Kool Kitty Musings: 2018 card challenge

About my project supply lists:
I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I've used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list. I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

2018 card challenge - June prompt

Morning all!

This month's challenge is a nice easy one and can be interpreted in various media.

We're focusing on...

Borders

...this month!

The perfect opportunity to take a look at your punch drawer again, see what you have that you've not used for a while
Look to your dies to make intricate borders to contrast over another piece of paper, or even to create a shaped edge to your actual card base
Don't forget you can create a custom border of images using those small elements in stamp sets, you can even add some lovely corner details this way
Subtle borders can be created by scoring lines for an embossed or de-bossed edge
Then there's always doodling with a pen
And last but not least, when was the last time you sewed on a project? My sewing machine hasn't been put to much use in papercraft for a while, and I do love some of the more decorative stitches on there.

For such a simple design element, there are definitely plenty of options to consider! :D

Happy crafting!
