Jas here, it's my turn up on the blog today. I've steered away from my usual A6 card style today to show you something a little different. Party table accessories! As always you will find any product links at the end of my post.
Halloween is probably one of my favourite times of year and whilst this year is likely to be a little different celebration wise we are likely to still have some sort of social distance gathering. So when we were given these images by Sarah Kay they were just perfect to turn into accessories for a party table!
Starting with the images printed on alcohol marker friendly cardstock I coloured them using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends, I'm starting with this spooky treats cup! (Click on any Image to make it larger)
Straw, cup & eyes - Dark Red blend
Pumpkin - Orange and Citrus blends
Screws - Gold Brown blend
Hair & ears - Red Brown and Pale Pink blends
I fussy cut around the main image and stuck it along a crease of a cardstock, cut away the excess and then with the card open I fussy cut again from the crease around the image this time leaving a trim, folded the card again and fussy cut for a final time around the trim again to create this shaped card. I stuck a sentiment inside from the same image set by Sarah Kay as we are likely to serve coffee however you could use this as a menu card for any beverage you might be serving up, get creative with your own names or use one that is supplied 😊
Fussy cut break image breakdown and inside of card:
Next image in this set is in the shape of a tag that has a pumpkin image on, I coloured up 2 of these to start with however I will be making a fleet of these for the various snacks we will serve. Fussy cutting around the main images and using a small circle die I cut the holes in the top of the tag.
I pulled out some Candied Apple Distress ink and tapped some onto a perspex sheet, reacted with water and picked up small amounts with a paintbrush tapping it onto the tags to give a blood splatter look and then used some web type ribbon through the hole to finish the look, you can now label these with types of food or other things on the table so your guests know what your serving!
The final project I made with the spooky treats image set will be the sign I display next to a cake or even cupcakes maybe because who doesnt like a bit of cake! After colouring them up I took a small piece of plain cardstock and gave it some colour by splattering it with the same Candied Apple distress ink I used on the tags, placed 3 of the images along the front and took a sentiment I had in my stash that I got as a freebie at some point and it seemed fun, I love cherries personally so if I get my way at Halloween we will have something cherry flavoured!
