Challenge #3: Technique Challenge

Hello everyone! Happy August! This month I am your Posse challenge hostess. You know, August is one of my favorite months. It's the start of school (here in our county, the kids go back tomorrow!!), and I have always loved school. I like to learn, so school was always the best part of my life. Do you like to learn? Ever since I started stamping back in 2003, I think, i've loved to learn new things in regards to stamping and one of my favorite things has always been techniques. There are so many cool techniques out there that can totally take a card to the next level. My very favorite is Cracked Glass! This month for our main challenge, I want you guys to take YOUR favorite technique and wow us! Break out an old favorite or teach us something new. Don't really do techniques or don't know where to start? Check out the Try a new technique forum/gallery on Splitcoaststampers.com for a ton of ideas. Ready? Ok...get to thinking!

The Details:


1. Create a card using your favorite technique.
2. Use at least one PTI product on your card.
3. Post your creation to your blog on August 15th during the Papertrey Posse Parade of Blogs.
On the 15th, after you have posted your card, stop by and sign Mr. Linky on the official Parade of Blogs August 2010 post.

Petite Posse Challenge #2 - Fabulous Folds

I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems like I am stuck in a rut - always folding my cards in half vertically or horizontally. There are so many creative options for folding cards and using folds to embellish projects that I would like to try, so I thought it would be fun focus our second Petite Posse Challenge around Fabulous Folds.

One of my all time favorite folds for card making is the TriShutter Card.

Here is one that I made recently:



If you are not sure exactly what to do with this challenge, look up card folding, tea bag folding, or folded paper frames on YouTube.

The Details:

1. Create a card, layout or altered project using unique folding methods.
2. Post your masterpiece on your blog and link to any tutorials you may have used.
3. Sign Mr. Linky and leave a comment below to let us know that you have participated in the challenge.
