There are very few 'rules' and no prizes, no deadlines, no drama - just the fun of participating and doing something you may not have done before or you don't do regularly. Check out the FB page and become part of the group. Later, you can decide if you want to add yourself to the rotation for making up the recipe for a month.
Vicki created the recipe for August and it is:
MUST DO:
1. Die cut (or electronic machine like Cricut)
2. Interactive (More than 1 fold, eg: gate fold, easel, slider, etc.) Check out Vicki's Youtube video.
3. Specialty paper (vellum, glitter, foil, etc.)
4. Ribbon/twine/or raffia
CAN DO:
1. Color an image
2. Add 3 of something
3. Add glitter/sparkle
I watched Vicki's video and followed her well explained and easy steps to make my card. I did change the size of my card so that it was 4 1/4 " square when folded (8 1/2 x 8 1/2 starting size) and I made the envelope for it. I decided on a Halloween theme partly because Vicki had done a Christmas theme and partly because I wanted to color up this cute image from LeAnn's World.
I did use all the MUST DO items plus all the CAN DO items. :-D Here's the finished card when folded up:
and when opened up:
Outside:
Colored w/ ProMarkers
Cut w/ Unbranded, stitched die
Gold glitter paper
Sheer ribbon wrapped on top of gold paper and under image
Sentiment printed & cut w/ Unbranded die
Inside:
"Chenille" paper (it's actually fuzzy)
"Halloween" sentiment is a button
Bats die cut from foam (Die-namics)
"Pearl" CS for card base
