Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 214

This week the theme is Vintage. I had these sea shells and the scrap of background on my desk so I decided to use them. I antiqued all the pieces to give them a vintage look. Go on over to the Speedy Fox and Blog and add your card.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 213

This week we're trying Magic Masking. You pick up the ink colors with masking tape and apply it to your card stock. I've used a metal die to cut my tape painted shape out and applied the Tiger Lily. Both backgrounds use the colors of the rainbow. The main background was made following the directions on Speedy TV Stamper column Basic Backgrounds 5-20-14. Go on over to the Speedy Fox Blog and join in. Add your own creation for a chance at the prize.

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV Challenge 101

The challenge this week is to use old jewelry parts as embellishments. I do not wear jewelry so off to the flea market I went and I found this little gem for .25. See what you can find and add your card for a chance to win the prize.

I decided to make a post it note holder cover. This is how I made it. 

Take a piece of Designer Paper 3 x 9. I used a piece of my Gelli Plate fun time.  and you need a 3x3 Post it Note pad. 

Score it at 3 1/8, 3 1/2, 6 1/2, 7

Attach the pad to the center section with the open end at the bottom. 

The top flap is the smaller end. Use an edge punch of decorative scissors on the edge. 

Now attach some velcro to the back of the top flap and on the front side of the bottom flap. 

Close it up and decorate. 

I stamped a small sentiment on the bottom.
