You’re Invited! Introducing the Halloween Cut File Bundle

Sep 01

*Affiliate links are used in this post. This is at no extra cost to you and as always, I only share items I truly love. Check out my full disclosure here.

Is it too early for Halloween? NAH! I’m so excited for today’s post. Not just because it was super fun to make (or because it marks my starting on all things fall!) but because I get to share a really exciting monthly project I’ve been working on with some rad bloggers.

Halloween Fresh Cuts SVG Bundle- available only for September!

I’m partnering with 9 other blogger/designers to offer a bundle of SVG (Cut Files) at a discounted rate and this month the theme is Halloween. It’s only going to be available for this month and then it’s gone for good! So you get 10 rad Halloween themed files for $9.99 and can I just say how. many. things. you can make with them!?

You can find the bundle right here.

UPDATE: This bundle was only available for September 2017 BUT you still can grab just my file in Cori’s store RIGHT HERE.

But today I wanted to not only share my design with you but share how I used it to make these gorgeous aged copper foil invitations. I had the toughest time photographing these because they looked so much better in person! The shine and texture of the copper foil is so beautiful, it’s hard to translate that in a photo. Ready to see the how-to?

The first thing you’ll need to do is take your file and cut it out. I tested out my new Cricut Maker on this cut and was SO pleased with how clean all the intricate cuts were! I used the Cricut brand cardstock for this one. I shared all my tips for weeding intricate cuts in this post here– but basically the light grip mat and Spatula is your best friend! Make sure to bend the mat back instead of bending your cardstock.

When that’s done, cut another piece of cardstock for the backing of the invitation- a flat/no texture one is best for this piece. That will be the one you apply your foil to and write your details on the back of. At this point… the cut out is pretty rad as is. You could totally send this solo with a note holding the details or use a white or orange backing. I wanted to make it a bit more special so pulled out my Deco Foils! If you haven’t used them before… they’re so much fun to play with! I have made a ton of projects using them and really love how easy they are to work with. I’ve linked all the products so you can jump over and read about them if my instructions are confusing without the context.

I used one of my favourite metallics- Copper, but you could also use a brighter orange. This one is called Mango, but I have it and it’s just a nice bright orange- perfect for halloween! There are SO many ways you could transfer your Deco Foils but I wanted to try something new for an antiqued spooky look so took some time playing with a new Mixed Media Medium and crumpling the foil. I totally LOVE how it turned out and can’t wait to try it on a sign. I applied the Mixed Media Medium with a brush and let it start to dry. It will go clear instead of that blue colour and be tacky to the touch. You need to apply it fairly quickly so it dries evenly. Crumple your foil, then smooth it out (colour side up) and press it down really well with your fingers. Peel it back to reveal your crinkly aged copper masterpiece! If you miss some spots (the medium dries too quickly or maybe it was still wet) you can use another section of your foil and press it down again to fill the spaces.

Then you can go ahead and use some of the medium to affix the cutout to the copper backing! That’s IT. I used a white jelly roller pen to add details on the back.

Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ry Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
