PTI SAF 2017: 9th Anniversary Tradition: Pottery by Nichole Heady

Curiosity got the best of me, and I just had to try this Cornstarch Dough recipe. Haven't done this type of thing for years…way back when the cinnamon ornaments were so popular. This is the 16th and final SAF 2017 challenge I've completed, and even though this wasn't my best effort I'm sharing them anyway. Will try this again when I have more time and better stamp choices as the sentiments I had are very hard to read. Onward!

PTI SAF 2017: 10th Anniversary Tradition: Tin & Aluminum by Carissa Wiley

Last, but certainly not least, is my post for Carissa Wiley's technique using Nuvo gilding flakes…only I don't own them and couldn't get access to them in time for this event. Nichole said use what supplies we have on hand so chunky silver glitter to the rescue. Here's my creation.

PTI SAF 2017: 10th Anniversary Tradition: Tin & Aluminum by Laurie Schmidlin

WOW, did you see Laurie Schmidlin's beautiful card? I am SO grateful for her talent and that she shares it with us. What an inspiration! Because I didn't have silver foil paper, I used heavy duty aluminum foil. Note to self: Buy foil paper and try this technique again. Here's my design.

PTI SAF 2017: 6th Anniversary Tradition: Iron by Betsy Veldman

Betsy made this look so interesting I just had to try it. Her video was so detailed and thorough. I had to improvise a bit but managed to find a frame die that had some detail. It's getting late, and my brain is fried so what to put inside took me a while. Anyway, on with my card.

PTI SAF 2017: 6th Anniversary Tradition: Iron by Yana Smakula

Don't you just love Yana's detailed videos and beautiful creations? I've followed her blog for quite some time, and she never fails to impress me. Her "iron" technique was impressive, and I appreciate her tip for temporarily adhering the die-cut to a strip of paper for easier embossing.

PTI SAF 2017: 8th Anniversary Tradition: Bronze by Jessica Frost-Ballas

How rich and elegant Jessica's bronze embossing looks on Tropical Teal card stock! Almost used TT myself but decided to try Ocean Tides, and I like it.

PTI SAF 2017: 7th Anniversary Tradition: Wool by Debbie Olson

Aren't those stitched felt cookies Debbie made so real looking? Made me hungry as I was so busy crafting for SAF that I didn't even take time to eat my snacks. I'm not a sewer but had to pull out the needle, thread and felt for this challenge and Heather's. Here's my felt cookie.
