How to make a Halloween Ghost with Glow-in-the-Dark Eyes.

I picked up this cute wooden ghost cutout at my local Dollar Tree.

I knew it would make a fun Halloween Decoration when added

with StyleTechCraft Glow in the Dark Vinyl.

Paint the Wood Ghost Cut-out* with White Acrylic Paint*.
I like to sand over the painted wood with an extra-fine grit sanding block* to smooth the grain.

My wood ghost was from Dollar Tree.

I cut a piece of StyleTechCraft Glow in the Dark Vinyl and taped it onto the back of the ghost with packing tape. (covering the holes)
I added small ovals in the eyes.

Here’s where things got a little tricky.

I planned to use black vinyl with an orange vinyl to offset the words.

Once I put the black vinyl letters onto the orange vinyl, I quickly realized that I didn’t like the way it looked on the white ghost. It actually stood out too much.
I recut the words “If you got it Haunt it” using dark gray vinyl instead and ditched the idea of the orange offset. (much better)

The fun little ghost would look cute in the middle of a wreath hanging from a door.

StyleTechCraft’s Glow in the Dark Vinyl, once it’s charged,

has an awesome green glow that lasts for about 6 hours.

How to make a Pumpkin Gift Box using the XL Card Caddy Die from Sizzix and Eileen Hull.

Directions:

Use the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Die-Cutting Machine*, a White Mat Board Sheet*, and the Sizzix XL Card Caddy Die by Eileen Hull* to create the base for the treat box.
Paint the base and sides of the box with Jack-o-lantern acrylic paint*. Once the paint is dry, add a few lighter highlights using the Orange Twist Acrylic Paint.
Use the ink applicator and Vintage Photo Distress Ink* to the edges of the box.
FYI, Vintage Photo Ink is my favorite go to ink to give something an aged look.

I created the Jack-o-Lantern face using StyleTechCraft Black Glossy Craft Vinyl* and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*.
Lay the Vinyl Transfer Tape* over the jack-o-lantern face. Rub over the Transfer Tape* with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the design from the white paper backing.
Lay the Transfer Tape* onto the treat box and rub over the design.
Remove the Transfer Tape*.

Adhere the sides to the card caddy base using Rapid Fuse Adhesive*. The Die comes with scored side pieces that are perfect for putting the box together. I wasn’t thinking and cut two pieces of matboard for my sides. Both will work. (the one that comes with the die would have been a lot easier)
