Today I have used the It's Cracked digital paper by Lozzy at A Bit More Time To Craft to make some Halloween goodies. This digital paper set comes in eighteen, yes, 18 different colours and they're perfect for cardmaking, scrapbooking and off-the-page projects, like I have created today. If you're a lucky challenge winner, you could include this set as one of your Paper Picks. On a side note, there are two colours from this design available as a freebie on the Freebie Tab.
I started by opening the It's Cracked digital paper and the cut files that I needed to create the sign, coffins and bowl in Silhouette Studio. I sized the everything so that I could fit the digital patterned paper elements on A4 sheets of cardstock and still be within the Cameo cut border. Full details and links to the cut files are listed below.
Let's start with the sign. I sized the "trick or treat" art panel to fit on the A4 patterned paper panel and printed it on A4 textured cardstock. The textured cardstock works perfectly with the It's Cracked digital paper, as it looks like cracked, weathered stone in real life, perfect for Halloween. I adhered a layer of black cardstock to the back of the sign to make it sturdier. The sign is 8 1/8" wide and 10 3/4" tall.
I added an easel to the back of the sign. I enlarged easel the cut file from the original size to be 7 1/2" square, giving plenty of support for the sign. This easel mechanism folds out to make a secure stand for the sign and folds flat for easy storage too.
Next comes the coffin treat boxes. These are a fun design made even better with the contrasting It's Cracked digital paper. I kept this file in the original size because it was already quite large and three of the coffin top matting layers fitted perfectly for printing and cutting on A4 sheets of cardstock.
The coffins are 7 1/8" x 4", they come with two compartments and are quite sturdy too.
I thought these would be pretty popular with some of the Trick Or Treaters
who usually visit, so I have already made nine, with more to come.
Lucky last comes the bowl. I kept this file in the original size because it was already quite large. I had to print and cut two A4 sheets for the contrasting It's Cracked digital paper matting layers. They make the bowl look like it's carved from weathered stone, making a matching set with the sign and coffin treats. The bowl is 7" across from flat side to flat side and 8" across from point to point. I added a hexagon to line the inside of the bowl and cover the tabs where the sides adhered to the base.
It might only be made from cardstock but it's a very sturdy bowl.
I can't wait to set these up on the Halloween table to welcome all the little
(and not so little) Trick Or Treaters who come visit each year.
