A Skull Onesie

What do you do when your attending a baby shower and the theme is gray, teal and skulls? You create a totally awesome baby shower card!

I knew that the Artfully Sent cartridge had a baby onesie swing card, it would just need a little tweaking. I used some chevron gray Geogie paper on the inside and backed it with some lagoon paper to meet the colors of the theme. Then I cut the onesie piece out of some red textured paper so it would stand out on the card. I used the skull image from the Cricut cartridge, but was really uncertain if it would cut so small and intricate. Luckily the Cricut Explore machine is the bomb and got the job done perfectly!

We gifted the soon to be parents a gift card for where they were registered. Placing the gift card inside of the card was not an option as the swing design does not really hold it securely. So instead I cut a chevron sleeve from the same cartridge and dressed it up with another onesie and a welcome baby sentiment. However, instead of another skull I placed the letter 'A' on the front because the babies name will begin with that letter.

I recently created another chevron sleeve card for school this week as we celebrate Dr. Seuss' Birthday! Be sure to follow me on Instagram so you don't miss fun projects like this one!

A Bow on Your Skull!

Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches today, I used some older products I found while cleaning my Scrapbook room! I thought these were cute papers from Imaginisce and put my daughter to work assembling the sticker chipboard pieces. In a promise to her that I would really use them after all her hard work, I created this card. The sketch at FMS was nice and simple and allowed me to keep the card simple as well. The background paper had plenty of detail so I decided to leave the title piece simple with little embellishment. I just added a skull girl with a bow and a trick-or-treat sentiment!

Trick-or-Treat Skull Box

Before I share my new Halloween table setting as promised in my last post, I wanted to share this treat box I made on the Artiste cartridge. I am also entering this in Ribbon Carousel's Halloween Spirit Challenge. 

 

This cute little box was cut on the Cricut Artiste Cartridge page 79 at 5". This size is perfect for filling with mini Halloween assorted chocolates or even a couple of homemade cookies! The skull is from the Thriller stamp set and was embossed in black. The "Oct. 31st" tag is from the new Perfect Fit Halloween stamp and was tied to the top of the box with some black&white striped grosgrain ribbon and olive green twine.

 

This was a fun and simple project that could be duplicated easily for gift giving this Halloween! Please be sure to check out the Ribbon Carousel Blog for more Halloween inspiration!
