By the Pricking of my Thumbs Shadow Box Tutorial

I am so excited about my new Wicked Ways font that I decided to have some more Halloween fun! Below you will find my tutorial for the “By the Pricking of My Thumbs’ shadow box!

Supplies Needed

- Shadow Box of choice

- Cardstock or Vinyl for lettering

- Silhouette Machine

- “By the pricking of my thumbs” quote by Rivka’s Renditions (you can purchase this shape HERE)

- Clear Glue (if using cardstock) or Transfer paper (if using Vinyl)

- Hay for Shadow Box

Step 1: Download ‘By the pricking of thumbs’ quote by Rivka’s Renditions. You can purchase this shape from my SilhouetteDesign Store.

Step 2: Open the shape in your Silhouette Studio and size it to fit your frame. Set up your silhouette with paper/vinyl and cut out the quote. I chose to use 2 different colors to give it some more dimension and flare.

Step 3: Make sure the glass of your shadow box is clean.

Step 4a: If using Cardstock pull up the negative space from cutting out the quote and place it on the glass where you will want the quote. This is a great ‘Trick-or-Treat’ for those using paper. Use the negative space as a template to place your letters so that they are evenly spaced and lined up!

**Make sure to use a CLEAR glue so that you don’t end up with color streaks on the glass.

Step 4b: If using Vinyl, take your Transfer Paper and pick up the vinyl lettering. I love Transfer Paper because it makes it so easy to line up your lettering just right!

Step 5: Fill your shadow box with the background of choice. In this project I chose to use some fake hay from the craft store.

And voila! You have your own Halloween shadow box! I hope you have as much fun with this project as I did. Don’t forget to check out my other Halloween tutorials HERE!

Thanks for joining me in the Spooky Fun!

Monogram Key strokes

Hey everyone! This is only for this basic style monograms shown. For all the other styles please use lowercase, uppercase, lowercase. I am going to be doing a series of monogram fonts that will make customizing your own monogram super easy. The font is already set up to place the letters within the design. All you have to do is refer to the chart below in order to place the letters in the correct sequence. In order to make this font work I had to replace numbers and some punctuation with the last letter of the monogram. I hope you enjoy them and it makes your life easier. First Letter: Uppercase letters (use the keys A-Z with the shift key or caps lock) Second Letter: Lowercase letters (use the keys a-z) Third Letter: A= 0 B= 1 C= 2 D= 3 E= 4 F= 5 G= 6 H= 7 I= 8 J= 9 K= !
