2014 Halloween Card 5

Here is the last of the Halloween cards for this year.  This card is 4 x 5.5.

For the card, I used:

• Wild Card Cricut Cartridge
• Artbooking Cricut Cartridge
• Martha Stewart Halloween Stamp set
• Stampendous Enchanted Aubergine Embossing Powder
• Distressed Inks - Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey and Bundled Sage
• Versamark

To make the card, I cut a circle for the moon from orange card stock.  I then cut several bats of varying sizes from the Wild Card cartridge.  The house was cut from the Artbooking cartridge at 3.75 inches. 

I then sponged the Bundled Sage ink on the bottom of the card front.  A combination of Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey was sponged above the Bundled Sage.  The fence and sentiment were them stamped with Versamark, embossing powder added, and heat embossed.  The moon and bats were added.  The house was attached with pop dots to add dimension to the card.

2014 Halloween Card 3

Here is the third cad for the year.  This one is 4 x 5.5. 

For the card, I used:

• Paper Trimmings Cricut
• Stampendous Detailed Black Embossing Powder
• Stampendous Detailed White Embossing Powder
• WOW Glow in the Dark Embossing Powder
• Hampton Arts Halloween Stamp set
• Recollections Halloween Stamp set
• Martha Stewart Halloween Stamp Set
• Versamark

To make the card, I cot the spider web and background from the Paper Trimmings Cricut Cartridge.  I adhered both together, and then attached them to the card front.  Although its not visible in the picture, I then used a Versamark pen, covered the spider in ink, and added the Glow in the Dark Embossing powered and heat embossed it.  I added the eyes with the Versamark pen, and then added Detailed White embossing powered and heat embossed.  The small webs in the corners were stamped with Versamark, then Detailed Black embossing powered was added and heat embossed. 

Inside of the card:

The spider webs on the inside of the card are from the Martha Stewart Halloween stamp set, and the sentiment is from a Recollections Halloween stamp set.

2014 Halloween Card 2

Here is the second of the Halloween cards I made.  This one is similar to ones I have made in the past. 

For the card, I used:

• Paper Trimmings Cricut Cartridge
• Wild Card Cricut Cartridge
• WOW Copper Pearl Embossing Power
• Versamark
• Recollections Halloween Stamp Set  

To make the card, I cut the witch and moon from the Paper Trimmings Cricut cartridge at 3.5 inches. The bat is from the Wild Card cartridge and a left over from a previous project.  I adhered the witch and bat to the moon, then to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment on black paper with Versmark, then added the Copper Perl Embossing Powder and heat embossed.  I cut the black paper in a banner shape to 1.5 by 3.75 inches and attached it to the card front.

2014 Halloween Card 1

Its that time of year again!  Every year I make Halloween cards for the grand kids.  Here is the first of the cards made this year.

This card is 4 x 5.5, and one of the simpler cards to make. For the card, I used:

• Paper Trimmings Cricut cartridge
• Hampton Art Halloween Stamp set
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

To make the card, I cut the image (and the background for the image) from the Paper Trimmings Cricut Cartridge at 4.5 inches. 

I adhered the image to the background for the image, and then to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from a Hampton Art stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Pinterest Inspired

I saw a similar card on Pinterest, and thought I could make that.  I had butterfly punches, and the same Cuttlebug Embossing folder.  Here is my version, and I am not sure I like this one, and my need to re-make it. 

The card is 4 x 5.5.  I embossed the background with D'vine Swirl cuttlebug folder, then used a Martha Stewart punch all over the page butterfly punch.  These were then backed with another color paper.  The smaller butterflies were cut from the Paper Trimming Cricut Cartridge.    The background was lightly inked.
