Halloween Mini Cards

Hello everyone!  I know it's only August (well almost September), but I couldn't wait to make some Halloween cards!  Back around Valentine's Day there was a challenge to create a "mini" card (3 x 3"), and I couldn't believe how cute that size turned out to be!  So....  I decided to make some "mini" cards for Halloween...  Our challenge this week at Joy's Life was to create a project using Cri-Kit pens.  I had never used these before, but they are amazing!  I don't know what kind of gel pens these are, but they don't leave blank spots in the lines like my regular pens do!  It's so fun to watch the Cricut drawing out your image instead of cutting it (I'm easily entertained)!  :)  Here are my cards...

To make these: I used my Gypsy to decide on the size of the image, then I put a 2 3/4" square piece of white paper on the mat, and it drew the images right where I wanted them.  After they were drawn, I just had to tape the white pieces onto the card bases (3 x 6" folded in half), stamp the sentiments, and embellish them a bit.  Easy peasy!!!

Mini Monsters- spider & web drawn at 1.86"
Joy's Life Stamps- Halloween Puns
Cri-Kits pens- glitter set
Stickles- turquoise
Googly eyes

Celebrate with Flourish- witch drawn at 2.22"

Graphically Speaking- eyes drawn at 1.86"

I thought these could be given out to kids, co-workers, family, friends, etc.  Just attach one of these to a Halloween treat and VOILA!  Thanks for stopping by!!!!  :)
