Halloween Oct. 31

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This is another simple Halloween card. Card is cut using the Cricut Simple Holiday Cards cartridge. Happy Halloween 31 Card is cut from green cardstock at 5.50" wide. Liner is cut from black cardstock. When you are trying to meet a deadline, these simple cards are quick and easy to do. It does require time to glue the liner on the card.

Inside the card, I added another bat image. Using Cricut Potion and Spells cartridge, the Bat Label is cut 4.50" wide 3" high. With the Add Text feature, I cut out the letters for BOO from the Happy Hauntings Spooky cartridge.

Simple Halloween Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

The Cricut has been busy again! Needing some quick and simple cards, I found these cards on the Cricut Simple Holiday Cards cartridge. The machine does an excellent cutting job on this type of card. Cut and glue in a liner and the card is almost ready for giving. Adding the glue to the cards takes the most time!

Cricut Cartridges:
Simple Holiday Cards: Trick or Treat and Haunted House card are cut 8.50" wide. Halloween spider/web is cut 5.50" wide. When folded the cards will measure 4.25" x 5.50" - perfect size for mailing.
Cricut Creepy Critters - Happy Halloween with the cat and jack o'lantern is cut 3.75" wide and used inside each card.

Batty for Candy

 Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am playing along with a few challenges. Card and images are cut using my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space. Stripe patterned paper is K&Company Tim Coffey Halloween and Fall 12 x 12 paper pad. I purchased this paper pad several years ago. Solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cartridges:
Creative Holiday Cards - Scallop Candy Corn Bat card is cut 5.50" wide. Candy corn bat is part of the card's image. Wonder where he found that purple candy corn!
Note: The scallop envelope image is shown with the bat card in the image view, but it does not load with the images to cut in Design Space. After locating the envelope image on the cartridge, I cut it at 9.84" wide x 6.83" high. This size works well for the card.
Create a Critter 2 - Happy Halloween is cut 3" wide.
Teresa Collins Chic and Scary - Spiderweb is cut 1.50" wide.
Bat is cut 2.50" wide -this is used inside the card.

Treat or Treat - Candy image is cut 4.50" wide.
A Frightful Affair - Using the add text feature, I cut Batty For at 1.77" wide, 1.64" high.

 Card with Envelope

Holiday Cakes - Bat used on the envelope is cut 2.50" wide. I used the bat image for the envelope closure by adding two pop dots.

I added a little doodling with the Gelly Roll pen on the bats and the words. I did not add doodling on the envelope bat. I may do that before the card is handed out. Or Maybe Not!!
