A Halloween Card, Artfully Sent

I knew I was going to love the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge by Close to My Heart. When you purchase the cartridge, it comes in a set with stamps and cardstock. I have all of the three previous CTMH cartridges, but Artfully Sent is my favorite now, since the cartridge focuses on making all different types of cards.

Today, I want to show you how I made the Haunted House card. I have the photo of the handbook below. Notice that the actual card base for the Haunted House is a swing card. Where the opening of the card swings out to the left.



I decided that I didn't want the card to swing. I cut the card as directed (black card below), but I wanted to be able to do some layering. In my Cricut Design Space, I resized the black card to on a regular size A4 card with room for layers. The first layer on the card is green, and then the black from the swing card. 


For the inside layer of the card, I used a bright orange, circle glitter patterned cardstock. The cartridge file did all of the work for me. The moon and bats were cut as the liner of the card. Next, I folded the "swing" or the house over the card and adhered it with a LOT of pop dots. 



And, then, I attached this creepy, sparkly crow brad just to add to the feeling of a spooky night at a Haunted House. The entire inside of the card is white for a sentiment of writing. 




I'm looking forward to seeing how other people interpret this card.
