Nested Z- fold card

Today on Speedy TV I am the featured designer. I am sharing with you a tutorial I made on the Z fold card. This one uses your Nestibilities dies. Head on over to the MFP a HC Blog and you will find a link right to the tutorial on Speedy TV.  This is my card.  When closed the front die cut panel covers the inside die cut.

Sneal Peak Columns & Topiaries

I was playing around with the resist technique. This one is white pencil through a stencil and then sponged with color. I had something else in mind but this is what I ended up with.  Love this Topiary.

Cute little set. I added Silver sparkle glitter on the front and a 2" panel on the inside

April Showers / Friday Mashup 104

The Friday Mash up this week is to make a card with an umbrella on it. I started out embossing my umbrella and boots. Then colored them in. Pressed them onto a Versa Mark pad and clear embossed. The background is a puzzle like technique using an embossing folder.

Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge 154

We're doing something different for this weeks challenge. We're making bookmarks or a card with an attached bookmark. I have been seeing Vellum and white embossing lately and you know I have a stack of vellum and never pull it out. So I have used it for the top layer of my bookmark.. 

Go on over and add your Bookmark for a chance to win a great stamp set.

SSSD April Technique

This one has lots of directions you can go with all the different embossing folders available. Here is what you need to get started. Embossing folders, card stock and whatever machine you use for this.

Take the first embossing folder and your card stock. Just stick in about 2 1/4 " of the card stock in your folder. We will be creating a center blank area for a sentiment. After you get going this could be higher or lower or even wider. It will be up to you.

Next put the bottom 2 1/4" into a second folder and emboss. 

Here are my two designs with the center blank area. 

Turn it over to the back side and score along the line of your embossed designs.

 Here is what you will have when you turn it back over to the front. 

For my card I decided to sponge some ink on the top design and I added 2 embossed butterflies.
