Hi friends! Kelly Daye here with another fun layout created with Paige’s awesome Tricks & Treats collection and her Cut and Fold Bat Background cut file!
I wanted lots of bats so I shrank the Cut and Fold Bat Background cut file to 4.20 inches to repeat it around the page. After centering the bats in the file, I added a scallop around the edge and cut it from Paper 12. These types of files are a fun way to reveal both sides of the patterned paper! It’s popped up with foam squares over colorful Paper 9. I love that so many colors from the collection peek through! Since I had the scalloped edge of Paper 1 left, I flipped it over and used the floral side as a border on the background. Still not done, ha! I chain stitched around the scallop, adding sequins from my stash on every stitch. Sparkle and shine!! Now for the main event! I cut Paige’s Sugar Skull Half from black cardstock twice and glued them together. I like the chunky depth it gives to the file. I backed it with papers from Tricks & Treats and added my own four-year-old face as the other side of the Sugar Skull Half, LOL. In the little vignettes around the skull, you’ll find; Floral Ephemera, Mini Puffy Stickers, Journaling Ephemera, Icon Ephemera, Foam Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, Washi Tape and Enamel Dots. My title was made with Phrase Thickers and for fun, I added some Mini Puffy Stickers. Letter A in MAGICAL is wearing a tiny witch hat, hehe. I hope you found some cute ideas for your own very scary Halloween projects. Find lots more Halloween inspiration right here and here!
