Show 'N Tell-The Witch is in

I just had to show off this beauty, my friend made with the Witch is in Vinyl

I love the addition of the inked edges.  If you missed the original post and want directions on how we did it, HERE it is.  She just inked her scrapbook 

paper before she modge podged it on!! I'll totally be doing that on my next one!!

I think it's so rustic, just had to share it with you!

12x12= $6.00 +$3.00 s&h or 

if you're in Idaho Falls, Idaho areas you can make arrangements to pick up your order.

The Witch is in

So life has been extremely busy lately.  Not only did we add a (2nd) baby girl to our family a little less than 4 months ago, but we're trying to sell our house and move a little bit north closer to my full-time job that I started a few weeks ago.
Crazy crazy decision going around our place.  But I did have a friend that is in charge of a Super Saturday for her ward and I've been able to play around with some more vinyl projects. And since I can get a little stressed out my husband probably thinks this saying is appropriate.
I wanted to start with this one since we're coming upon Halloween in no time flat.  And Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays.  So she found a cute witch silhouette that she loved and I recreated it with a few additions.
I also needed a gift for BUNCO night with the girls.  And so this is what I used "the witch is in" vinyl.

Really simple to do.  I had extra ceramic tiles at home.  So I chose to use one of those, and they are cheap when on sale.  I just Mod Podged the first 12x12 (cut to fit perfectly) down and let dry.  Then I centered the green 6x6 in scrap in the center and just covered it in Mod Podge and let dry.  And I just topped it off with the vinyl and smoothed.  Probably the fastest project I've done for a while

These two were completed by Lacey for her Super Saturday examples.  These are boards painted, let dry, and then apply the vinyl.  That witch silhouette is just itching for a glass cookie jar to hold all that trick-or-treating candy. 

Here are some prices for you

Witch Silhouette

I know it's past Halloween, but it's one of my favorite of the year.  So I had to just quickly share my witch silhouette tin that I made (with a tutorial)! My tin is 18 inches round and the vinyl for this size would be $16.00!

Things you need:

Bottle cap tin.(OR for a cheaper alternative...I saw those tin covers for older electric ranges at the                dollar store.  They wouldn't have your cute ruffled edge or the hanger, but it would be MUCH cheaper.  I think I paid $12 dollars for the tin alone.)

Paper of desired color/pattern/texture (I used a 12x12)

Scissors or fancy circle cutter

Ruler

Craft Paint to coordinate/match paper

Paint brush or foam brush

Mod Podge any finish

Vinyl- Let me know what size you need cause I can change the size without too much difficulty

Craft ink pad

Distressing ink pad

1. Take craft paint and brush on tin around the edge. (You can see below)  I chose only to do the edge, cause I was covering mine with the paper.  Let dry well before you put on the craft pad ink that is shown below.

2. I then marked the centers on my paper and measure 6 inches out to all the sides of my 12x12 and then just free handed the rest of the circle from those guides.  Then cut out with scissors.

Just wanted to show my pattern and the texture of what I picked.  Yellow-Orange with lighter yellow polka dots.  Cause I love Polka dots.
If you really want exactness with your circle then you can use a fancy circle cutter, which I have one, but I preferred the more rough look, since I decided to distress the finished project.

3. So after the craft pain has dried, then I took my craft ink pad and placed it on the edge of my tin and also on my paper edge

4.  After letting the craft ink dry for a little bit, I took my distressing ink and did the same on all the same surfaces, letting the orange ink remain a little thicker than the distressing ink.  (I suggest using an old distressing pad if you have one, cause you can get some of the craft ink on your distressing pad, but mine wiped of fairly well).

5. Then I took a tissue and then buffed the area, (Smeared the area) for a more uniform look and a less blunt look on the tin.  Then it looked more aged.

6. Then I took the dried tin and the foam brush and covered the entire tin front with Mod Podge.  (Now I'm fairly new to Mod Podge and I don't have the greatest tips on its usage, but I was told if you go thinner below the paper and thicker above then it has less bumps.  But I still had some small bumps, so I'm not sure the best application... Anyone help me here?)  

7.Then I put the paper on the Mod Podge and I'm thinking that I'll use my squeegee (for applying vinyl) to make sure the Mod Podge gets totally smoothed out next time. I also hear that if you let that layer totally dry before applying the top coat it helps.  I guess you could sit and watch and make sure your paper doesn't bubble til it's dry.

 8. Then apply another coat over the top of the paper and let dry.  I used a gloss Mod Podge, cause that's what I had on hand, but I think that if I had used a matte finish that the vinyl application would have been a little easier.  Let dry completely.

9. I then marked the center of the vinyl image as above using my acrylic see through ruler.   So I could make it centered.  I then made small marks on the outside of the tin at the 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock and lined those up with my markings on the transfer paper. The ironic thing is.  I ended up putting it on upside down :( So then I took the opportunity to cut a new one with a thicker complete circle around it. Unlike the one below.  It was hard to keep that outside in the circle shape cause it didn't stick well.

10. then take off the transfer tape carefully to make sure the vinyl stays  where you want it.  Like I said it would be easier if you use matte finish.  It was kind of a slick surface.  Then spray with a clear cover to protect the paint on the sides from chipping off it you'd like.

The other reason I cut another one is cause the vinyl circle wasn't complete around it.  I didn't love it.  But I also took this picture so you can see the texture and the fine details of the finished project.

So the finished product with some of last years Halloween projects.  Hope you enjoyed this.  It was easy enough that I might have to come up with something for Thanksgiving and Christmas to do some more!!  

Halloween and Spiders!

So I love to celebrate Halloween!  And I always get a creative juices flowing around this time to spruce up the house with festive item for the next few months.

In my new house I have a storm door that has a large glass window that was crying out to be decorated, so I created this to make it in season!! I placed it on the inside of my window to have more protection from the natural elements.

Just in case you can't see the top well in the above picture.

$35.00 - 20 x64 inch 

So this fits, my window of about 20 inches wide by 64 in length, but is totally versatile, because you can make the spider's spinner?(Is that what it's called) the length that you want.  The  spinner comes in 2 sections and you can always cut one or the other to make the length that you want.  It does require putting it up in pieces, which makes it easier to place, and also keeps the price down too.

If you have a different place you'd like to place it....I can resize and give you a quote before you order.  

Shipping is $5.00 since it'll need to come in a tube. But $5.00 for all shipping so order as much as you'd like.
