MFT October Creative Challenge – Cork

Hi everyone!  It’s time for another Creative Challenge with My Favorite Things. This month we’ve been asked to use cork sheets to craft cards and projects you’ll want to stick a pin in for inspiration you’ll turn to over and over.  MFT’s line of Die-namics cuts such a wide variety of materials, why not cork!

My first card uses Falling Leaves, Words of Gratitude Die-namics and Square STAX 2.

After die-cutting the cork, I cut the leaves from Jellybean Green, Orange Fizz, Lemon Drop and Electric Red card stock.  “Thankful” was cut from Chocolate Brown with the “for you” stamped in Chocolate Brown dye ink using Gift Card Greetings II.

Inside, I stamped a sentiment and leaf from Fall Foliage using Chocolate Brown and Natural inks.

On my second card, I used cork to create a cork board appearance.  “Grateful” was die-cut from the cork and “so very” was stamped onto a Fishtail Flags Layer using Thankful Thoughts and Kraft ink.

A die-cut Fall Foliage leaf was airbrushed using Copic markers then “tacked” onto the board with an enamel dot.

Inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Thankful Thoughts with a little leaf and trail at the bottom.
