Specialty Papers

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the CCEE Stampers blog. It's time for another fun challenge are you ready to play??

This week our challenge hostess Deb challenged us to make a card using any specialty type of paper. Some possibilities....vellum, acrylic, foil, flocked, metallics...anything beyond the typical cardstock and printed designer papers. (you know, those papers you bought because they were so beautiful and unusual, then put them in a folder and never used...oh wait, that was me). the rest of the materials is up to you, as long as you have some of the specialty paper somewhere on your card.

Sound like a fun challenge!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you have to do is create a card using some type of specialty type paper (vellum, acrylic, foil, flocked, metallics etc). Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!

OK now it i s time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.

CNFS - IMAMUTTNUT!

Good morning everyone and welcome to our CCEE Stamper blog. Are you ready for another challenge!

This week it is time for our CNFS (Catchy Name Featured Stamper) challenge which is always soooo much fun. For those who don't know already, once a month our challenge hostess for the month selects someone who has a "Catchy" user name over on SCS and we then create our card around that name.

This week, Deb our challenge hostess selected the user name "imamuttnut" .... cool name don't you think and I guess that means she loves dogs hehe. Hope so cause that is what we all had to put on our cards a dog!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you have to do is create a card that has a dog on it ... I am sure you have dog stamps right!!!!! Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created.

Everything Old is New Again!

Hi Stampers,
I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. Thanks to everyone who played with us last week with Cindy's sketch challenge it was fun seeing all your great creations.

Of course now it is time for other challenge with the CCEE Stampers. Cindy Haffner brings us another great challenge which is to create a card using a die, tool, embellishment we haven’t used in a long time. It could be a cuttlebug die you had to have and never used, eyelets that are collecting dust, you get the idea. Now I am sure you can relate to this one right, we all have dies, tools or embellishments that we had to have and either not use them at all or use them for a bit and move onto something new .... well now is the time to get them out and PLAY!

So are you going to play along this week??? Come on you know you have some stuff you haven't used for ages so now is a good time to use them. Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!

OK now it i s time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.
