Here's a fancy card that won't take you hours to make. This Halloween Raven Card was designed by me with all kinds of little details and accents. I love the black, white and gold celebration colors and I think using these colors for Halloween is a whole new level of elegant and spooky combined. I'm loving it! I think you'll have a ton of fun creating this Cricut project, I can't wait to hear what else you do with these designs.

This Halloween card DIY makes use of all my favorite things about the Cricut Explore cutting machines. You can cut a fancy design from your favorite cardstock, print a fun background to use on the card and draw gold spiderweb accents… all with the Cricut Explore (air). Awesome, right!?
