Happy Halloween–C4C #304

Hello, and welcome to this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges! It’s sketch week and I took a little artistic license with it, but I think you can still see the bones of the sketch.



I started with a Grout Gray card stock base, then did a watercolor wash on some Ranger Watercolor paper using Grape Jelly dye ink, Orange Zest dye ink, and Jellybean Green dye ink, then cut it out with Blueprints 20 Die-namics before popping it up on the base with foam mounting tape. Next I added the tree, moon, and bat from Spooky House Die-namics, stamped the sentiment, from Frightfully Fun Halloween with Black Licorice hybrid ink, and added a couple of ghosts from Frightfully Fun Halloween and Frightfully Fun Halloween Die-namics. Easy peasy!




And that's it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you, including our September Guest Designer, Fran Sabad!

Boo To You–CTD #360

Hey, there, welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Monika is our host this week and she never fails to throw unexpected and amazing color combos at us—I love this!!




Soooo, I was totally inspired by the scene and just went with it. I started with a Grout Gray card stock base, then cut an opening in some Sweet Tooth card stock with Circle STAX Set 1 Die-namics for my little scene. I sponged my background using After Midnight dye ink and Pure Plum dye ink then created my scene using Spooky House Die-namics. The moon was cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and the tree and bats from black glitter paper. I popped the front up on foam mounting tape, added the “boo”, cut with By the Letters Die-namics from Silver Sparkle card stock and popped them up on foam as well. The sentiment is from part of a sentiment from BB The Whole Herd and was stamped with Black Licorice dye ink. I finished off with a larger bat as accent.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have.

August Die-namics Design - Treat Boxes and Treats

Parties, thank you gifts, thoughtful little surprises - so many different occasions when a sweet treat is warranted! Our team of designers is with us today sharing ideas for creating sweet treats with an even sweeter presentation. Our assortment of Die-namics will do the work - you just have fun embellishing and filling!

Hi there, and welcome to MFT’s August Die-namics Design Challenge! This month were doing treat boxes and treats. I love the Paper Bag Peek-a-Boos Die-namics along with Paper Bag Treat Box Die-namics so I used them to make an easy little gifty treat. For the first one, I cut the box from Orange Fizz card stock, cut the Jack o’Lantern face out, and assembled. I tied some Halloween baker’s twine around the bottom, stuffed it with black tissue paper and filled it. To finish it off, I added a sentiment flag, cut from Blueprints 25 Die-namics. The sentiment if from LJD Primitive Pumpkins and was stamped with Black Licorice dye ink. I matted it with a hand-cut purple glitter paper layer, attached it to a toothpick, and stuck it in the top.

For the second one, I cut Paper Bag Treat Box Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock then cut the spider web from Paper Bag Peek-a-Boos Die-namics. I cut another copy of that from silver sparkle card stock and adhered it, added the spider, cut from black glitter paper and attached to a silver cord. The sentiment flag was done the same was as for the orange box.

As for the treats? What better than chocolate?!




And there you have it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Happy Halloween–CTD #316

Hey, there, everyone! It’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! Today’s colors are brought to us by Monika—I really love that bright blue!




The inspiration piece is a Fall scene, but it said Halloween to me so that’s what I went with—my LAST Halloween card for this year, I promise :)

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Next, I did a watercolor wash on some Ranger watercolor paper with a Pacific Point reinker from SU! I matted that with Black Licorice card stock and popped them both up on foam. Next I added a fence, cat, and tombstone, cut from Black Licorice card stock and Grout Gray card stock, using Spooky Scene Die-namics. Then I added a LJD Out on a Limb Die-namics tree, also cut from Black Licorice card stock and leaves cut from Lemon Drop card stock and Orange Fizz card stock. The sentiment is from LJD Primitive Pumpkins and was stamped with Black Licorice dye ink.

Another sentiment from LJD Primitive Pumpkins was stamped on the inside along with more leaves.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have.
