Spook-tacular Blog Hop

Welcome to the SVG Attic-Pink & Main Spook-tacular blog hop!  We are so excited to have you join us today!

At each stop of the hop we hope you will be inspired by the creativity of the design teams of SVG Attic and Pink & Main. You are sure to find many wonderful projects that will be at the top of your crafting lists!

This is the first stop in the hop.

Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and this is the project I created for this stop:

 I used the wheelbarrow, pumpkins and hay bale files from SVG Attic's Fall Harvest Favor Boxes set.  For the jack-o-lantern faces, I use the Pumpkin patch SVG Collection and resized them to fit on the side of my pumpkins.

 The stamp set I used from Pink & Main is called Punkin.  It is full of adorable sentiments and small images such as the Oct. 31st banner, the crow on the wheelbarrow and the "hey punkin' " on the sign.

 To embellish my project, I used buttons, brads and Trendy Twine.

Now how about some blog hop prizes??

4x4 Pumpkins with Beth

Hello everyone!  This is Beth from Beth's Beauties with another project.  Fall is everywhere we look now.  The leaves are falling, the temperatures are cool and Halloween is right around the corner.  Today I have a project to share with you that has no paper on it whatsoever.  Crazy, right?  Don't worry, I was still able to use my Cricut on it, just not with paper :)  I have seen wooden pumpkins like these a lot.  In person, on the internet with several variations of course.  Here is my take on this popular fall decor.

 I cut 4x4's into three different heights and painted them with an outdoor orange paint.  I didn't know if I wanted them for indoors or outdoors, so I used elements that would be okay outside too.  Then I used a combination of brown, yellow and green paint to add the lines on to make them look more like pumpkins.  The dowel sticks that I used for the stems were a little over an inch in diameter and I used my hot glue gun to wrap them with twine.  I added leaves from a bunch of fake leaves I had in my stash along with some wired berries.  Large brown buttons and a bow of twine finished off each pumpkin.

 I made the sign out of a very thin board that just so happened to be in the garage calling my name for this project :)  The Happy Harvest was cut from tan, olive green, yellow and burgundy vinyl.  The cutting files for the words were from the Thankful Captions set by SVG Attic.  They were a perfect match for this project!

The embellishment on the sign is almost the same as on top of the pumpkins, except I added some brown, green, and yellow rumpled ribbon.  

Then I just couldn't help myself and had to see how they would look in Halloween mode...and they turned out cute that way too! 

 

I simply slipped the sign off of them and added black vinyl jack-o-lantern faces.  The faces are from the Pumpkin Patch SVG collection at SVG Attic.  The vinyl is removable and it will peel right off once Halloween is over.  I will put the sign back on and these will be gracing my house until Thanksgiving is over!

If you like the cuts on this project, head on over to SVG Attic and see what files they have!  Plus their files are 50% off for a limited time, so it is the perfect time to pick some up.  This is their newest kit, Winter Wishes.  Isn't it gorgeous?

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Fall Themed Cards with Beth

Hello everyone!  This is Beth from Beth's Beauties with two fall themed cards made with files from SVG Attic.  On my first card, the card base and scalloped layer (fence) are all from the Fall Celebration Kit.  I cut them at the imported size except for the scalloped border.  For that I kept the width the same, but stretched the length to 2.6" so it would resemble a picket fence.  I embossed it with a striped embossing folder and then inked it with tan chalk for a rustic look.

The pumpkins and crow are from the Pumpkin Patch SVG Collection.  Aren't they adorable??  I love the way the pumpkins and vines are grouped. I had a lot of fun using DCWV's Amber Autumn stack for the patterned papers on this card.

I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and simply hand cut the tag shape.  For the finishing details I added a square of burlap, three buttons matching the colors used in the card, and a bow of twine.

My second card has a fall feel to it, but it could easily be used as a card for a teacher as well with the lined background paper and the apples.  For this card, I used Authentique paper called Seasons Autumn.  The card base and scalloped layer are from the Fall Celebration Kit, as well as the wheat sheaf in on the left side.

The basket with apples is from the Apple Picking collection.  I finished the basket off with some twine.  The sentiment is also from the Apple Picking collection.  Both the sentiment and the bushel basket are popped up with foam tape.

If these cards get you in the fall/Halloween spirit, check out the latest SVG kit from SVG Attic, called Nevermore.
