MFT September Creative Challenge - Halloween Happenings

Hi there! It's time for the September Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things! The design team has been challenged to Up Our Halloween Game! Fun!!

I went very simple for my project today and because it was so simple, it can EASILY be recreated in multiples. I made a card and a treat box. The treat box was made with the Paper Bag Treat Bag Die-namics and Paper Bag Peek-a-Boos Die-namics. The textured look was made with the Burlap Background. The colors I used are Orange Fizz, Black Licorice, Kraft, and Sweet Tooth.

Here is my project:

Here's the card:

MFT July Creative Challenge - Improving on Pattern Perfection

Hi there everyone! It's time for the July Creative Challenge from My Favorite Things! This month's challenge is Improving on Pattern Perfection using the time-honored stripe! I got my love of stripes from my beloved grandmother, so this wasn't really a challenge for me!

Make sure you head on over to the MFT Blog for a direct link to each participating designer.

I couldn't stop with just one card, so I've got two to share with you today. I actually made three cards, but I will save the third for another time ;)

My first card is pretty shabby. I started by cutting four of the Stripes Cover-Up Die-namics from Kraft card stock. I layered them all together for dimension and painted the top layer with some liquid gesso. The Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose was cut from Pink Lemonade card stock and was stamped with the Diagonal Stripes Background in Bubblegum ink. I cut the Leaf-Filled Flourish from Translucent Vellum and again painted everything with a layer of gesso.

Here is my card:

The finished inside:

My second card uses the Diagonal Stripes Stencil with some modeling paste, along with the Diagonal Stripes Background.

Here is my card:

Detail shot. I need to reach for the stencils and modeling paste more often. Love the texture of the not-so-perfect stripes! The Tag Talk Die-namics (this month's Free with $60) was cut from Steel Blue card stock and stamped with Steel Blue Hybrid Ink using the Diagonal Stripes Background.

The finished inside:
