Today I am sharing two cards with you, one fall and one halloween. Tomorrow I will be sharing cute mini Halloween bags!
I was recently in a Fall Swap on the Cricut Message Boards and I made my partner these two cards. First up is a Thanksgiving card, although it could totally be a thank you card sent in the fall too! This is the phrase button of < NatvBear >. I cut it at 4 inches and used brown cardstock as the base. The acorns are from the < Squirrel > accessory button.
Everything is inked over in brown to give it that fall feel. (I apologize for the pics, I used my daughter's camera and do not like it as much as mine!)
The second card is a Halloween card, also using the phrase feature, this time from the < WitchOwl >. The spider web is from the < Pumpkin > accessory key. I flipped it so it goes the right direction for my card.
I started out with the entire phrase but as I was assembling, I wasn't sure if I liked the bold orange of the "happy" so I left it off. Here it is though, as it would be an easy addition right above "Halloween".
Both of these cards are entirely from the Create a Critter 2 cart but use no animals! I love doing projects entirely from one cartridge. Maybe I'm just not good at mixing and matching! :)
Now that you've made it through the post, how about some blog candy?? Yeah! I will choose one winner to receive a Halloween mini stamp set, some jewels and a $10 Michael's or JoAnn's gift card - you pick! To be entered to win, leave a comment below and be sure to include your email address or Cricut MB name so I have a way to contact you!

Hi Michele - I really like both cards but the Give Thanks one is beautiful. It would be nice just sitting out as home decor during Thanksgiving time! MB Name ScrapHappyDeb
ReplyDeleteThey are both cute cards and I couldn't tell you which is my favorite - I like them both equally. I do like that little spider on the Halloween card though. You did a great job ob these. Thanks for sharing.

I love both cards Michele! I do believe I need to check out the phrases on CAC2, because these are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the compliment. I think you've made my day :)
I love both cards! The autumn one with the brown inking is so perfect and fall-like-- I can almost smell apple cider and burning leaves. Your Halloween card is sweet with that chubby spider and gingham stripe.
ReplyDeleteyOUr fall card is great. love the lil acorns and wood branch border
ReplyDeleteLove your cards. The Thanksgiving one is very different. I never would have thought of if. TFS
ReplyDeleteI love your cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Michele! I tend to stick with one cartridge at a time too; I think the choices can tend to overwhelm me and then before you know it one card or page has taken several hours...lol.

They are both great cards! I like the Halloween one as it is too. Actually, I thought it said Harry and was wondering what it meant!
ReplyDeleteThe Thanksgiving one looks like it could be a place card or home decor item.

Very cute! Especially loved the purple on the Halloween card and the branches that you used for the border on the Thanksgiving card.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of these cards, yet they are so fun looking. I am not one to change cartridges either, I would just make due with what else is on it, lol.

I like to use the phrases too. It makes creating a card much easier.
ReplyDeleteseaswancreations@gmail.com
Love both of these LOVELY cards -- creating beautiful home decor ( boootiful in the case of the Halloween one!).
ReplyDeleteI love using one cart too -- it goes so much quicker!!! Really like your treatment and clever use of the cuts!

I love your cards. They are really cute. I love how you thought outside the box & used Creat a Critter without cutting any critters. Good job!

What a great idea to keep the cards simple and clean.
