Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge

Today at Speedy Fox and Friends we are

 Challenging you to make Die Cut Designs on your card or LO. 

 I make several different ones and just wasn't happy with them so finally decided

 on the stars. The stars were cut with the different sizes of Spellbinder Dies. I interlocked

 them, overlapped them and nothing seemed right so did the boring thing and just set them 

inside one another! A little ink added to give them a more worn look. The side border

die is also an overlapped  Spellbinder border die. A little stitching and the sentiment 

added to finish it up. My teammates have some very pretty and creative uses for 

the dies so check out the blog.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge...

  Sorry my post didnt go this am ..

Its that time again friends, a new Challenge!  This week we are doing a sketch

I have stitched on some pink Bazzil paper for my card base. 

The edge was cut with a Stampin Up die.

I used a piece of striped scrap to cut the little flags to use as part of the sketch.

The sentiment is from the Rose Set.

I water colored one of the mum flowers from the Chrysanthemum Set.

Cut it out and added to my card. 
I dont have any of the faceted sequin everyone is using
so I added a few jewels for a little sparkle.

This is one of those simple cards, I love the mum and wanted it to be the focus.

Lots different ways you can used the sketch so hop over and join the fun~

Good Morning Friends

Today  Tuesday ThrowdownTeam B has and easy challenge, Anything Goes.

 Our Sponsor this week is Craft Classes Online. You will want to go to their site and

 check out all the GREAT classes they have available to help you with all 

different aspects of paper crafting!

I have used an old Carol Wright Image called Hummingbird for my card today.

 After water coloring it I added some blue chalk to the background. The black scalloped 

edge is a die from Stampin UP and I used the die cut for the card edge and the

 negative left over for the edge of the image that gives it a reverse circle.

 The image is so pretty that there wasn't really any 

need for much else on the card.The sentiment is from Stampin Up.

        Stop by and join the fun since the theme is wide open!

Happy Saturday!!

For you all in the US this is Memorial Weekend  and Im sure lots of you

 will be celebrating! Be safe, remember the reason we celebrate
 this day and you hope enjoy your long weekend!

 I'm very excited to have a extra day off to do some things that never seem to get 

finished on the weekends.
 Saturday also means time for a new 

Challenge at Speedy Fox and Friends. This week the Challenge is 7 layers.

 Wow 7 layers seems a lot especially for you CAS gals  but actually you would be

 surprised how quickly you can add them up. My base is three layers, the matting is two,

 the flower one and the sentiment one, Voila 7!

So I started with a piece of dp cut with a Stampin Up scalloped die

 and added another thin strip of the cream to it. Embossed the aqua with a Dotted Swiss folder

 and the base was done. I used a Spellbinder Label Twenty Two for the taupe and cream mats

. The flower is from one of the new Sets Gardenia, water colored and cut out.

 The sentiment is from the Chrysanthemum Set and cut out with a Marvy punch.

Our Speedy Fox Challenge

for this Saturday is A background with inchies. Hope you all are enjoying good weather.

 Here in the desert we got a wonderful little reprieve from the heat, it was only 69 yesterday

 with a few drops of rain!! Today is gorgeous and only supposed to be 84. Okay Im getting

 on to the Challenge, just excited about the cooling trend lol!!. I decided to go with just

 one color and added a little shading to all the edges. After attaching them all to the

 base I ran it thru with a embossing folder.Next I used a Spellbinder Doily Die to add

 the border. The sentiment is from the FRIENDS SET and cut out with a Spellbinder.

The flowers are from the CONEFLOWER SET. I wanted some contrast

 from the soft blue so went with the rusty tones for the flowers.

 Cut then out attached and done!!

You have until next Friday to check out all the different ways my teammate

used the inchies and to stop over and join the Challenge!!

Team B's turn

Happy Tuesday to you all

. Today the new Challenge at Tuesday Throwdown is to 

ADD A DOODLE. Our sponsor for this week is Doodle Pantry. The generously gave 

each of my teammates their choice of an image to work with so we all have different 

cards to share. You will want to visit their site and check out the great selection! 

I know Im going to be buying there more often.

 Mine set is called Lemons and Blueberries and since I loved both images 

I made 2 cards using them.The first one used the Lemon image. I printed the image

 three time slightly enlarging one, color and cut them out. I them layered them and

 added to the Spellbinder Oval cut out. A little doodling around the edge and that was

 finished. Using a couple diffeent scrap dps I stitched together  and cut a

 little fishtail tab. After cutting I doodled a little and attached with the button. 

The sentiment was also part of the set.

The second using Blueberries was cut, printed, colored and a little doodling added

. After stitching the dps together I embossed the center piece, doodled a bit and stitched on.

A  Martha Stewart Double Looped punch was used for the botton strip.

 The sentiment was part of the set also cut with a Spellbinder and foam dotted on.

 Actually the papers dont look so good here but in person the look really nice

together, the color and print blend nicely!

Come join in our Doodling Party this week and you could be the winner

 of A Doodle Pantry image too!!

Tuesday Throwdown

Happy Happy Tuesday to you all!! Are you ready for the new Challenge??

So Sorry I have not been around to visit you all

for the past week or so. I'm beginning to feel a little like a poster child for 

Murphy's Law lately LOL!!  Hubbys been down, I was sick but still

 having to work Long days, frig loaded with 2 weeks of groceries

 died, brake problems etc.  Im sure you all have the same stuff too!

Anyways I'm back on track and here is this weeks Challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. 

A get well card and our sponsor is Karleigh Sue Digi Stamps. I have used the image 

Take Time To Smell The Flowers printed twice and part of it cut out and layered to

 make more dimension for the image. The bottom floral in a Mary Engelbreit print.

After stitching around the card I decided to add some black checks and cover most of it up!

I Added dots to the Spellbinder Label along with the Sentiment foam dotted 

on.and attached with the brads.

We would love to have you stop over and join in the fun this week!

The Challenge for today....

Use a clear element on your creation. The gals from Tuesday Throwdown Team B 

 are being Sponsored by The Stamping Boutique. 

They have the cutest images and have generously supplied us with several to create with!!

This cutie is call Twirling Fairy. After coloring her I drew her skirt on vellum and cut it 

hoping it would give a clear look but no such luck! I added the clear glitter to 

her wings and added some more sparkle to her skirt and

 the little stars around her.

She was cut out with a Spellbinder die and foam dotted onto the purple

piece. The background was a couple of Bo Bunny dps stitched on

The clear element which really doesnt show up very well is the sentiment stamped onto

a piece of acetate and cut out with a Marvy Schalloped circle punch. 

I attached it onto the sheer bow and it done.

You have to stop over and see all the fun ideas all my teammates came up with!!

We would love to have you join us this week!

Friends of Speedy TV Challenge # 162

Happy Monday to you all!! Today our FOSTV Challenge is to make a Trifold Card.

 Now there are several varieties to make.

For my card I started with a Paisley DP turning it lengthwise and adding a coordinating

 rust colored strip on the edge. The striped closure is also a coordinating striped dp. Since time

is speeding by and it will be Father's Day before you know it I decided to get a head start. I 

used a Spellbinders die for the rust and creme papers.

The old vintage card and sentiment are from the  Classic Dad Set. After coloring the card

 I added some silver accents on the metal parts and cut it out. 

The sentiment was also cut with a Spellbinder and them embossed a little rust color

 added to the edges and foam dotted on.

On the inside I added a little of the dp and the Father's Day sentiment.

This is the inside of the card...

Since there are different types of Trifolds my teamies went several different directions. 

Janine also has listed different sites for you to find instructions on also.

 Be sure to stop over to see my talented teammates 

cards and also join us this week!!
