And before you say something, I know the black widow wouldn't be coming down on a thread. But like I said above, this is Halloween. And Halloween brings out the fearful things - thus the widow. If you don't want your spider to be a black widow, use the "hide contour" feature in the Design Space or Cricut Craft Room to hide that element on the spider. (BTW, I LOVE the "hide contour" feature!!)
I sponged some black ink on top of the Slate spider web that is covering some Nevermore background and texture paper. "Boo" is cut from Eggplant cardstock. Everything is layered on Fern cardstock. Boo is raised with Thin 3D foam tape while the spider gets the double height of 3D foam tape (Non-stick Micro-tipped Scissors are the perfect tool to cut very thin pieces of the foam tape). Purple Glitter paper makes the spiders diamond shimmer, and black floss becomes the thread the spider is descending from.
My second Boo card is, again, from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge. I hid some extra cuts from "BOO" so that the word is thicker (and cut from Eggplant cardstock). Boo is outlined to further focus on the word. The spider web's ratio was unlocked so that I could make the web into a square shape. Just click on the lock next to the height and width fields on the computer to allow individual alterations. Pear cardstock adds to the brightness of this 4.25" x 4.25"card as the base. Finally, Boo and the spider are once again mounted with foam tape.
I hope either of these cards inspire you to make some Halloween magic yourself. With the Cricut, these cards can be made up quickly. So break out your machine and create - there is still time to send Halloween wishes!
