CCEE1108

It's hard to believe this is the last week of February. I hope you've enjoyed our "Tool" challenges. Well, for this last week, I'd like for you to distress your papers. You can use tools such as the Tim Holtz Tonic Paper Distresser, the Zutter Distrezz~it~All, or just a bone folder or fingernail. Or, you can use inks to paper distress.

We'd love to have you play along also. All you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1108. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too. Now, lets see what the CCEE gals have come up with:

Wow! This month is flying by!! I can hardly believe it's the third week of February. Well, continuing with our use of different tools this month, this week you are to use scoring. If you don't have a Scor-Pal, or Scor-Buddy, you can use a foam mat, ruler and stylus to make your lines along the card stock. Also, some cutters have grooves for the blades, and these make good guidelines.

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1107. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

Now, lets see what the gals have come up with this week. Scoring details can sometimes be hard to see. So, if you click on the photos, you can get a closer look.

Hello stamping friends!! It's time to reach for a new tool. This week, I'd like you to haul out your embossing folders. If you don't have any embossing folders, you could use a stencil and a stylus.

We'd love it if you'd play along also. All you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1106. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

Hi everyone!!

Tosh here, and I have some new challenges for you for the month of February.

This month, it's all about the "Tools". When you hear the word "tools", most people think men and their cars, or the wood shop, etc. But not in the crafting world. When it comes to stamping, I'm all about tools. What's new, and what's my tried and true!! Well, for this first week, you need to include a punched piece somewhere on your card. Whether it be a border, corner, flower, circle, whatever shape, but it must be punched (not a diecut). I love my dies, but I also have a huge addiction to punches. I won't even begin to count my stash, and even if I did, I would never admit the number. :o)

We'd love to see how you use punches too, so if you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1105. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.
