Candy Corn Card
My niece mentioned she'd just purchased a bag of candy corn and that was her signal that fall is here. Thinking about the candy corn inspired me to make a Halloween card with that confection as the focal point.
I traced a clip art image of candy corn and cut it on my Cameo. The face is a Peachy Keen stamp. The background seemed too plain so I cut some 5/8" squares in half to make the photo corners and added some pen stitching to break up the area.

Witch and Trees Silhouette Card
The inspirations for this card was found at Marybeth's Time for Paper. For my card I used a Silhouette file for a birch forest card front and cut the trees apart. The witch is a clip art image that I traced and did a print and cut. The bats were done with a Bitty Butterfly and 1/2" circle punch. The words were embossed with white embossing powder.
I like the way this turned out. It's something a little different than the bright oranges, purples and greens of the other Halloween cards I've made this week.

Witch Hat Card
Using my Silhouette, I did a print and cut for the feet and hat, then pop dotted them. The hat is a clip art image and the feet are from Miss Kate's Cuttables free design she offered this week.
The bat was done using a SU Bitty Butterfly punch and a 1/2" circle punch. It was a tip I saw on Pinterest.
The sentiment was printed using my computer. I added some metallic stars onto the background.

Embossed Fall Card
The base was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and inked with Close to Cocoa ink.
I layered two colors of ribbon using my ATG gun.
The leaf is silk. I printed the sentiment and punched it out with a scalloped circle punch, then added some dots with markers. The circle is pop dotted for dimension.
The sentiment was moved on this one just to see how it looked. I believe I prefer the sentiment on the lower right side.

Two Ghosts Halloween Card
Thanks to Kat Schriber, I got a file to cut a sunburst design for an A2 card. I've tried cutting the segments by hand and they're a total pain to do!
I wanted the sunburst design to be filled in on every other segment and worked for a while in the Silhouette software trying to eliminate some cut lines.
All I accomplished was breaking the segments apart and losing the entire outer border. Then I was only able to eliminate the cut lines on a couple of segments so I gave up. To finish these cards I just laid the cut out pieces back into the grid and glued them down.
Hopefully tomorrow Kat can walk me through modifying the design and I'll have the sunburst I wanted.

Giant Butterfly Card
Dawn Griffith, a Stampin' Up demonstrator, posted a card like this using an over sized monarch butterfly stamp and some oval dies. I thought it was cute since the butterfly image is inserted inside the ovals and decided to do my version of her card.
The butterfly stamp is one that I've considered buying and decided that I wouldn't use it often enough to justify the purchase. I definitely don't need to buy oval dies since I have a Cameo and software to cut whatever size I need.
The butterfly on my card is actually a wall decal from Dollar Tree. I applied it onto a piece of white cardstock for stability and cut it out by hand. The ovals were cut to fit the butterfly. One is cut from some yellow glitter paper.
Once the card was assembled I thought it was still too plain. I added a punched border of daisies at the top and bottom and a paper daisy and decided it looked okay.
