I used my Gypsy, my Cricut and several different cartridges to create a fun cheater Halloween costume idea. I cut shapes out of different colored card stock and attached them to wooden BBQ skewer sticks with glue. They will sit in the vase for party goers to pick up, hold up to their faces and play a character. This is a great thing to have around at your Halloween party for those cheaters who think they are going to get out of wearing a costume. Ha – we’ve got that covered!
Here are where each of the cuts came from.
Mustache: Bump in the Night Cartridge
Glasses: Forever Young Cartridge
Kissing Lips: Love Struck Cartridge
Bow Tie: Paper Doll Dress-up Cartridge
Jack-O-Lantern Mouth: October 31st Cartridge
Vampire Teeth: Pumpkin Carving Cartridge

I love Halloween. I always have and I think it is because it doesn’t require stressful family time, it is all about dressing up and acting like a character. Orange is also my favorite color so that gives and edge to the holiday for me. I am going to start posting several new Halloween projects but I thought I’d take a minute to kick off the 2011 season by revisiting Halloween projects from last year. Click HERE to see some great ideas from 2010.

This week I took a boring, old, white mirror and treated it with silver leaf, mounted it to the wall and the painted a silver boarder around the outside. To finish it off I used my Cricut to cut Bazzill Basics Gun Powder Grey Glitter Paper shapes using the Accent Essentials Cartridge. I then attached the shapes to the silver painted frame on the wall with Aleene’s Tacky Tape.

I had a stretched out, plain, pink t-shirt that I decided to give a re-style to. I cut the shirt up the front and pulled it in together to “tighten up” the shirt and then sewed it back together.
I cut a piece of pink patterned fabric and ironed it into a pocket shape. I cut a squirrel on my Cricut using the Create A Critter Cartridge out of black construction paper and used that to burn a screen on my YUDU. I then screen printed the squirrel onto canvas in pink ink on the YUDU. I ironed it to the pocket using Heat-n-Bond and then sewed the squirrel pocket to the t-shirt.
Now I have a re-styled, new feeling t-shirt in pink to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month.
