BOO to YOU!

 My sister requested a few Halloween cards.  The first one was pretty simple. Blocks cut from various patterned paper, a stamped spider and a haunted castle cut from flocked paper.  I punched the moon from flocked paper as well.  The teeny tiny bats were cut with my cricut on flocked paper they are about an inch long and DID NOT RIP!  I love that paper!!
All cut elements are on flocked paper. A sand colored background lightly embossed.  All pieces cut with my cricut.
Embossed with a polka dot folder on Pumpkin Pie card stock. All pumpkins cut with cricut from various patterned paper. Matted on black cardstock
 Patterned paper rectangles matted on black. The spider web was embossed on white and then sponged with black and finished with its occupant, a flocked black spider with googly eyes.
These two pictures of a double side step card.  The bats, cat and spider are flocked black paper and the rest is cardstock. 
 This is today's creation.  A Cascading Card.  Not as difficult to make the base as it seems but the decorating can get tricky. This one has a purple base and a variety of patterned papers to cover the spaces. All the ghouls and ghosts were cut with my cricut mostly from Paper Dolls dress up cartridge on flocked paper.  The card base itself is 4 by 5.5 but all the elements sticky up and out are going to require a larger envelope.  And my OCD crazy person problem is that you can see the unfinished backs of their heads.  I may change it...or leave it and go more insane knowing it is "naked"
