Today's TCP TUESDAY challenge from JULIE is to use ACETATE on your card or project. I LOVE ACETATE! (Unfortunately, I think it falls into the same category as those embossing folders for me...I forget that I even have them!) I also love trying to come up with new boxes and bags to put treats into. So, for this week, I came up with a card AND what I'm calling "The Beaker Box".
Can you see the box in this picture? I hope it reminds you of a beaker. And inside? I found some gummy BRAINS at Wegman's. They're oddly weird and gross and yummy, I guess, at the same time! I'm sure that the little person in our house will dig 'em. I added the label using the new CIRCUS PANELS CUTUPS dies and the COOLVETICA alphabet from THE CAT'S PAJAMAS along with black ribbon, buttons, twine, and the Drippy Goo edge punch from Martha Stewart at the top of the beaker.
Of course, I had to have a fun card to go along with the treat! I pulled out the MWAH! set - one of ALMA'S genius designs from last year and a personal fave for me. This Frankenstein is THE most fun! I used the COOLVETICA alphabet again along with the MS Drippy Good punch in a few places. The bold and bright patterned papers are from the Spooktacular pad by K&Co. - also from last year.
Rummage around in your craft area and unearth the acetate this week! Let's see what you come up with. Add your photo to the slide show on ALMA'S BLOG and use keyword TCPTUES182 when uploading to Splitcoast.
