Boo! Halloween Shadowbox

10/5/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody, I hope you’re having a fabulous day! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a Halloween shadowbox. The actual shadowbox portion was cut with my Cricut in addition to the layered panels that make up the scene! So stinkin’ fun! I literally have thousands of SVG cut files (almost 13,000 to be exact) and I’ve been trying to pick random ones that I’ve never made before. This Halloween shadowbox is one in a bundle from Lori Whitlock and features our Brick Orange, Flame Orange, Sunset Orange and Pitch Black (all from the Lessebo line), along with our Basis Gray and Cougar Smooth White cardstock.

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Lori Whitlock’s 8×8 Halloween Shadowbox SVG cut file, I cut the shadowbox pieces and the ghost layer from 12×12 Cougar Smooth 100# White. Next I cut the two black layers from Lessebo Pitch Black, the gray layer from Basis Gray, and the orange layers from Lessebo Brick Orange, Lessebo Flame Orange and Lessebo Sunset Orange.

I used Scrapbook.com double-sided adhesive foam squares for a little dimension between the layers. I die cut the BOO! sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Boo To You Framelits from a scrap piece of the Cougar Smooth White cardstock. The final touch was adding strips of Basis Gray around the opening and Keep It Simple Back To Basics Mango Enamel Dots along the mitered edge in each corner. I am totally in love with this project and will soon be making the other two shadowboxes in the bundle! ;)
