Haunted House Skeleton Card
For this Halloween card I used a pumpkin orange card stock for the main card. I cut the hunted house using the Cricut and the Pumpkin Carving cartridge out of black vinyl. I hand cut the grave yard below out of the same black vinyl. The poke-a-dot stripe at the bottom is Japanese Washi Tape. Finally, I attached a plastic skeleton, with glue, that I picked up at a party supply store. Happy Halloween!
Working with the Cuttlebug Embossing folders and Scupley is such an easy combination. You don’t have to run the Sculpey through the Cuttlebug machine you just press it into the folder by hand – it make a clean impression and is easy to clean up.

I was so inspired after making a tee-shirt yarn wreath that I thought why not make one for Halloween?
Here’s how: I bought a wreath from at the dollar store. The first step is to cover it with black masking tape, Next wrap black cheese cloth around it, pulling at the strings, allowing them to hang off for a spooky effect. Next I made three tee-shirt yarn flowers using black tee-shirt yarn. I attached those flowers to a backing of grey felt and glued them down to the wreath. I topped the flowers by putting copper and black hot rocks on them. For the final step I took three colors of tee-shirt yarn, braided them together and made the top hanging piece for the wreath.

I made a pumpkin ring out of orange tee-shirt yarn. A super simple little nugget that I will be wearing all month long. Maybe the reason I love Halloween and Fall so much is because orange is my favorite color and at this time of year I get to use it so freely.

This spider is hanging out on the glass of my front door. To make her I used my Cricut and the October 31st cartridge and cut her out of black card stock. To create the web I drew a drawing of a web on a piece of paper and then I cover the piece of paper with a transparent teflon sheet. I used the drawing underneath as my guide and “traced” over top of it with hot glue. I allowed the glue to dry completely on the teflon. Once dry I peeled it off and stuck it to the glass on the window. The sticky plastic quality of the hot glue attaches perfectly to glass and pulls of when you are ready to take it down.
I kind of want these in every window in my house but I think the tall one in the house might have a different idea.
