Halloween Card - The Cuttlebug Spot


Hi all! Here's my post for the Cuttlebug Spot. I have been battling sinus headaches on and off all week... Today is the very first day that I have actually felt like my old self. :) 

This is an A2 card. I used kraft cardstock for the card base. I used the skeleton scroll embossing folder and embossed a 5.25 in by 4 in vintage cream cardstock from Paper Trey Ink. I used distress inks to create this halloween-ish effect for the background. I cut the tree from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. The moon is from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge out of a bright yellow cardstock, I used the same distress inks to give it some color. 

It's your turn! Play along with us at The Cuttlebug Spot. See you there!

    Yes, Jannie, we are a great mix!

    @Theresa, Thanks so much. I had a million and one ideas for this card but while I was making this card last week, my eyes won't stay open long enough for me to finish the card. I was so sick. :( So I stuck with a simpler one.

    @Meredith, Thanks a lot! Hope to see you guys's work at TCS when Nilda gets everything straightened out with her computer.

    @Jennifer, I ordered this folder months ago thinking it was just some pretty folder with nice swirls... I didn't look close enough to realize there were skulls on the thing!!! LOL I got it for $1.25 I think online.
