I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Mine was very uneventful. I did not feel like doing one thing! I finally relented and went to a cook out at my parent's house, but beyond that I didn't do one thing. However, now my laundry is behind and I have to go to the grocery store....sigh
Today's project is a fun card I made using the Artiste cartridge. Now every year people ask what to do with a Halloween card and I have a great answer! I use these cards as thank you cards around Halloween. People seem to really like that and it gives me a change to use fun Halloween paper and cuts! Win win!

I Love this card!! I don't usually make holloween cards, but the idea of using them as thank you cards is wonderful idea, I may just use it this year! Love the Hoot Cart.. Sure hope I win!
Awesome Halloween card!! I don't usually make anything crafty at Halloween, unless sometimes helping my craft buddy.
Carol
Wonderful card! This year I'll be making some Halloween projects for the first time so some inspiration will be really helpful.
So many great cuts on this cartridge and I love how you combined them. Great layers!
What an amazing card it's just the scariest and best Halloween card ever sure am glad I have the Artiste cart. Who wouldn't want it anyway the crafts that you've been making with it have all had the WOW factor and everyone can have it too...just place an order and voila....
Love this card; its spooktacular.
Love the card especially the layers. Sometimes I do halloween projects. If I do it is usually cards that I send to family.
What a great card. Will use it decorate a treat bag for my grandson. Thanks for the idea.
I like the web on that card
I don't know much for Halloween, do send a card to the little relatives butt hat is all
Neat card, I never thought of making Halloween cards for Thank you cards, that is a great idea.
Time to have a Hoot 'n' Hollering great time making cards.
Love the sentiment stamped in the middle of the spider. Great idea. Cool card.
Cute card! I don't usually make Halloween projects, but I love seeing what everyone else makes! TFS
This is BOOtiful! Love the stitching!
I have been looking for ideas, this one is spooktacular! And I just love the giveaway cart, all those owls could be hours and weeks of fun!
I love the card. I always look forward to Halloween every year.
Lovely use of color, we do fall festival instead of halloween
I LOVE all the colorful textured layers! Great idea to use them for "thank-you" purposes. Last year I made some Halloween themed projects for my daughters' elementary school, and a couple little cuties for around the house. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
What a cute haloween card. I love it.
Kathy:)
Your Halloween card is adorable, and what a great idea to give one as a thank you card! You've inspired me to use Halloween paper again! The Hoot'n'Holler cartridge looks like it would be a lot of fun to work with!
Cute card! I don;t do Halloween any more-my kids are way past that stage and where I live no one is young enough to trick or treat.
Great card. I don't do much Halloween, like more general autumn things.

Super cute spider card! I just got Artiste so I may have to scraplift!
I love the Halloween card. I may just have to make it.
Such a cute card!
I don't really make Halloween projects ~ ususally just a couple of cards to send out. This year I'd like to try some pumpkin carving using some Cicut cuts though. I did a pumpkin carving of a dachshund head for a friend a couple of years ago and it turned out well, so I thought I'd give that a try again.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Love it! I love Halloween! This is my first Halloween with a cricut, and I don't have any Halloween carts so I won't be making anything this year. Maybe next year! Love the owl cart, thanks for the opportunity!
I love Halloween and the card is adorable! I always do something for my favorite holiday and since I am a new Cricut user, I plan to make lots of decorations this year! I can't wait!!!!

Really cute card. As for Halloween projects...I usually make cards...I have made some gift bags also. Lee-Ann :)
I usually make a couple Halloween cards to send to family. Other than that, we don't really put a lot of effort into this holiday. We prefer to save it up for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Great Halloween card. I don't make Halloween stuff, however. Thanks
How do you get the files to open? I want to make this card...but really don't want to guess at the sizes to cut!
I don't do halloween, but I do give a hoot about owls and would love to win this owl cartridge,
Carolynn gives a hoot!
Love the card!!! This year I'll be making some candy tubes with fun tags with my Happy Hauntings Cart. I'm also going to create a bat cave for my front door entrance! Would love to add the Hoot cart to my collection...looks like fun!!
Pretty darn cute!
Love your cards, Melanie!
Great idea for using them! Thanks
Don't usually do Halloween projects, but I think I might buy a new cartridge this year. Love your spider card.
I love to decorate for halloween, I plan to make the haunted house on one of my carts. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, I have already been making some different types of Halloween cards! I also make a lot of different treats and mail them to my son's office many states away - he is 30 years old but still loves this! (so does his office)!
Cut card, I love the colors. I don't usually make Halloween cards, but I do love to make Fall cards!
I don't do Holloween things but I love would love to have the Hoot n Hollar cartridge. My daughter has recently shown a love for these kinds of owls. Thanks and keep up the beautiful work!
I usually don't make Halloween projects. That card is so cute though and a good idea to make Halloween Cards as thank you notes.
I love your card! I'm not much of a card maker but I would make this card if I could figure out how! LOL

Halloween is my oldest sons favorite holiday, so the crafts will be in full swing this year :)
As always, great card and great inspiration. I don't really have Halloween projects that I do except for Halloween goodies to eat.

I don't usually do Halloween projects, but I did do a couple of home decor projects using the Cricut last year. After seeing your card, I may have to do some cards!

Years ago I made a Halloween tree to hang 'cheese cloth' ghosts on.. I still have it and bring it out for my dining table.
Darling card and just LOVE the owls on the Hoot cart.
Love that card idea, might need to make some spiders and webs to scatter around the house for halloween....
Adorable card. I don't usually make anything Halloween related. However, I love your idea of using them as thank you notes. Such a great idea! :)
Awesome card for halloween. I made about 15 favor cards for our grand kids last year. Was lots of fun. Thank you for a chance to win.
Love your card! Last year I made " Happy Halloween for Peep's sake" smores treat bags (with ghost Peeps of course). I even made a spider bride & groom card for a wedding shower that was held on Halloween. :)

Love the halloween card!
Hmmm do I make halloween cards? Not usually. I might have to change that tho, if I were to win that cart!!!

I love this card. I usually make Halloween cards for my grand nieces and nephews. We only have a few trick or treaters, so I usually make up cute little goodie bags for them too

Great Halloween card- I needed an idea for my daughter's teachers at school!

These Holloween cards are so cute. I am going to have to get ahead and make little cards for my children, what a fun surprise. Thanks so much.
Perfect time for spiders. Please make that cartridge mine. Thanks! G.G.
I very seldom make Halloween projects anymore as our only child is 27 & lives on her own. We DO put a scarecrow in the yard, made of straw, wearing mens clothes & he stands on his pumpkin head in front of the light post! Thanks for the chance at this adoreable cart!!! kweenbee_612@yahoo.com
I like your idea of using Halloween-themed thank you cards. I think I'll follow your lead. TFS and thanks for the chance to win.

Great Halloween card! I love making Halloween cards. I don't know why. Maybe it's the colors or maybe it's just that it's that time of year. Cooler weather, changing seasons, kids in school, holidays...
I love the card!I'm planning on making my first Halloween card ever for my Sunday School Class. I don't usually make Halloween cards so it will be different and I can use all the inspiration I can get.
What a great card! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love doing Halloween paper crafts with my kids and then hanging them all over the house for decoration.

Love your card! This year for Halloween I'm making die cut treat holders for the people I work with.
My grandson's school does a Trunk or Treat as a safe Holloween activity. The teacher's and kids families send the treats to be handed out. If weather permits we do it out of our car trunks. If not the teachers have their doors decorated and many dress up to hand out the goodies. I make treat bags with toppers and have made decorations for the doors or our car. Love your cards.
First of all, I love the card. This is a great idea. I am crazy with Halloween. This weekend I cut a book in the shape of a pumpkin. Also I already started on my Halloween greeting cards. This year I am going to make a banner that I will hang in the entrance hallway. I love the new "Hoot n Holler" cartridge. Thanks for giving us a chance to win it.
I love your card! I started making Halloween cards a couple years ago when I became a great-aunt. I'd sure love to win this cartridge! :) Thank you for the chance!
I love the Halloween Card. I never know what to do with them, a thank you card is a great idea.
Super cute card. Tanks for sharing and the chance to win.

Great Halloween cuts on this card!
I will probably make more Halloween projects once I am in my new home. However, I have always baked and decorated either with icing or paper designs on toothpicks for Halloween. I absolutely love this cartridge, thank you for the chance!
Thanks for reminding me to get a jump start on my fall and holiday crafts. Adorable Halloween ideas!!
Like the Halloween card with the faux stitching. Seems to be a blogger problem going on. I cannot see all your blog when I click from within email sent to me from your blog. Then I have a problem accessing a couple other blogs: Craft Your Passion & Crafty Sentiments. Would like to know if anyone else is having this problem.
