Gift Card - using Plantin Schoolbook and Cheerful Seasons

This was a fun and simple project.
I cut the gift card holder from PS cart at 3 1/4" using function key Envelope and Tall Ball. Inked the edges and used sturdy tape to keep it closed.
Cut the birdhouse from Cheerful Seasons at 3".
Insert brad and added branches using MS punch.

BOO CD repurpose wall hanging

To think last December I hand cut out these darn circles by hand and there on Plantin School book was a circle I could have used - I set the size at 4 3/4" and the letters at 3 1/2"
Added some of those cute images I had on my haunted house - love it!

EDIT: once I cut the circles - I glued them with glue stick to the CD, punched a hole with my Crop-A-Dile. Strung them together with black lace ribbon from SU! and some orange ric rac I got at the thrift store.

HALLOWEEN using dominoes

I created this little table decoration tonight from a bag a Dominoes I got at a yard sale for 50 cents.

Cut the sentiment from Cricut Cartridge Plantin Schoolbook from white vinyl at 3/4".
Then applied another layer of Mod Podge and let it dry. I made another set and can be seen here.

Halloween Tissue box cover

Happy Halloween

I couldn't find a pattern for the small size tissue box cover.

I made the pattern myself. Cut a 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 square from desired CS

From that square - cut out a 5 x 5 corner from that piece of CS.

Make 2 Scores and do it again.

PS - for the grass and web (for the web I used the blast icon)

MC - for the fence and cat

GS - for Boo (just cut off the k and s letters off the books icon/image)

- tree

- clouds

The ghost is hand cut by loking at the PDDU hand book
