Another Week - another challenge. Thanks to Sheila for last week's fab challenge and to all of you who took part on and off the Forum - we love to see your work!

There are no restrictions on what you use - you don't have to be a stamper either, just use whatever you have in your stash!!

Tanda Teaser 41 - Straight As A Die!!!

Morning All
Are you all ready for a new challenge on this bright and sunny morning?
OK so this week I want you to design a card and everything must have a straight edge......no curves of any kind in your layers or embellishments.
This is not as easy as it sounds and I nearly tripped myself up when I wanted to add a brad to mine as it was a round one.
If you are stamping an image or adding a picture of some kind some curves may be unavoidable but as long as the image is used within a square or rectangle then that will be allowed.
You did us proud with your designs for Wendy's fab challenge last week so I can't wait to see what you do with this one.
As usual please leave a comment with a link to your entry for the challenge and we will come and admire your work.


I am having a bit of trouble with my scanner this morning so I will add the image of my card later.

Tanda Teaser 39 - Butterfly Blue

Hi Everyone,
We had some great cards for last weeks challenge from Wendy. Thanks to all who joined in.

This week I would like you to use a theme of butterflies and the colour blue in your design.
For my design I have used the butterfly stamp from TandaStamps Backgrounds Set 1 which I have stamped all over in blue Brilliance.
I then inked a Cuttlebug music folder and embossed a piece of white card. Coloured a spare piece of card with the same ink and die cut the letters.
Butterflies are done using a new Cuttlebug Cut and Emboss system so I have layered a foil printed vellum butterfly on top of an embossed butterfly........doesn't show too well though due to being flat in the scanner.
Anyway have fun with this one and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
As always leave a comment with a link to your work so that everyone can visit and admire.

Tanda Teaser 38 - Va Va VROOM!!

Another week and another Tanda Teaser! The Grand Prix started this week so I thought we would have a theme along those lines, there are plenty of fans out there! So the theme this week is called - 'Va Va VROOM!'

We would like your cards to have something on it that has an engine in it! So if cars aren't your thing you could have a motorbike, scooter, lorry, bus, aeroplane etc.

Cards do not have to feature Tanda products or stamping - just use whatever you have in your stash. We like to see all kinds of projects and work!!

Post your art on your blog and mention the Tanda Teaser with a link. Then leave a comment with the static link to your direct post.

For my card I used the Tanda Stamp Racing Set 1.

Come and join us and have fun!

Tanda Teaser 37 - Hey Up Me Old China!!!

Good morning.....sorry I am a bit late again. I didn't oversleep this time. The computer had some updates to complete when I turned it on and it has taken forever for them to finish.

Anyhow my challenge to you this week is to make a card with an Oriental theme.

I hadn't done any cards in this style for some time and really fancied doing one.

I have used a TandaStamps image over an alcohol ink background for the main image and layered this over some contrasting papers.

The corners of the card have been shaped by adding a peeloff the opposite way to how it would normally be applied and then I cut around it with a craft knife. I think it looks quite effective.

Looking forward to seeing all of your cards so if you do join in leave a link to your work in the comments and we will all come and admire and leave lovely comments.

Happy Crafting
