Home Decor Boo Sign

I decided to make this chipboard Boo sign using chipboard letters from Hobby Lobby and the matching Cricut Chip Decor cartridge.   The Cricut Chip Decor cartridge was made specifically for cutting out papers to adhere to the chipboard letters available at Hobby Lobby.  I used the Teresa Collins Halloween paper pack I got at Hobby Lobby at the same time and the Cricut Teresa Collins Chic and Scary cartridge.  It's been a Teresa Collins couple of weeks for me - I just LOVE her designs!

The paper letters were cut at 8" and fit nicely on the chipboard letters.  I inked the edges of the paper and the edges of the letters.  I used ink for the chipboard letters since I couldn't find my black paint.  It worked just fine but was a bit messy.  I had to use a black sharpie to get into the corner tight spaces on the B, but that worked also.

Then, I decided to add just a bit of interest to the letters with some of the images from the Cricut Teresa Collins Chic and Scary cartridge.  I welded one of the spiders to the web on the cartridge and cut that out at 7-1/4" and adhered it.  I also cut the pumpkin twice at 2-1/2"- one time with the mouth and eyes using orange glitter paper and then I used the "hide selected contour" feature on the Cricut Craft Room to make a solid layer behind the pumpkin.

Finally, I loved the ominous raven and wondered how to adhere him to the "O".  The easiest thing to do was use of the Close To My Heart Flip Flap plastic sleeves, tuck the raven into it and then use tape to adhere it to the back of the "O".  

Since I didn't Mod Podge the letters, I would only use this inside.  If you did Mod Podge, you could probably risk this outside.  The web is delicate but it would probably be fine on the front door, out of the weather.
