Welcome to the Monster Mash Blog Hop, brought to you by the design teams of Made Especially For You and Exploring Cricut!
Today the design teams of Made Especially For You and Exploring Cricut have teamed up to share with you all sorts of spooktacular monster-themed projects to help get your crafty gears turning for all those upcoming Halloween projects!
If you're just starting the hop, you're in the right place!
I decided to make some fun monster-shaped cards using the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. :) It's not a cartridge that gets used often since it's Halloween-themed, but it's perfect for this time of year. And every cut can be made into a card! I knew I couldn't pass that feature up when deciding what to make for the hop. I decided to make two cards since we all know two is better than one. :)

Not sure why he only has one arm, lol!

Both cards are cut at 5.5" and I didn't do anything to the inside these were also test cards to make for the third graders I am student teaching this semester for their Halloween party, so I left them blank to decide if I was going to use them or not. I used Recollections cardstock for the solid colors and then DCWV and Recollections patterned paper for the stomachs and ears. And yes, those are googly eyes. :) I thought these turned out so cute and they were SO easy and quick to make!
