Challenge # 96

@ FOSTV challenge blog

is a

A Halloween Theme

  

 

I used my Cameo to cut a darling

Lever Card...

I added a black vinyl to the top of the card...

It would not cut well with paper or cardstock...

 

I love this little girly witch hang'n out on the moon...

It's one you can find over at

Mark's Finest Paper's a Heinrich Co.

the sentiment is perfect...

added some washi tape and there it is...

a Halloween Themed card

for Challenge # 96

at

FOSTV

 

Until next time...

Happy Craft'n

What can you do with some Fruit?

This weeks challenge over on

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV is...

Challenge 72

Fruit Printed Backgrounds

This great tutorial is brought to you  by...

Thrifty Stamper...

she has some really cool ideas

to be 'Thrifty' in your craft room...

 

Well, when I was making my card,

I had NO fruit in the house...

so can you guess what I used to do a

Fruit Printed Background...

 

 

Should I tell you that I used a...

 

Potato

 

I cut it in half and tried to make it have different surface areas...

I think if I would have not cut the potato but

'snapped' in half it would have been

more textures...lesson learned...

 

I did use my Cameo to cut the music note...

 

I saw this tutorial on YouTube, gotta love You Tube, right...

but it gave me the idea of this easel kind of card...

I think I will share that with you later...

so be sure to come back to learn how to

do this card technique

(not the inked fruit background technique)...

 

Check out the tutorial,

and give it a try...

Now post it to your blog...

Than link that blog post to

Challenge # 72

 

If you use a Mark's Finest Paper's a Heinrich stamp set

your proget will count as 2 entries,

better odds with that...

but you can use any stamp,

just try the tutorial!!!

 

Well that's about it for now...

Happy Craft'n

have a great weekend I will see you back

on Monday for a new FOSTV post...

Happy Craft'n

Challenge # 71   Paper Clay

Lis Robson is our design team member that

put this tutorial together...

Great Job Lis, thank you...

 



Tutorial can be found here...

 

I got some Sculpey III baking clay for my project,

but you can use just about any clay, Wally Word has some

clay that you just mold into what you want and there you have it...

a Clay Embellishment...

easy peasy.

I did have to bake my clay and I do not have a clay press

or pasta thing and I was still just to make it work...

Lots of options you have here...

 

After I baked my clay, I let it cool

than colored it with

some Stampin Up markers...

 

added a ribbon and a die cut

from my cameo...and yep

it's time to enter the challenge...

 

Hope to see you at

Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV..

This week's tutorial time on speedy TV
Challenge # 69

by design team member Jane Chambers

is to...

Paper Bag Embossing

What a fun way to give the gift of art with

a little gift in a gift...

I love this idea

here is what I created

Simple but elegant, don't you think?

I used some washi tape and a doily

and an embossing folder to decorate this bag.

A little bit of dry embossing looks great on a bag...

I used the Love Love Love Stamp Set from

Mark's Finest Paper's a Heinrich Co

online store.

A great place to buy your

stamping supplies.

Dress up your paper bag...
