Guest Designer at Cutting Up With Class

Today, I am so excited to be a Guest Designer over at Cutting Up With Class.  If you are not familiar with this blog, it is a new challenge blog that uses SVGs for the weekly challenges.  They have a new challenge every Tuesday.  Be sure to stop by and check them out here: http://www.cuttinupwithclass.blogspot.com/.

I wanted to make a new project using one of the Cut Files from the site.  A few week's ago, the challenge was to use these wonderful leaf files.  The files have some great layers, but I only used the base shape for my project.  I also used the Gypsy Font to cut the letters.  Here is my Fall Table Sign.

To make this sign, I began by using a table sign that I bought on Clearance at Hobby Lobby for $2.  (They had two of these, so I got them both.)

I first used white spray paint as a primer over the words and then coated the entire sign with Metallic Gold Spray Paint.

Now, I was ready to decorate the sign.  I cut multiple leaves with the Cutting Up With Class Cut File using a combination of glitter and pearlescent papers and hot glued them around the frame.  Then, I used Gypsy Font to cut the letters out of brown vinyl and applied them to the sign to finish it off.
