Card Class Was a Spooky Time!

The card class met this last Sunday (October 21st) and we had a really fun time making these cute Halloween cards.

 Here we played around with the idea of stamping and embossing an image, and then cutting it into 3 equal pieces, highlighting each with a contrasting color. It sort of looks like you're looking out your window on a spooky Halloween night, doesn't it? The new Cricut cartridge has some fabulous phrases ready to cut, including this one, which added a nice touch.

For this one, we embossed the cobweb in the corner, added 3 rows of scalloped edging along the bottom, with a little bit of silver sparkle to highlight the black on black look. This makes the goofy skeleton and headstone really pop off the page.

Here's my take on a card originally created by CTMH Consultant Stacy Burch. Thank you Stacy for the wonderful idea! We used the same leaf stamp in a variety of colors and second generation stamping to create the background. We then used some 3D foam tape to pop 3 off the leaves off the card, along with the acorns. This card would work well for almost any occasion that falls during the fall season - birthdays, weddings, etc. Just swap out the sentiment stamp for the one of your choice.
