Melissa's Halloween Door Hanger

I started with an inspiration from the Sept/Oct issue of PaperCrafts Magazine (from page 60 if you have it).  I loved the idea of a holiday door or wall hanger.  My project ended up being 12" tall by 4" wide if you want to make one of your own. 

I took the cardboard from some empty cereal boxes and double layered for extra thickness.  I than cut some black paper from the Bazzill Dotted Swiss Pack and filed it down to make the dots pop.  Using my Spellbinders Labels 18, I cut out the largest shape on a sheet of orange paper from my Echo Park Apothecary paper pack.  I trimmed off the edges and added it to the top and bottom of my hanger.

I took a cream piece of paper from my stash and traced the edges of it with my copic YR18 for some added pop and added 3 squares of paper from the Echo Park Apothecary pack.  I added holes and eyelets with my big bite as the thickness of the cardboard and paper made it a little difficult with my cropadile. 

I added buttons from my stash and colored some white ribbon with my Copic 110 to add some black.  I printed the sentiment for free from here, trimmed and lined it with some left over black paper and used Kool Tak to make the sentiment pop up.

Then for extra, I went over the sentiment with my Spicas and the birds in the trees.

Hope you like it!!

Blog Candy for SCAL and Make-The-Cut Users

Cutter's Creek has everything you could want for the Cricut, but also carries software to borrow, or create your own images to cut on your Cricut. I bought SCAL2 and MTC and now I am expanding my library of images. Combine Cricut Cartridge images, and add special touches with SVG images and SCAL or MTC.


In honor of my excitment with the new software I bought at Cutter's Creek, here is a free SVG file for you. It is a tag book! This book folds and has pockets so you can slip a photo or sentiment. Cut more than one and glue together to create a meandering book.



Here is a preview:






















This is what the inside looks like. Wanted to show you what it looks like with the pockets. I used Bazzill paper. The tag has score lines so it is easy to fold.
