A Very Halloween Layout with the Masquerade Collection

Since yesterday was the hottest day of the year where I am, I spent part of the day dreaming of crisp Fall days, pumpkins, and Halloweens of yesteryear. I really wanted to use some of the fabulous NEW Masquerade Collection.

I started with a fun cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. I really liked this one as I could add in a bunch of different patterned papers from both the 12x12" Collection Kit and the 6x6" Bundle.

 

Each of the shapes that spell out Halloween are backed with various patterns. I followed a great tutorial from Paige Evans on how to create cut files for backing cut files.

I used pieces from the 12x12 Elements die cuts to create some fun interest and details. Some of them are popped up with dimensional adhesive.

The clean, white outline creates some spaces that stand out from the polka dotted background of Masquerade Eight. My favorite section is the plaid pumpkin that showcases Masquerade One.

I just loved this fun layout. It was too fun piecing it all together.

I also created this fun card using some of the scraps from the layout. I loved the stacked pumpkins cut file from Foxsister. I cut that and layered it with one of the cutaparts from Masquerade Seven. A few of the leftever Elements die cuts also managed to add more interest to this card.
