Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Before you get excited/frustrated �cause you have lots/don�t have any patterned or designer paper, WAIT!! This is NOT what you think . . . exactly . . .
What this week�s challenge entails making your very OWN patterned/designer paper. I get comments on my cards all the time where someone will say �Great DSP!� Funny thing is, I have usually made it myself! Here are the rules:
Using only ONE stamp set for your entire creation (yup, you read that right, just ONE), make a card that features patterned paper you make yourself using the images from the stamp set you select. Don�t worry, you can still stamp something as a focal point, I�d just like you to use your hand-stamped patterned paper somewhere on the card.
Any sentiments you incorporate must also come from the same ONE stamp set.
As far as punches/Nestabilties, diecuts, etc., you may only use these IF you are going to use them as part of your sentiment ONLY! Do not frame/mount any images using punches/diecuts, etc. You CAN, however, handcut any images you want!!
And if that weren�t enough, the only embellishments you can use are ribbon and brads. Also, NO Cuttlebugging or texture plates. We want to see your lovely patterned paper!!!
How�s that for limited?? I just want to give y�all an opportunity to go back to the basics . . . paper, stamps and ink!! Have fun!!
Amelia (Wendybell�sGirl) has been SOOO busy with dance practices/performances this week, that she didn�t have any time to make a sample, but says �Hi!� to all of you!! Here are my samples:

Oh ya, very limited supplies! Great challenge Wendy and thank you. Right now, I'm wrapping all of my spare ribbon around clothes pins and putting in pretty glass jars. Am I insane or what?! See y'all in the morning after I get my taxes done. Ugh.
Now that sounds good fun. Glad you said stamp set and not stamp, LOL, which was what I first read. DH is hoping I'll go to the motorbike show with him after work, but I hope I'll get to play later on this evening. Thanks for such an inspiring challenge.

WOW! This sounds interesting. Hmmm, I wonder if I should start on it or do my grocery shopping. Great challenge.

Ok, I decided to do a quick card that I knew I could do in 15 minutes. Today is my grocery shopping day so I can't really play like I want to. It's a fall card, but it works for me. Hope you like it.
