Halloween Skull Card




The Spongebob Cricut cart has some great gems on it! One of them that I found was this skull. It is a great cut for Halloween. I have also found that I really like Core'dinations paper line.
For this card I used a K & Co. Halloween paper pad for the patterned paper. I backed that with a purple-ish frame. I cut a few sizes of circles (sorry, I cant' remember what sizes ): ). The skull is from the Spongebob Squarepants cart. It is one of the feature keys and doesn't have a shadow feature, so I used Design Studio and made my own shadow. It is not a perfect shadow, but it worked for what I needed. I used Core'dinations Black Magic paper behind the skull and embossed it with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes embossing folder and then sanded it so the purple under the black could be seen.
The smaller circle is cut on the Cricut and then embossed with Cuttlebug from the set called "Stitched Circles" and sanded. The "Happy Halloween" is cut with SCAL.
The crows on both the front and back are from the MM Slice card Spellbound. On the front I cut the crow 3 times and layered one on top of the other to make it look thicker. The ribbon is from Target.
On the inside I just used a matching purple cardstock and used the Martha Stewart Spiderweb corner punch to give it a little pizazz.
On the back I used the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch and then layered with a matching piece of patterned paper. I added a matching circle and crow to finish it off. TFL!

Spongebob Squarepants - Oxnard Beach











I love , love, love this cartridge! It is amazing! I decided to make a layout for our trip to the beach that we will take this summer. We live in California, and we are fairly close to the beach but we rarely make it to the beach. I wish we could go more, but time just gets away from us.
Anywho, lets start with the dimensions: Spongebob is 3". Patrick is 3.5". The pineapple house is 5.5". The rock house is 3.5". The jellyfish are 1.5". The jellyfish net is 1.75". The pink and yellow seaweed is 1.75". The blue and turquoise seaweed is 1.5".
Spongebob at 3" is a bit difficult to do. He has lots of bits and pieces. I made a mistake and made his holes yellow and my kids said "Mom, Spongebob's holes are supposed to be darker than the rest of his body". So I got out my Prisma pencils and Mona Lisa mineral spirits and colored his holes green. And I smoothed them out. And viola...darker holes! All the other characters and their houses went together very smoothly.
I added grey shadows to all the characters and houses. I made Old Reliable (Spongebob's Jellyfish catching net) in a few didfferent layers. First I cut it in a dark brown, then in vellum, then in craft. I layered them in that order and backed it with grey. I used stickles on the net to make it sparkle.
I popped all the jellyfish on pop dots. I also popped the word "Oxnard". I added glitter pen to the jellyfish and the seaweed and pineapple. I also added white pen dots here and there for some depth.
Please let me know what you think. TFL!
