These amazing, easy cards were all made using our new Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge! I LOVE this new Cricut cartridge and think it's a must for every paper crafter! All of these cards only took 1/2 hour to make and I love how they turned out!

The first 3 are Picture My Life cards that fit into our Memory Protectors! This is a great way to scrapbook your Halloween memories easily! They are great for kids to make and embellish! I used some Baker's Twine, White Daisy ink pad and sponge dauber, Sparkles Black Flourishes, Black & Grey Assortment Sparkles, and paper from Scaredy Cat paper packet as well as some embellishments from Scaredy Cat Complements.

The last one is a full scene card - creating beautiful, handmade cards has never been easier! I used the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge, black cardstock, orange cardstock, our White Daisy ink pad and a sponge dauber and put it together and viola - done!

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Kristine of Home with Studio K.

Easy, Fun Techniques to try on your next card or layout:

On the "Say Cheese" card I cut out the middle of the lens and popped it up using 3D foam tape and then I added a black sequin to make it pop out.

On the "Look How You Shine" card I created my own background paper by stamping using the stars from our NEW Great Job stamp set using our fantastic White Daisy pigment ink pad.

For my double page layout, I used a direct to paper technique using our White Daisy pigment ink pad. I love the look of it - it looks like chalkboard!
