FOSTV Challenge 18 - May Theme

Hello Fellow SpeedyTV Members,

Welcome to a brand new challenge with Friends of SpeedyTV. Can you believe that April is over? Where did the month go? Now that April is over you know what that means? "April Showers bring May flowers". Our theme for the week is to make a card that has to do with the month of May. So you ask what is that? It can be anything you want it to be, it can be flowers again if you want. It could be festivals, It could be gardening. What ever comes to mind when you think of the month of May.  One lucky winner of this challenge will win this fabulous stamp set:

"Pucker Up"

 

My Family loves to go strawberry picking in May. That is when you get the best most plump strawberries, but since we don't have a strawberry stamp set I thought why not make a card that has to do with picking fruit. This is one of my favorite stamp sets so I chose to make my card with the stamp set we are offering. I am using a technique called pastels on black. It is a very easy technique and can be done by the newest stamper. Be sure to stop by SpeedyTV and join the fun. If you are not a member of SpeedyTV it is not too late to become one. It is free and easy. I hope you enjoyed my card today. Thanks for stopping and commenting, I hope to see you again soon. Have a blessed day. 

Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Happy Saturday, welcome to a new challenge with Speedy Fox and Friends. This week we are challenging you to make a card using shades of blue. With so many different shades of blue out there your possibilities are endless.

For my card I am using the sketch from SCS. I am using " A Peaceful Nuthatch" and "You Light Up Your Life" stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. I used White, Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, and dark blue card stock for my card. I colored my image with Copic Markers. I finished off my card with some faux stitching with my white gel pen. I hope you liked my card today. Thanks for stopping and commenting, I hope to see you again soon. For more chances to win a free stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. check out the challenges with Friends of SpeedyTV. Have a blessed day.


I hope everyone enjoys this weeks challenge! We look forward to seeing your wonderful creations and commenting on your beautiful cards. You have until 3PM on Friday May 4, 2012 to post your card. Remember if you use MFP a Heinrich Company stamps your name will be entered into the drawing twice. Have fun and good luck.
Thanks

DRS Sports Challenge

I created this card for the DRS Designs Sports challenge. I used DRS Designs "Golf" stamp and colored it with my Copic Markers. I stitched my white card stock with white and green ribbon. Then I mounted the image onto tan card stock and then to the garden green card stock I chose for the base of my card.

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping and commenting, I hope to see you again soon. Have a blessed day.

Thanks

Fancy Fold Out Card

Good Morning,

Today I am showing you a card that I made using the Fancy Fold Out Card technique from Technique Junkies.. You can find the tutorial on the 3D and Fun Fold CD (a must have).I have fallen in love with this technique. I still have a hard time getting the edge punch just right, but practice makes perfect.

For my card I used Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co "Dogwood Blossoms" stamp set along with several stamp sets from Our Daily Bread Designs. I colored my images with Copic Markers. I used a great two-toned ribbon that matched the paper I used perfectly. I hope you liked my card. Thanks for stopping and commenting. I hope to see you again soon. Have a Blessed Day.

Thanks

Now I know you are thinking to yourself right now I don't have a sewing machine, well the good news is you don't need one. You can use a sewing machine or you can do faux stitching.

For my card I chose to use the newest technique I just learned called "Under the Flap" which you can find on the Technique Junkies 3D and Fun Folds CD (a must have).  I am using Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. "Pucker Up" stamp set for this card. I am using So Saffron and white card stock. I colored my images with Copic Markers and finished off the card with some gold gems. I hope you enjoyed my card.

Today we are showcasing our third stamp set for the month called " Hey Cowboy". This set is perfect for that man in your life no matter what the age.

Today on my first card I am using a new technique from Technique Junkies called "Copic Colored Embossing". this a really cool and easy technique. I added some ribbon and cowboy buttons to spice up my card.

For my second card I am showcasing the 5th stamp set released this month called "A Cowboy Thing".

                                       
On this card I colored the image and sentiment with Ruby Red ink. This bandana image is really cool and you can color in any color you choose. I finished off this card with more cowboy buttons.

 I hope you enjoyed my cards. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the final day of the hop and our last great stamp set.

Today we are featuring our second release for the month called "Daffodil Greetings". I absolutely love this stamp set. Up until now I thought the only flower that I likes was Magnolia's but I just learned that I really like Daffodil's too.

For my first card, I wanted to spice things up a bit and make a fancy fold card from Technique Junkies 3D and Fun Folds CD called "Fancy Fold Out Card".  For my first attempt I am pretty pleased with the outcome for the most part. I had some issues with the border punch but it still looks good. I used a teal card stock for the base, Calypso Coral and several different designer papers. I colored my images with Copic Markers.

                                            

 For my second card I made for additional inspiration on the Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co blog. I used two more techniques from Technique Junkies which were fun. The first one was Chalk Emboss (but did not emboss) then I finished off the technique with Faux Quilted Diamonds instead of embossing. I added Cream colored Viva Pearl Pen dots for my pearls. 

I hope you enjoyed my cards today, I surely did have fun making them. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for another Cool stamp set. Hop on over to SpeedyTV to play with Friends of SpeedyTV for another chance to win free stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. Remember the more you comment the better chance you have of winning one of these great stamp sets. Have a blessed day. 

Thanks

Welcome to day on of our April Blog hop. Today we are showcasing the first of our April Release stamp sets called "Fabulous Dogs". Can I tell you what a fun set this is. I could not make up my mind what kind of card I was going to make with this stamp set since there are so many choices.

For My card today I am using Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Very Vanilla and designer paper. I colored my image with Copic Markers. I used a dog ribbon and dog brads.

With this set we are also offering this great mini. Let me tell you I fell in love with this little gem. The dog in this set reminds me so much of my dad, who I lost in October. He always had this sour look on his face. If you knew my dad he was a master of jokes (some funny, some not funny), but he never smiled he always kept you guessing.

I could not resist making a card with this stamp set as well. For this card I colored my image using watercolor crayons. I chose Night of Navy, Very Vanilla and Garden green card stocks. I finished off my card with some great dog buttons and ribbon. 

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, I hope you enjoyed the cards I had for you today. I hope to see you again soon. Be sure to visit all the designers blogs, the more you comment the better your chances are of winning one of these great stamp sets. For more fun with Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co and more chances to win a free stamp set, check out the challenges with Friends of SpeedyTV.  Be sure to check back tomorrow for another AWESOME stamp set. Have a blessed day.

Thanks
