Place the cauldron and face on the red witch in the appropriate places. Now adhere the red witch to the gate card only on one side of gate about half way. Note: the witch should be in the middle of card front.

What do you do with one 12" x 12" double sided pattern paper, some cardstock and an hour or two? Make 5 cards.



I used Sassafras "Vintage Lovely" for the 5 cards I completed.
Here is the complete list of what I used for these cards:
  • "Vintage Lovely" pattern paper by Sassafras
  • Paper Accents cardstock - Light Pink, Bright Pink, Light Blue, Blue (color?) & white
  • Pink & blue ink & sponges for edges of the cuts
  • Dk. & light pink brads
  • Corner rounder punch
  • Decorative edge punch
  • Cricut cuts for George Basic shapes & Elegant Edges cartridges
Most of the cardstock I used for cuts & borders was in my box of saved extra cardstock paper. I hate to throw out anything larger than 3" x 3".
Check out my blog at inspire-a-tion.blogspot.com I have class photos of past projects and I have been a Cricut cutting fool for the past couple of weeks and will be psoting more of my projects in the coming weeks.
