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?
Hi Ladies!! Yay! I am your hostess this week and I hope you have fun with my challenge. This week I would like you to�..make a designer envelope. What I mean by designer is that you use pretty paper or stamp your paper, don�t just leave it white. I would like to see any size, any design envelope you would care to make. It can be one that must be hand delivered or make one that can be sent in the mail. You can show off some pretty designer paper or a new stamp set you�d like to use. You can use a tutorial, create your own design, or use your scoreboard.
Now, I have more good news. You can earn 2 extra points if you make a card to match that envelope!! Remember, it can be any size and there is no wrong way to make an envelope as long as it works for you! My sample was done using the Diagonal Score Plate from SU!
Please use keyword YCDI3 for this round and remember we do NOT use a dash/hyphen in the keyword. I can�t wait to see what you create!
Ok, I've updated all the links in my siggy and I've added the points in for the week. ANYONE who completes this weeks challenge before midnight tonight will still get two points. It's not too late!
Gone a day and look what happens! Hostesses revealed, Kathy gives her points away, Connie is a chatterbox, Donna gets points from Kathy, Kathy has a relationship with chocolate, Kerra ate the whipped cream, Lynn is up early playing with random generator, toooo much fun happening while I was shopping!
So I have been a busy little beaver the last twelve hours. Here are the cards I made, some meet the requirements of the challenges and others were just fun to make.

Now that's funny, I told my DH about your lovely cards but you have to stand on your head.
Connie -now you have us all wondering what happened to you.. PLease tell pleeeease....
I want to try another paper piecing card but wont be this week..
and then will likely get all caught up in the next challenge... Wonder what it will be.. ..
Need to see the braclet Janet tha you made as well.!!!
Bed time.. for me.
Yesterday, I backed up into a 48 foot trailer & the next thing I knew what happened, my back window was shattered on my Blazer. It sound like a big BOOM! My 8yr daughter was the calm one, called Angie & she came to where I was while we waited for my DH's to come & see what happened. Of course, they came on their Harley's. Angie is a great friend, we'll do anything for each other. I got a new window in today for $150.00.
Connie, thanks for checking up on me. I had zehra in but forgot to add Terry, BUT I had them both in on the master list I keep because Terry did a card already so I had her there to give her points. PLEASE keep checking up on me...then I will remember to update the list here!

Hi gals,
here's my contribution to the piercing challenge (LOVED it Dea!!)
I don't think I can upload in my gallery yet,being Sunday and all, but would love to read your comments there too once I am clear to upload them...TXS
I used stamps from my stash that never inked before (MFT cafe' girls) and an old SU stamp that was only inked once since I bought it 7 yrs ago!! Yikes....(that takes care also of my 100 cards challenge) ;)
1st card has not one but THREE pierced items( dress, shirt and skirt)
Hope you like them!! ............
off to read about the new challenge now...

which time zone?? ahahahhahah!! glad I just finished mine!!:mrgreen:
Love the cards Paola, the envies are beautiful Kathy, Connie I hope you are feeling better quickly. I am very envious of the distance to your craft stores. I mainly order online and through su as we don't have a great choice. I will make up for the lack of stores in April, hubby is taking me to ckc Manchester or he is giving me the car and sending me on my merry little way for four days. It was an early birthday gift....
Envies hmmmm, I have never made one. I always buy them and decorate them before sending. Up to the drawing board.
Dea
I've never made mine either, however I do have the thingy that goes with the Scor-Pal that makes envelopes just never made them...maybe because I don't know how to use it.
There's tute's online, that's what I'm looking at.
That's great showing the tutorials! You're Awesome with a Big A!
Thank you! I like Dawn's tutorial, and she has a great blog with more tutorial's on other things. I tried to show a tutorial for several different ways to make an envelope. There is one more I'd like to post if I can ever find it! It is also handmade, without tools.
My PIERCED card...just finished!
