Challenge #68 - Eyelets or Brads

Thank you to everyone who played along with our floss or twine challenge last moth.

For Challenge No #68 we would like to see you make use of that EYELETS and/or BRADS.

Remember when eyelets were all the rage and after they slowly disappeared off the scene brads took over. We bet you still have either - or even both - in your stash and we would love to see how you incorporate them into your projects. Use as many or as few as you like and maybe even go really wild and use both :)

Thank you to everyone who played along with our embossing challenge last moth.

Challenge #66 - Emboss

Thank you to everyone who played along with our chipboard challenge last moth.


For Challenge No #66 we would like to see you EMBOSS.

Do you have an embossing machine and folders that you have ignored for a long time? Do you have lots of embossing powders that are stuffed in the back of your cupboard?
Then this challenge is perfect for you this month because we want to see you include some form of embossing (wet or dry) on your project.

And here are our DT examples to give you an idea on how to emboss on your projects


Aimee

"I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil and rubbed an embossing pad over it. Then embossed with clear powder, and painted over it with watercolor paint. The embossing resists the paint."

Channa

"I decided to go with dry and wet embossing. I think the dry embossing is clear to see, I used my cuttlebug and some folders, the wet embossing part is the white butterfly"



Gabrielle

“I did wet embossing with mist resist with Lawn Fawn chevron stamps and October Afternoon art box mists”.


Jenifer

“the paper scrap behind the photo is dry embossed”

Martine

“I heat embossed the letters. I pressure embossed then heat embossed with clear powder the piece of CS under the photo at the top right. I inked over it in black, and the raised, embossed parts resisted.”
Nitasha

“Embossed the card with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. And also heat embossed the sentiments with Zing”
Norine

“I cut chevron strips from a piece of Bazzill patterned paper and used that as a stencil for my emboss ink. After clear heat embossing it, I brushed Mr Huey inks, three shades, and let the resist do it's thang. I distress inked the alpha stickers and misted some fabric covered octagon chipboards.”
Sarah

“I heat embossed the label die cut with gold embossing powder. And the oval underneath it was dry embossed with an embossing folder. I sponged a little ink over it to show the swiss dots better.”

Challenge #65 - Chipboard

Thank you to everyone who played along with our paper challenge last moth.


For Challenge No #65 we would like to see you use CHIPBOARD.

This month we would like to see you make good use of chipboard on your projects, be it the good old alphas or the shapes and accents. Use your chipboard plain or paint it/distress it - make it work best for your project.

Challenge #64 - Paper

Thank you to everyone who played along with our Masking/Washi tape challenge last moth.


For Challenge No #64 we would like to see you use PAPER ONLY.

All of us have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much paper in our stash, right? So this month we would like to see you create a project just from paper, i. e background, embellishments, titles - it all has to be crafted from paper.

There are so many awesome paper designs out there which practically scream to be fussy cut to be used as embellishments. Paper strips can be used as ribbons - the possibilities are endless.

Challenge #63 - Deco Tapes

Thank you to everyone who played along with our Stamps challenge last moth.


For Challenge No #63 we would like to see you use MASKING/WASHI TAPE.

Tapes have boomed over the last year and by now almost every scrapbooking manufacturer compliments their with a roll or two of decorative tape.

It is perfect for those little accents here and there or to be used instead of a paper strip.

Use as much or as little masking/washi tape on your project.

Aimee
" I covered a piece of Glitz Designs paper with Tissue Tapes. Then added Distress Stains. Dry with heat tool. Spritz with Memories Mist. Dry again. Die cut with Spellbinder's die."

Caryn

Channa
"I used tape for the little flowers, the banner and the little tags next to the picture"

Gabrielle

Jenifer

I used my Tim Holtz Ideaology Tape which I probably would not have touched without this challenge.....way to motivate me to use my supplies!!!! The white stipes aside the paper are tape as are the punched leaves in the flower clusters....I applied the tape to white cardstocked so that I was able to punch it!!

"I covered some card stock with tape and then die cut it using the Tim Holtz bird cage die. Then, I cut a bird cage out of grunge board. I adhered the die cut taped card stock to the die cut grunge board."
