Tattered Angels & Spellbindersâ„¢ are in a blog hop all month long! Today, our Design Team Member Karen Taylor will inspire us with her project. Please go visit her blog and see what kind of eye candy she has in store for us! Come back to our blog and find out who is next on the hop!

Taking Eli’s Savvy Saturday’s idea of using craft foam, I took it to another level to make a cushy project of my own. Instead of only using the foam as a stamp, why not use it as an element for my home decor too. I had a red tin bucket and wanted to do add something to display on my hallway table.

From my Spellbinders™ collection, I got out: S7-017 On The Vine Border Grand and S4-230 Labels Six die templates #6 #4 & #3 (#1 being in the smallest).

First with the 4.5×12″ strip of craft foam, I cut/embossed S7-017 On The Vine Border Grand. I left the craft foam in the die template and sprayed Tattered Angels’ Gold Glimmer Mist. Carefully, take out the die cut to set aside to dry. Clean your die template immediately to avoid staining.

With the JustRite Stampers’ Times New Roman Uppercase Font Set 50 pt. and the smaller Horizontal Wood Stamper, I stamped “Fall ‘09″ on a piece of cream cardstock and proceeded to cut/embossed with the S4-230 Labels Six die #3. Taking an orange cardstock from my scrap stash, I cut/embossed the S4-230 Labels Six #4 to mat behind the stamped cream cardstock.

Using Cosmo Cricket Early Bird Collection, I cut/embossed the S4-230 Labels Six #6. Then I cut/embossed a part of S7-017 On The Vine Border Grand with craft foam to use as a stamp. With the various colors of the Clearsnap Queue Inks, I stamped parts of the leaves and vine onto the label.  Then adhered the matted “Fall ‘09″ image onto the stamped label with foam adhesive to give it a 3D effect.

With adhesive dots, I adhered the foam vine onto the tin bucket and then adhered the “Fall ‘09″ label in the middle. Now to add some gourd and squash! It’s ready to display for little “treat or treat” visitors and even for that Thanksgiving dinner!

Hope it makes you look at craft foam in a different way!
