Marie and Dan's engagement party was Sunday. Everyone had a lot of fun. It was a ton of work. I made all of the food for 30 people-appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. I was so exhausted on Monday I could hardly function. Now that their housewarming and engagement parties are over, I am taking a break from all things wedding.
So I have moved onto Halloween. There are lots of decorations in the attic, but I decided that even before I looked to see what is up there, I would make a few new things.
I started with a Halloween tea light scene. I used my Tim Holtz Vintage Cabinet Card die to cut the sides for the scene. I cut the pieces from spider web themed tag, vellum and chipboard. I adhered spider paper to the front of the chipboard pieces. Then I adhered a piece of vellum to the backside of the chipboard and added spider paper to the edges of it.
I paper punched bats, rats, and spiders and ran them through my Xyron X maker to put adhesive on them. Then I adhered them to the vellum. I also added some confetti spiders and pumpkins. I cut the word "boo" from some borders I had in my stash and added them to the vellum along with some daddy long leg stickers.
I used some thin green SEI ribbon to bind the pieces together. A battery operated tea light is in the middle of the scene. When I dim the lights all of the embellishments stand our clearly and create a fun Halloween scene.
If you don't own the die that I used, I am sure you could create something similar with other dies that you may have.
Have a wonderful day!
