Brick Wall

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  Vicky Gould our challenge hostess for the month of August continues to bring us some fun challenges.

This week Vicky challenge us to create a card/project using the Brick Wall Technique. You can find a tutorial on this technique over on Splitcoast Stampers.

For my card this week I used a stamp set from Couture Creations which I stamped on designer paper before cutting up to create my brick wall. 

Here is the inside of my card, I had a few extra “bricks” left over after creating the front of my card so I added them to the inside adding some of the tiny sentiments including in the stamp set.

Don’t forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:

Hi All!

It’s Day 4 of the MFTeasers and I have another card to share with you! Today the MFT Stamps Design Team are featuring three more of the new sets that are to be released by MFT Stamps on Wednesday 6th October.

The sets being shown today are called Flapper Doodles in the Kitchen; Be Inspired – Cage Bird and Jolinne – I’m Sorry.

For my card today I used the Be Inspired – Cage Bird stamp set. This is a brand new range of stamps that MFT will be releasing. I have been wanting to create a card using the brick wall technique for some time now and finally got around to doing it.

On the front of my card I used three MFT Die-namics …. these are:

• Button Quartet die which is a brand new die going to be released this week.
• Notebook Edge die
• Rounded Banner die

Here is the inside of my card, I used one of the sentiments included in the set and also another MFT Die-namic die…. this one is the Scalloped Scallop Die.
