Easy Candy Box Sleeve

These are a last minute Halloween treat for my girls to give their friends at school.  (because I am sure they won't get any candy this weekend- sorry moms)  I used rock princess for the skull cut.

MPS, Pink, Purple, Green, and 30 min Callenge

I was able to make this card with scrap paper.  The butterfly cut is from Create a Critter, I love the way that cartridge layers.  I made this birthday card in 20 minutes, and that included gluing the card face to the envelope front.  I was able to pry it off and put in on the card front. :)

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #4, Boo!

This was a fun challenge requesting a Halloween project that used at least 2 cuts and a transparent element.  I used Sweet Treats to cut my favor box and Mini Monsters for the sweet little pumpkin.  I cut vellum for the pumpkin leaf.  The handle is made from the plastic net that you buy oranges in at the grocery store. 

Sport Theme Throw Back Thursday Challenge

This card was made for Emma's Throw Back Thursday Challenge using the Sports Mania cartridge.   I have Emma's cute blinkie on my sidebar if you would like to check her blog out.  I must admit this card is not my favorite... sometimes you make something and it doesn't turn out so great.  So, on to the next creation!  It is only paper.

Halloween Exploding Box

This cute Halloween decoration was inspired by Kathy's Exploding House at http://paperphenomenon.blogspot.com/ and Lisa's Barn Project at http://bugjunkie.blogspot.com/.  My twist was to add a different roof to my exploding box.  I was admiring my daughter's 3-D haunted house from the Happy Hauntings cartridge and thought the tower piece would make a great roof for my house.  I cut the tower at 14 inches and that seemed to fit a 4 inch square box lid nicely.  If you peek inside the roof window, a skull and kitty are making their spooky presence. I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the jack-o-lantern by the front door and her spider web edge punch for the roof.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge # 3

Here is my entry for the second weekly challenge. The challenge was to use 2 cuts, texture, and the following colors: orange, tan, gray, and burgundy.  I thought it would be fun to make a wrap for a wine bottle with a turkey on it for thanksgiving.  The turkey and shadow were cut at 4 inches.  Mr. Turkey's hat came from Designer's Calendar as did the turkey.  The hang tag on the bottle and circle scallops on the wrapper are from Gypsy Wanderings.

3-D Happy Hauntings House with Baby Bug

This project was ALL cut by my 8 year old daughter on a baby bug!  She cut a 5.5 inches and I think it turned out wonderful.  The paper was cheap but I think it adds to the character of the old house.  If you would like to make one, I recommend using Scotch Quick Dry Glue.
