Tutorial Time wih Speedy TV #21

For our Tutorial Time Challenge we have a fun one...faux brick

Pat Garvin has a GREAT Tutorial with all the how to instructions Here.

 After making several sheets of different colored brick I decided

 to use the red ones for a chimney. Cut out the chimney and then
 cut and small strip to create the top layer on the chimney.
 Using a Spellbinder scalloped 

border I made layers for the roof of the house, adding windows

 before adding the chimney.

The Santa popping out of the chimney is

from one of the new Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Co.sets,

I colored Santa with copics and added dimensional paint

 for his beard, mustache and the fur on hat and sleeves.

 Using a 1" punch I attached the Ho Ho Ho's to make it a little

 more fun. Stop over and see my teammates inspirational projects,

 they have lots of different ideas.

The free stamp set for this weeks winner is

Tuesday Throwdown

Happy Tuesday Friends...our new Challenge at TT

I have used copics and water colors for the

 pumpkin crow  image. My papers are a combo of

 Lost & Found stitched together. The image was cut out

Friends of Speedy TV #43

Hope you all had a great weekend. For our FOSTV Challenge you

 have a choice of  Halloween or Fall Harvest. I don't do

 Halloween so Im making a fall themed card using the 

pumpkin and acorn from the Autumn Splendor set.

After coloring the images I cut the pumpkin with a
Spellbinder Floral Oval then cut out the acorn
and added.
After embossing the paper I
 used several different inks
to color it up a bit. The fishtail flags seem to be
all the rage now so using some webbed ribbon I cut one to
 go behind the image.All was stitched onto the base card.



 Be sure to join in the challenge and you will have a chance
to win the this lovely set.

Our FOSTV Challenge is to alter an item. 

My husband eats oatmeal every morning year round so I have plenty of

large containers! I thought they would make cute luminaires.
Its surprising how much light a med size candle will make

 First I foil lined the inside of the container to make
 it more fire resistant, then covered with dp.
 I have used the snowman from the Holly Jolly Greeting set
from Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. 
Tearing strips of white paper, adding in layers to make
the snow and adding lots of chunky glitter.

Here is a close up of the snowmen, they are so cute!

 Using a soda pop can I cut out stars using the 

Spellbinder star dies. I then cut star shapes out  of the container and
added the  metal star borders to cover the edges. Lastly using a
 little hand punch I punched out the

 tiny stars around the top. The snowflakes are cut using a MS punch
with a little glitter added to the centers.
Now be sure to look around

 and see what you can alter and join our challenge.

My card is made using Mona's Color Challenge.

Thursday so this card is for her

. We were recently talking about when  we met.

It was before our kids were born and have been friends

 for 38 years, isn't that amazing! 

After stitching on the dp 

I cut the border, cut the little pocket with a Spellbinder Label# 22 

and embossed. I made the flower out of scrim and attached

a little pearl center.

Some dyed ribbon for the bow and tag.

The back of the tag has a little pocket in which I tucked 

a gift certificate for a pedicure.

Tutorial Time at Speedy TV

Today is Friday so its time for a new Challenge.

 This week  Pam Stang  has done a tutorial on distressing. 

Using one of the sunflowers from the Bring On The Sun Set

 I have used copic markers to color it like on of the 

newer sunflower colors. This stamp and all sets can be found 

at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. After distressing 

and stitching on the layers I added a little bow made from 

scrim and tied up with a matching button. The sentiment

 and a quick fun fall flavored card. Hope you all have

 a fabulous weekend. Here in the desert it is supposed to

 be down in the 90s and Im lovin the cooler weather!

Friends of Speedy TV

Happy Monday you all.

I thought I would share a pic of a dragonfly. Friday evening

I went outside shortly after sundown and saw this dragonfly.

The light was low so couldnt get it any clearer.

 It landed on a rusty hanger and I thought it 

was interesting that its colors were the same.

 

FOSTV has a new challenge today. 

So simple, it is using Chipboard. I have used one of  

 Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Co's new sets. Buried Treasures 

 has a great variety of sentiments and fun images. After

 water coloring the images I cut out the parrot with

 a Spellbinder Label# 8 and did some rough

 shading around it. The map was cut out and

 darkened all around the edges.

  I thought these were the perfect dps for this project. It is

 from Lost & Found which I won at CR84FN Color Challenge.

 I painted my chipboard hinges and skull & crossbone  pieces

 from Tim Holtz. Thought the skull needed a little skullcap
 made from fabric.The dps were stitched on and the card

front cut short to reveal part of the inside. The sentiment
 was stamped, cut apart and  added. 

  On the inside I added the map and an old key.
This cute little pirate set it has lots of 

possibilities and my message in this card is that 

each of us has a treasure with in! 

 It is up to us to discover and develop that!

Winner will receive this Stamp Set
