This week’s theme inspired <\/span>Beulah Bee<\/a> to consider the distinctive edge found on postage stamps. She created a collection of handmade stamps using a variety of materials including <\/span>Uchi’s Design Stamp Embossing Punch<\/a>, <\/span>Tim Holtz Tiny Things<\/a> rubber stamps\u00a0and <\/span>Prismacolor Colored Pencils<\/a>. She\u00a0decorated an <\/span>Idea-ology Notebook Worn Binder<\/a>\u00a0to display them in using the <\/span>Correspondence Stamp Set<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Idea-ology Snippets<\/a>\u00a0and the <\/span>Hero Arts Legacy Lowercase<\/a> stamp set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> used flowers and stitching to give a nice edge to her Grateful Girl card. \u00a0She used lots of dies to bring her card together, including Seth Apter’s Coffee Ring<\/a>, Reverse Confetti’s Grateful, Thankful, Blessed<\/a> and Tim Holtz’s Trellis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a layout this week, with lots of different kinds of edges; a\u00a0stamped<\/a> transparency, stars die cut with Tim Holtz Star Cluste<\/a>r die, and Wrought Iron Dresden<\/a> borders by Prima.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Barbara<\/a> is always fascinated by the sea! She created a Mini Framed panel<\/a> mixing Tim Holtz Watson <\/a>\u00a0and Tim Holtz Sea life stamps<\/a>. She highlighted the edge with \u00a0Stampendous GOLD LUX MIX Micas and Glitters<\/a> and Prima Marketing Metallique Wax Vintage Gold.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cathie<\/a> played with a new color combination and created this pretty card using the Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Thanks<\/a> and PaperArtsy’s Jofy 32<\/a> stamp sets.The flowers are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>\u00a0used Grit Paste<\/a> coloured with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink<\/a> to give her the perfect rusty finish to the edge of her “arty” panel which she completed with images from the Dapper Stamp Set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kath<\/a> made a Burlap frame for her Idea-ology Paper Dolls<\/a> Family Canvas with Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Alterations Trellis Frameworks Die<\/a> cut from Idea-ology Textured Surfaces<\/a>\u00a0and Memoranda Paper Stash<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lols <\/a>made a card using a Paper Artsy Zinski Art 06 <\/a>and Zini 01 Mini <\/a>Rubber Stamp Sets to make a whimsical card. She replicated the zig-zag design on the stamps in the stitching and then used a Paper Distresser<\/a> to create more interest along the edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena <\/a>comes with a Home Sweet Home card today. She made a kind of frame using Tim Holtz\/Sizzix Pipelines Bigz<\/a> die. She gave some vibrancy with the deep Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red Ink<\/a> and for the soft watercolor background she used Tim Holtz Mosaic <\/a>stencil.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> got edgy with steampunk, framed her canvas using Tim Holtz’s Ruler Pieces<\/a>, and added some Prima Vintage Art Decor Medallions<\/a> using the moulds and Prima’s Paper Clay.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> made a mixed media card this week with distressed and sewed edges. She colored and stamped the background of the card with Tim Holtz Oxide Reinkers<\/a>\u00a0and Oxide Ink Pads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> made a birthday card and went a little of the edge with the Pediments die<\/a>. It’s painted black with the Black Paint Dabber<\/a> to get some extra structure and went over it with Old Silver Metallique Wax<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Zoey<\/a>\u00a0made this tag with acrylic paints<\/a>\u00a0and used Tissue Tape<\/a> and Tim Holtz paperdolls<\/a> to decorate it. She used left overs die cuts to add interest to the corners of this tag<\/p>\n
