Happy Halloween!

Hi Everyone, I hope that everyone is having a great fall season.  We are officially less than one week away from Halloween, so you still have time to create some fun cards and projects like this Box Card Window Black Cat (SVG, Silhouette) I used several of Lori’s Echo Park Paper lines to piece it together including I Love Halloween, A Perfect Autumn, and My Favorite Fall.

I love making Lori’s box cards, they are so easy to put together, really make a statement and fold flat for mailing.  Here is a link to a tutorial for the Window Box Cards.

That’s it for me today, have a great week and Happy Halloween.

Hugs,

Anita

Fall Flower Pail Box Card

Hey friends! Just popping in to share a Fall version of the Box Card Flower Pail (SVG, Silhouette). This little box card is so cute as is but I added a few stickers from the My Favorite Fall collection by Echo Park Paper. The papers are also from the My Favorite Fall collection.

I hope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Harvest Layout – Creating a Lettering Template Tutorial

Happy Fall to everyone, but it is now winter in South Dakota…we got quite a bit of heavy snow and rain last night.  Yuck.  Fall never lasts long enough for me and winter comes way too soon.  I have an easy layout showcasing Fall and trendy red trucks, to share with you today.  I love to take Lori’s sign-type files and turn them into layouts.  I just love the look of these SVG’s and most of the times they are created for a project with vinyl, I like to do a traditional layout with them.

I started with the Harvest Blessings SVG file in Lori’s shop or you can find it here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I just centered it to my Silhouette mat and kept the sizing.

I cut the design from plain white card stock.  I use this as my mask or stencil to line up my letters perfectly.  It’s almost impossible to line up the letters with out the template, so that’s why I started cutting these, it helps keep everything straight!

Next, I cut all the pieces that I wanted in different colors of cardstock.  I didn’t use them all, as I added a photo, other patterned papers and embellishments.

I  laid my template over the background paper of my layout and began gluing the letters and other pieces.  You can see how I started here.

Here’s my finished layout with my perfectly aligned letters. I used Echo Park Paper’s Farmer’s Market Collection . I love using these designs to create layouts.


3D Witch Hat

Hello everyone, I have another Halloween décor project to share today! I used the new 3D Witch Hat 3 (Silhouette, SVG) and the Witch Boots (Silhouette, SVG) to create this decorative piece.

Such a fun and easy project to put together, would also look great on a tiered tray, I sized mine a little smaller so it would fit on mine.

Here’s a closer look, I added one of Lori’s 3D Flowers (Silhouette, SVG). I used paper and embellishments from Echo Park’s Halloween Magic Collection, the project was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo 4.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Spooky Eats Menu Cards

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the menu cards I made using Lori’s I love Halloween collection by Echo Park Paper Co.  Lori has a wide selection of cards available in her shop.  This week, I used the Halloween Center Step cards to make menu cards for an upcoming Halloween Party. I used all four of the center step cards available in the Fall Halloween Project Bundle (SVG).  You can find the four cards individually in the Silhouette Design Store (Witch’s Hat, Haunted House, Jack ‘O Lantern, and Ghost).

Although the center step cards are cute as cards, I just knew they would make perfect menu cards to let guests know what they were eating.  I cut and assembled the files, but I didn’t use the sentiments.  Instead, I printed the names of my dishes into white cardstock and trimmed them with my paper trimmer.  I used a 24 point font (Cake Batter), which was the perfect size for the menu cards.  I inked the edges for a little extra texture.

If you’ve read any of my other posts, you know I am a big fan of foam tape.  I used foam tape to adhere the focal shape to the cards and embellished the cards using stickers from the I Love Halloween collection.  In addition, I used foam tape to adhere the menu labels to the cards.

If you are looking for super cute menu cards for all your holiday parties, I suggest you check out Lori’s collection of center step cards.  They make great cards and adorable labels for all your menu items.

Until next time,

Michelle
