Make It Monday #4 - Playing with Fun Foam

This week's Make It Monday challenge is to use fun foam on your project.

I had quite a hard time with this one. I think I was trying too hard to find some "out of the box" way to use fun foam. I wasn't sure fun foam and I were friends.

The embellishments I made with fun foam just didn't turn out the way I liked. In the end, I decided to make a tag out of it.

I cut out a tag using Tag Sale #3 and made a couple of interesting discoveries. First, the dots that outline the tag show up very well on fun foam. Second, those dots show up on both sides of the tag! Amazing!

Here's the front of my tag. I kept it simple and also used a piece of vellum that was leftover from a previous MIM challenge. 


Here's the back. Those dots showed up automatically. 


I think I'll be using fun foam to make more tags. They won't get crumpled up and they're less likely to tear. I guess fun foam and I are friends after all.

Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Hmm, this is really cute, but I was thinking I am not so fond of fun foam... but for a tag base, now maybe that is a great idea!

  8. Love how you combined the vellum challenge and this one. I didn't realize that the foam would take on the impression from the die so well! Thanks for the inspiration!
