Last week, I gave you Christmas in July. Well, today is July 31st and we are going to celebrate Halloween in July! I have another WorldWin Papers project to share today. I created this for the WorldWin Summer CHA booth, for display last last week in Las Vegas.
Is this the cutest little boo banner ever?! (It was really hard to photograph! My ghosts are sort of....ghostlike!) Each little banner is about 4 inches long. This is just a little home decor piece that you could hang on a door.
I created the "Os" out of paper rosettes, rather than letters. They were so fun to make! Let's take a closer peeky at each banner.
I created the base of the banner from ColorMates Royal Purple and Petallics Black Ore cardstock, using a banner die template. I added a banner of printed paper and also covered the chipboard "B" with paper (Graphic 45). The rosette is made from the Royal Purple cardstock.
The ghosts are cut from Translucent Vellum (White Plaid) using a very old Sizzix die. I have had that ghost die in my stash for over 10 years! Still works and cut the vellum like butter!
For the "O" I created a large paper rosette from Petallics Black Ore cardstock, then attached a chipboard clock to the top. I cut the clock hands from Black Ore as well.
I love the dimension, and the shimmer of the Black Ore cardstock is perfect for this project! The Petallics cardstock is cover weight and so great to work with!
For the second "O" I created a double rosette out of Black Ore and Royal Purple cardstock. I added another vellum ghostie!
One of my DT pals asked me how I got my rosettes to stay flat. Well, I just glue a circle of paper over the front and back center, and ta da. I use a fast drying glue. One of the other gals uses hot glue. But hot glue and I don't get along well, so I used white glue! I do NOT recommend glue dots as they tend to lift off and the rosettes pop up, especially if you are working with cover-weight cardstock!
It was pretty interesting creating Halloween projects in July, especially since I had just finished creating some Christmas cards! I had AC cranked and was a happy camper, crafting away! Thanks for looking!
I hope you have a chance to check out all that WorldWin Papers has to offer!
