Maybe it&#8217;s just cause I associate it with Halloween, which is such a fun holiday, but I love this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftdirect.com\/collections\/cricut\">Cricut<\/a> <\/strong>layout I was able to come up with, and I&#8217;m excited to see what I can come up with in the future (not to mention I&#8217;d love to see what you come up with). We have an excellent collection of <strong>Cricut Halloween cartridges<\/strong>. Check them out!.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Halloween Layout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alright, so you can probably reverse engineer everything I did just by looking at it, but here are the details on this layout I made for my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftdirect.com\/collections\/stamping\"><strong>scrapbook<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>This cartridge has some beautiful spider webs on it that, when you cut them out at the full mat size (approx. 11 inches), they can transform a plain colored sheet of paper into a custom beautiful layout. Without a lot of work or spending a lot of money on a pre-cut <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftdirect.com\/collections\/material-paper\">cardstock<\/a> <\/strong>sheet, you can make the design a lot more dynamic and I think you will really like the results.<\/p>\n<p>For this layout I used my\u00a0<strong>Cricut machine<\/strong> cut the spider web out at 11 inches and the Halloween at 3 inches (note the Halloween is two separate image cuts) and then the 3.5 x 3.5 inches squares and one 5 x 7 inches square for all the fun Halloween pictures I\u2019m sure to have. I love using ribbon, but what kind of embellishments do you prefer? Rhinestone gems didn&#8217;t seem very Halloween-ish to me.<\/p>\n<p>Save on <strong>Cricut cartridges<\/strong> and please share your own creations with us and demonstrate how to use the Cricut Monster Bash. Also, it&#8217;s never a bad idea to have fresh replacements on hand, so save on <strong>Cricut cutting mats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Richelle Naegle One of the more fun cartridges is the Monster Bash cartridge.
