Halloween Frame

Today I have an awesome way to use Stampin' Up!s Decor Elements to show you. Decor Elements are our vinyl wall clings. And I admit I haven't really used them much. However, I saw another demonstrator use them on paper and fell in love! Since they are pretty much like a giant rub-on, why not use them on paper? So, I saw this project posted here, and had to make one myself! (She has a video tutorial posted as well, so you can see exactly how this is done.)

To make this, I simply cut a piece of the Cast-a-Spell Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 8"x10". Then I took the small Spooky Brocade decor element and cut out the bat from the center. I applied the bat to a piece of Perfect Plum card stock and cut it out. Then I attached that to a piece of Old Olive cardstock and cut it out. Next I applied the rest of the Decor Element to my paper, trying my best to center it on the page. I then stuck the bat back in the middle using Stampin' Dimensionals. At the bottom I adhered a piece of Basic Black card stock and a small strip of one of the other designs of the Cast-a-Spell DSP. I distressed both pieces and sponged black ink on the DSP. I then took the Oct 31 from the Spooky Treats rub-ons set and applied that to Old Olive card stock and punched it out using my Wide Oval punch. I then cut out the flourishes from the Spooky Treats rub-ons as well and applied those directly to my base paper. Then I stuck on my Oct 31 piece using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few black brads at the bottom.

Now, because I wanted to use this a Halloween decoration, I framed it in an 8x10 frame and hung it on the wall. What do you think?

The great thing about this project is that I can swap out the picture for each season! If I were to just apply the Decor Elements directly to my wall, I would have had to remove it after the holiday and wouldn't have been able to reuse it. So, I plan on creating another page for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. This was so easy to do, everyone must try it!
