Trick or Treat Layout
Designer: Cheri Wenger
Supplies:
Glue Arts Extreme Mini Adhesive Squares and the Glue Glider™ Pro with High Tac & repositionable adhesive cartridges
Cardstock Kit: (Echo Park) Happy Halloween Collection
Papers used: Happy Haunting (reverse side green diamonds); Haunted House; Magic Stripes; Spooky Dots (reverse side multi colored polka dots) and Halloween Border Strip
Other Kit items used: Element and Alpha Stickers
Solid Cardstock: (Stampin’ Up!®) Whisper White and (The Paper Company) Pumpkin solid from Naturals Fashion Color Asstmt.
Cutting Tools: (fiskars)_ Paper Trimmer and scissors
Markers: Black sharpie marker
Embellishments: (Lion Brand Yarn) Black Fun Fur
Instructions:
1. Trim 12 x 12 Large polka dot cardstock (CS) 1-1/2" from outer edges to create a frame. Remove middle for use on other project. This not only conserves paper, but will also lessen the thickness and bulkiness of your layout.
2. Trim striped CS to 11" w x 11-1/8" h. Using your Glue Glider™ Pro (Pro) apply high tac adhesive around back edges as well as to the edges surrounding the window opening of the polka dot frame. Layer your striped CS on top of frame using same adhesive.
3. Cut 9-3/8" square from green diamond patterned CS (reverse side of Happy Haunting 12 x 12 cardstock. This will leave you with the scallop edge paper for use on another layout. Using your Pro, add this layer 1" down from top of striped CS.
4. Trim mat on bordered photo or mount your photo onto white CS and attach to top left hand corner of green patterned paper (PP). Using elements from the Alpha and Element Sticker sheets, attach Trick-or-Treat title, Haunted House, bat and letters spelling "our house 2009" (or the year that you are working on).
5. Trim a row of 12 houses from the Haunted House sheet using any of the colors you like. Mount 1/8" from bottom left hand corner of green PP.
6. Cut orange polka dot strip from border strip sheet and flip over to reveal purple diagonal stripe pattern. Attach vertically to right of green PP using Pro and high tac.
7. Place 2 x 3" print to align with bottom of striped CS and right edge of purple strip. DO NOT GLUE DOWN YET! Attach spider on top of photo hanging of right edge. Draw black line off edge of photo and up the purple strip to make it look like the spider is dangling down the page. Remove photo, apply adhesive to back and attach to layout. Add Oct. 31st circle sticker to top of strip by haunted house.
8. Use your graphics program or word processing program to layout journaling text no wider than 6-3/4" x 1-3/4". I used the font Scribish and added extra spaces between each word so I would have space to slice between the words (as shown).
TIP: CREATING HIGHLIGHTED TEXT IN A FLASH
To create journaling in multiple colors so that some words look highlighted, set up text and rotate vertically. I usually duplicate it again for each color in case I make a cutting error. Repeat these two on the right side of your sheet or bottom of your sheet, if not rotating. Cut your cardstock in half and using your repositionable cartridge, attach the colored CS on top of the white. Place this in the sheet feeder of your printer when printing out your journaling. Remove colored CS from white sheet and rub adhesive off back side with your fingers and toss it out. Trim journaling into 3 strips as even as possible using your paper trimmer. Do this for each color. Cut apart the words.
9. Position journaling on your layout and swap out white words for colored words you want to accent. Permanently attach by removing one word at a time and adding extreme micro adhesive squares to the back. Attach type to layout until journaling is complete. Note: you will have to add in an apostrophe to the word don't by hand.
10. Remove adhesive spider web sticker from sheet and trim at a 90 degree angle and attach to left hand corner of top photo as shown.
11. Bend 15 inch piece of fun into thirds and knot into a bow. Cut ends and bended corners off. Attach rolled mini adhesive squares to back side of knot and attach slightly above spider web for fuzzy texture and to create a faux spider effect.
Have fun duplicating this easy to create Halloween layout!
