This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
your Favourite Line on our Bingo Board (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I love quite a few of the lines, but my favourite embellishments are usually ribbon & pearls and I do love a spot of purple, so I've opted for the backwards diagonal line.

Samantha

My Favourite line is the middle vertical line I LOVE C&S so had to try to incorporate
that in my line but as many of you already know I am NOT a pink lover so it has to be purple..
soooo lavender is purple and so are my gems

Brenda

My favourite line is fussy & fancy, lace and pearls. I love layers which translates to fussy for me and with this image, how could you not want to fancy it up? I felt the doily would give a wonderful lacy look for this card and pearls are my favourite type of bling.

Elaine

My favourite line is Gems, Purple and Clean and Simple. I love the CAS look for wedding cards. The purple happens to be the colour for the couple getting married next month and the little gems are heart shaped.

Kat

My favourite line is fussy & fancy, lace and pearls because I love to use lots of layers and pretty details

Lori

I did the middle row up/down "gems, purple and CAS" - I love gems, and this image was perfect for the purple colour and CAS design :)

Lorraine

This Bingo board was great for me as I loved all the choices but in the end I went for the top horizontal line, FUSSY & FANCY - GEMS - RIBBON.
I love making cards with lots of details, elements and layers so this line was perfect for me.

Mojca

I went for LACE-PURPLE-DIES. All of three are my favourite, I just love using lace on cards, it gives such lovely texture and lovely shades of purple are perfect for the spring time that's just waking up and of course dies, just can't do without them - I used lovely Marianne Design flowers which also remind me of spring (which is also my favourite time of year).

Sarah

I've gone for Pearls, Clean and Simple and Pink. I don't often put too much fuss on my cards so this line suited me perfectly.

Squirrel

It was a no-brainer for me - CAS, purple and gems!

Suzette

Wilma
My favourite line is: pearls, clean and simple, pink.
I love clean and simple cards and bright pink.

Freckled Fawn

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
your Favourite Method of Embossing (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

When I first started stamping I loved wet embossing, but often got messy. Now I really love dry embossing because I think it seems to give a really professional effect, and here I've used a really simple Swiss Dots embossing folder to create a panel across the top of my card. I've also used a flower die that I've embossed and inked to give it some definition.

Samantha

I have to say my new favourite is Embossing paste I love the texture and wow it provides
especially the white onto kraft cardstock.

Brenda

I love texture! I guess that's why I love embossing so much. I have to say heat embossing is my favorite, the process is magical to me. I used both embossing paste and heat embossing on my project for this challenge.

Elaine

My favourite is dry embossing. I love the stunning effects it creates.

Kat

My favourite type of embossing is heat embossing using Frantage embossing powder as it gives such a pretty delicate finish and complements the slightly shabby chic look that I love.

Lori

My favorite is dry embossing - I love how it adds quick, FUN detail to a project and gives it some texture:

Lorraine

My favourite is dry embossing, there are so many beautiful embossing folders out there to choose from that give such interesting texture to your project.

Mojca

I prefer dry embossing to heat because when I try to do good heat embossing something always goes wrong, the dust doesn't stick properly on all the parts and so I usually give up :) Also dry embossing gives you lovely 3D look on the paper.

Sarah

I couldn't decide so have included both on my card. Love the texture and interest that both dry and heat embossing give.

Squirrel

I used to heat emboss a lot, before I discovered Memento ink for stamping, but nowadays I barely do it at all. I have been experimenting recently with embossing with cutting dies and am getting some interesting results.

Suzette

Wilma

I love dry embossing. It's so much easier, quick and less messy.
