Halloween Card #2 2015

Today I am posting the second card that I made for Halloween. I really like the way this one turned out. It actually turned out better than I had imagined. I am still learning to take better pictures of my cards. It is a work in progress.

This is another A2 card. The spooky tree is an SVG file from Miss Kate Cuttables. It is hard to tell from this pictures, but the tree has dimension. I was able to pop up a few pieces to give it this look. The fence and headstone were files included in my Cricut Design Space subscribtion.

I hope you like the card.

Happy Halloween

Supplies:
Simon Says Stamp cardstock (card base)
DCWV The Spookytime Matstack - spiderweb background mat
Michael's Recollections - various colors

Life and Halloween....again?

Has it really been almost a year since I posted anything? That goes to show how busy things can get sometimes. I felt as if it had only been a few months. 

I am in the process of making a few Halloween cards. Here is the first one I completed. 

This is a regular A2 portrait card, meaning that the base of the card is 5.5 inches by 4.25 inches. The castle and bats are images from my Cricut subscription. I wanted to make it a shaker card. I cut out a circle on the mat to make the moon. I then added some bat shakers pieces that move behind the large bat. 

Supplies:

Recollections cardstock - orange and black

DCWV - The Spookytime Matstack

Recollections - Halloween sequin shapes

Halloween Box Cards

This year I tried something a little different for Halloween cards. I made three box cards for my sister. I wanted to make a scene out of the three I made.I am also trying to learn to use my mini photo studio correctly. I think they came out pretty well. It was a learning experience to be sure. My favorite is the one with the moon on it.

Masculine cards

Masculine cards.....

I always dread when I have to make a masculine birthday card. So I was glad to have found something that would work.

This card was made for my brother-in-law. He is in the Navy, so I thought this would be fitting.

I used the trapezoid card base from SVG Cutting Files as well as Sailor Squaredy Cat and cut them on my Cricut Explore. The banner was also cut on the Explore. I added the sequins to give it a finished look.

I love how it came out.

Thanks for stopping by.

My first post and a shaker card

I have been creating cards and party decorations for over two years now. And even though I am still learning, I was convinced by my sister and friends to start a blog and show the items I have created.  

I decided to try my hand at making a shaker card. After watching a few tutorials and then having to scrap the first attempt (must remember to take the Post-it tape off the stamp), I must say I am fairly pleased with the way it turned out. 

This card is for my mother in law. Her birthday just happens to be the day before mine. 

• I made a top folding A2 card and cut a 3" circle out of the center. 
• The green ring was cut on my Cricut Explore by welding two circles together, one at 2.95" and 3.25". 
• The clear window was also cut on my Explore at  3.4".
