  6. Wow, these styles are all fabulous, I don't own a die cut machine and from looking at these projects, it's hard to choose a preference , classical and distressed can both look beautiful ....thanks for the chance at those gorgeous papers!!!!

  7. Gorgeous cards!!! I love using distress inks! I also make some cards classical as well. I am new to paper crafting and have had my Big Shot since December! It has made making interesting cards a dream!!!!

  8. I guess my style is distress, since I use Distress Inks on almost every project I do...LOL. Right now I am doing a lot of "water coloring", using the techniques I learned in the Creative Chemistry 101" class and really loving them.

  10. I like BRIGHT and VIBRANT colors and BOLD shapes so I guess I'm a classicist ;)

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm a mix of distressed and classical - but I do seem to have more Tim Holtz folders than anything :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I like classical but also distressed.....I cannot really tell as it depends a lot on the projects I am making!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think I have s'more classic style. I don't have any TH embossing folders yet, but those are definitely on my wish list!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow, what gorgeous cards. I couldn't really say what my style is. I just go with the flow.

  16. I like & use it all because I make a range of cards from whimsical to distressed.

  17. Sweet cards! If I had a die-cutting machine, I would prefer classical style :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I really prefer the classical, but both are nice. Yes, if your not taking the die cutting class...I highly recommend it, it is chocked full of great ideas, inspiration and information. The teachers are great and the wonderful Simon Says Stamps Store even offers the students a discount on purchases made during the class, which is way cool. Thanks again to the SSS team...your awesome !!!

  19. To be honest I love it all. Although I do have a tendency to veer towards distressed.

  20. I'd have to go with distressed. Love that washer border die.

  21. I love the distressed look ... but my cards are usually CAS and I find it impossible to achieve :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I am a classic scrapper, but also enjoy distressing......I love them``

    both!!

  23. What I love about Sizzix is that the tools are primed for you to infuse with whatever style your choose! I've used my Sizzix tools for boldly brash, explosively colorful projects as well as muted vintage ones. LOVE LOVE LOVE SIZZIX!

  24. I love to distress my die cuts, and someday I will own all of the Tim dies! It's my mission! =P

    ReplyDelete
  25. Typically my style is clean and classical. I don't do much distressing because I don't feel I do it well. I have just gotten my distress markers, though. :) I also am taking the A Cut Above class and it's awesome! Highly recommended!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Usually it is cas but now and then I break out into distressed

    ReplyDelete
  27. I only distress a little so I guess I would be counted as classical.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I kinda like the distress with vintage look to my projects, but clean and simple are always a nice fresh look too!! These projects are gorgeous !! Thanks for sharing with us.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I like them both; it depends on my mood which I choose.

  30. I love Beth's crown and heart card!

  31. I am totally Classic. Faded/Grunge to me leaves r[om to wonder if I am done or forgot something This is just in my craft life-- in real life I do it all.

    Love the 6 x 6 you are offering

    ReplyDelete
  32. I guess I'm classic but every now and then I bust out into distressed! Beautiful papers.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow...cool cards and new items! I definitely prefer the classic style, but the distressed is very attractive to me...just not my usual style.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Not sure I have a favorite yet, as I just recently bought a Grand Calibur. I have 2 dies/embossing folders that are more classical and 2 that are more distressed. So far, I'm mostly just playing. Have to save my money for more dies! The clocks and print blocks, as well as the damask embossing folders are on my radar. Thanks for letting us play along to win the great paper pack.

  35. I think my favourite changes with what I'm working on. I've been a really kick with distressing lately but I planning a couple of cards in the near future that will be more classic.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Beautiful cards. I would have to go with distressed.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love distressing. Everything must be distressed :O)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Beautiful creations. I guess if I
    were to pick it would be distressed.
    But I actually create both.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I definitely like the distressed look :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. This is a hard choice--it depends on who I'm making a card for and the style I'm creating. Shabby chic needs the distressed look, while the classic could be used for clean and simple. In other words I like both. Is that legal? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  41. While I occasionally aspire to the distressed look, I'm much better with the clean, classic look. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I sometimes try to do some mild distressing but usually have a classical look. Love the creations you showed! Hugs, Hanneke

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm already a follower. If I had a Sizzix, or any cutting system for that matter, my style would be distressed. I love the look of sanded embossing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think I like classical best but I still like to use the distressed look too!
