Pumpkins Sweets Spooks & Treats Sign

Hi friends! Today I wanted to share a cute little sign I made for my Halloween tiered tray décor. I used the Pumpkins Sweets Spooks & Treats file (SVG, Silhouette). I used my Glowforge laser cutter to engrave the image, but the same look can be achieved with vinyl. This saying would also be really cute on a shirt with iron on vinyl. This sign will be so cute in my kitchen for the spooky season.

And don’t forget, there’s a sale happening now in Lori’s SVG Shop!  All of the physical paper products from Echo Park Paper are 15% off through Saturday when you use code SAVE15 at checkout!  It’s the perfect time to stock up! **

Halloween Countdown Tutorial

Hi there Lori Whitlock friends! Anyone else look forward to this time of year to do all the fun Fall/Halloween crafts? It is my favorite.

I am sharing a fun idea for a Halloween countdown today. I used my Glowforge laser cutter to  make this project out of wood but it would also be cute as a flat design cut out of paper or vinyl and applied to a premade sign blank. I also think my steps below would work for cutting this project out of chipboard if your machine does that.

The files I used are Halloween Haunted House Scene (SVG, Silhouette), Halloween Tree (SVG, Silhouette), Halloween Tombstones (SVG, Silhouette), and the Spooky Font (SVG, Silhouette).  I also used the rectangle tool in Silhouette to create my base.

For the numbered tombstones I wanted a simple shape. I used the knife tool in Silhouette to slice off the cross from the tombstone on the end.  I then typed out the numbers 0-9 and cut an extra 1,2, and 3 so that I would be able to do the higher number double digits in the count down.

I then typed out days till Halloween in the spooky font and created an offset. I welded the offset letters together and grouped them together to keep the word spacing from shifting.

With the offset letters, house scene, and the spooky trees I welded  a rectangle to the bottom of the images to create a tab to fit into the slots that I add to my base. The dimensions of the rectangles for the base are determined by the width of the material being used. If you are making a flat countdown this step is not necessary.

Once I had the tabs added to the images I created the slots in the base of the countdown. The top two small rectangles are for the spooky trees. The middle rectangle is for the house scene and the bottom rectangle is for the numbered tombstones and days till Halloween letters. I centered the skinny rectangles on the larger rectangle then spaced them as shown below. I selected all of the rectangles and created a compound path. The large black rectangle is the bottom of the base.

I cut everything out, painted, and assembled.

I really like how it turned out and my little guy cant wait to start counting down the days to Halloween. If you have any questions let us know. Thanks for stopping by!

Bee Humble Loving Yourself Happy Kind Sweet Sign

Hi there friends! I’m dropping in today to share this cute new bee file with you today. (SVG, Silhouette) I made it as a sign to hang in my home but it would also be awesome on a t-shirt. I love the message and that bee is darling.

I cut the design from wood using my new Glowforge laser cutter and Silhouette Studio Software.  I love that I can use Lori’s SVGs with my new machine! You could also create this using layers of chipboard or paper.  I hope your week is great! Thanks for stopping by!
