Halloween Cards

I made some Halloween cards for our Grandchildren! 
All cards were made using the Tim Holtz Alterations Texture Fade - Halloween Background and Borders Set.   There is a video here, showing how to ink the folder before embossing.  I did not ink each word in a separate color like Tim did in his video.  I used only one color for each card.

Click each photo to enlarge.  I know you can't tell from the photo, but the pumpkin is attached with a home made wobble.  When you flick the pumpkin with your finger it wobbles back and forth and the Googly Eyes roll around.  I got the instructions for making home made wobbles from Linda Kaiser here.

Here is the inside of the card.

  • Cricut E2 machine
