Vampire Halloween Sign Tutorial

So, I have a confession to make.  I hoard products designed by Tim Holtz.  I just love his style.  From products to books to DVDs, if it’s by Tim Holtz then I want it.  His monthly tag series inspires me and teaches me new techniques.  So when I found out that the Xyron Design Team was partnering with Tim Holtz,  I actually squealed out loud.  I received a very generous box of goodies from his line of products, and immediately started crafting.

I love this vampire die cut by Tim Holtz, but, you know me…I like to have fun!  So instead of creating something dark and spooky, I decided to go with humor.  That’s how I came up with this “blood bank” sign that lights up!  Here’s how you can make your own light up vampire sign.
