Another Little Trick or Treat Bear!

I had fun the other night making little Trick or Treat bears. This one was inspired by the challenge at PaperCutz this week, which was to use a skeleton. I used the sketch from RAQ's challenge on the Cricut boards....and everything on here is from my leftover Halloween box. I seem to buy LOTS of Halloween scrappy stuff....and how much can you actually use? So that is my goal.....to use up some of it!

Boo to You!

I saw the cutest little clip art images of Halloween bears, and they so inspired me to try to reproduce them with my Cricut......not hard at all with George and Paper Doll Dress Up! I used George circles and ovals to construct my bear, clothes from Paper Doll's cut at 4 inches, and added some Cuttlebug embossing (Swiss Dots....sooooo my favorite!) to dress up my little witch. Finished it off with detailing pen, chalk, ink, and a little floss bow. Paper is from last year Martha Stewart Stack....I cut around the moon so it would work. Added Martha Stewart Checkerboard borders and little Spider Web corners. Sentiment and ribbon were bought at Hobby Lobby last year.

Be on the lookout for more little Halloween bears....coming soon!

Witchy-Poo

Happy Monday everyone~ that means a new challenge at Fantbulous Cricut and this week they are Off the Wall. Hop over and look at what wonderful creations the design team has created!

I spent yesterday working on another Halloween card....I love them~~ This little witch was made with a scraplift from Bethapalooza . I loved the curling ribbon for the hair. I made mine from George and Paper Doll Dress Up. I love cute Halloween cards!

Franken-Fun

Couldn't put it off any longer....I just HAD to make another Halloween card. I love 'em.....they are just right up my alley....cute and silly and fun! Frankie is a freebie from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs (great site!) I cut all the parts by hand...inked...pop dotted...and doodled. Attached him with pop dots to DCWV paper (silver flocked polka dots....must find more of that) DCWV orange card stock, embossed and inked with silver. Little strip of some glittery circles and a little bit of the drippy goo punch. Sentiment is a stamp from Big Lots for $.50 and added some big polka dotted ribbon.

Some Scary Spiders!

Well, not too scary....mostly cute!~ The challenge at Jitterbuggin' this week is to use scraps (YES!).....follow the sketch (which is a patchwork one)....and add a Cricut "bee"......or "b". My "b" is from Pooh Font in the word Boo! The paper is Imaginesce....ribbon is Martha Stewart (20 cents at Big Lots!).....and the spiders and webs are from Paper Doll Dress Up. Lots of dimension in this one...hard to get the full impact in a picture. I know it's early for Halloween, but I just couldn't wait!

Trick or Treat!

My last Halloween card (I think?)   I used PDDU for most of it.   The little witch is cut at 3"....then I  cut and pasted to get the side view.   Used Witch's hair, Witch's shoes, Witch's hat (star punch), Wizard's dress (backed in green to show the stars), and the Wizard's cape (cut at 2 1/2" instead of 3)   Face is hand drawn....chalked and inked a lot (green fingernails.......)    The broom is cut at 5 1/2"   Used my MS circle maker to cut a 3 3/4" circle....inked it....embossed with swirls in the cuttlebug.   Added some PPDU bats and rub-on sentiment.  Trimmed it out with orange ribbon and a button.  Here's a close up:

From Your Mummy

I saw this cute little clip art mummy while browsing at the computer.....thought he would be easy to reproduce with the cricut.  3" George circle for the face....1" circles for the cheeks.   Nose is one of the snowballs from Doodlecharms, cut at 1".  I cut thin strips of white paper with some deco edge scissors, inked the edges, and cut strips to put on the mummy.  Then I took a cotton swab with ink and went over the edges again after they were glued for a little more impact.  Eyes are a sharpie; sentiment and spiders are little clear stickers from the Dollar Tree.   And of course, the inside says, "From Your Mummy!"

Halloween Monster - Bitten by the Bug Challenge

The Challenge at Bitten by the Bug is to use the monster on PDDU.   I've always loved this cut, so I was very excited to start this one. 

Monster is cut at 3" once in orange and once in polka dots....layered together with pop dots.  Used white/purple circles for the eyes, purple circle for the nose, and (Are you ready for this????!!).....the magician's hair cut at 4" for his little hands.   I loved this cut because it gave him claws.    The bag is from PDDU, cut at 3"....doodled with a white gel pen.   I used black sharpie, white and purple gel pens, and some brown ink to finish my little hairy guy. 

The candy corn is Doodlecharms, cut at 2 1/2" and 3".   Paper on the card is Daisy D's....sentiment is handstamped (stamp from Target's $1 bin) and colored, attached with pop dots.  Added some tourquoise ribbon to the top and bottom.  The sketch for this card is from Pagemaps.

Spooky Fun!

Over on the Cricut message board, there is a weekly thread called RAQ's card challenge.  There are three sketches....just for fun and feedback.   Lots of nice people over there, and I try to do at least one sketch.  Here is my card for sketch #1:

Used the ghost from PDDU, cut at 2 1/2", 2", and 1 1/2".  Used Sharpie and silver ink from details; glued some flat and some with pop dots.  Used nesties for the sentiment frame.   Paper is Daisy D's and the spider webs are black translucent stickers from the Dollar Tree.   Sentiment is vellum.  Doodled with my white pen (I think that is my favorite scrap tool right now....)

Witchy Poo

Made this little gal to go on a Halloween layout (will be on Scrap 4 the Memories later this morning when I get it finished.   I am happy with the way this little "witchy poo" turned out.   Used 4" cut on blackout.  Used one ear for the nose.   Used witch's hair (trimmed to fit the side view), witch shoes, and bride of frankenstein dress.  You just have to cut off one arm and leg and rearrange to get the side view. Added some great purple fibers to the hat (which is Pooh and Friends, cut shadow, regular, and plaid layers at 2").  Used lots of glittery gel pens, white markers, and purple ink to finish her.  Cut the little pot twice, once in purple to get the potion layer.  Silver metallic ink, purple raindrops, and little shinestones finished it.  Spell book used purple ink and silver metallic pen. Spider buttons are Favorite Findings.

Halloween Inchies

One of the sketches this week on Okie's Challenge on the Cricut messageboard had this cute little sketch that used inchies.   I've never tried inchies and couldn't resist.  Paper, pumpkin, sentiment, and ribbon are from Target.  Ghost and spider are from PDDU.  Cute, easy card to put together.
