Happy Halloween, MME fans! Missy here. I just LOVE creating Halloween layouts, and I couldn’t wait to put the new Frightful collection to use! I created two layouts, and I’m sharing the both with you.
The first layout features my little one a few years ago at her school. She was Wonder Woman, and her little cape was all twisted. I just love it!
I started with some white cardstock and used a digital cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I backed all of the open spaces with various patterned papers. It was really easy and fun, and it makes the photos really pop in the center. I back my photos with a few more pieces of patterned paper and an awesome chipboard frame. The adorable pumpkin and glittery spider web are from the Mixed Bag! A total must have for a Halloween project.
Supplies: Frightful—“Spooky” paper, “Dots” paper, “Frightful Words” paper, 6x6 paper pad, Chipboard Elements, Mixed Bag, Decorative Brads, Sticker Embellishments; Necessities—Alpha & Word Stickers – Black & Gray, Decorative Tapes – Metallics; Other—cardstock, Silhouette Cameo, The Cut Shoppe digital cut file, Thickers, sewing machine, thread, black Sharpie pen.
Here you can really see the layering. The chipboard pieces are fantastic for layering. And so is the decorative tape! I pulled out the gold metallic tape from the Necessities line to give this page some sparkle! I love how easy it is to use.
Here I used one of the decorative brads and some of the small alpha stickers from Necessities. I wanted to split my title at the top and bottom of the layout, so I used those to spell out the “Crooked Cape” part.
My second layout features my older daughter at her school’s Fall Festival. She has a lot of sensory issues, so this type of function is not her thing. Her sweet teacher helped her walk around and play the different games at the event, and she wound up having a great time!
I started with the Frightful “Chandelier” Paper because of the gorgeous orange color. I used a square punch and punched out lots of squares from various papers to create a mosaic-type background.
I also added some gesso and modeling paste to throw in some texture. I only had to add minimal embellishments since the squares really did all the work here.
Supplies: Frightful—“Chandelier” paper, “Stache” paper, “Dots” paper, “Pumpkin” paper, “Zig Zag” paper, “Spooky” paper, “Frightful Words” paper, 6x6 paper pad, Enamel Shapes, Enamel Dots, Chipboard Elements, Sticker Embellishments, Mixed Bag, Decorative Brads; Other—Crafter’s Workshop stencil, Liquitex Gesso, Golden Modeling Paste, Silhouette Cameo, cardstock, sewing machine, thread, black Sharpie pen.
This die cut banner is my favorite piece in the Mixed Bag! I just had to add it below my title and “secure” it with some black enamel dots. Here you can also see the texture from the paste and how I layered the title.
Enamel bats! What! I fell in love with these instantly! They are SO adorable. I also used up some of the Sticker Embellishments and Chipboard pieces here. This line really is so fun and festive!
I hope these help get you into the Halloween spirit and inspire you to create something spooktacular! I love that you can create fun and cute projects with these and not have to get very scary at all. Lots of fun and possibilities!
Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Halloween!!
Missy
