Halloween Banner

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project features a digital paper from Blank Page Muse, Creepy Cute Halloween Digital Papers. The digital papers and ephemera included in this digital set are Halloween themed but some of the images in this set can be used all year long. 

I am using the tag from the set. After I downloaded the ephemera sheet, I cropped the tag that I am using to remove the rest of the ephemera included in the sheet. I am a thrifty crafter so I try to max out the number of tags I can fit in an 8.5" x 11" light weight cardstock. After resizing the tag, I was able to fit 8 tags in a sheet. I trimmed each tag. Since the paper I used for printing is light weight, I adhered a black cardstock to the back of each tag. I placed something heavy on top of these tags while it dries so it will dry flat.

Once the tags are dry, I die cut each tag using a tag die from The Stamp Market. I added a hole reinforcer which I die cut from the excess digital paper. The reinforcer die came from the tag die set. I adhered the hole reinforcer to the top of the tag. 

For the letters, I die cut an orange cardstock using the Spellbinders Stitched Alphabet dies. I spelled out 'Happy Halloween.' I stitched black DMC embroidery floss on the stitching holes of each letter. 

To put the tag together, I added foam adhesive to the back of each letter. Before adhering the letter to the tag, I added a looped metallic floss in between the letter and the tag. I reinforced some of the foam tape with glue if they are not adhering too well to the tag.

I added halloween icon sequins for some embellishment. 




I used a Halloween themed clothespin from my stash to clip the tags to a Halloween themed twine (also from my stash). I temporarily taped this to my door for photo purposes but this banner is displayed on our living room window, on top of our pumpkin decors. As much as I love to show how my window display looks, the glare of the sun proved to be a challenge to get a good photo of it. 



I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
