CCEEers Conquer The Impossible Card

Lynn is our hostess for the CCEE Stampers Chalenges for the month of July....here is her challenge for this week.....

Hi, friends. Lynn McAuley here! I will be hosting the CCEE Challenges for the month of July and hope that you will want to join in on the fun.

Suddenly I am seeing the Impossible Card popping up everywhere I turn. This new fun fold is based on a famous card trick so it isn't really all that new! I thought it would be great if the CCEE Stampers put their own "twist" on this design with their creations this week.

Here is a link to a tutorial by Maymay Made It Crafts that will show you what it is all about! It demonstrates the Impossible Card in several varied sizes.


First thng I must do is to apologize for my lousy photo.....I had  a very hard time getting a pic of this card.  I finally had to lighten it, takiing away the richness of the actual colors....OH WELL....

I actually found this style of 'fancy fold' very easy and loved adding the rounded corners.  I used an Altenw set for the rose and a die for the skeleton leaves.  The sentiment is from an MFT set.  I added a touch of paper piercing on the sentiment panel.

Be sure to sstop at the CCEE Blog to see the fab cards created with the impossible card technique.

CCEEers Share Their Fav Techniques

Liz has given the CCEE Stampers a fun and easy challenge to end January. The challenge is to show us your favorite technique in cardmaking. Maybe it is embossing, fancy folds, paper piecing, multilayered stamping, paper piercing, collage, etc. We will enjoy seeing what you have to offer in fun techniques.

Well....I made a CAS card highlighting one of my favorite techniques.....paper piercing.   

The image I used was out of its packaging, but I believe it is by Penny Black.  I masked the iimage area, sponged on the background and then stamped the image.  I then added the sentiment by MFT and the paper piercing.

Can't wait to see what fav techniques the rest of this talented team have used this week....check them out at the CCEE Blog.
