Drippy Goo Giveaway

UPDATE: snarflemarfle and EllenQ were picked by the random number robot.  Congratulations!

Martha Stewart has made TWO drippy goo edge punches available for me to giveaway to my readers.  These are the *coolest* edge punches I've seen yet.  

The obvious use is creepy Halloween goodness (google image search proof), but I know you're more creative than that.    Leave a comment with your non-Halloween use for the drippy goo edge punch before I turn off the comments on Friday, October 9th to have a chance to win one of the punches.

I make a line of handbags that look like blood is dripping down them (http://thecraftinista.blogspot.com/2009/04/lambs-blood-bag.html). I would use the punch for the giftcards to go with the bag!

How about using it as spilled paint? You could use it in a scrapbook showing a remodeling project or getting a nursery ready. Even for a housewarming card or invitations to a housewarming party.

I could see it making awesome edging for a paper cake for a baby shower, or cutting white paper and adding silver glitter for a winter icicle effect, or cut green paper and put little sequin flowers at the top of each green "stem" or or or...

What a wonderful giveaway...thank you!
I can think of many uses for this punch...but the project I would start with would be a paint party I am planning to repaint my aged parents home...
This would make it look like paint dripping off the invitation...

I love incorporating timelines with images - in visual journal pages, in photo pages, even long letters. I like making up events too and writing them on fictional timelines. I think this punch would be perfect for that use! The extra big drips are perfect for milestone events in your life.

The hottest punch in the craft-o-sphere right now. I can't believe you got not one but two. Good luck to everyone. Drippy Goo- You can make cake icing, snow melting, of course anything zombie related. It always reminds me of slime. I hope your move is going well.

I would use it for cards or scrapbook pages having to do with food. The kitchen table always ends up looking like that after a cooking session!

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! I have some great pictures of my nephews when they were about two or three eating ice cream. The vanilla and chocolate was melting and dripping all over their hands and onto their clothes. This would be the perfect border for the headline, which is, of course, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!"

A shelf-edging for my secretary desk would be the very first reason for using this very cool edge punch. My medicine cabinet shelves are just waiting for something way-cool.
Love your blog and am enjoying the anticipation of this giveaway.

What a great punch! So many ways to make use of the dripping liquid, but I have to say that because of how the punch is oriented in the photo, my first thoughts were of invading aliens (in blue) and of teeth in need of some dental work (in white). Now to think of someone who would actually appreciate these images on a card...

Awesome giveaway! I think a non-scary use for me could be to use it to look like water. My son is a swimmer, so this would come in handy :)


Suzy said ...

Melting chocolate!!!


De'Anna said ...

I think it would make really cute magical fairy land grass and flowers for cards!

Hope you are getting close to getting settled in..moving can be exciting but a lot of hard work!!

How about next to the picture of a grinning baby??

How about the roof of a gingerbread house

I think I would use it for a "first trip through the sprinkler" or waterpark layout. I have some wonderful pictures of my daughter watering the flower garden in the spring, that would also be a great "April Showers" theme punch. I can see a windowpane panel with a drippy windowsill, and rainy spring time pictures in the windowpanes.

Love the drippy ice cream idea!


bec said ...

i saw raindrops coming off the roof.

I think I'd use it to invite all of my friends to a Painting Party to finally finish repainting my house!


Kim said ...

What about the dripping of frosting or chocolate from a (cup)cake! mmmm You could make decorations for a cake stand or cupcake wrappers.
Or use it up side down and glue musroomhats or flowers on the 'drops'. Or drops from candles.

i think that it looks like "baby" mushrooms, you know, before they open up to the "normal" shape.

also, basis for a sea-scape with corals and polyps, etc.

i am a biology/fish girl (smile)

It reminds me of what grass would look like in monster world. Sometimes I like to incorporate textures into my mixed-media painting and love the simple lines used here. I'm currently working on a monster series called, "Dread" seen at http://beinghandy.blogspot.com/ where I paint scenarios where people are unknowingly about to be gobbled up by monsters. For this cut-out, i could see human world grass and some feet at the top and the gooey fluid grass as a reflection with hungry monsters invisible to the foot below. Well, now I'm itching to paint!


Carina said ...
10/8/2009 1:23 PM
He he he.. only one thing popped into my mind: use it on paper the same colour as the inlaws' computer monitor, then affix it to the lower edge so it looks like the monitor is melting... (-;


Michelle said ...
10/8/2009 1:31 PM
I'd have to say chocolate, or the top of a birthday cake...


Kari said ...
10/8/2009 1:38 PM
I'd use it with paint chips for a rainbow of melty goodness! :)


Myrnie said ...
10/8/2009 1:46 PM
I'm wondering if I couldn't use spray adhesive to glue fabric to paper, then cut out lots of pieces to make a border for my girls' bathroom...I'd peel the paper off, then stick the fabric to the wall with spray starch.


Kimberly said ...
10/8/2009 2:15 PM
I think I'd try applique-quilting with this thing!


Lois said ...
10/8/2009 2:30 PM
I'd use this edging in light blue or silver dripping down from the top of a scrap-book page for our rainy day outing(s) to Butchart Gardens!


Tiffany said ...
10/8/2009 2:31 PM
oooh like rain drops or spilled paint!! I would use it for my mixed-media art journals and stitching/embroidery projects.

i'd love to win this! thanks!


Niina said ...

I would use it to make a stencil for my godsons deep blue room. It needs some lightening up so having some green drip down from the ceiling would be quite cool.


snarflemarfle said ...
10/8/2009 4:11 PM
I've always thought that punch looked like something off the sea floor...or a lava lamp. Wouldn't that be fun inside a paper-pieced lava lamp?!?


lorrie said ...
10/8/2009 4:17 PM
That is really cool. My son and I are doing a unit on weather right now, I think it would be great for the weather scrapbook were making for the pages on rain.


ter said ...

How about decorated with mini jewels and glitter, looped around, taped closed, and inverted as a crown for our bunnies!


Mary said ...
10/8/2009 4:32 PM
I could use it to create cool stalactites and stalagmites in cave scenes in our hiking scrapbook!!!
Thanks for the chance!


Kristen Jones said ...
10/8/2009 4:38 PM
Wow...I could think of alot of creative uses for this drippy goo. Especially with Halloween coming up! Would definitely use for scrapbooking. I think it would be a good border to our recent bedroom painting adventure. Although we ended up getting the bedroom painted afterwards professionally, I got alot of great pictures of our family "attempting" to paint it, and ended up with alot of "drippy goos" on the wall!


Hilary said ...

Caramel for a caramel apples/hayride/hot chocolate photo spread.


Colleen said ...
10/8/2009 6:00 PM
I would make a stencil with it and do it on the edge of teeshirts! That would look so coool!


Isabel said ...
10/8/2009 6:03 PM
great for scrapbookin :)


Alexandra said ...
10/8/2009 6:36 PM
I would use it to make dripping paint edges for invitations to my paintball party!


Jessica Dougherty said ...
10/8/2009 6:54 PM
this would be so fun to use in scrapbooking for various themes!


Sam said ...
10/8/2009 7:45 PM
that looks like so much fun! i'd probably use it for something painty looking... maybe in conjunction with a splatter-painted card? i think that would be awesome!


kelli said ...
10/8/2009 8:28 PM
Ooh, a shelf edging. I could see that in my office!


Chris P said ...
10/8/2009 9:13 PM
In mixed media art-It could be used over and over-as a background element-dripping water-fun border-just a design element! Great punch!


Lisa Leggett said ...
10/8/2009 9:28 PM
Ola~ I would not use them for "drippy" anything, but rather flip it upside down and go for more of globular growing things aspect... I'm thinking mushrooms in a lunar landscape forrest... that's what they look like to me :) Something from Endor.

looks like water dripping or icicles too...how about you cut it up & use it for funky sun rays?


Andrea said ...
10/8/2009 9:57 PM
I'd love that texture for fun crowns. just cut vertically every few inches and you've got the crown's points... clipped in gold or silver origami paper I can image loads of cute embellishments.


Strawberry said ...

I could see this punch being used as water from a bath tub for a shower with a rubber ducky in the tub holding and umbrella.


Shelly Wood said ...
10/9/2009 12:46 AM
I would punch my paper and use the negative image that is left. It would make awesome flower petals cut up and placed in a circle, also coral formations and I think it would make an amazing alien planet landscape, all using the negative image.


Shannon said ...
10/9/2009 1:24 AM
I would totally use it for beach or river related artwork!


GodivaEyes said ...
10/9/2009 7:58 AM
I love this punch! Other than the Halloween crafts I'm itching to create with this, it reminded me of drippy icing and cake batter. I'd use it on baby/wedding shower cupcake-themed invites or items for a candy-theme. I can imagine a dark drippy chocolate boarder on a pink cupcake background!


Angie said ...
10/9/2009 10:20 AM
This is a great punch! Other than halloween, I could possibly use it for icing on a cake, a rainy day layout, a baby/bridal shower card. I work in a hospital lab, so I could see it being used for drippy, bloody work related things as well.


dot said ...
10/9/2009 10:29 AM
It looks like it would make cute water drops, maybe for a rubber duck themed baby shower!


Laura said ...
10/9/2009 10:51 AM
I work in a biology lab... I kinda want to use it to accent my signs about cleaning up after yourself...


Amber L. said ...
10/9/2009 11:05 AM
I would love to use this punch to make a border to put around a cake plate. It would also be cute on a summer greeting card or on a scrapbook page of my daughter after she eats her dinner.


Dani said ...
10/9/2009 11:10 AM
I would use it either for a winter theme, used as rain... or a summer one.. used as fruit juice using different colors! =)


Anna said ...
10/9/2009 11:53 AM
Could be used as spilled paint, or maybe dripping water. Cute punch.


Lolly said ...
10/9/2009 1:23 PM
You are right! That is one totally cool edge punch!!!!! Count me in for the giveaway!

I am thinking I would use mine for a jam and jelly card...! It kinda looks like dropping jam right? Kinda. Maybe.


kelley k. said ...
10/9/2009 2:42 PM
id make custom labels for all my homemade jam & jelly

!! Want !! So awesome! Martha Stewart is determined to get my whole paycheque, apparently, since she keeps releasing such fantastic craft supplies that I'm powerless to resist.

I might have to start up a painting business just so I can make the awesomest business cards ever with that drippy edging! But, I also live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains something like 13 months of the year, so I could also use it for everything else - some lovely stationary sets for friends perhaps.

I would use it for ribbon to line the edge of a cake stand. It would look like yummy icing dripping down the side.


cara said ...
10/9/2009 5:33 PM
I make bookmarks and have them laminated, so I'm thinking about this punch on the edge of bookmarks or for psychadelic signage. I just got my first two craft punches, and they make cut-outs so much faster, plus the fun options like this one. [hope I am not accidentally posting this twice].

10/9/2009 7:02 PM
PANCAKES! was the first thing that came to my mind. Drippy syrup on an invite to a brunch or pictures of a pancake supper in a scrapbook. Thanks for the give-away!


lisabellerose said ...
10/9/2009 9:31 PM
Me,me,me,me,me.I just want it!


Ramie said ...
10/9/2009 9:54 PM
I could see it as blood on a Halloween themed page, or paint dripping down from a weekend of painting themed page.


MyKalliope said ...
10/9/2009 11:12 PM
I would use it as icing on a cake decoration!

or some modernist painting - inspired greeting cards.

It's so cute!


Jennifer said ...
10/9/2009 11:24 PM
The winter idea is what comes to mind...maybe early spring decorations? Very cool.
