Quick Halloween Sign.

Hi everyone, today is my day to be a guest designer on Shesasassy Lady.  I wanted to show you a quick Halloween sign I made.  I got the idea from a wooden sign I saw at Hobby Lobby.

You will need:
Ribbon
Circuit Expression
Cardstock(I used regular, glittered, and shimmer)
Happy Hauntings Cart
Oct 31
Heritage
George, or any cart with an oval
Glue
I also used my Gypsy, but after I got it done, I realized you did't need one

I started with Heritage and cut the scroll sign at 11.39 high using glittered black cardstock.

I started with the oval from George at 7.24, using shimmery cardstock and placing the following cuts inside of the oval, I cut the house from Oct 31 at 3.39

The Bats from Happy Hauntings at .30

The moon from Oct 31 at 1.12.

In hindsight, I could have just cut the oval by itself, and then in black cardstock cut the House, Bats and Moon, and glued them on top of the shimmery instead of trying to place the cuts within the oval.  After I got it all together, I realized I made this harder than it needed to be.

Using Happy Hauntings, I cut both of the above pumpkins with their layers in various sizes.

The owl and it's layers is from Happy Hautings cut at 4.18.

Like I said, you really didn't need your Gypsy, I just started placing the items I wanted to cut on the screens and sized them to each previous layer.

Here is the completed project.

When I put the above pumpkin together with his layers, the whole time I kept thinking of the line from the movie Toy Story, when Mrs. Potato Head was packing Mr. Potato Head's butt, and said he needed his "Angry Eyes".  Boy this pumpkin sure has Angry Eyes.

I wished I would have cut the scary top layer in black instead of grey.  I am not liking this too much.

Thanks Sheila for having me as a guest designer today,  Beth.

Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge #4 Boo Challenge



This is my project for the circle blog, Boo Challenge.  It is a gift bag with a window cut into it with Plastic film over it.  Peeking out from behind the window are 2 very scary ghosties.  I cut the bag from TBBM, the grass from the Easter mini, the bats, ghosties, window and very scarey pumpkin from Oct 31st.  I glittered the grass by running it thru my Xyron. 

The handle above is the skull and bones border welded with my Gypsy and attached as a handle. I like how this turned out. Hope you will too.

Halloween challenge over at Erin Lee Creative

Erin is having a halloween challenge on her blog, and this is what I created for it.

I purchased 2 very cool cricut carts, Happy Hauntings and October 31st.  I love Halloween, and these carts have so much potential.

I started with a 12x12 frame and a piece of 12x12 cream colored cardstock.  With a clear swirly stamp, I stamped in orange and black swirls over the carstock.

With October 31, I cut the tree, house, fence, and owl.  Using my Gypsy, I also took the house and using hide contour on the house, I deleted all of the inside cuts on the house so I could have a solid  orange background for the black house to be mounted on.  With Happy Hauntings and vinyl, I cut the words happy halloween and put on the outside of the glass.  The tree was cut to a height of 11", and the house was cut at 6.5.  I put my pressure on medium for the cuts because they were so intricate.  I love how the fence turned out, its so delicate.

Until next time, keep crafting.
