Default LSC159 - Tool Free

This week, we are getting back to the basics and playing with our paper, stamps, and ink... and any embellishments that don't require any special tools. Why???

We are going tool free!

Keyword: LSC159

You can use:
a standard cutter
standard everyday scissors
sponges
coloring tools
any embellishments that don't require a special tool

You may not use:
punches, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, Crop-o-dile, paper piercers, heat embossing, decorative scissors, sewing machine, tearing edge, cutter kit.... or any other specialized tool I probably forgot to list.

My Sample

LSC159 Gallery

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!


Need help linking a card? Follow these instructions!

1. Open 2 windows. One window for your card and one for this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Got to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
Your done!

No paper piercer huh? Well, I'm pretty good at making holes with a pair of plain everyday scissors! Cool challenge, Jen!

ok no seriously lol. I did this card 2 days ago but when I got done coloring and matting it I realized that I don't own a word window punch so I e-mailed my friend and she sent them out the next day and since she lives so close I got them today and finished the card lol. SO SEE NO TOOLS!

But someone would need the tool to CASE it.

Let's make some great samples without punches and tools for new members in the gallery.
