THIS WEEKS TUTORIAL TIME WITH SPEEDY TV

is brought to you by me. If you hop over to the TTSTV CHALLENGE

you will find the tutorial I made on Making Your Own Chipboard.

 

Its fairly quick and easy to do. I made
 a variety of things up for examples and have used several of them on my little mixed media

 piece today. I started with a little canvas stamping it with the Just A Note and Cracked  Hello in different spots. Next I used paste and stencils followed with some paints and inks.

 The frame is one of the chipboard pieces

 I used some paints on and then backed it with a piece of dp

 that has some sparkle on it.The chipboard dressmaker form

 was  stamped with the Just A Note then lace, a rhinestone and

 button added to dress it up.It was foam dotted on. The button is 

also a chipboard piece, embossed, painted. and added glossy accents to.
The sentiment if from the Be Wild & Free Set! Reminds me of how
we should be when we create, letting ourselves be free to be us!

The flower was cut with a Spellbinder carnation die and a pearl

 center added.

All was fixed to a piece of burlap with a little crocheted trim.

 The piece is hung with the

 chipboard flourish I made. If you have dies or punches ir is easy 

to make whatever you want and  give it 

the treatment you desire! All the girls
have lots of creative ideas for the chipboard you will want to check out!

It's lots of fun so join us this week
Today is my birthday and I have a couple packages from
my sisters looks like some fun new crafting goodies , will
have to share them soon :)

See you there!

Friends of Speedy Tv is Challenging you

to make a Thanksgiving creation.I have made a pop up card for my sister.

Using the Autumn Splendor  Set I colored and cut out the Pumpkins and acorns.

 The sentiment from the I Am Thankful Set was stamped onto the  Lost & 

Found dp and cut with a Spellbinder tag then foam dotted onto anther Spellbinder

 tag. The top of the yellow was cut with a Spellbinder Scallopped Oval and then 

Embossed. The L&F striped dp was added behind the oval. My birthday is

 this Friday and my sweet sis gave me part of my gift early, some burlap! I 

used it for the leaves and for the scalloped border on the bottom. More 

striped dp for borders and lastly the three pumpkins were tabbed and 

attached so they lay down when the card closes.

Tutorial Time with Speedy TV

has a new challenge today, its an altered notebook cover. 

I used the dp for my inspiration. The notebook was black so I sprayed it 

white first.Using the Huge Blossoms Images I stamped and heat embossed 

them cutting out the white and yellow one. . I wanted to used the yellow 

and red to go with flowers on the dp.  Cut and embossed a leaf to add a little

 green. Part of the sentiment is stamped onto a Spellbinder label and the 

other on the red. I love these little power packed words from the 

 Today, Tomorrow And Always Set! God made each of us special and 

even with our flaws we can walk with confidence each day knowing

 that His love & forgiveness to us is abundant! Finally I used a 

ribbon to tie my notebook closed, so it makes a

 great one for my daily journal.

 My Teammates have a fabulous variety of ideas

so be sure to stop by and join us this week.

 making a banner and you can join 

in the fun. There will be a daily winner picked AND the Grand Prize is 20 stamp sets of

The Spellbinder pennants turned upside down made for a
perfect for a tree shape. After cutting the pennants the green was  cut,

embossed and edges distressed then added to the pennant.
 The striped tree is cut from a PTI die and a star topper added. 

The snowflakes were cut from a die and punches and layered around. I know
Butterflies and snowflakes may seem like a odd combo but

it needed a topper and in my crazy world it works. Some of the 

snowflakes were glittered up to give them some shimmer in person.

 A few buttons tied on and attached each pennant to a thin
 sisal rope, there you are a quick little banner.

 Today for TUTORIAL TIME WITH SPEEDY TV 

Pat has given us a great tutorial on two tone resist

It is a great technique with a nice variety of results. I started with pastels 

on white then stamped the Pocket Watches Set with versamark and added 

clear embossing powder. After heating it I went over it with some

 brown ink. The areas that weren't embossed are the brown areas.

 I then added it to a piece gold then onto the embossed creme cardstock. 

 The little corner designs are from a die that has no name on it

. The pocket watch is from the Take the Time Set, cut out and

foam dotted on. A bold black sentiment for a  simple card.

one. The image and Happy Halloween are from Im Going Batty Set, the boos and

 cat are from the What A Scream Set. I cut out a dp in a half circle and embossed 

and then stamped the black all over with the boo sentiments. The stars and purple

 were cut out with Spellbinders. The cat was stamped with white then cut out 

and foam dotted on. The bat is from a little set my friend sent me stamped in the

 grey and cut out. The the silver stars are cut out of metal..

Friday Challenge

The Grand Prize is 20 Stamp Sets plus daily gifts also


for Tutorial Time With Speedy TV is Fruit Background. 

 Using fruit to create dp was fun!!

 I had a lime on hand so used it to

 create my background First 

mixed a dusty blue, seafoam,

 olive and a bit of lavender ink 

together then dipped the lime slice in them and 

pounced on the paper. I did use a little pressure to get all the ink on the paper so the fruit isnt real defined but I do like it Actually the color looks mostly grey in the pic but in person is more aqua looking..It did make for an interesting look.

Used a soft aqua SU paper for the 

scalloped circle, sentiment and little border strip. A little aqua striped 

dp was punched with a Dotted Scallop MS punch.My pretty peacock

 is from the Be A Showoff Set. After coloring and cutting out the

 peacock I added some Stickles for a little shimmer to show off his

 majestic feathers. Some dots added to the scallop circle and a little 

flourish for Mr Peacock to perch upon. He was pop dotted on. 

The sentiment is from the Ivy and Blossom Set  with a couple little jewels to sparkle it up a bit.  We all used 

different things for this technique and got lots of very cool

 results so be sure to stop by and check out all my

 teammies fabulous creations!!

 

Just had to share my wonderful gift from my sweet jewel of a friend Martha! She

 sent me a early birthday gift and it is quite the gift, a cool 12x12 storage box FULL of 

paper! Check this out EVERYcolor and design you can imagine plus some

 Washi tape, cute little stamp sets and the foam dots that I used all the time!
