Cooking With Cricut Card Outreach


Happy Wednesday and welcome to the Cooking With Cricut  challenge.  This week our challenge is to make fun, (not scary) Halloween cards for Madison's IFEEL THE LOVE PROJECT.


The "I Feel the Love" Project for September is to make Halloween Cards to be given to the kids who live at Casa Pacifica.   Casa Pacifica serves abused and neglected children and adolescents, and those with severe emotional, social, behavioral, and mental health challenges on California’s Central Coast.  Each year the facility has an amazing Halloween party for the kids. It is IFTL's goal to send a card to each of the 70 children who reside there.  (For more information about Casa Pacifica please visit their website.)



This fun Halloween card began with an embossed background created with a Spellbinder M-Bossibilities folder.  I used the the Happy Hauntings cartridge to cut out the cat.  Then I added a cute bow to his tail and gave him some shiny green eyes.  The cute little candy corn pieces are cut from the Smiley Cards cartridge.  All of the paper I used is from Recollections.  And the sentiment is from a Just Rite Stampers Mini Halloween set. 

You should really check out the cute cards made by our design team over at Cooking With Cricut.  They are all fabulous!  But please join our challenge make a fun Halloween card for these sweet children and link it up over at the I Feel The Love Project.

I'm so glad you came by for a visit.  Hope to see you back real soon!

  7. Oh my goodness, Charlotte, you made that cat look just adorable and I love the candy corn (we must have been on the same wave length LOL). The embossed background just sets everything off perfectly.

  8. My sweet friend, what a timely comment you left me! I have been thinking of you extra since yesterday... want to know why? Olivia received her box of crafty love on Thursday and it was like Christmas morning! As her Aunt told me all about the scene (which SHE was left speechless as she witnessed Olivia experience such joy), I thought of your card for her. It really struck my heart that you personalized it so beautifully and I know it meant a lot to Olivia, too. It warmed sweet Olivia's heart to see how far her mother's reach extended. She still views things through the most beautiful eyes. :o) She is growing stronger every day and the IFTL project (which was kept a surprise for added impact) brought such encouragement to her. Always know that you will forever hold a special place in her heart. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!

    Hugs and blessings!
