Eclectic Ellapu September Challenge


We are creating ways to present a gift this month at Eclectic Ellapu Challenge.

I love to create gift card holders by recycling toilet paper tubes!  I flatten the tube and wrap it with patterned paper, slip the gift card inside the tube, embellish the outside, and create a ribbon closure to hold the gift card inside.

We hope you'll share the ways you present a gift to friends and/or family.  You can find the challenge HERE.

MFP Stamps Challenge - Color Orange



This week's MFP Stamps Challenge is to use the color orange.

For my card, I used the Be Virtuous stamp set.  I inked an acrylic block using Pumpkin Pie ink and dry stamped it on the white layering panel, then stamped the image and colored it using Copic markers and stamped the sentiment using Archival Black ink.  Embellished my card using orange/yellow gingham ribbon and an enamel dot.

We hope you'll use the color orange and share your cards/projects with us this week at MFP Stamps Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.
