Halloween Card in a Box Using Cricut and Close To My Heart

I enjoy designing these "Cards in a Box" and they are so popular right now.  This one is themed for Halloween. I used the new Close To My Heart "Scaredy Cat" paper Packet and "Halloween Greetings" My Acrylix stamp set.  For the die cuts I used the Cricut cartridges A Frightful Affair and Happy Hauntings. I inked the arms and skulls sticking out of the ground so that they seem to be dirty. The ghosts in the trees are cut from velum and lightly lined with glitter around the edges - just very lightly.  This card in a box fits perfectly into an A2 size envelope.

I have been waiting to have an inspiration for a Card In A Box. This week my daughter called to let me know her boss and mentor who's last name is Fox would be leaving...I finally had my inspiration. 

Using the Close To My Heart Ariana paper pack and the Wild About Love acrylix stamp set I designed this adorable card in a box. I used my Cricut machine and the Give A Hoot cartridge to make the trees and to cut out the stamped images I used my Silhouette Cameo.  It was fun and easy to make and fits perfectly into an A2 size envelope. 

It has been a fantastic summer with family visiting us frequently over the last few weeks. The weather has been perfect. It was great having everyone around and little ones running through the house. But all good things must come to an end and now it is back to crafting!!  This post is a beautiful birthday card that I made for my sister. She loves it!!

This tri-fold card was desiged  with the Close To My Heart Ariana paper pack and stamped with the Close To My Heart sets - Swirls Around Flair D1551 and Cricut Art Philosophy Celebration D1497.  I used several small items for embellishments.  This card design can be used for any occasion.
