Halloween Party Decor - Imaginisce

Hello blogging friends,

I love decorating my house for Halloween... and if you're going to all that trouble you might as well throw a Halloween party, right! Truth is, I just like having a few friends over. 

This year I wanted to try printing on burlap to create a unique home decor piece. I found this digital file by Kolette Hall in the Silhouette Store. This was actually much easier than I thought it was going to be. You can be sure that I will be creating one for Thanksgiving and Christmas now too. I decided to decorate my frame with rosettes. These are quick and easy to make with the Imaginisce i-Bond cordless glue gun. I wasn't sure how many rosettes I wanted, or what size either. So I made several different sizes from black and white pattern papers I found in the Happy Traveler collection. I decorated my rosettes with die cut numbers "31" and puffy stickers. Don't worry, those extra rosettes will be used to adorn some cupcakes.

 

I love my cordless i-Bond Glue Gun. It's low temp, so I don't have to worry so much about burning myself. It dries really fast... which is good when making rosettes, you don't have to hold them in place very long.

Here are a few detail pictures...

These yummy cupcakes are from my local Nadia cupcakes.... she is a cupcake wars winner!

Turkey Day Table Decor with Imaginisce

Hello blogging friends. I have a fabulous project today to share with you that I created with my Imaginisce Bushel O' Fall papers. I love decorating for a party! These turkeys are going to look great on my Thanksgiving tables. The Imaginisce Bushel O' Fall pattern papers were a perfect choice. I love those yellow, orange, and reds mixed with a touch of teal blue. 

The inspiration for these came from a Minnesota scrapbook store in Pine City.  I saw some of these rosette turkeys while on a girl's outing last Spring and thought to myself... I need to make something similar to that! Here is the Pine City Scrapbook Store version ....

Here are some close-ups of my turkeys ....

These turkeys were easy to make. I created 3 rosettes using 1", 1.25", and 1.5" strips of pattern papers. I used my i-Top punches to cover the middle of the rosette, so it still looks like turkey feathers. Use a small in the front and a large one in the back to cover the hole in the middle. You want them to look nice from a back view too. 

WARNING .... Making these is addictive..... 

Supplies:

Imaginisce : Pattern Papers (Bushel O'Fall), i-Top, small, large punches, i-Bond Hot Glue Gun
