Today's challenge from Sabrina was to "put a crimp in it". I made a masculine card, adding a strip of crimped cardstock along the side. I've had my crimping tool for probably 14 years and it has never worked worth a darn! It never feeds the cardstock through straight, so the panel that I started to have the entire length of the card got chopped off where the crimper started going crooked LOL

Marvelous masculine card. The crimped piece is excellent. Great job with this new stamp set; I have not figured it all out yet. Your card is going into my favs. The background stamping and embellishments look terrific. Wonderful done, Claudia. TFS

Fantastic card with new and old stamps....always loved the linen bg stamp...looks great in these colors. Love your new scene stamp...looks great. Never had much luck with my crimper doing a straight piece. TFS

Well done on even trying with your crappy crimper, Claudia. My old one was like that too - in fact, it would barely even crimp copy paper. Personally I'm glad I got a new one last year, but I know most people are happy to purge theirs. The texture and rustic look is great with your sweet little watercolour-effect panel.

Wonderful masculine card! You really have the knack with this waterfront stamp set! And btw, having a crappy crimper is better than having a crimpy crapper! Sorry, just couldn't help it!
