I made this cute Halloween card today using a Darice spiderweb embossing folder and a stamp from Art Impressions. These are two of my favorite companies to work with! Daric has so many craft supplies at bargain prices. I had to contact customer service a few months ago and they were wonderful! Check them out at your local craft store or Here.
A great place to craft WHATEVER! One day it may be quilting, the next scrapbooking! Even a review here and there of new products! Feel free to comment on anything you would like to see and I will be more than happy to try it out! Be sure to like my Facebook page for contest and challenges! https://www.facebook.com/pages/One-Old-Stitch/342229219193982

Try to Dye
I have been wanting to dye my own fabric for awhile and I finally tried it! It was great! Time consuming but great. I love that I can have control over my fabric! Here is a photo of what I made.
I labeled each one with what I used. As you can see it really didn't matter if I used 1 or 2 cups of water. I thought using more water would give me lighter colors but not at a one cup difference.
If you would like to see how to do this please leave a comment below and I will make a video or tutorial!

Art Impressions FUN FOLDS Challenge
I recently discovered Art Impression stamps and I have to say, I LOVE them! They have a wonderful Website and lots of ideas! As I was reading their blog this morning I came across a card Challenge! I am ALWAYS up for a challenge!
The challenge was to try a "Fun Fold". They give you a tutorial on how to make one but you can use any. They have created stamps specifically for folded cards! These people think of everything !
In honor of the Fall and Halloween approaching, I used one of my many new Art Impressions stamps and created this card. It is my first fun fold and it came out great!
Also, a big "thank you" to TheCraftyKitchen over at Youtube for her tutorial on how to make a fun fold card!
