Speedy Fox Featured Designer

Hello Everyone,

This week I am honored to be the Featured Designer for Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. Since I got so many great comments last week on my coasters during the blog hop I thought what a great time to do a tutorial on it. You can also see my tutorial Here on SpeedyTV. This is an extremely easy and fun project to do and makes great gift ideas.

Coasters Tutorial

Supplies

Staz-on Black ink pad

Markers  (Copics Used here)

Stamps

Ceramic tiles (quantity of your choice)

Velcro or Felt

Step One:

Choose your focal stamp and stamp the image onto your tiles with Staz-On Black ink.  (Tiles can be bought at Menards, Lowes, or Home Depot by the case). Be sure to press hard to get even coverage of the stamp.

Tip: if you don’t get even coverage don’t toss out your tile, use a baby wipe and it will clean off the image.

Step Two:

Stamp any other images or sentiments onto your tiles with the Black Staz-on ink.

Step Three:

Color your images with your choice of utensils. I used Copics to color my images.

Step Four:

Take the soft part of your Velcro and adhere to the back of the tile to avoid scratching your furniture.

Finished Project

 

 

I hope this helps to answer any questions that some of you were having from my coasters from last week. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.

Thanks

Friends of SpeedyTV # 34 - Beach Themed

Welcome to another week of challenges with Friends of SpeedyTV. I am sorry this post is late, today I learned some very sad news. Today we learned that we lost one of our beloved designers. Barb Colbert who served on the Friends of SpeedyTV and the Speedy Fox and Friends design teams passed away. So first I would like to express our deepest condolences to Barb's Family. We ask that you pray for them.

You will be missed!!!!

This weeks challenge since summer is coming to a close very soon is to make a beach themed card so we can remember summer. This week you will be playing for this AWESOME stamp set:

"Background Fun"

For my card this week I used Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co "Silly Shells" and "Tree Greetings" to create my beach themed card. I colored it with Copic Markers and Chalk. 

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping and commenting. I hope to see you again soon. 

Now it is your turn to show us your beach challenge cards that you created for us.  You can use any stamp set that you would like, but if you use a Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co stamp set your name will be entered twice.

Speedy Fox and Friends #121 - Friendship

Happy Saturday,

Welcome to another fun filled week of challenges with Speedy Fox and Friends. Sorry I missed you last week. This has been a crazy month for me, but I am back and I have some gift bags to show you. This weeks challenge is to make a card about friendship. Well since I was making gift bags for my Norwex business I decided why not make them friendship bags and kill two birds with one stone. I so love how these turned out. I didn't have enough of the same ribbon to do the same on each bag so I thought I would spice things up a bit and make three different ones. I use Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co August stamp release "Bring On the Sun".

I hope you enjoyed my gift bags. They were fun to make. Thanks for stopping and commenting. I hope to see you again. Have a blessed day.

Thanks
