DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKINGHybrid Project ~ Door Hanger
Friday, October 15, 2010
Hey Everyone! Denise here with a cool door hanger project for the boys. My son has been wanting a sign for his room, he decided on a “Keep Out” sign for his little sister. I thought the theme would fun to combine with Halloween using a mix of the Boo and Goose Bumps kits.
I started with a Creative Imaginations Door Hanger as a base. The length and width were measured and a new canvas was created in Photoshop. The Boo papers and frame were placed, with the green paper masked behind the frame. The scrolls were added and duplicated to poke out behind the frame. The Goose Bumps orange swirl (at 70% opacity) and white paint splats were masked within the frame too. The purple paint was randomly placed along the top and a sawtooth mask from Scallops, Shapes and More was used to break up the two main papers. The two strips and mummy were sized and placed separately. Print the main panel, mummy and word strips to matte photo paper and trim the items out.
Paint the back of the CI hanger and edges with acrylic paint. Glue the main panel onto the hanger and place a heavy book on top while it dries. When dry, flip the hanger over and using an X-acto blade to trim away the paper of the upper arch and inner circle. Ink the edges of the hanger, mummy and word strips. To finish use pop dots to attach the mummy and word strips to the hanger.
I hope you like the “Keep Out” door hanger, appropriate for little sisters and brothers, lol.
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Looks really cute. It sounds like you made a template. Is this something you can share? Also, where did you purchase the door hangar base?

Hi Valerie, I’m so glad you liked it. :) I cannot legally give out a template for Creative Memories hanger, sorry about that! I have seen a lot of different hangers at Michaels and at the local scrapbooking store. The final size will depend on which one you buy. I hope you have fun making one & would love to see it. :)

This is fun project, Denise. I’ve been wanting to do one for Bug’s room for so long, as she desperately wants to keep her little sister out of her room (although Chick can’t read, so that means nothing to her, lol). Goosebumps is a great choice for this project…Thanks for the inspiration!
