Ghosts a Soaring















 This card was made using a border die ( courtesy of my friend Heather) on bottom of card that folds down...   I used the ghost on the lower right side to help hold that tab in place........

Note on inside of card below that tab on bottom of card.....   the third photo shows it better.  This is a quick way to add interest and dimension to a card and then just add a few simple elements along with Designer paper to the actual front of the card.  I recommend using a very heavy weight cardstock for the base...   otherwise the die cut border tends to flop down...   that's why I added the right hand lower ghost to hold it in place.   It could have used something on the left hand side as well.    Fun card and very quick and easy!   The ghosts are from Cricut Happy Haunting cartridge....

Beary Batty Halloween Card

 
Another cricut card...   This card is a combination of  3 different cartridges to create the bear and the bat wings behind the bear....   He is ready to give you a big bear hug!    I added 3 pumpkin brads.  

The greeting was generated on the computer and the bats were cut from Stampin Up punch....    I used stiches around bear and on inside of card for additional dimension....   

Haunted House card

 
Another Cricut card using the Haunted House Cartridge.  This card went together very fast.  I used the Bat punch from Stampin Up....   The paper is Retired Stampin Up as well.     The greeting was printed on the computer.  The house is mounted on foam tape for additional dimension....    I may add the word Spooky or Haunted to the front of the card next time I make it!


Note:  The envelopes are lined to match card.  I like to finish envelopes off with matching designer series paper if I have enough left over.  

Halloween Monster Wobble



  
This card was made using the Cricut Mini Monsters Cartridge.  I used Cuttlebug embossing folders for additional texture on top 2 layers of monster and then mounted him on an Action Wobble.  I created the text on the computer for the greeting...     The drip punch is from Martha Stewart.....   I love colors:   purple, lime green, and orange together!    The black grounds all the colors....
