Thankful Pumpkin - Friends Of SpeedyTV Challenge #5

Hello everyone and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!  This week the Friends of SpeedyTV are challenging you to come up with Free for All Holiday Card.  I chose a Thanksgiving card and started out with a pumpkin shaped card, sponged some Stampin Up! pumpkin pie ink around the edges, and then added some Debbie Mumm designer paper I had in my stash. 

I then stamped my images using Mark's Finest Papers A Heinrich Company's Country Thanksgiving set stamped in memento tuxedo black ink onto corn husk card stock and then colored them with prismacolor markers before cutting out the sunflowers and one pumpkin/sunflower combination image to pop up later.  After punching out the main pumpkin and sunflower image, and matching artichoke mat layer, I added some white dots along the scalloped edge before adding the entire thing to the center of the card.  Once that was done, the sunflowers were layered across the top, popping them up using pop up glue dots and pulling the edges slightly up for added dimension.  The final sunflower image was then added to the main centerpiece also with a pop up glue dot before adding Making Memories page pebbles to all of the centers.  Here's a close up of the center panels.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

Speedy the Cat at Mark's Finest Papers likes to get a head start on special Christmas gifts and memories for friends and family.

The hop runs for 12 consecutive days, starting October 17th!

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! We have four samples each day for our hop! Please visit each of the following blogs for holiday inspiration! Joanne Faith Debbie M Pam   Today we are featuring Post-It Note Holders.

For my project, I pulled out a couple of cardboad coasters, like the ones found in resturaunts, and covered them with some Me And My Big Ideas Christmas designer paper.  Once that was done, I pulled out my Mark's Finest Papers Christmas In The Country stamp set and stamped my image in memento tuxedo black ink onto MFP Corn Husk card stock before pulling out some prismacolor watercolor pencils and a blender pen and got to coloring; blending the colors as needed.  Once my watercoloring was done, I layered the image onto some scrap card stock before layering again onto the MAMBI Christmas paper and adding some white snowflake brads.  For the final touches, I added some ice stickles to highlight the sky, snow, and church as well as some ribbon on the key rings I found at Walmart.

Post-it note holders are fun, inexpensive gifts for the office, school or stocking stuffers and can be altered for any occasion including birthdays.  There's no reason not to have a few extras lying around for a last minute gift, and if put into a clear cellophane gift bag, or wrapper, with a matching pen and candy; you've just stepped up the gift an extra notch. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  I hope you've enjoyed the Mark's Finest Papers 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop.  We would love to see any Christmas, birthday, or anyday presents/creations you make.  Just upload them to SpeedyTV.

Little Pumpkin - My Time Made Easy Pretty Patterns #33

Hello and happy Thursday.  It's time for another My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch challenge.  This week I chose to be a little different and make a shaped card to go with the sketch. 

I started out by downloading a new Perfect Pumpkin card template (that will be added to the store later), printing onto my card stock, and cutting out the necessary pieces and then stamping the swirls from A Spot Of Tea on the outside of the pumpkin before layering. 

I then downloaded, printed out twice, colored and cut out one of the Purr-Fect Pumpkin digital stamps before layering and adding some Making Memories pumpkin brads from last year.  After all of that was done, I stippled some Stampin Up! tangerine tango ink around the card, added some ribbon, primas, and bling to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  I hope to see you participating in this week's My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch challenge.

Eyes Of The Tiger - MMTPT 169

Hello and happy Tuesday.  Today I have a card to share I made for this week's Mothermark Teapot Tuesday challenge using some tiger fur designer paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby a couple of weeks ago when it opened locally paired with Mark's Finest Papers Big Cats stamp set. 

I started out by stamping my tiger image in memento tuxedo black on Mark's Finest Papers Corn Husk card stock and colored with Koh-I-Noor pencils with a blender marker.  After cutting out and layering the image, I added some die cut leaves around my tiger image to give the appearance of it looking through the "brush".  For the final touches, I added some Ranger crystal effects to the tigers eyes, gold ribbon and die cut flowers using MFT's Perfect Petal Trio Die-Namics with a gold gem sticker center and Stampin Up's tangerine tango dye ink stippled over the petals.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

News Flash!!!

Hello everyone.  How are you enjoying your weekend so far??  Today, I am sharing a card I made for one of my sisters-in-law's birthday using Paper Smooches Boob Tubes stamp set.  I totally love the retro and goofy feel of this stamp set.  Kim sure had a lot of fun making it for sure.  It's got to be one of my favorite Kim Hughes sets (including her retired CHF sets) of all time.

I started out by stamping one of the old TV sets as a background in Stampin Up! soft suede on matching card stock before stamping it twice more onto white card stock in memento tuxedo black.  Once all of that was done, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and colored the TV's, and highlighted sections of the "News Flash" saying before sponging Stampin Up! soft suede around the edges of the card and image panel and layering. 

I then pulled out my MFT die-namics and die cut both the Jumbo Ric Rac (a staple of mine) and the Leafy Flourish in scrap card stocks before adhering my main image panel by popping it up over the die cuts.  Once that was done, I then adhered the second cut out TV, popped it up with pop dots, and finally adhered some silk flowers, primas, and gem stickers to highlight the TV knobs, flower centers, and parts of the leafy flourish.  A quick and easy card done in 15 minutes.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

For my project, I started out by taking a frame I had found on clearance at Walmart, removed the glass, and dusted off the frame sides.  Once that was done, I pulled out Mark's Finest Papers Christmas In The Country and Holly Greetings then stamped my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto Mark's Finest Papers Corn Husk card stock before pulling out my prismacolor watercolor pencils and blender pen.  Once my images were colored, I cut them all out for popping up with pop dots or pop up glue dots.  My main image is layered onto scrap baja breeze & chocolate chip card stock, then distressed, and layered onto Basic Gray designer paper overlaid onto the die cut frame mat. 

There is a lot of dimension in this frame.  Here's a side view of the frame.  For the final touches, I added various colors of ice stickles to highlight the snow, church, trees, leaves, and sky as well as Ranger Crystal Effects to the owls eyes to give some added dimension.

Weeds and Wildflowers - My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch #32

Another one of my migraine induce ugly productions.  Please have mercy on me again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello and happy Thursday.  Welcome to another My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch Challenge.  These week I chose to go with the KISS technique - Keep It Simple Stamper especially since my migraines were "working" overtime.

For my card, I chose to use the Keep Strong digital stamp set.  Once I had downloaded the set and broke it apart, I printed out only the "Weeds & Wildflowers" saying onto white card stock and then colored part of the image with prismacolor pencils and a blender pencil.  Once that was done, I stippled Stampin Up! bashful blue ink lightly around the edges before layering onto some Stampin Up! scrap card stock and making my own matching brads.  For the final touches, I pulled out some primas, ribbon, buttons adhered with glue dots.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.

October's Blast From The Past!!!

Last ugly one I'm going to link up.  Why I blogged this for a customer blog hop is beyond me except my migraines again - I'm going to stick to that story I think.  The few comments I received on it were just being generous in my opinion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello and welcome!!  It's time for Taylored Expressions Blast From The Past Blog Hop!!  This month we were challenged to come up with either a Halloween project or something sweet.  I went with both on my project.  Of course, I did this at the last minute again thanks to the migraine issue.  Ugh!!  Anyone want them?  They're free!!

I started out by stamping my images from TE's Cozy Cottages twice in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock before coloring with prismacolor markers.  Once both of my images were colored, I cut the second ones out and put them aside to pop up later.  Then taking some designer paper I received in a swap - just love that Halloween looking paper! - I layered it onto some Stampin Up! only orange card stock then stippled the same colored dye ink around the edges.  Once that was done, I pulled out some Stampin Up! chocolate chip scraps and my TE Whimsy Tree die and die cut two trees using my Big Shot.  After adding the trees, both of my colored/popped up images, and some bling, I was ready to add some ice stickles to highlight the "home" rooftops.  For my final touches, some Halloween ribbon, charm, and brads from last year were the perfect additions.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Make sure to check out all of the participating Taylored Expressions hoppers and leave some love for them.  You can find the links below.

Coasters - Mark's Finest Papers 12 Days Of Christmas Blog Hop

Speedy the Cat at Mark's Finest Papers likes to get a head start on special Christmas gifts and memories for friends and family.

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! We have four samples each day for our hop! Please visit each of the following blogs for holiday inspiration! Patty Lois Geri Connie Today we are featuring altered coasters - tile or otherwise.

For my coasters, I bought a set of tile coasters from Lowe's, found the smoothest ones in the box, washed them, and then lightly sanded them using a Tim Holtz sanding block.  After the tiles were dry, I then pulled out my Mark's Finest Papers Holly Greetings set and stamped my images in StazOn Jet Black ink.  Once my images were stamped, I immediately cleaned the stamps since StazOn ink can stain acrylic stamps if left on them for too long. 

After the ink was dry, and my stamps cleaned, I pulled out some Bic permanent markers and got to coloring.  Now, coloring with permanent markers will take a couple of coats since too much pressure will start to remove the StazOn ink a bit.  After my marker coloring was dry, I then baked, yes I said baked, the tiles in the oven at 275 degrees on a cookie sheet with tin foil under them for about 15 minutes to set the ink/markers and then allowed them to cool.  Once the tiles were cooled, I adhered some felt foam circles to the bottom and they're done!!  Easy peasy!!

Soaring Dreams - My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch #31

Hello and welcome to another My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch Challenge.  This week we are doing a week in review again by reviewing patterns 13-18.  For my card this week, I chose to go with Pretty Pattern #13.

I started out by downloading the On Display digital stamp set and then breaking the set apart.  Once that was done, I printed off the airplane twice onto white card stock, making sure to adjust the print setting so it would be a bit lighter, before downloading and printing off the Sweet & Sour Nomad's teal airplane digital designer paper.

After my printing was done, I pulled out some RoseArt colored pencils and colored selected sections of the airplane panel before cutting one up to pop up later.  I used some cloud brads from Michael's to finish my card off.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope to see you participating this week at MTME's Pretty Pattern Sketch Challenge.  We're also having a design team call, so if you have ever wanted to be on the team, make sure to participate.  Have a great day.

Wild Thing!! - Friends Of SpeedyTV Challenge #2

Welcome to Monday again!  This week's Friends of SpeedyTV challenge is to make an anniversary card.  I chose to be a little "wild" with my card for this week by pulling out Mark's Finest Papers stamp set called Big Cats. 

I started out by stamping the tiger from the set twice in memento tuxedo black ink onto Corn Husk card stock and coloring with prismacolor markers before cutting one of the images out for popping up later.  Once my coloring was done, I pulled out some retired basic gray designer paper, stippled some Stampin Up! tangerine tango ink around the edges of the card and paper before adding my layered tiger image.  Taking the "Wild Thing" sentiment from the set, I stamped that in memento tuxedo black also on Corn Husk scrap card stock, stippled tangerine tango around the saying before layering and adding some Making Memories baby brads to it.  Now, the rest of my sentiment I computer generated since it wasn't with the set, and after printing it off, also stippled, layered and added the baby brads to make sure it matched.

For the finishing touches, I added some layered silk flowers with a brad center and then popped up the second tiger image I had cut out earlier.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope to see you this week participating in the challenge.  Have a great day.

The Journey - My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch #30

Hello and happy Thursday.  It's time for another My Time Made Easy Pretty Pattern Sketch challenge.  For this week's sketch, I decided to do a Breast Cancer theme since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. 

I started out by downloading the Keep Strong digital images and after breaking the set apart, I printed off "The Journey" sentiment and cut it out using my Spellbinders labels fourteen. 

After stamping my background using the Take Time acrylic stamp set, I punched out some butterflies using a Martha Stewart butterfly trio punch before sponging Stampin Up! regal rose ink around the edges of the card.

Life's Short Sketch and Color Throwdown

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday!!  It's been a while since I've been able to do a Color Throwdown challenge, so I was glad I could combine this one with the sketch challenge over on Splitcoaststampers. 

I started by pulling out my Mark's Finest Papers Poppies, Poppies, Poppies set and stamped my images twice in memento tuxedo black ink onto white card stock before reaching for my prismacolor markers. I took my inspiration from the California poppies that grow wild here in the early Spring and Summer months, making sure to keep my shading as close to the "real thing" as possible.  After the coloring for my main image panel was finished, I pulled out several stipple brushes and lightly stippled several different Stampin Up! colors over and around the poppies until I was happy with the shading.  Once that was done, I started applying the additional panels for the sketch matching the color throwdown ones as well.

When everything was completely assembled, with ribbons & clips added as well, I started popping up the final poppies making sure to arrange the smaller ones around the greeting circles at the bottom.  For the final touch, I pulled out my black ice stickles and highlighted the centers of the poppies for a little sparkle.  Every card has to have some sparkle, right? ;)

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great week.

I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Know I Can

Welcome to Monday!!!  Now before you start groaning and moaning, Monday's are going to be a whole lot more fun to see coming because Mark's Finest Papers now has a new Friends of Speedy TV challenge over on the Mark's Finest Papers blog. 

This week's challenge is to create a masculine card; you know, something for the guys.  With that in mind, I pulled out my All Aboard set and stamped one of the train engines three times in PTI dark chocolate ink on Mark's Finest Papers Corn Husk Premium paper card stock making sure to set two of the engines aside for cutting out later.  Then I took the little Speedy the Cat trademark image from the set and stamped that three times as well making sure to only ink the cat portion of the stamp.

Once all of my stamping was done, I took my main image layer and stippled Stampin Up! tangerine tango and Tim Holtz vintage photo and tea stain distress inks around the image to create a vintage flavor to the card before layering over an embossed layered chocolate chip scrap border on some autumn checkered designer paper I received in a swap recently.  Taking my stamped images, I cut each one out and then layered them using different sized pop dots for added dimension before popping the entire engine panel over my embossed border.  Here's a close up.

For the finishing touches, I die cut some paper buttons using a Sizzix button sizzlet I picked up at Michael's a couple of years ago on clearance, a Marvy punched train engine (again picked up on clearance), and then some Mark's Finest Papers red jute across the top.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope to see you participating in the new Friends of Speedy TV challenges.  Have a great day.
