So, onto our 50th challenge

Stamp & Create

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Technique Lines or No Lines (& 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 have dabbled with the no-lines technique but it scares me still, so although I love it, I'm just not brave enough.  I think it looks fab when it's done well though.

Samantha

My Favourite is Lines.  2 reasons; the first I have never had enough courage
to try no lines and secondly, in this case I am paper piecing so I need to see the lines!

Carol
Simple answer from me, I can't see them lol! So it has to be lines, bad enough getting it right on these kinda images. 

Mojca

I love lines, they make the image pop out. 

 

Sarah

It's lines for me. I like definition and lines give just that.  Lines can also make the colours on your card sing, as in this case.

Suzette

**coming soon**


Wilma
I prefer lines! Simply because I have never tried "no lines". 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Technique Lines or No Lines (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Wild Orchid Craft

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Digi or Rubber (& 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

Although I do love my digis, (great for storage and sizing / flipping directions etc), I am really getting back into the proper inky stamping which is where I started out.  I love using my DI reinkers too, which I prefer painting on thicker watercolour card which unfortunately won't go through my printer.  I also have a small addiction to some of the rubber designs, including Lili of the Valley which is featured on today's card.

Samantha
Well I don't know about you all but I really do like digital stamps for many reasons... resizing is one of the best reasons I can think of, However it was rubber stamps that got me into stamping and I still have a very strong love for them just the whole inking up the stamp and making marks is so much fun and stamping and embossing and well the list goes on and on..

Carol

Love playing with my rubber stamps to create just what I want, any design or any colour. Love playing around and having fun  

Mojca

I must say I am a rubber fan. I love digi stamps too of course, but rubber stamps are something so special, you can ink them up and stamp on whatever material you want.

Sarah

I love digi stamps because they can be resized to suit whatever size of card you are making and at the click of a button you can find just about any kind of image imaginable!!

Suzette
I love these images as they are very spring/summer and you can add fab embellishments that make the images pop.

Wilma
It's rubber for me this time. I love this Bella stamp, it makes me smile and it's fun to colour. 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Digi or Rubber (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Annette

Using Roll Bag Template from Shape EZ 
as I have a bit of an obsession with storage and boxes!

SamanthaMy favourite anything but a card has to be crochet
I chose to Crochet a fox as I love to crochet and
so this is why my anything but a card was an easy choice for me.

Carol

I like making wall hangings as little pressies, just to say I'm thinking of you.

Mojca

For me it must be muffins. If I don't do a box for them, I am just satisfied with a card shaped as a muffin ;)

Sarah

I've made a slip cover box, which is really easy to make  and makes a change from a conventional box. It also makes brilliant use of those "special" double sided papers that we have in our stash!!

Suzette
I do love shapes as it is different from your every day square and rectangular cards.

Wilma
What I also like to do is make small gifts. 
I save all sorts of packaging and pimp them up. 
I bought this clothes peg for that purpose.

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Project that's not a Card (& why).
