Paper Selection
I stuck to the standard Halloween colors. Patterned paper looks nice but when it is dark and you light it up you can’t really see the pattern. The vellum needs to be light. I tried black vellum on another luminary and it didn’t glow well.
Cutting the Scary Halloween Luminary
This is fairly straight forward to cut out. You can’t see them, but there are eight score lines on the black piece to make it a box. Be careful when removing it from the mat as the pieces are thin and fragile.
Cutting vellum on the Cricut can be difficult. Make sure it is sealed to the mat. Any air bubbles and the vellum can tear. I use a paint scrapper to smooth it down to the mat.
