October KrEative Design Team Project!

SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN!!

 

So, here are my projects for The Village Scrapbooker KrEative design team!  I'm so excited about how these projects turned out! I chose the Spooky collection by Carta Bella to create all three of these projects.  I love how the orange pops off the black and white papers. 

 

Haunted Mansion

For my home décor project I decided to make this awesome haunted mansion. I used my silhouette cameo and the Maple Manor file from SVGCUTS to create it.  I used multiple sheets of black and gray Bazzill cardstock to create the mansion.  I like to use the Bazzill because it's really thick and sturdy and helps with 3D projects. I also used Scotch Quick Dry as my adhesive.

 

 

After I cut all my pieces out I used black and white inks to ink all my edges to add to the spookiness of the mansion.  For the windows I used vellum so that my battery operated tea light candles can glow through. 

 



 

The back of the mansion opens so you can use it either as a gift box or you can just add the tea light candles to make a spooktacular Halloween decoration. 

 

JACK O'LANTERN

I decided to make another home décor project and really wanted to make this adorable jack 'olantern from SVGCUTS Haunted Forest kit. I knew these pattern papers from the Spooky collection would work awesome with it!  To create this I used black, white, and orange Bazzill cardstock.  I also added some bling to the hat and a spider brad in the center of the flower.  Again, I like to ink all my edges with black and white ink.  Like the mansion you can lift the hat up and add a battery operated tea light candle to create a fantastic decoration. 

 

 

Bewitching Halloween

For one of my projects I had to create a card and I instantly knew I wanted to make a shaped card!  I love this witch boot shaped card that I got from the Silhouette store! So with my silhouette cameo I cut the pieces out from the Spooky collection kit and inked all my edges.  I added some grosgrain ribbon as a shoelace and black tulle at the top of the boot.  I used the Happy Halloween sticker that came with the Spooky collection and created a tag and tied it to the top of the card.  To finish off the card I sporadically added Stickles to the diamonds on the pattern paper. 

 

 

So, I hope everyone enjoyed my projects for this month! I really enjoyed working with the Carta Bella Spooky collection kit because the papers are really thick and sturdy.  The orange really pops with the black and white patterns and makes for some awesome Halloween projects!  Stop by The Village Scrapbooker to see these projects in person!

Baptism Gift

Isn't it amazing what you can do with paper and glue? When it came time to get a gift together for a baptism I knew I wanted to create something beautiful and this was perfect! This church acts as both a beautiful light up display and a gift box! 

 

 

 The church is from the file Silent Night from SVGcuts.com and measures a massive 18 1/2" tall.

 

There is a large enough opening in the back to add any special gift/card.

 

I added a jingle bell to the steeple using twine.  Included in the extra folder of this file is a cross.  I decided to add it to the front of the church instead of on the steeple.   

 

Added tea lights makes this so beautiful.

 

 

At the last minute I wanted to add a coordinating card so I used my scraps to make this card. This 3D stand up card file is from the silhouette store.

 

 

Other products used: The paper is from Authentique Collection Favorite: Desirable, Collectable, Indelible, Foundation Two.  Coordinating cardstock, Vellum, and Scotch Quick Dry glue.

  

Down by the Sea

I finally got around to making myself something for my craft room!  Anyone who knows me knows that I love lighthouses and being by the water. When I saw the Seaside SVG kit from SVGCUTS I just knew I had to put it together! To make it even more exciting there are areas within the lighthouse to place battery operated tea light candles!!  You can even use this as a gift box if you want!  Crafting with this in my room is going to be so relaxing!  On to the details...

 

 

The lighthouse stands a little over 15 inches tall. You can compare how tall it is to my lamp in the background.  To make this I used 4 pieces of white cardstock, one sheet of coordinating red cardstock, and paper from the By the Sea Collection by Graphic 45. Specifically, I used Splash and both sides of Set Sail. I wanted the lighthouse to look aged so I inked the edges in chestnut ink.  To finish this off I added 2 tea light candles (battery operated) in the bottom and the top of the lighthouse.
