Lately I have been on a little bit of a vinyl kick. I'm really loving how easy and fun it is to use! I also have been using glossy accents a whole lot. So today, I have two projects to share, one using vinyl and the second using glossy accents.
I love vintage Halloween items and decor, as I've said a few times before. Earlier this year, when SVG Cuts released their Midnight Jamboree kit, I was ecstatic and in love! Everything in the kit is so gorgeous! It's seriously one of my favorite kits that they put out.
Supplies:
-Silhouette Cameo
-SVG Cuts - Midnight Jamboree Kit
-Silhouette Scraper
-8.5 x 11 inch frame from the local dollar store
-piece of 12x12 black vinyl
-piece of 8.5 x 11 inch paper - I used the card patterned paper from Authentique's Enchanted Collection
First, I cut a piece of 12x12 paper down to 8.5 x 11, opened the back of the frame and put in the paper as you would put in a picture. I then closed the frame.
In SCAL 3, I imported the happy cat silhouette and resized the height to 6 inches. Then I loaded the black vinyl into my Silhouette Cameo and cut it out.
Next I placed the cat silhouette cut out onto the middle of the top of the frame and smoothed it out using the Silhouette scraper.
I didn't use transfer paper, but feel free to! While I haven't used transfer paper at all (ever) yet, I've heard it's easy to use and makes vinyl life so much simpler.
Isn't this a cute and easy Halloween decoration for your mantle decor?! I think the hardest part was choosing what background paper to use!
Over at the Bombshell Stamps Blog there's a fun challenge going on. Basically, you find one of the Friday Bombshell Tutorials you like and create a project based on it! It was a tough decision to narrow down to the one tutorial I wanted to do, but I decided on using my glossy accents and the "You're So Magnetic" Tutorial that Alaine posted last year.
Here are my Halloween Leaf Magnets:

I was still looking for ideas on what to do with the paper I'm in love with & can't bring myself to cut (especially my Halloween pages from "me & my big ideas book). This frame with vinyl decal is an awesome idea. Then I can switch it out for another come next holiday! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI really like both projects. The kat with the playing card background really does seem vintage. I truly like the black and orange playing cards.
ReplyDeleteThe Halloween magnets are fun and will add a great touch to the kitchen decor.
