I absolutely LOVE Halloween decorating! Now, what could be more perfect than creating a Halloween project using Helmar Adhesives, The Robin's Nest Dew Drops, Maya Road ribbon and Nikki Sivils paper and chipboard album??? NOTHING ;) Here is my SpoOoOoOoky banner that I made for Family Friday at Crazy About Cricut:
For projects like this, I love using the 450 Quick Dry because I want my glue to dry fast so I can still handle my project and adhere other items to it instead of waiting for the adhesive to dry! So, all of the paper and embellishments were adhered with the 450. All the letters are popped up with 1/2" White Zapdots.
Now let me tell you my favorite part of the banner.... the fact that I used V2 Vellum Adhesive to candy coat part of the letters!!! I've explained how to candy coat a few times before, but this time I put a bit of a twist on it. I am all about multipurpose, multitasking, killing 2 birds with one stone... Well, my Cricut mat needed to be sprayed... plus I needed to spray my shadow part of my letters. So, I sprayed the letters on the mat:
Then I add the letters to the shadow:
Then, I added glitter to these and the glitter only stuck to the orange part of the letter! I did another set of letters using Nikki Sivils paper for the shadow as well that I used on the actual project. These were a bit too small.
