We have a beautiful back yard and love to have our friends over for barbecues.  I love to make cards and also love the Joy that a "Homemade card" brings to others."

WWC99 - Marsha's Clean & Simple (CAS) Make It With Hearts Challenge

This week Marsha Reed is hosting a Clean And Simple (CAS) challenge for you.  There's only one catch.  You need to include a heart somewhere in your project.  Wedding, anniversary, birthday or Valentine's Day, hearts are the order of the day.

The rules are simple for our Clean And Simple challenge.  Show lots of open space, use minimal layers and use minimal embellishments.  The Watercooler Artists have given you many great examples of what our Clean And Simple challenge looks like.

Due to the holidays, this is our last challenge for 2016.  It will run for two weeks so, you have until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, January 2, 2017 to link up your project.


Ready to create and link-up?  Need a bit more inspiration?  Just check out the terrific ways in which the Watercooler Artists were inspired this week.

WWC80 - Heidi's Clean & Simple "Water" Theme Challenge

The hostess for today's Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is Heidi Weaver!  Heidi is presenting a clean and simple challenge with a "water" theme.  Clean and simple is a much debated technique, but for this challenge it is cut and dry.  Our Watercooler Artists' team got together and created the following rule of thumb:

Either a single layer upon which we stamp or a base with a single layer upon which we stamp. Since we use embellishments for any other type of card, no embellishments or die-cuts or anything except the simplicity of stamping for the "clean & simple". That gives a clear reason for its name. And what is simpler than stamping? That will allow heat embossing since, if one decides to use a colour, heat embossing would show better than simple stamping. But no e f embossing. Clean and simple.

It's easy to follow and gives you a good idea of what we'll be looking for if you link up to our challenge.


There are lots of different ways in which you can use water for your creation.  You can see from all the wonderful sample created by our Watercooler Artists, just how varied simple stamping can be.  As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details on how the card was created.   We begin with Heidi's water scene:









And now it's your turn.  You can join us by linking up your creation with the InLinkz at the bottom of this challenge.  

Remember:
          1.  This must be a new project---no back-linking to a previous post.
          2.  You must link your project back to our challenge (details at top of page).
          3.  You must link directly to your post, not simply your general blog.
          4.  Please link to no more than 4 challenges, including ours.
          5.  Remember what we want to see in a clean and simple creation.
          6.  Have fun!

WWC76 - Penny's Clean & Simple Butterfly Theme Challenge

Welcome to our new Watercooler Wednesday challenge.  This week we feature a challenge that's perfect for this time of year, and that's Penny's Clean & Simple "Butterfly" theme challenge.  We have an easy to follow set of criteria for our Clean & Simple challenges:

   Either a single layer upon which we stamp or a base with a single layer
 upon which we stamp. Since we use embellishments for any other type of card, 
no embellishments or die-cuts or anything except the simplicity of stamping 
for the "clean & simple".  We will allow heat embossing since, 
if one decides to use a colour, heat embossing would show better
 than simple stamping. But no embossing folder embossing. Clean and simple!


We begin with our hostess, Penny Hanuszak, who has used the Papillon Potpourri and You've Got This stamp sets simply and beautifully.  For details on Penny's card and those of the other Watercooler Artists, simply click on the name beneath the card and you will "instantly" be taken to the appropriate blog post.








And now it's your turn.  You can join us by linking up your creation with the InLinkz at the bottom of this challenge.
