The challenge at Cute Card Thursday this week is to use stars or something spooky on your card. I have used this Magnolia snowman which I bought last year but never got round to using!! The snowflakes are cut on the Cricut and then glittered as I'm not sure if you can cut glitter card in the Cricut.

Magnolia DT, Dutch Dare + Theme Thursday
I have made this card using another of the fabby new Pink Collection 08 stamps from Magnolia. It is for the Dutch Dare challenge which is to use cardstock only and also the Theme Thursday challenge where the theme is pink. I found this quite a hard card to make as I am not a 'pink' girl!! The embossed card and flower have had glitter put on them to add lots of sparkle but this won't show up in the photo no matter how many times I have tried! The card is aldso white but looks grey for some reason.

Cute Card Thursday 'Autumn' Challenge
The challenge at Cute Card Thursday this week is to make an Autumn themed card and we have some fab stamps from Alota stamps to give to one lucky winner.
I have made a 6" Z Fold card and turned it the other way, the sentiment is behind the picture of Edwin. I have used my favourite papers by Cosmo Cricket and lots of Glossy Accents on the acorn.

Supplies
Stamps: Magnolia - Edwin with Broom, Owl, Iron Fence, Ant, Acorn, Oak Leaves
Tools: Pro Markers, Glossy Accents, Sakura Clear Stardust Pen, Scallop Scissors, Brad

Edited: A couple of people have asked how I folded the card, it is a 6" sq card with the front folded at 3" to form a concertina and then instead of standing the card upright it is lying on its base. The brad is there to stop the front sliding down and a sentiment is hidden on the base behind the main picture. I saw this card fold on a website but I can't remember the name of it now.
