Moonlight Blog Hop: Boo photo cubes

Thank you for joining us on our “Take a Walk in the Moonlight” Blog Hop.  We have a fabulous path for you to follow as you take your walk in the moonlight with us as we feature Close to My Heart’s Moonlight paper pack.


If you just happened to come to this blog, you should begin your walk at the  beginning at Lucy's blog - http://www.love2createitall.com.

If you came from Joanne's Blog: Josie's Joy , you're in the right place!

My project is altered photo cubes:

These started out as unaltered photo cubes that I had in my stash.  They were purchase from Oriental Trading Company.  I think I paid $1.25 for each of them.

Step One:  I inked all edges in Black ink.  I used CTMH black Pigment ink and set them aside to dry

Step Two. I cut CTMH's Moonlight B&T in 2.75 inch squares and used Mod Podge to apply the paper to the sides and top

Step Three:  I cut rosettes at 1.5 inches in GoldRush Card Stock using CTMH's Artiste cartridge.

Step Four.  Boo was cut using Artiste as well.  This whole word is on one key in the Halloween suite.  It is cut 2.5 inches.  I applied Opaque Adhesive gems to accent each letter.

Step Five:  I layered the rosettes and letters and then adhered them to the blocks.

I'd like to add some black tule around the wire picture holder's but I am waiting for my next order to arrive :)

Here is a front view of my blocks:

  My project is an altered wine carrier.
  
  I will be the first to admit that I know very little about wine.  In fact, I chose this wine simply because the orange lids were PERFECT for CTMH's Moonlight paper.
  
  

  

  The wine bottle wraps are cut at 2 inches from the cut found on

  Page 78  Card <shift>

  
  

  The sentiments came for a stamp set called Perfect Fit Halloween and were stamped on Page 33 Accent 3 <no shift>  cut at 1.5 inches

  
  

  
  

  
  

  

  
   Close up...
  
  I create this embellishement using the same cut found on page 33 .  The black layer was cut at 3 inches while the B&T was cut at 2.75 inches
  
  The sticker are called Glamour Glitter Alphabet  and the ghost is from the Creepy Critters stamp set.
