My Favorite Things CREATE Magazine Feature



Have you seen the latest issue of CREATE magazine?

What happens when you give several designers the same product and ask them to create something unique?  In this case several MFT designers used the same product to create projects.  I was given the Proof Positive Cover-Up Die, and this is what I came up with:



I used it to create a modified color blocked panel and then added some fun speech bubbles.

I was having so much fun, I decided to create a second card.



For this one I again selectively replaced the positive signs to create a frame in the center.  I stitched along the rows of the inlaid positive signs and folded the up the edges to add some dimension and texture to the card.



A vellum backed frame for the sentiment finished it off.

You definitely want to check out the entire magazine/feature, there are some really fantastic projects to see!
