Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 99-- Clean & Simple

This week our challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card. This means no frills and 1 or less layers. I used a stencil to make my background. Used 5 of the stamps from this set which will be introduced on March 22nd during our Blog Hop. This was put together in 10 minutes. Very quick and easy. Come on over and join the challenge you could win a new Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company stamp set if your card is chosen. 

A Clean and Simple sneak peak.

This is for Splistcoaststampers CAS 157.  There was a sketch to follow which makes a really simple card. Takes minutes to put together and looks really nice. The stamps are from brand new sets being introduced later this month from Marks Finest Papers a Heinrich Company.

Wild Horses

I have had exactly ZERO time to stamp this week. Had to make some time today to play catch up. Here is the card I made for the Splitcoaststampers Sketch challenge SC375. I really like this sketch. The stamps are from a new set being introduced starting next Tuesday by Marks Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 98-- Bingo chart

This week we are playing a bingo sort of game. The difference is the playing board is already filled in.  What you do is pick a bingo, 3 in a row. Use those elements on your card. I chose Bling, Glitter and a MFP a HC image.

Here's my card. I stamped my image on a piece of acetate and then turned it over and colored it in with Stickles glitter.

Come on. Play along. You could be the winner of a new stamp set.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 97-- Recycle

This week the challenge is to recycle something on your card. Well I suggested this idea and I truly was challenged.  LOL. I started with buttons and then while looking through my stash of embellishments I found kitchen counter top laminate samples. I stamped my image on the piece but couldn't get the coloring light enough so I ended up paper piecing the entire image. Stamps from MFP a HC.

Go on over and join us. We'd love to see what you recycle. Using our products is not a requirement. You could win a new stamp set from MFP a HC.

SSSD-March Technique/Paper piecing

  This is a technique I have never done. It's very quick and easy. You will need an outlined type stamp. One you would normally have to color. Here we go.

 Stamp your image on the card stock and then on the designer paper. Now I'm only piecing one color. You may be piecing several colors depending on your image. 

                                       

                                                 Color in the parts that will not be pieced.

                                Cut out the pieces you will be using from the designer paper.

                                                       Attach them and make your card.

                                                                Here's mine.

                       This is another image I started. The leaves and the rose are paper pieced.
