it to fit just inside the front of my card and then used my Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper to cut the corners out. I then just glued the Headless Horseman image on top and added a red jewel for the horses' eye.
The second card could use a little more work but the concept is good. I decided it was too much work to make multiples of. I wanted to try it on an orange cs, with some black Glimmer Mist.... I just ran out of that precious thing called time. haha.
I cut out the gate and the black ivy from my Cricut cartridge called "October 31st". I then used a stamp for the skull which I stamped and embossed with white embossing powerder. I even gave him a gold tooth. hee hee.
When I glued the gate onto the cs, I only glued the sides so it would move and give it a cool 3D effect. I used black stickles on the black ivy and also on the inside of the skeleton eyes. I cut the bats out with a paper punch and used Diamond Glaze on them. I attached them to the card with pop dots.
Well I hope that gives you a couple of ideas for making some cards for this Halloween. Have fun trick-or-treating!!!
