A Couple of Squares

I apologize for the picture.  It is hard to photgraph a glass block...especially with a cell phone camera, but we make due.  This pair of square heads is so cute in person.  I made the glass block by putting etching cream on the glass craft block I got from  Michaels.  After the etching was done to give it a frosted look, I cut the face from vinyl using Pumpkin Carvings and used transfer tape to apply the vinyl to the glass block.  Then I tied on orange and black tulle and added a glass candy corn charm that is actually a wine glass charm I found for 50% off at Joann's.  It's hard to see in the picture, look right under the bow.   I found a string of 50 orange lights at Joann's too.  I love the orange glow.  It will brighten the dorm room.

Then I made a matching card using George and Pumpkin Carvings.  I didn't love it until I used my xyron to cover it in Martha Steward coarse glitter.  Then I added a bow to mimic the glass block and a small skull and cross bones charm.  

This is this week's mailing to my college kiddo.  I am also sending her one of those fake carvable pumpkins, an electric light, and a pumpkin carving kit so she doesn't miss the fun this week.   Thanks for checking me out.
