Episode 14 - Witch door hanging

Hi Crafters! Today is Episode 14 in my Cricut and Gypsy video series. Today we are making a
Witches door hanging.

I have to say, I didn't think up this idea, I saw Christina over at Creations with Christina where she
made a really cute Halloween door hanging. So I thought I just have to make one! So here is my
version.

I hope you enjoy!








Sorry for the length of the videos! I just couldn't shorten any and still give you all the directions needed.

So here is the finished door hanging! I love how it turned out!

If you would like the gypsy file you can find it Here

Episode 13 Pumpkin slider card

Hi Crafters!!! Happy Saturday....today I have another video in my video series using the Cricut and Gypsy..I am making a Pumpkin slider card.

I made a cupcake slider card a few weeks ago, and I just loved it..so I thought I would try the same technique with some other images...I think this one turned out just as cute!

What do you think?

I added a little black bow on the top of the pumpkins head..it just looked to plain for me..
