Halloween Decorations

Here are the Halloween decorations I made with my Silhouette Portrait this year:

I also tried a new technique with the “Something Wicked” phrase: print & foil! The phrase is a free Silhouette cut file and printable from Dawn Nicole Designs. I printed the file on black card stock, cut it out with my Portrait, added a couple extra spider webs, and then used silver foil to show off the words. I love how the silver foil looks on black card stock!

I don’t have the Heidi Swapp Minc. foil applicator, although I would love it if I did ;) Instead, I used a laminator to apply the foil to the printed phrase. There is a great post from Jennifer Mcguire Ink about using a laminator, and 4 other ways, to add foil to your crafting projects. Now I want to foil all the things :D

Shapes Used:

• Ghost Set (Design ID #94405)
• October title – Curlz MT font
• Jack o Lantern (Design ID #96164)
  • I used this for the happy little jack o lantern at the top, and the jack o lantern outlines
• Cats – From Kitten Card (Design ID #59082)
• Bats (from the Halloween Haunted House & October 31st Title below)
• Jack o Lanterns with Crow (Design ID #67693)

• Something Wicked This Way Comes
• Halloween Cemetery Scene (Design ID #49922)

Have a spook-tacular Halloween! :)
