Happy Halloween

I wrote in my last post how I made some orange and black bakers twine, using my Glimmer Mist.  Here is my layout that I used it on.

I used a couple of different Halloween papers.  I have to admit, I love Halloween paper, so I have several different collections!  Echo Park, Theresa Collins, and Making Memories are some of my favs.  I also used my skull washi tape, from the dollar bins at WalMart.  I'm sure you will see more of that!  Happy crafting!!

Halloween Blocks

Here is another project that I finished up for a birthday gift. Halloween blocks! I loved how these turned out and I think that I need to make a set for myself!! I started with some blocks that my husband cut for me. Some of the craft stores carry wooden blocks, but you may not find the exact size that you want. Then I sanded and painted them black. After the paint dried, I sanded the edges a little to distress it. I used Modge Podge to glue some paper on the front of the blocks. The paper was from a Halloween kit that I bought from Target a couple of years ago! I sprayed some Glimmer Mist on the paper before I added the embellishments. The rub-ons are part of the Target kit. Most of the die cuts and letters are cut from the Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge. For the skull, I used Indie Art. To protect the rub-ons and the die cuts, I covered the front in a couple of coats of Modge Podge. These blocks are cute and easy to make. You can make them for any holiday or even your last name. I think that they would look cute on the mantle!

Silhouette Pumkin with Cricut Cuts!

I had an accident while carving my pumpkin this weekend! I had tried to make my own Batman stencil and I messed up a cut and accidently cut him out! Next year I will have to take a little more time to draw it out. I didn't want to waste the pumpkin, but it had a big hole in it. So I came up with a way to salvage it. I cut out the house and ghost from Happy Hauntings out of some cardstock that I don't ever use. (It used to be black, but had faded. Perfect for this project!) I glued it to some parchment paper and put it inside the pumpkin. I would suggest using a battery operated light inside to keep anything from catching on fire. I had cut out some more to add to it, but the hole was too small. I think that I will add the fence and the tree back to it now that I know it looks a little sparse. I will update with some more pictures when I get it finished! Happy crafting!

Boo! 2nd DT project

Here is my second project for the Whimsical Scraps and Bugs Design Team. The challenge was to use the colors black, orange, purple, and yellow, Design Studio, and glitter. I did get stuck on the yellow and the glitter but I do think that this is a fun layout. I welded my title together in Design Studio and then hand cut a ghost out to put behind the title. ( I tried to design a ghost, but wasn't happy with the results.) The bats are from a shaped ribbon and I just cut them apart and used Glue Dots to attach them. The white letters are leftovers from my Quickuts that I keep in a box. They are a mix of all my mini's. Thanks for looking. Happy crafting!
