The Infamous Drippy Goo

The science of marketing.....it's so interesting to see what tool or gadget is a must have and what is a must not have. Have you read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell? It's a really interesting book about this very topic. Whether it is an idea, a behavior or, in this case, a product, this book talks about how they spread. How they become epidemics, in Gladwell's words. It's a cool read - I recommend it if you get the chance. This leads me to the drippy goo punch by Martha Stewart Crafts. Who knew that they would become a coveted item this Halloween season? I was lucky - I picked one up about a month ago in a rare trip to Michaels. I figured after buying it, I'd better put it to some use (or sell it on ebay if I want to make a bundle!)

  I was trying to make some October notecards for myself. I had one idea that really wasn't working so I completely scrapped it and grabbed my drippy goo punch instead.

I punched the drippy goo in both green and purple and added stickles along the edges of both. Once attached to the white layer, I stamped a pumpkin from the Halloween set from There She Goes in orange ink from Stampin' Up. I used the xyron to adhere the goo which made quick and easy work of these.

Here's the set of notecards I worked on today. All in all, not counting the tons of time I spent on the idea that DIDN'T work, these took no time at all.

Columbus Day went well here. There was a minor skirmish this evening but overall, the day off from school was a mostly relaxing event. (Those do happen sometimes!). Have a great night!

These are very cute and simple. I only wish I kept that goo punch when I had it.
