13 Nights of Halloween #4


     Today is day #4 of my 13 Nights of Halloween and I have a new project for you. This cut comes from Cricut cartridge Mini Monsters. I love the style of old street lamps and just fell in love with this one. Plus it's Halloween which gives it another plus!

  • Cricut cart: Mini Monsters
  • Paper: Unknown
  • Cardstock: Bazzill

13 Nights of Halloween #3

Welcome and here is day 3 project of my 13 Nights of Halloween event. Today I have another card for you all. This one is pretty easy as it only required one Cricut cartridge, Happy Hauntings.

Hello Kitty Witch card

     Here is a rather cutie of a card. With it being the Halloween season and a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut of using Black and Purple in your project, I decided to create this little card.

  • Cricut cart: Hello Kitty Greetings
  • Paper: Bazzill
  • Stickles: Purple, Yellow
  • Adhesive: Scotch, Zig
Please enjoy this card and thank you so much for looking at it. Also remember that tomorrow marks the start of my 13 Nights of Halloween event where everyday I will have a new project to share with you related to Halloween. So please come and visit. Thanks.
