Halloween Z Fold Card



Hello everyone! I have a card to show you today that I did for fun. I love doing Z fold cards and this one was super fun to create.
I cut Frankie, the fence, the bats, and the witch from Happy Hauntings. I cut 10 layers of grass from the fence cut for the grass in front of the mansion. ( I know...I'm crazy! LOL!)  The mansion was cut from October 31st and I hid all the layers in my Gypsy to get the solid piece for the back. The sign I cut by hand and stamped it and the inside of the card with stamps from My Craft Spots Happy Hauntings set.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Recessed Window Halloween Card







Hello everyone! Isn't this card just TOO CUTE? I love how it turned out. I saw a card this weekend using this recessed window technique over at Glendas Cards and had to try it. I found the tutorial here at Splitcoast Stampers. Thanks to Glenda for leaving that info. I cut the web from Oct. 31st at 4 inches and put it in the corner of my card. I also cut the spider from Doodlecharms at 1.5 inches and the couldron from Happy Hauntings cut at 2.5 inches. I pop dotted the spiders head on the body and also on to the card. The couldron I cut twice, once in green that I used the hide contour feature on my Gypsy (I got my Gypsy!!!!) and once in black as the regular cut. The bat and ghost are stickers that were bought from Wal-Mart in the Halloween section and the BOO sentiment is a Peachy Keen stamp. I hope you all will give this technique a try! It's not hard and the end results are very rewarding! Have a great day!

Halloween Z Fold Card





Good evening everyone! Cricut Cardz Challenge blog's challenge this week is to make a Halloween Z fold card. I had a lot of fun creating this card.....there's lots of Cricut cuts on here. I cut the skeleton (4 inches) and the tree (4 inches) from Paper Doll Dress Up. The iron gate is cut at 3.5 inches from October 31st. And the grass/graveyard(3.5 inches) , the big grave(4 inches) and the bat (2 inches on real dial size) was cut from Happy Hauntings. I chose to hand write in the "Willy Rot" because it was to small to try and glue....thats why it's a little off center. I pop dotted the grass/graveyard and fence on the front of the card and I pop dotted the big grave also. The bat I pop dotted too, but I put double the thickness on the wings so they look like he's flying. The moon I cut from George at 2.5 inches and just squared it off to fit in the corner of the card. The sentiment is a Peachy Keen stamp. I hope you all are having a great day! Take care!
I'm also going to enter this in Getting Cricky's halloween challenge.

Harvest Card

My second post of the day! I made this card for Fantabulous Cricut's weekly challenge. The challenge is In My Garden Harvest Time. This pumkin vine is from the Oct. 31st cartridge. I cut it at 2 inches. Yes, 2 inches. The first time I cut it at 4 inches and it was HUGE! I thought this was the perfect image for this challenge. The sentiment is printed off my computer and the paper is Imaginisce Apple Cider. I did some chalking and white pen on the pumkin and vine. I cut the pumpkin vine twice and pop dotted the pumpkin. I also inked around the edges of the green and off white and addeda ribbon. Have a great day all!
I'm also entering this into the Paper Playtime's Challenge. This week it's Autumn.

Scary Pumpkin

Hi everyone! Todays card is for the BBTB2's challenge this week. The challenge is to use the Oct. 31st candle cut. This is what I came up with. The candle was cut at 2.5 inches and the pumpkin was cut at 3.5 inches. I trimmed off the stem and vine and put the candle in it's place. The white frame of the card I ripped the edges and then I also burned them and the paper to give it this look. All of the paper is from K & Company SpookTacular stack. The sentiment is a stamp from Peachy Keen. I am also going to enter this into Getting Cricky's Halloween Challenge that runs until Sept. 30th. Have a great night!

Ghost Treat Box


Hi all! I am heading out of town for the weekend, so I wanted to get this posted. I made this treat box for BBTB2 and Paper Cutz challenge's this week. The challenge at BBTB2 is the TBBM Crayon Box and halloween with NO orange or black at Paper Cutz. I cut the crayon box at 6 inches. The ghost and bag is from PDDU cut at 3.5 inches and the bag at 1.5 inches. The lantern is from October 31st cut at 3 inches. The ribbon kind of looks black but it's really purple. The sentiments are stamps from Peachy Keen's Halloween Mini's set. I plan on filling the treat box with one of my son's favorite candy......Pixie Stix. Have a great weekend!

Spooky Spider Card


Hi everyone. I'm finally able to create a little today. This card I did for 2 challenges: CARDZ TV and Getting Cricky. Both are Halloween challenges. I just found Getting Cricky and it looks like it has fun challenges. The prize for this Halloween challenge is a new Thanksgiving cart from Memory Miser(one of my favorite places to shop!) The challenge is open until Sept. 30th and you can enter as many times as you want. OK, on to the card! The spider is from Paper Doll Dress Up cut at 2.5 inches, the web is from October 31st cut at 5 inches, and the sentiment is from Happy Hauntings cut at 1 inch. I trimmed the card around the web on 2 sides to get this look....it had needed something and this worked perfect! I also added some google eyes to the spider and some jewels under the sentiment. I hope you all are having a great day! Take care!
