Retro Kitty Cat Mini Halloween Bunting by Lora Mahaffey
There is something so charming about bygone Halloween images. I love all of them, but I especially like the cats. They are cute as can be, but I like that some of them are a little mischievous and edgy. And maybe a wee bit scritchy-scratchy. It’s wise to give cats a wide birth on Halloween. Even the cute ones!
Here is a cute (and scratchy) Halloween Bunting complete with sweet little black bows and of course, sparkly green bats!
This was a fun, easy project that I enjoyed putting together. Lots of bold color and good contrast. It’s small, but they pack a colorful punch!
I began with three kinds of chipboard ATC card sets. I used the frames as a template to cut my papers from the Bewitched 6×6 Paper Pad and cut out my kitty images from Halloween Clock Spinners Collage Sheet. I painted all the frames black…

Day of the Dead Banner by Miz Bella (Kim Ayers)
Remember the Mini Pinata Ornament that Bella made a few weeks ago? Well, it’s now the centerpiece of a festive (and quick!) new project:
I started decorating my house for Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos and decided that the Mini Pinata I made a couple of weeks ago needed to somehow be incorporated into a banner! Of course I have no patience and wanted something quick, and this was whipped out in less than an hour!
To make the Papel Picado flags I used the supercalifragilousinexpialidociously cute Thinlits Die Set – Banners Papel Picado and the
Heavy Crepe Paper Sampler Set. Once they were cut out, I glued some of the Wide Scalloped Dresden Border across the top of each flag. To secure the flags to the seam binding, I whipped out the 1/2″ Scor Tape (that I hoard) and applied to the back of each flag. Press the flags down onto your seam binding and there you go… flags are secured!
Here’s a link to Bella’s Day of the Dead Banner supply list.

FREE Mini Halloween Banners Starter Kit!
Now through Monday night, October 9th!
I was inspired by all the zingy colors in Lora’s Retro Kitty Cat Mini Halloween Bunting and picked out some things for this new gift kit!
Papers in shades of green (lime!) and orange plus some black & white chevrons. Note: some of these are still available in case you’d like more:
– Halloween Spotty Orange Scrapbook Paper
– Master Detective Scrapbook Paper – Sinister Secrets
– Classic Christmas Dots & Stripes Scrapbook Paper (bet you didn’t expect a Christmas in the mix)
Plus some Black Seam Binding and Orange Web Mesh Ribbon — and some sparkly green glitter! This mini kit will automatically be added to ALL orders placed on October 5th through 9th, so you do not need to do anything special.
Hooray for the Retro Kitty Cat ATC Banner Giveaway!
I love Lora’s retro kitty cats! And each ATC card hanging from the banner is a little treasure!
Highlighting that spiffy guy at left, this Giveaway begins with:
– Halloween Clock Spinners Collage Sheet
– Bewitched 6×6 Paper Pad
– Wrought Iron ATC Card – 5 Points
– Chipboard Bats Set (New!)
– Lime Green Stickles
And I’m including the other 2 sets of ATC cards that Lora used:
– Wrought Iron ATC Card – Spider Web
and
– Wrought Iron ATC Card – Staggered Points
Plus I’m adding one of the Mini Halloween Banners Starter Kits! That includes a yard of Black Seam Binding, that would be a good substitute for making your own black bows… or for using to hang the cards.
